I get it, the guy is a legendary player from a long-gone era, but why are we writing articles based on nothing more than the passing observations of an old man. Wait, i know why...
I genuinely don't know the "why" you are getting at?

Kirky's view on loosies:
When I saw this post, and that it was from Kirkpatrick who I've never seen anything from in 40 years since he finished playing (was he a selector in the 80s? I think he may have been assistant coach on the Cavaliers tour). It made me wonder what position is the most different and most similar now to 30/40 years ago.
Most similar = halfback. Only real difference is more a rugby league style dummy half role for every 10 phases before a proper rugby union style halfback skillset is required.
Most different = Loose forward. No more ruck chasing and support running and late hits on the first-five. Now it is pods, zones, dominant tackles, pretend jackaling, cleanouts.

@rapido I think Kirky used to do comments for TV3 rugby shows.
OK, cheers.
I didn't watch them. I had a few years 'off rugby' in the mid 2000s, and a few years overseas.
I had some years off rugby too, from 1998-2002.... and so did the ABs
I’ll be here all week

pity you did that, the Crusaders had a decent little run in that period, you would have loved it

I Have broken a ceiling fan leaping out of my chair in excitement when the ABs scored one time, also woke a sleeping child, so I became doubly popular that night!

Extended 70s highlights, including the Kirky try. When Lawrie Knight scored the last one my dad exploded out of the armchair and took out a low hanging chandelier!
Not sure I saw the video you said you posted. No Kirky nor Knight.
Some pretty good tries I. That lot though.
One or two (only) I didn't remember...
