25 years ago today, Matt Dawson sold a dummy to the Springbok defence and his life changed forever. Highlights from the epic first Test against South Africa.
Virtually every physical contact from Saffers was illegal and cheap thuggish tactics were the norm from them - penalty count should have been way more - nasty pieces of work , a reflection I suppose
Wow, that was relentless attacking rugby, unlike todays stop start set piece orientated play, interesting that SA couldn't kick for toffee even back then, If it wasn't for Handre Pollard and his nerves of steel kicking, they wouldn't have scraped through in 1 point games at the WC

Scott Gibbs. What a warrior!
Neil Jenkins kicking display was monumental and kept lions in the hunt
Subscribed to Sky Sports just for this series in 97, what memories!
I was there. First test match my dad took me to. Remember it vividly to this day.
The Dummy of The Century? Thank you Lions for these great vids.
Brilliant. Remember it well. Beating the Boks on their home turf. Can't be anything sweeter!
Even the cameraman fell for that dummy, we all did in the pub as well.

I didn't realize Matt Dawson was so small. He's a little fella.
Back when rugby was rugby...
