the black ferns are the most dominant female team - they may be third at the moment but they have won 35 of the 56 tournament contested and like the male team are a formidable force
Exactly. The Blackferns have a shorter history than the men but proportionally they out perform the men’s team in almost every statistic in world championship win/loss/draw outcomes. The domination of the women’s team in their discipline is so all pervasive it beggars belief they don’t receive half of the financial support as their male counterparts. As for the bums on seats argument male vs female - the last women’s Rugby World Cup was proof that their audience is on a par with the men’s game internationally.
@@1Ma9iN8tive not sure why you've made this a men vs women thing. The Black Ferns are a dominant force and are so talented WITHIN their league. Don't sit there and try to say they out perform the All Blacks because that is just lunacy, it might be the same sport but its a completely different game. They also do not bring anywhere close to the numbers consistently that the mens league does. It is improving which is amazing, as this will steadily start increasing what they get paid.
as a 57 yr old male from nz that started watching our ferns play a few years ago i can only say if you want to see a fast game with big hits great breakaways more exspansive rugby and a mix of baeutiful mixed with tough our wahine are the ones to watch all our womens teams are fantastic but they need more support from nz as a nation so cmon give them loads more funding more air time and more support im sure with all of this you will not see something great but something amazing
Im not they force sports down your throat from a young age, parents abuse you during the game, coaches have mental meltdown when thing dont go their way, its a joke beside 30 grow men running after a ball is pretty gay
@@joelharding3312 Isn't man on man as masculine as you could get? Weird that you'd bring up 'gay' when no one else was thinking of it. Maybe something to learn here?
That's a rich man's sport run by billionaire playboys - rugby is the everyman sport played by blue collar to middle class and white collar citizens alike in NZ
Yeah I remember in primary school the girls would play along with boys but all the boys never tackled the girls, just touched us on the shoulder or back but they’d always tackle each other.
i played in the hutt valley in the early 90s from age 5 before ripper was invented and we still didn't play full-contact til we were about 8, we basically played touch but you had to touch them on both hips with both hands like a simulated tackle and the ref would yell "touch" if the kid who got touched didn't stop and pass, also the scrum had only 3 members per side and they didn't push
The reason why the All Blacks received their name, wasn’t due to the Jersey colour (it wasn’t originally black), but due to a UK newspaper misprint, that was meant to say that the team played like ‘All Backs’ (ie: fast and skillful). The name stuck, apparently.
No. The name All Blacks existed before the 1905 UK and world tour and was used by the newspaper report of the very first match of that tour. After NZ beat Devon 55-4, the local newspaper wrote: "The All Blacks, as they are styled by reason of their sable and unrelieved costume… etc". In other words, NZ wore an all black uniform and that was their name's origin. The "all backs" story has long been discredited and there has never been a newspaper report found that matches that myth, and it would have been too late anyway.
I really really love how innocent you are and how humble you are too as you comment of a sport and country you knew little about. New Zealand really is the flag bearer to the world of dominant rugby and the flare to make rugby innovative and appealing to the world Thank you and I'll subscribe to your channel
Chur 2tha fukn Chur, New Zealand All day, Jonah Lomu, Tana Umanga, Dan Carter the list goes on from the Legacies, to the Legends, to the champs from the Generation of All black players here at home. Proud to be a Kiwi
What must also be remembered is the earlier All Blacks were all working men, they were not classified as professionals as they are with today's All Blacks, nor were they paid or compensated as the All Blacks of today. The diversity of available sports has changed the input to rugby. In my G.Grandad's and Grandad's Day, there were only 2 options of winter sports, rugby, more rugby and soccer (football), girls did not play men's sports, so there is a decrease on entrants, but the pool the selectors now raw from are already the cream of the crop. The All Blacks are the best and any loss is considered as a learning experience not a pity party, albeit us supporters take a loss to heart, well we all do in reality, but move on and learn.
