Nice video... good memories! My dad was Free State and I was Northern Transvaal. So many arguments... in a good way...my dad hate Naas Botha and his drop goals and the ref was always against the Free State no matter who they play! Free State's backline was dangerous though.
Full of springboks...Eben Jansen, Hennie Becker, Martiens Le Roux, Barry Wolmarans, Helgard Muller, Gypsie Pienaar, Gerry Sonnekus, Jaco Reinach, Vleis Visagie et al
Do you perhaps have highlights of the 1983 Lion Cup Final between OFS and Transvaal played in September of 1983? I remember a memorable try by Freestate Centre Zillen Roos. I would love to see that try again, but so far any searches for that match came up empty handed. Hopefully you can help?
Free State Rugby at its best! They play such an attractive game of rugby. They smashed all the so called "big" South African sides in the Currie Cup last year. They made the Bulls, Lions, Sharks and WP look like amateurs. I hope the Currie Cup will take place this year so that the Free State Cheetahs can humiliate them again.
Beautiful Rugby..miss these days..
This was the type of romantic running Rugby from the amateur era that was fun and entertaining to watch.
Great video.
Great memories.
Miss the old jerseys

Andre Joubert And Gysie Pienaar on the same field. Gold.
I sort of remembered Gysie playing fullback, and wondered how they would solve that? Turns out he was flyhalf...
Jaco Reinach Snr...wow...some serious gas
Toe was dit nog Oranje Vrystaat gewees. Vrystaat het 'n mooi rugby wapen gehad.
Great Rugby 🏉
When the Cheetahs lift the tempo they can beat any team with 50 points.
😂 Aye right
Yes ..... they r like the French

Unfortunately not, sorry Harry
Is that Helgard Muller try at 3:37 not against Northern Transvaal but Transvaal?
Yes, it was against Tvl
Daar was nog trots om n Cheetah trui aan te trek

Always have and always will be the most exciting team to watch in South-Africa
The game was nicer to watch then
Hardloop Rugby is darem maar mooi!
When commentators were still picked for their voices.
best commentators ever
Om n Cheetah ondersteuner te wees is in jou bloed

Yes we do. You can actually find the full third test on UA-cam if you search for it :-)
