This channel is for the love of rugby. There are plenty of channels with footage on the latest rugby games and highlights, but there are no channels with the rare footage Real Rugby has to offer. Real Rugby will mostly share videos from South Africa, including the Springboks to classic provincial games involving Northern Transvaal, Transvaal, Natal, Western Province and Orange Free State. Real rugby covers mostly the 70's to the 90's.
I hope you enjoy this channel!

Master class.
He was good then but lost all the running abilities very early can only pass.
can only pass LOL?
What a wonderful player. I always supported him, through his ups and downs, and never really understood some people disdain for him. He is class, and his 2 world cup medals will always remind us of that.
Saw many of this ganes alive this was rugby
Wonderful work. Absolutely stunning!👌🏾
Absolute legend.and to think he was out of favour with some springbok coaches.Should have played many more test matches than he did in his career.
In my opinion the most talented player to ever wear a springbok jersey.
Brilliant tribute for a brilliant player, I wouldn't have included the Brumbies intercept though, I remember that game he had an issue with his hamstring, only reason he got ran down, was reported in our nexs paper the next morning too that he might miss the next game.
*news
amazind footage, thank you for posting
I feel for you, Real rugby. Try to do something nice and got political backlash and greviences. No good deed go's unpunished. Errol Tobias was a pioneer.
One thing I've learned Koos is that you can't please all of the people all of the time, you an only please some of the people some of the time. Luckily, the majority of folks supporting this channel are all legends. I don't really care about the rest
Damn they used to crush in the later 90's. Well-oiled machine. Gregan & Eales's immortals.
I don't think the magnitude of the All Blacks series victory in 1981 against the Springboks will ever be recognized. They were an excellent touring team and Naas Botha reputation preceded him.
These are all great players but not the pioneers of black and colloured rugby. They will tell you themselves. There were even greater players that played for the non racial teams.
How many times did wp liga won the currie cup? Or play in the A section of the currie cup?
I met Errol Tobias - and, in fact, every member of the touring team - when the Springboks visited New Zealand on that tumultuous tour of 1981. That was the best Springbok team I have ever seen in my lifetime, and better than the team that I saw last year in Auckland, even though that fine team won the World Cup. If not for the endless protests, I think that the 1981 Springbok team would have beaten us at home. For context, the All Blacks had an outstanding team in 1981. That third test at Eden Park was unforgettable, a tale of two halves, with a Cessna dropping flour bombs on the field throughout. Obviously, Errol was never going to play in the 1981 test series as Naas Botha was the man with a mortgage on the number 10 shirt, and Naas was easily the best player in the world in his position at that time. I also saw Errol play for the President's XV against England at Twickenham in 1984. He was in superb form. The Springbok players in that team were in their pomp, none more so than Danie Gerber, the best center I ever saw play rugby. Errol played well when Danie was alongside him. Great to see some footage of that match on here. My brother and I met Rob Louw in the Twickenham carpark after the match. My brother regularly corresponded with Rob in those days after Rob gave him a Springbok jersey on the 1981 tour. One can only wonder how untouchable the Springboks would have been had they allowed players who were not white to play for them throughout their history. Scary thought!
Most of the colored players were selfish who had no respect for the Saccos principles no nornal sport in an abnormal society ,my opinion is that most of the coloured players were selish and narrow and only concerned about themselves
As you say, in your opinion
Apartheid puppets
They are not pioneers they are arse creepers in apartheid
Avril williams the uncle of chester .christie noble spoed se baas jp pietersen uncle.damn we got robbed of not seeing the likes of peter jooste and gary bosshoff in their pump.tjankyou goodness we seeing cheslin kolbe and lukhanyo am nowadays
It's a pity we didn't have the video technology in the 60's to the 80's that we have today. You would've seen the brilliant SARU rugby players of that era play. The '76 All Blacks went to watch the WP Saru team at the time and Sid Going said Cassiem Jabaar, WP and SARU scrumhalf was World Class. Too many of that era's SARU players' talent was overlooked by the mainstream media, which is a pity. Even today, we haven't even levelled the playing field yet (economically) and look at the talent that has been unearthed. Back to back world cup champs! We should be dominating World Rugby!! We have the numbers, rugby in SA is alsmost classless, we have alsmost no overseas imports (Unlike European national teams, who are invaded by all nations, including Saffas, who dominate as well. During Apartheid there were so many Rugby Unions and Sub-Unions - on a Saturday morning we had hundreds of games being played from Junior at 09h00 to 1st team at 17h00. In WP we had WPRU, WPRB, Tygerberg, City and Suburban, Somerset-West and Boland! Each sub union had about 20 - 30 clubs with juniors and seniors! Then you add schools rugby Coloured, Indian and Black schools had hundreds of rugby players playing every week!! When unification took place everything disappeared!!The new SARB could not control or were unable to control such a big organisation. Thousands of talented rugby talent just disappeared. WORLD RUGBY DOMINATION !!