Yep professionalism is killing our game our top players disappear overseas for the money Nz too small don’t the money to pay our top players. Worst thing that could of happened
Pre 1995, South Africa was ahead of NZ in the win lose/stats between the two, NZ overtook them in 1996. The Springboks of old were a great running team, but afterwards began kicking away possession, probably because Naas Botha was great at kicking.
SA only won that final by 1 point even after all that help from the ref fe couldn't even score a single try against the abs in a rugby final Plus the only country that has had actually defended their title well is the All blacks. Sure SA has 1 more wc than New Zealand for now but they never have a rein of absolute dominance in the 4 years between world cups like the Abs have. That's just the hard facts saffas choose to ignore to make yourselves feel better about living in the shadows of the abs for the last 100 years
Your post is wrought with errors? *CORRECTIONS:* a) Whether you win by 1 point or 10 points - a win is a win. (if your team has 1 point less after the final whistle blows, you *L O S E* the game - points difference doesn't give you a consolation prize?) b) In 2019 the Springboks won the RWC *AND* in 2023 they won it *A G A I N* - they call this *_defending_* one's title?
I love NZ rugby, but it's lack of humility that often costs them...playoff rugby is not suited to NZ, trying to play expansive games when the other team respects the scoreboard is what cost U 2X finals against South Africa, losing to France in semis on 2 occasions because you can't read the feel of a game.
@samgreer8274 greatest in overall wins, sure, let's grant that. South Africa have 3 out of 5 of the last world cups, so who has the "greater" RWC record, cos it's not NZ
Also highly recommend watching "Richie McCaw: Chasing Great". Inspirational stuff. Man captained (and won) the 2011 RWC Final with a broken foot, in secret.
New Zealand's Rugby culture is the biggest reason. We have babies and toddlers running around with a rugby ball. All NZ kids at some point, are playing Rugby in some form ... Union, League, Rippa, Touch, etc. That's why they call it GRASS ROOTS RUGBY. You'd be far stretched to find any born and bred Kiwi who has NEVER played some Rugby. It's the Country's number 1 game. So the type of play that the All Blacks is famous for (running the ball, trick passes, smart plays, quick phases of play, etc) and the rest of the World are in awe of ... is something that's instinctive to most Kiwis. Also, you don't NEED a bunch of money to play a casual game of Rugby. Pfft ... we used to play it in a backyard with a shoe (someone lost our ball). Hell ... one time we played it at High School in our quad ... a concrete area. Dumbest thing we ever need. Everyone lost some skin that day. These are the mistakes that a lot of the big Countries (especially the Northern Hemisphere) overlook. They think they can dominate Rugby because their population is a hundred times more and they have multi MILLIONS of dollars to spend. In those Countries, Rugby is NOT the number 1 sport. For example, the Rugby Nations in the Northern hemisphere have BILLIONS to spend on their Rugby, their Clubs, their players, their franchises, etc. Yet for all their wealth, the Rugby World Cup has only gone to the Northern Hemisphere ONCE ever.
we start playing tackle at around 6-8 years old, we call high schools high school most of the time unless they're fancier then they typically get called colleges
One issue in many smaller centers of New Zealand is where schools leavers from the age of 16, have nowhere to play. Often, there aren't competitions that cater for U18 and U20/21 and the step up to mens grades are too great. As a result,we're losing too many from the sport.
I really liked this video. As you know now, we do have a female team, and they are formidable! Our women's Rugby Sevens team just won Gold at this year's Olympics! Yessss!🤩👏 And despite what some people are saying in the comments, our equivalent to American High Schools is either called a High School or a College but are basically the same thing. Wellington, the NZ capital, has 1 Highschool and 12 Colleges altogether, including RONGOTAI, one of the schools in the 2015 All Blacks team photo (13:52). 'FRANCIS DOUGLAS' is short for Francis Douglas Memorial College, so yeah, we have both. I don't know why, we just do, and you can just about guarantee that they'll have a First XV - a team of the best 15 rugby players that represent the school at tournaments, the same way the All Blacks First XV, represent New Zealand.
