agood game but for those lousy otago so called fans booing the boys when the game finished, thats y since then rugby in otago is a fail !! hope u guys dont get anymore premium matches like this downthere cos u dont deserve it !
That's one of my favorite teams cully is my favorite player , the only changes I would make would be tana umaga in centre(even though he was a wing back then) and Jonah in for osbourne, Michael jones in for taine randell , boom
This guy was a pure freak of nature. Lomu was a freak too, but he had the size. This guy was half Jonah's size, but still scored tries that took your breath away.
Greatest Players to ever grace the Field. hands down.. Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen. feared throughout the world, unbelievable talent. Great athletes. i'd say the next great player, if he'd stayed off the kava, was Rupeni Caucau....... man, what a sight he was... Shane Williams... ugh, debatable. speed to boot... but that was about it. given the space he could make magic. Lomu and Cullen.. made their own space. no arguement.
There is no player in history that would have been able to score from that position, except Cullen (maybe Caucau). Sheer individual brilliance. Cullen was an absolute superstar.
@MikeandJayne1 Too small, he was good but don't think he was on cullen, lomu or jeff wilson's level doubt he would have made the All Blacks starting team, don't mean to sound like an arrogant kiwi
Cullen, Serge, JPR, Irvine all awesome...., Joubert and Hastings were similar, very tidy, big and effective, but can't do what Cully can. John Gallagher was a classic fullback in his time too.
Look at Cullen when he hits the 22m line. His ability to swerve/step left and right while at full pace is amazing. He makes the defender look retarded/ One of the reasons why he was so good. Definitely the best NZ fullback ever.
my cousin nearly scored a try like that in barefeet playing up north...he ran into the post though...he was stoned...o...and there was no final line of defense...besides the goal post...GO THE MIGHTY DARGAVILLE HORRYS SOCIAL TEAM!
I am, but that doesn't change the fact that Irvine was also one of the greatest fullbacks of all time, with his blistering pace defenders were watching him even when he didn't have the ball.
LOL, you're having a laugh mate. Hastings was a slow scottish bottler who missed a penalty my cat could have kicked to get to the world cup final. To even mention him in the same breath as the true greats is an abomination to rugby.
JPR, Latham, Fox, Botica, just four more off the top of my head who were far superior.
This guy was pure rugby genius. Some of the tries he scored were beyond comprehension, with this one probably the best of the lot.

Cullen and Wilson - two greats. Shame New Zealand need to poach ringers from the islands in their back three these days.
gulf177 2 years ago
You don't know what you're talking about.
You obviously have to be a New Zealander to play for the All Blacks. These guys live and play in NZ, that's why they are chosen for the All Blacks.
Should we deport them or what ? Now that would be racist wouldn't it ??

Oh it's between him, Blanco, Hastings and Irvine. They were all so good, you just can't choose. Cullen was a superstar though, unbelievable.
Bucketheadhead 2 years ago
not scottish by any chance are you?? no full back north of the border has ever been good enough to even lace Cullen's boots.
Blanco is closer but from a different era.
Cullen just had it all and is the greatest.
