Rugby World Cup 1999 - Semi Final - New Zealand v France

[Wolfoxfr22]

Math légendaire pour un stade légendaire qu'est Twickenham.

Comme quoi, lorsque les Anglais chantent la Marseillaise, les Français peuvent tout réaliser.

I understand people are upset about this spear tackle yet spear tackles only resulted in a red card and made illegal AFTER this event, there for it wasnt "cheating" yet an unnecessary tackle. England, Wales and Ireland have all had incidents similar to this one. New Zealand has consistently been in the top 3 best teams in the world, won 2 world cups and 11 trie nations yet you call them professional cheaters? The country has a passion for this sport so if there good at it, yet dont pissed off.

The All Blacks are consistently good, yet never amaze

Les Bleus are inconsistently astounding

[batamist]

Fantastic French !

Fantastic Jonah Lomu, and good recovery for him...

[juanleiden]

i remember seeing this match, what a game

[repulic5]

i reall hope we lose (NEW ZEALAND) if we win it will be like "omfg "we won ya take that you redneck fuck heads or yeah!!take that ya snail eaters!" seriously its stupid and annoying how my country and government only gives a fuck about rugby and the world cup..just to porve that we are not "un-civilised"

who gives a fuck? we have better things to care about like how hard it is to get jobs or taxes and gst.

[vamplvers1]

no one will ever match the Allblacks you've got to see that, you look at jonah lomu and the other players just type them in on youtube it's amazing how great they were during there time no-one will ever match the talented allblacks.

[newromantic888]

Maybe on Sunday. Maybe this is your time.

[charlie2434]

I can't believe France couldn't go on to finish it. :(

[TheForge10]

@charlie2434 France demolished in the final , what a way to pay back the fans. Just like 2007.

[szemefa]

great Lamaison, great work in rucks and great speed of Dominici and Bernat-Salle, wonderfull test

[Alvie5]

Brilliant come back by the French in the second half. If they can reproduce a much better game plan like this again they'll surely win next sunday. Para is like the first-five eight back then. All they need now is a better attacking backs like Dominici.

2011 France had a struggle in pool play but still have made it to the final. Kiwis think that it will be an easy win for the All Blacks. I hope the French will correct that, so come on France one more strive to be on top. All the Best.

[GuyGrindlay]

Come on France for Sunday!! NZ are so SO arrogant, I really dislike them with a passion.

[MrGuiCube]

@GuyGrindlay Haha, an English man who support my country.. It's rare ;). But, even if I french, I respect AB for their beautiful rugby. Rugby, it's fight, it's passes, tries, tears and laughs. But Rugby, it's also Respect for the others. Hope for a beautiful match sundy. I want french flair. Althought Blacks deserve to win. ALLEZ LES BLEUS !

[guser1614]

@GuyGrindlay Not this time.

[glup2glup]

1999. My god! it's so far!

Hope the french play like this next sunday!!!!!!!!!

[dbor009]

33 unanswered points.... rediculous.

[Tehui1974]

It was good seeing France upset England at RWC 2011. Time to share the love.

[Heroncle]

Concerning the french supporter hugging Lomu after the match, You have to know that Lomu is very popular in France.

The All Blacks team is very popular here and it is one of the teams, when not playing against her, we love to support (with Scotland that have the most appreciated public in... third mid-time).

[rawschri]

Big shift in attitude to the all-blacks since the O'Driscoll incident, on the last Lions tour, in the 5 Nations....before then were respected and highly regarded amongst all my rugby mates going back 30 years..now...all of them want to see their organised thuggery and cheating tactics rewarded with defeat....

[AcidSkiffle1988]

@rawschri You're right.Lost loads of respect for them ever since.Professional cheaters.

[nukm4]

@AcidSkiffle1988 Be MORE butthurt.



[AcidSkiffle1988]

@nukm4 You what?

[Kenmorfdublin]

@AcidSkiffle1988 Like I just stated - I'm Irish and I totally disagree, O'Driscoll disrespected the AB's during their sacrosanct Haka and while what they did was wrong by spearing him in revenge, you can't extrapolate from that isolated incident that they are cheats and thugs.

[AcidSkiffle1988]

@Kenmorfdublin How did he disrespect the Haka?And it's not only that incident which has caused me to dislike them.They constantly bend the rules during play and don't get penalised because of who they are.

[MonseigneurKramps]

@rawschri Hello I am French and I thing I missed the episode you're talking about.

Cheating tactics the blacks ? Please tell me about. Best.

[MrGuiCube]

@MonseigneurKramps J'ai vu ton commentaire donc je me suis senti obligé d'y répondre. Le lien est en anglais mais c'est facilement compréhensible, d'autant plus qu'il n'y a pas vraiment besoin de parler l'anglais pour comprendre =/.

A copier coller après l'adresse internet de youtube.

[MonseigneurKramps]

@MrGuiCube Merci ! je regarde ça.

[etwan001]

@rawschri Is their anybody or any team which doesn't cheat in rugby?? I don't think so.

[TheForge10]

@rawschri Hmmm like France and the Boks , who have Botha , the biggest thug in the game. Get a grip a-hole.

[templepilot666]

@rawschri organised thuggery and cheating tactics? get a grip mate pay your respects to the greatest rugby team on the planet and submit to the fact that no team will ever match the All Blacks.

[Kenmorfdublin]

@rawschri I'm Irish and I totally disagree, O'Driscoll disrespected the AB's during their sacrosanct Haka and while what they did was wrong by spearing him in revenge, you can't extrapolate from that isolated incident that they are cheats and thugs.

[djeremybolton]

I forgot how ridiculous Lomu's hair was. Look at that silly tuft on top of his noggin!

[BiffScooter1]

Great pic quality and well edited hilites. Plus anytime the All Blands choke another World Cup away is a great day for rugby.

[MrJoeCarney]

Fearless French bastard running on at the end and hugging Lomu!

[GordyJosie]

good video thanks for posting

[EmceeKayR]

lets hope something like this doesn't happen down at Eden Park, ugh

[pucklusti10]

24-10 new zealand at one point... how do they lose this match!? and a shame Lomu did not get a winners medal in his career