Some background info about rugby: - Rugby Union only went professional in 1995. Before that it was an amateur game. - The first rugby world cup was in 1987. - Before that national teams would 'tour' in the summer. Before international flights this meant sailing to the other side of the world which took weeks and these tours would last several months staring with local teams and then finishing in a series of International Tests against the home nations international team. The most famous Touring side are the British & Irish Lions. The Lions are made up of the best players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Every 4 years they tour either South Africa, New Zealand or Australia. The next tour is in 2025 to Australia. Many players rate playing in a Lions Test series as the high point of their career, even above the world cup. For the British and Irish players this is because: - The history of the Lions and the prestige of being a British Lion. Especially those that win a test series. - It only happens ever 4 years. - To get into the squad, let alone the test team you have to be the best not just in your own country, but out of all the home nations. - All the advantages are with the home team. The Lions are a scratch team of talented players who only have a short time to develop a style of play and get to know each other, playing away against one of the best sides in the world, who in contrast have had years to develop their playing style and become familiar with their team mates. - All the above mean winning a Test serise is the ultimate challenge for British and Irish players, arguably tougher than winning a World Cup. For the Spring Boks, All Blacks and Aussies it's equally as big a deal because: - The history of the Lions and the rivalry with their mother country. - For them a Lions test series only happens once every 12 years, usually just once in their career. Lions tours are at least as big a deal as the World Cup and have a much longer history. Two legendary Lions tours are the 1971 Lions tour to NZ and the 1974 Lions tour of SA. There's a brilliant documentary on the latter here: ruclips.net/video/OqE8GH4IMK0/видео.html Another very good documentary series is 'Living with the Lions' from the 1997 tour to SA. ruclips.net/video/35gk6PX1-0U/видео.html The 2009 Second test vs the Spring Boks is famous for being perhaps the hardest match since the game went professional and so full on that many of the players ended up being taken to hospital afterwards: ruclips.net/video/_4AahrwjOmM/видео.html
School Rugby matches get... chaotic pretty fast. Not the game itself mind, but the schools, it gets passionate. Fights even break out cause of it depending on the schools playing, and if they're rivals or not. Also it's not like we're intentionally making larger pools of talent by getting children into it ASAP, most kids actually want to play, it's just a really big sport for us here, literally akin to Americans with the NFL
Thats because NZ are warriors 💯 Be very hard to find a family here that doesnt own a rugby ball! We have played rugby on the field, at the park, neighbors & yep even on the street.
Ok. I’m English. The respect we have for the All Blacks is tremendous. The Haka! I’ve seen it live and it is electrifying. I think it gives them a 10 point advantage. And quite rightly. I think what I love so much about them is that the Māoris are such a beautiful people and their customs are beautiful. They deserve every accolade given to them. England is playing the All Blacks today 😬😬😬. We don’t expect to win. But we will give it a good go. Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed it. ❤
Women's rugby has sky rocketed in the last 5 or 6 years from being of casual interest to some to being a highly entertaining, high skill level professional sport with significant interest among all rugby fans.
However currently only the major countries have fully professional women's teams. Those of the smaller nations are semi-pro or amateur at present. More women's national teams need to go professional to keep matches competitive.
One of the top gal's is an old friend, I saw her on the news a few months back. A reporter tried some kind of strange gotcha or a poking for a political take, she freaking shot them down while being normal and humble and man it hit me right in the feel's. Not only did they just have a huge win, but she also shot down some stupid media person who did not care if there fishing for a sound byte or what ever they where doing that could have made her and the team look bad.
as a kiwi i will say we have donimated for a long time during 2014+ ish all black roster, but south africa has always been a formitable opponent, 1. NZ, 2. S.A, 3. England is my personal list
The Haka was a war cry imagine hearing that coming towards you. It is amazing to watch and listen. We have the Black Ferns who are an amazing team of ladies.
There’s a book called “Legacy” by James Kerr. It’s a super relatable read & takes you into the culture of an All Black Team. P.S. Love your work, your humility is heartfelt.
