I'm from NZ and remember being 14 at a family friend's house down the road when the first test was playing. My parent's and people from around the whole street (it was a cul-de-sac where everyone knew each other and had parties often) were watching the game in the kitchen/family room with a TV there, while drinking etc. I sat in their lounge nearby alone, on a nice fancy couch with big plamsa TV (these people were fairly well off) and had the time of my life watching the game. I had never really been into rugby before, but I pretty much watched the whole Lions Tour of 2005 at their place, and at home in my room when they didn't host that night. I'm not a massive rugby fan, and don't know all that much about the game and it's players and history etc, but I know I sure loved watching this back then.
Looking back really enjoyed this test despite being a massive Lions fan. DC’s performance was sublime. Simply the best number 10 performance I’ve seen in my life time. Hats off to him for that. Also, happy I got to see another sublime performance of DC’s live and in the flesh; this time his last appearance in an AB shirt. What redemption after missing the last World Cup final.
I was there. Dan Carter was superb. Not just in this game but the whole year tbh. The 2005 All blacks were very good. But I always remember Scott Johnson saying they had hit peak form 2 years early. And he was correct 😂👍
The argument of Carter vs. Wilkinson as the GOAT 1st five. Carter with the best NZ'rs in his team vs. Wilkinson with the best Northern Hemisphere players in his team. AB's win. Pretty straight forward answer not to mention the IRB player of the year and player records achieved
I believe Dan Carter is better although Wilko was just coming back from massive injuries and was even a controversial choice for the lions at the time. A peak Wilko however is a lot closer to Carter imo he was a machine.
really? Carter/ Barrett, Mccaw/ Cane, Woodcock/ Moody, Gear/Savea seems more inclined to old all blacks. Cant use improved nutrition/fitness as an argument as well.
Isaac Tearii i want to see this team vs the 2015 all black team..this team is alot stronger then the 2015 team i thou this was the best team since they beat the lion on this 2005 tour..it will be an epic game
@@user-up3vh9um2g mate it's been 4 years, 2015 All Blacks is the best rugby team I've ever seen in my life. Only team with as much talent is the 2009 Springboks
How come Brian O'Driscoll wasn't playing? I'm joking haha he was farked up People moaning about "it would've been different if BOD was there" Mate I don't care if you had Bruce Chuck Norris Lee in your team that night, nothing was gonna stop DC GOAT
Yea exactly right. The guy who replaced him (Gareth Thomas) was one of their best players for the rest of the series so it isn't like they missed much by not having BoD. The worst problem they had was Johnny Wilkenson is hugely over rated. Can kick but that's about it. They should have started Stephen Jones or Ronan OGara in every game. And also that their forward pack gave away too many penalties.
yes Gareth Thomas was impressive even out of position, and as you said a lot of the (should-have-been) key players were underwhelming. Looking forward to this series, will be a lot closer I think!
In the history of Lions Rugby this was there worse defeat. Absolute slaughtered. Loved the fast pace nature of this series and less stoppages like you see today. This was Era of proper Rugby
SensibleHare Its best you stay humble until someone actually wins the series. As a proud NZer Im glad someone has beaten us? It gets a little boring to watch. Too bad it takes the best of 4 teams to beat 1 team though. Ready for the All Blacks to wreck havoc in game 3
30 minutes in the lions were in it but their fitness just couldn't match a young dominant and peaking all blacks forward unit. Carter, Umaga and Sivivatu just did the rest - the forwards were seasoned and worn out, Shane Williams was a defensive liability and Wilkinson and Lewsey looked like they weren't 100% fit and nursing injuries
The greatest individual performance I've ever seen.
agree 100%
You're* Agreed.
Either that or lomu vs England
Wrong it's his best performance 😉

Mils one of the most underrated players ever man. Top3 All Blacks fullback
DC's pace so underrated. At 7:03 he just goes through 2 gears and slides past everyone else without breaking stride
Dan "The Man" Carter.What a night for him.And looking at the 2 teams,what a gathering of great players.
it is so good to be able to watch these video's time & time again. Wonderful.

Magic....
What a team. Will go down as one of the greats

Absolutely peak level Dan Carter
Great performance by DC - but that try from The GOAT @ 9:15m... So strong!
Greatest All Black Haka of all time and one of the best performances you will see! 👍
Charl Herman ok disagree with the Haka bit, but yeh outstanding performance
Young boy McCaw there with only his 4th try - they could already tell he was gonna be great!
Wow. What a performance. Thanks for the upload.
Amazing what 10 yrs does. Current All Blacks would cream the old all blacks
gaz south truuuuu

Why wasn't Umanga and Mealamu' red carded for spear tackle ! ruclips.net/video/OsXJyDHFKn0/видео.html
Carter 1598 (2 WCs), Wilkinson 1246 (1WC)...'nuf said
KiwiShamoo Wilkinson mossed half his career through injury. Give carter Jonny’s injuries he wouldn’t have reached 1000
DC is definitely the best 10 ever, but not sure why its a competition. Wilkinson is massively underrated in NZ, he was a great 10
@Agent Black Carter's not the best 10 ever? Gotta disagree on that, I'd definitely say he was the best

Dan fucking Carter the GOAT
17 years later..hit like if ur here too after
17 years
18
This game was played with such intensity which I do not think we will see this year, ample penalties both ways, nothing malicious though.
What a game. Lions vs Dan Carter lol
Kiwis all seem to be a bit quiet now!! Series level with a great final game to come!
SensibleHare Its best you stay humble until someone actually wins the series. As a proud NZer Im glad someone has beaten us? It gets a little boring to watch. Too bad it takes the best of 4 teams to beat 1 team though. Ready for the All Blacks to wreck havoc in game 3
Well both of u were wrong
Daniel Carters best game ever. And it had to be in my Hometown of Wellington
Carter!!! the GOAT
ALL BLACKS ARE BEST OF THE BEST 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
This is the haka I like!
Dan magic
Wilkinson???? Ordinary. Carter.......exemplary
That’s what you get when you disrespect the haka
Who said Wilkinson was better than Carter?? Lmao
Lions didn't help themselves by having cart horses like Corry and Stephen Jones.

Carter, Umaga and Sivivatu just did the rest - the forwards were seasoned and worn out, Shane Williams was a defensive liability and Wilkinson and Lewsey looked like they weren't 100% fit and nursing injuries
Wilkinson who?
Yea he was so over rated.
They could have started Stephen Jones or Ronan O'Gara instead who were both better players than him.
+Ben A
That seems like quite a stretch.
Does it?
The Lions side was biased towards the English and Wilkinson was not as good as English people think.
Monish Kumar he went onto the tour unfit and injured - also behind a weaker pack - not disputing Carter was definitely a better 10
Wilkinson the guy who beat nz in 2002 & the summer in 2003 & went to win the world cup later in the year , that's who bitch
5:50
Typical Fijian celebration 😂😂😂
fark i miss Mexstead
why????????????????????? he was a terrible comentator
If you only show 10 minutes, did you really have to include the bloody Haka as well ? But good to remember how good Wilkinson was in his prime.
Bob Watson bruh
Wasn't that good bloody over rated from you lot
Ritchie and d.c should had retired after the lions series.. it would been the best send off for the legends and series win..
Caitline Gibson tf r u on, they went on to win 2 world cups

the world's best number 10 vs the world's most overrated number 10
I wouldn't call Carter the world's most overrated 10.
Neither would I, which is why the world's best 10 wa s wearing black, and the other one, whatshisname? wore red or white .
@@markv2596 Carter is the best IMO but Wilkinson is great and if you think otherwise you are just a typical NZ fanboy with no brains
Got that right bro
