BRITISH LIONS SOUTH AFRICA TOUR 1974
This is a potted compilation from a programme from the series "Sporting Legends". It features the historic British Lions Rugby Union tour of 1974 to South Africa where they became the first Lions to remain unbeaten in all games (and were robbed in the Fourth Test!!... look up the records if you feel the need!!). The tour went ahead despite South Africa being in the grip of apartheid. I am not defending nor criticising the decision to tour. All this clip is designed to do is to show the camaraderie and unity of the players on that tour and the stories that are related by the wonderful Scottish lock forward, the late Gordon Brown and the sublime, lyrical captain of the Lions - Willie John McBride. Music played a large part in the unity of the team (as seen on this clip) and the emergence of the anthem "The Flower of Scotland" is shown within this. Sadly, Gordon Brown (who was such a natural and had a marvellous delivery of a story) is no longer with us as he died in 2001 at age of 53 and Roy Williamson (of the Scottish folk duo The Corries) who wrote the anthem in 1965 also died too young in 1990. I am not a rampant Scot but an "Anglicised Welshman" but I loved the corinthian spirit of Rugby Union at that time and the fire of the Celts. I hope you enjoy the clip and not view it in any political way.

The Invincibles: The 1974 British and Irish Lions Tour of South Africa
Available on DVD from www.digitalclassics.co.uk and all major retailers. An extraordinary moment in the world of sport and politics In 1974 the South African apartheid regime was under worldwide condemnation; in defiance of a developing international policy to isolate South Africa, the British and Irish Lions rugby team controversially accepted the invitation to tour the country and play a test series against their ancient rivals, the Springboks. The resulting series was one of the most violent in Lions history; yet those 22 matches produced remarkable rugby, including many memorable tries. The Lions enjoyed unparalleled success and with some of the greatest players ever to grace the game, they went unbeaten, going down in rugby legend as The Invincibles. This film, which includes unique personal footage from the players, is both a thrilling celebration of a remarkable rugby team and a poignant reminder of the scale of change in South Africa since that landmark tour. Interviews include personal insights from the following: Willie-John McBride, Gareth Edwards, JJ Williams, JPR Williams, Fran Cotton, Roger Uttley, Fergus Slattery, Makhenkesi Stofile ( Minister of Sport RSA) and Peter Hain MP.

Herschelle Gibbs 175 (111) Inc, 9 Sixes - Australia 434 VS South Africa 438 famous Game
Herschelle Herman Gibbs (born 23 February 1974 in Cape Town, South Africa) is a South African cricketer, more specifically a batsman. Gibbs was schooled at St Joseph's Marist College and then Diocesan College in Rondebosch. Gibbs was a gifted sportman at school playing provincial rugby, cricket and soccer and featuring in SA Schools teams for all three sports. At backward point, he is considered by some to be the next Jonty Rhodes in his ability to hit the stumps, with a report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showing that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he had effected the eighth highest number of run-outs in ODI cricket of any fieldsman, with the tenth highest success rate.[1] Gibbs is said to rarely practice in the nets before a match. It is said he prefers to play on instinct in this case. He became the first player to hit six sixes in one over in One Day International cricket, doing so against the Netherlands in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. On 8 June 2007 he got married in St Kitts to Tenielle Povey,[2] but divorced soon afterwards. est Centuries Herschelle Gibbs's Test Centuries Runs Match Against City/Country Venue Year [1] 211* 13 New Zealand Christchurch, New Zealand AMI Stadium 1999 [2] 120 14 New Zealand Wellington, New Zealand Basin Reserve 1999 [3] 147 29 Zimbabwe Harare, Zimbabwe Harare Sports Club 2001 [4] 107 31 India Bloemfontein, South Africa Goodyear Park 2001 [5] 196 32 India Port Elizabeth, South Africa Sahara Oval St George's 2001 [6] 104 38 Australia Durban, South Africa Sahara Stadium Kingsmead 2002 [7] 114 40 Bangladesh Potchefstroom, South Africa Sedgars Park 2003 [8] 228 43 Pakistan Cape Town, South Africa Sahara Park Newlands 2003 [9] 179 46 England Birmingham, England Edgbaston 2003 [10] 183 50 England London, England The Oval 2003 [11] 142 54 West Indies Durban, South Africa Sahara Stadium Kingsmead 2003 [12] 142 55 West Indies Cape Town, South Africa Sahara Park Newlands 2004 [13] 192 56 West Indies Centurion, South Africa SuperSport Park 2004 [14] 161 63 England Johannesburg, South Africa New Wanderers Stadium 2005 [edit]One Day International Centuries Herschelle Gibbs's One Day International Centuries Runs Match Against City/Country Venue Year [1] 125 20 West Indies Port Elizabeth, South Africa Sahara Oval St George's 1999 [2] 101 35 Australia Leeds, England Headingley Stadium 1999 [3] 111 47 India Kochi, India Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi 2000 [4] 104 65 West Indies St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda Antigua Recreation Ground 2001 [5] 107 68 West Indies Bridgetown, Barbados Kensington Oval 2001 [6] 125 71 Zimbabwe Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Queens Sports Club 2001 [7] 114 97 Pakistan Tangier, Morocco National Cricket Stadium 2002 [8] 116 103 Kenya Colombo, Sri Lanka R.