The worst coach in ABs history was the reason for our decline over the last 4 years. Ian Foster’s remarkable records: 1. First loss vs Argentina - 2020 2. First loss vs Argentina in NZ - 2022 3. First loss vs Ireland in NZ - 2022 4. First series loss vs Ireland in history. 5. First series loss since 1994. 6. Record loss in NZ history (vs South Africa) - 2023 7. First loss in a RWC pool match (v France) - 2023 8. Worst ever loss in South Africa (10-26) - 2022 9. First time the All Blacks have lost two tests in a row by +13 points.
@@MickalNaps yeah, he was handed the job after being an assistant/friend to former coaches for years. Now we have Scott Robertson, who many had wanted to have the job in the first place. He led the Crusaders to a record 7 straight Super Rugby championships before taking the job.
As a New Zealander, the drop is kind of a double edged sword. Less people are playing Rugby, due to the rise in other sports. Before, Rugby, Netball and Soccer might have been your only options as an athlete. But, now people are getting to pursue what they are actually passionate about; especially with MMA getting more popular and there being heaps of Muay Thai and BJJ gyms opening up
I don't know much about sport. But at my High school (we do call them that not colleges in NZ) we didn't have a female rugby team since most weren't interested in that sport and went more towards lacrosse, basketball and netball.
1:09 pretty much but the other countries on the map absolutely deserve there place in the top 10. But ya know,...rugby is kinda our thing here its literally a part of our culture
I really liked it, I know the male commentator Tony he’s a really smart guy and I have a close friend whos Dad was an All Black and her great grandfather was in the Invincibles, her father got a scholarship to kings College from. Taranaki and that is how a lot of the private schools do it, they create scholarships for young players to come from the farming regional areas to play for their first 15 and that’s why they end up with 5 schools dominating in Auckland one is a public school but in the richest zone Auckland Grammar School, Kings College, St Kentigerns, Sacred Heart, and Wesley College I think are the group mainly. I used to raise money professionally at one of the schools and the old boys will sponsor students out of zone all the time.
It was invented after a guy called William Webb Ellis got frustrated in a soccer match and grabbed the ball and started running. That's why the rugby world cup is still named The William Webb Ellis cup .
That's a long discredited myth. Handling the ball was part of football at Rugby School for decades before the English Football Association (where soccer comes from) was formed in 1863. There is no evidence that Ellis played any special part in the increasing popularity of running with the ball, which was legal but discouraged. The style became more popular at Rugby in the 1830s, long after Ellis had left. The World Cup was named in line with the myth, but no serious rugby historian accepts the story.
I'm from New Zealand, awesome vid bro, all blacks are good but look up the crusaders they're from the level below all black here but the dominant team within NZ
The Aus vs Nz comparison overlooks some massive facts. There are two types of rugby, Rugby Union and Rugby League. This video only looks at Rugby League. In Aus, Rugby League is the dominant sport, like 3-4 times the size of Rugby Union by participant numbers, and strangely enough the Aus have a dominant record against Nz in that. Add to that the fact Australian Rules Football is far more popular than both rugby codes, and draws a lot of the athletic talent, and you start to get a picture of why Nz typically beats Aus in Rugby. It kind of like comparing Brazil to USA in soccer.
I like the style - also NZ All Blacks will climb again but as always that takes time (It certainly doesn't help that we've put our players all over the world in the Win / Loss stats but now we are having to figure out ways to be even better than we were when we won ALL the time ... something of a healthy thing I suggest.) Although it may not seam like it the new coach is actually a good thing - Fozzy needed to step back and look at another route but just couldn't - NEXT WORLD CUP IS Razor's!!!! (as he is affectionately known)
The All Blacks play Fiji in San Diego this Friday 19 July @ 7.30pm. The Fijians also have a war dance, and are some of the most exciting speed-giants to play the game - they dominate Rugby 7s. Check it out if you can! There's also Major League Rugby, and the 2031 Rugby World Cup will be held in the USA.