China Bell👌
SBW is evil.
40 minutes smiling ear to ear. What a player.
brings great memories from the Time of WP , tinus linee Solly geduld , hennie shields wilfred cupido pompies jerome paarwater
Great memories ...
2 years ago I left a comment here, I see its still the last comment ever. Sad, so sad. Its funny how one career could be ruined by politics and influence. The WP boys were favs right. Did we win anything important with them?
What about all the true rugby heroes under the banner of SARU SACOS?
What about them?
Please showcase them too, people that played rugby according to the law of day. And which slogan was no normal sport in an abnormal society
Absolutely. Send me videos of these players playing and I'll happily update the video
Carter's pass at 13:13... damn, the GOAT!
Interesting at 16:04 Greg Martin doing play-by-play. Was that before they hired Sean Maloney?
Strange that black players who accepted the old rugby board names get mentioned .while others suffered.eg. salie lippe ,cassiem jabaar,napoleon ,majola etc ..
Well, you just mentioned them
They must bring that yellow Springbok jersey back
That is not a Springbok jersey
damn....these sa players back then really invented to dive for the try
There is this belief that the boks were as good as the all blacks in the amateur era.......unfortunately not true....only due to apartheid as we all know that the NZ cavaliers were not allowed to bring Maori players over to SA back then and if they were allowed to do then the results would have different and SA would not have won many games up until 1996 were the series defeat to the all blacks changed everything and swung the pendullum to the all blacks side ever since
Thank you for this vid. Another excellent showing.
Pioneers klomp gatkruipers
Sorry this is not the true reflection of rugby in our country . Too many Sacos legends that were better than them . Normal sport in an abnormal society
Never claimed for this to be any reflection on anything. It's just a collection of clips of good players who did manage to break through during the isolation years
Shit clips you not doing justice to coloureds
I think Joubert is the one player I think everyone will agree is the best we have ever had in his position.
I agree he was up there, but not convinced everyone will agree. Opinions are subjective
Norman Mbiko? Mxolisi Mekuto?
Os...the man, the legend!
With all due respect. The real heroes are those SARU players who boycotted the system and refused to be used as window dressing. Because of them our players today have opportunity. Sport was used as a serious form of boycott and the above players that was not affiliated to SaRU were not allowed to play for their colored schools back then.
No comments??????
🐐
Amazingly brisk and balanced runner. Incredible to think that P Montgomery had more caps - and seemingly enjoys a more enhanced reputation. AJ was twice the player IMHO.
Wat was great to see is the handling in the early 90s passes were in front of the players the support play and the angle running was well executed
The comments on this video are a disgrace. Despite the fact goldie has somehow hurt your feeings expressing his rugby opinions (especially as probably knows more about rugby than 95% of the people on the planet) he was a magnificent player. If it wasn't for the fact that the All Blacks had so many other magnificent backs at the time, the crowds would be amazed by him. In almost any other team and any other time he would be the stand out back. And he was an all round athlete too.
Doug Wholet ?
Sorry Doug Wholett
Very talented but not Golden..seen many kids grass root rugby very gifted in same era that unfortunately or fortunately never meet Laurie mains
And still the best of all time.. no one like him
Some great players 👏... Tobias was a genius
take his kicking away...he is below average rugby player.....i laugh when he speaks so much about how to play the game when he never really did....except getting mowed down by morne duplesis
2:40 clear knockon
