Will never forget it, and I had an amazing seat right in the middle of the ground and only 8 rows back. I traveled from New Zealand to watch my country and they didn't let me down.
@4054613 your wrong, your just plain wrong, that was clearly backwards, not a flat pass, not a forward pass, it went backwards as in towards the teams own dead ball line
Everyone enjoys a close game with extreme atheletes going toe to toe. I remember watching this at a bar in Wellington, everyone even the Aussies were just amazed at the spectacle which unfolded in 80 minutes of Rugby. The week after it was 85 minutes which was the only reason they won at Wellington. Not sore just saying..
What a match, I had the most phenomenal opportunity to ball boy this game. It was so terrifying. you can see when they are singing the anthems my knees are shaking. I have been looking to get a full copy of this, does anyone know where I can get it?
people say this is "Rugby came down to earth" the best match ever, a high scorring game great players (including my uncle Pita) nothing will beat this
This game was called"The Game made in Heaven"It should have been a draw(and I'm a Kiwi)NZ got out to a fast 20point lead.
the scores were even at half time.Best Game Ever.Tony Johnstons the best I reckon,but I do miss Gordon Bray-heaps better than the clowns they're using for the Super14.JohnEales-sheeeeeeeiiittttt...not again...Best Aussie Captain Ever.They call him Nobody----because Nobody's Perfect.
League? Pfft boring as, its so predictable. 5 tackles then kick it, 5 tackles then kick it, 5 tackles then kick it, a break and try, 5 tackles kick it, 5 tackles then kick it, a break and try. That is a League game, if ever there's a kick: "oh my god, its an innovation". You can't even fight for the ball, after a tackle you politely get of the player and allow him to give it to his team mates so they have another chance. Then after 6 tackles you must hand over the ball to the other team.
What a great game this was. Grant Nisbett as a commentator makes it even better. I don't think there are any better, possibly Gordon Bray (Australia) or Hugh Bladen (South Africa) maybe?
as much as i hate losing to the kiwis......... this was the best ever game of rugby and deserved to be a world cup final match!! thnx for the memories!! (bloody kiwis!!! :(...) hah
That was the most exciting game I've seen - even though we lost in the last minute, everybody at school the Monday after was still raving avout how good the game was. That whole tournament was compelling viewing throughout!
Bledisloe Cup = best sporting contest in the world!
Gotta love the excitement of the Kiwi commentary as well.
Aye Nz R The Best in the world at rugby, i mean we recently won the tri nations and bledislo cup, and we just recently 1 that tournament overseas. so who ever Says NZ Suck it this can suck my sick. ALLBLACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey sc0ttyboy fuk you man dont be jelous just cause australia cant beat allblack no more and that the kiwi's won the worldcup hahahha what happened in 2008 it was all newzealand shame on you and who's laughing its us kiwi's mate hahahhahhahahhahahhah so ur laughing at yur self dick
New Zealand choked at the 2008 World Cup and rugby is all that u have in New Zealand and when that goes wrong you all have a tantrum. But Aussies we have everything ha!! SUKED IN U LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND
bro you can talk oz choked against england and it was 2007.Rugby is all we have narr league bro world champs, A1GP currently rankd higher then u guys indy car scott dixon who was born in oz i know but who says hes kiwi but hes claimd like u guys claim russell crowe.
dont be gay new zealand is know for rugby union. but not rugby league and not cricket, and not swimmming. even though the silver ferns are ranked 2nd i recon they are equal to the australian team.
I agree with both previous comments - I'm an Aussie supporter through and through, but was strangely content at the end of that game..... I'd been sitting on the edge of the seat for the whole 2nd half....

@4054613 how is it forward if the ball goes back
kkiwiboyy 10 months ago
@kkiwiboyy oh you misunderstand. the ball goes forwrd, hence it is a forward pass. Do you not know the rules. here:
Law 13 : THROW FORWARD
A throw forward occurs when a player throws or passes the ball forward. ‘Forward’ means towards the opposing team’s dead ball line.
Hope this clears things up
4054613 10 months ago
@4054613 good to see your brain works, cause your eyes clearly don't. it wasn't a forward pass, that was my point. line ball at best.