Wtf just recognised the dude holding the ball at 9:51 he lived in my dorm in first year uni. Pretty sure he basically went to play rugby and bridge into the pro scene.
In New Zealand Rugby is big because it is a past time as well as a sport & it is common for a group of people to play a game at social events but there have been players that are legends if not Gods in the sport that kids inspire to be, for me it was Sir Colin Meads (Sir is an official title for being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to rugby.) & he is well worth looking up as a reaction video as is another NZ legendary player Jonah Lomu.
MBEs never came with a 'Sir" title ie they weren't/aren't knighthoods - you're simply styled you name followed by the letters, like John Smith MBE. Meads got the knighthood because he got a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit -CNZM, from 2001 (30 yrs after got the MBE) and when the Key govt brought back knighthoods in 2009 he was eligible to get it converted to a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit KNZM which he opted to take but he didn't have to. Always love when people rush to tell about titles and they have pretty zero knowledge about actual facts.
@@MickalNaps They are called the *SPRINGBOKS* and have won more *Rugby World Cups* than the *All Blacks* in less tournaments too! *Springboks* played 8 tournaments; won 4 RWC's (50% success rate) 1995, 2007, 2019 & 2023 *All Blacks* played 10 tournaments; won 3 RWC's (30% success rate) 1987, 2011, 2015 (Had Springboks played in the 1987 and the 1991 tournaments, they'd have one at least one of them too) The All Blacks have also lost 2 RWC finals against the Springboks - 1995 & 2023.
The commentary has at least one error. The term “test match” or just “Test” (quite often capitalised) refers to matches between two countries (i.e. NZ v say Wales, or England - teams made up of players from many different clubs). The “Invincibles” tour of 1924-25 comprised 32 matches but 28 of these were against club teams. The 4 test matches (v Ireland, England, Wales & France) were against much tougher opposition.
While as a Kiwi I always want to beat the Aussies, not mentioning them in the beginning as a contender is a mistake and dismissing them outright would be..unwise.
you should react to more hakas hella amazing i played college rugby in NZ and have comfronted two hakas during the season and had haka face off when i played rugby which felt empowering
every high school has their own Haka which the whole school learns and performs before games still know mine 25 years later. I went to school with 2 all blacks Carl Hayman and Paul Miller and we had a teacher also an allblack Josh Kronfeld.
New Zealand will always be the greatest. South Africa are pretty good too tho. I fear for South Africa fans when they start losing cos atm they have some pretty big egos 😂
I grew up in NZ and the reason NZ dominates rugby is because it's like a religion. For example Australia is also a great rugby playing nation but the difference is that Australia has a much wider appreciation for a broader range of different sports and other activities. Like Australia does well in rugby but also tennis and cricket and whatever else they do, but NZ is a monster in rugby because rugby is life in NZ for a lot of people.
The thing is the allblacks were around 88%win ratio until the professional period started hn slowly dropped to its current rate the reason nz exported lots of players and many international teams had kiwi coaches and lately clever manipulation by Beaumont and his mob brought SouthAfrica who has been our greatest foe to the northern hemisphere competition weakening the southern comp
Women have their own team which is very successful. Rugby is woven into new Zealanders as kids I can't remember a time without watching the all blacks . And most young Boys want to be all blacks . It's new Zealand's best sports team .
When the All Black's are on TV, sometimes I don't have to watch the game because my mum screams are heard a mile away. You know when they've scored, when they'll behind & when the Ref is making uncalled calls. Mum cracks me up every time 😂😂
Yeah, of all the Nations that play Rugby, New Zealand followed by South Africa are the best. The Australians rate pretty high too. Not saying the other countries aren't talented, they just mostly get steam rolled by the All Blacks.
Of all time is easy, The AB's. They've beaten everyone else more often overall. ATM it's pretty up in the air. SA are strong like always, you can never count out the Wallabies either. Tbh I haven't watched much of the Northern tests in the last year or so. France, England & Ireland still battling strong over there I assume..