Herschelle Gibbs 175 off 111 balls Inc, 8 SIXES & 12 Fours | South Africa 438 VS Australia 434 HD
Herschelle Herman Gibbs (born 23 February 1974 in Cape Town, South Africa) is a South African cricketer, more specifically a batsman. Gibbs was schooled at St Joseph's Marist College and then Diocesan College in Rondebosch. Gibbs was a gifted sportman at school playing provincial rugby, cricket and soccer and featuring in SA Schools teams for all three sports. At backward point, he is considered by some to be the next Jonty Rhodes in his ability to hit the stumps, with a report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showing that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, He became the first player to hit six sixes in one over in One Day International cricket, doing so against the Netherlands in the 2007 Cricket World Cup. On 8 June 2007 he got married in St Kitts to Tenielle Povey On 12 March 2006, Gibbs played a monumental innings in the 5th ODI against Australia, scoring 175 off just 111 balls leading South Africa to victory.he was batting with Graeme Smith after Boeta Dippenaar got out on 1(3)bowled by Nathan Bracken. This was the highest scoring One Day International match in history and his innings broke several batting records. It was the highest ever score made in an ODI against Australia, beating Robin Smith's effort in 1993. By bringing up his hundred off just 79 balls, he also brought up what was at the time the fastest ever ODI century against Australia. More importantly however, it was the fastest ever hundred by a South African batsman against any opposition, although the record would be broken later in the year by Mark Boucher.[5] It was also the highest ever score by a batsman in South Africa. He scored 126 runs in boundaries, the most ever by a batsman.[6] This record stood until 11 April 2011, when Shane Watson hit 150 runs in boundaries against Bangladesh. In the match against the Netherlands in the group stage of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Gibbs hit six sixes in an over off the bowling of Daan van Bunge becoming the first player in One Day International history to do so.[7] Ravi Shastri and Sir Garfield Sobers had previously achieved this feat in first-class cricket but to date no player has achieved this in Test Cricket. In doing so,[9] His six hitting form continued throughout the tournament and when he hit Jacob Oram into the stands during a Super Eight match he drew level with Ricky Ponting on 28 for most sixes in World Cup history.[10] Gibbs played for Glamorgan in the 2008 County Twenty20 tournament where he had a successful time; his highest score being 98 off just 52 balls in a losing game against Northants.[11] He then signed up to play for Glamorgan for the 2009 County season, replacing Mark Cosgrove as the overseas player at the end of June.[12] He also represented Glamorgan in two NatWest Pro40 League matches in that same season.[13] Gibbs then signed for Yorkshire Carnegie for the 2010 Friends Provident t20 tournament, where he was their overseas player, scoring 101 from 53 balls against Northamptonshire to achieve his first century in English T20 cricket.