@@MickalNapsthe All Blacks just played England on the weekend just been & again this Saturday down here in NZ . Would be dope to see you react to the highlights from that

Care to watch a movie about rugby that unified a nation? That movie is Invictus, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, breaking through Apartheid and making South Africa 1 of the Rugby powerhouses to date, they also use historic footage of the All Blacks, specifically focussing on Jonah Lomu (RIP), a tank that played at about 70% due to medical problems.
@@JOATMOFA I think he turned down a NZD $5 million deal to join the NFL, which means he did not play for the money. If memory serves, he was on dialysis before he was scouted for the All Blacks.
Conveniently leaving out the food poisoning portion of the final. Although, everyone loves an underdog and was cheering for RSA, it’s important to note that most of the AB’s were violently ill on the day of the final. Was a good movie though.
@@blairansellfraser Food poisoning is a possibility of any overseas gameplay, the same with Maleria if you don't have your shots. Invictus made certain of 2 main points in my opinion - everyone is equal and the only battlefield should be the playing field.
Dawg living in nz people judge us like this and RIPPA RUGBY is my fav type of rugby and farrrrr as a new Zealander or as we call ourselves Kiwis this is surprising
Our rugby clubs in new Zealand are big communities and there's no shortage of players and talent at all. Out problem is we don't pay our players like other countries will pay them. The all blacks are the best rugby team in the world
105 test matches between Springboks vs All Blacks Springboks won 39 All Blacks won 62 🙄🤫 lol SA - 4 RWC NZ - 3 RWC NZ played 70 min with one down the rest of the RWC FINALS SA only won by 1 point couldnt even get one try You NZ are the best kid. Just ask your moms 😉 That’s y’all run away to Europe rugby cos you always getting thrashed by Nz clubs lol Just pure facts mate PURE FACTS
I’d say the reason a lot of youngsters here in NZ are choosing to peruse other sports is because they know how little Rugby players make compared to other athletes in the likes of Football, Basketball even Golf - especially given the physical strain on the body and cutthroat selection process here.
The only basketball player that makes more than a professional rugby player is Steven Adams in the NBA. Pretty sure the football list in kind is in the single digits too. Ditto for any other sport. If the youngsters think that these days then we have a bigger problem - a generation of idiots.
just saying that im a new zealander and this is partially wrong. we have u16, u19 and u21s for our province for say auckland or wellington and then we move up to provincial rugby called the bunnings npc
The best sporting team in the world. Their record in Super Rugby and The Rugby Championship is insane. They dominated 7s as well. Just that gold medal missing
New Zealand and South Africa are the two best teams yes. It's NZ with most wins and highest % reign overall, RSA close second but up a world cup over them then the rest of the teams bounce between 3-6 on the regular in placements in overall opinion
Great reaction and video, a shame that one lady had to put her extremist views into it (Rugby has nearly always been for everyone and both men and women, also New Zealand loves masculinity and do not shy away from embracing it). Sadly we have like the rest of the world all these academic activist types try to divide people and make trouble. Even more sadly it's gotten so bad that these extremist even tried to get a split racial government instituted... shocking for people like me who grew up hearing about apartide and segregation in other countries to see people be propagandized that they argue for institutionalized racism in the name or "progress and inclusion".

The reason why the All Blacks received their name, wasn’t due to the Jersey colour (it wasn’t originally black), but due to a UK newspaper misprint, that was meant to say that the team played like ‘All Backs’ (ie: fast and skillful). The name stuck, apparently.
Lots of falsehoods in this video, nz didn't win 34 tests in 1905
No. The name All Blacks existed before the 1905 UK and world tour and was used by the newspaper report of the very first match of that tour. After NZ beat Devon 55-4, the local newspaper wrote: "The All Blacks, as they are styled by reason of their sable and unrelieved costume… etc". In other words, NZ wore an all black uniform and that was their name's origin. The "all backs" story has long been discredited and there has never been a newspaper report found that matches that myth, and it would have been too late anyway.
Probably not true. This has pretty well been debunked.
LOL. I thought it was because of the laundry.
Here in New Zealand it's what you played every Saturday mate and yes women play as well check out women's rugby world cup won't be disappointed
I really really love how innocent you are and how humble you are too as you comment of a sport and country you knew little about. New Zealand really is the flag bearer to the world of dominant rugby and the flare to make rugby innovative and appealing to the world
Thank you and I'll subscribe to your channel
Absolutely enjoyed this video! Much love from New Zealand brother ❤🖤
Glad you enjoyed!
Chur 2tha fukn Chur, New Zealand All day, Jonah Lomu, Tana Umanga, Dan Carter the list goes on from the Legacies, to the Legends, to the champs from the Generation of All black players here at home. Proud to be a Kiwi
What must also be remembered is the earlier All Blacks were all working men, they were not classified as professionals as they are with today's All Blacks, nor were they paid or compensated as the All Blacks of today. The diversity of available sports has changed the input to rugby. In my G.Grandad's and Grandad's Day, there were only 2 options of winter sports, rugby, more rugby and soccer (football), girls did not play men's sports, so there is a decrease on entrants, but the pool the selectors now raw from are already the cream of the crop. The All Blacks are the best and any loss is considered as a learning experience not a pity party, albeit us supporters take a loss to heart, well we all do in reality, but move on and learn.
Yep professionalism is killing our game our top players disappear overseas for the money Nz too small don’t the money to pay our top players. Worst thing that could of happened
this is one documentary I haven't watched, glad to learn something new along side you bro!
Pre 1995, South Africa was ahead of NZ in the win lose/stats between the two, NZ overtook them in 1996. The Springboks of old were a great running team, but afterwards began kicking away possession, probably because Naas Botha was great at kicking.
No issue for not knowing something 😊 just glad to see your interest.
I am from NZ and never seen that documentary you just played that was great to watch. Thanks.
Damion McKenzie is my uncle he is the kicker right now
SA only won that final by 1 point even after all that help from the ref fe couldn't even score a single try against the abs in a rugby final
Plus the only country that has had actually defended their title well is the All blacks. Sure SA has 1 more wc than New Zealand for now but they never have a rein of absolute dominance in the 4 years between world cups like the Abs have.
That's just the hard facts saffas choose to ignore to make yourselves feel better about living in the shadows of the abs for the last 100 years
Your post is wrought with errors?
*CORRECTIONS:*
a) Whether you win by 1 point or 10 points - a win is a win. (if your team has 1 point less after the final whistle blows, you *L O S E* the game - points difference doesn't give you a consolation prize?)
b) In 2019 the Springboks won the RWC *AND* in 2023 they won it *A G A I N* - they call this *_defending_* one's title?
I mean All Blacks ain’t had a decent coach for how many years now.. that’s why we’ve been so bad the last few years
I love NZ rugby, but it's lack of humility that often costs them...playoff rugby is not suited to NZ, trying to play expansive games when the other team respects the scoreboard is what cost U 2X finals against South Africa, losing to France in semis on 2 occasions because you can't read the feel of a game.
@@atholseptember8937the All Blacks is the GOAT.
@samgreer8274 greatest in overall wins, sure, let's grant that. South Africa have 3 out of 5 of the last world cups, so who has the "greater" RWC record, cos it's not NZ
Also highly recommend watching "Richie McCaw: Chasing Great". Inspirational stuff. Man captained (and won) the 2011 RWC Final with a broken foot, in secret.
New Zealand's Rugby culture is the biggest reason. We have babies and toddlers running around with a rugby ball. All NZ kids at some point, are playing Rugby in some form ... Union, League, Rippa, Touch, etc. That's why they call it GRASS ROOTS RUGBY. You'd be far stretched to find any born and bred Kiwi who has NEVER played some Rugby. It's the Country's number 1 game. So the type of play that the All Blacks is famous for (running the ball, trick passes, smart plays, quick phases of play, etc) and the rest of the World are in awe of ... is something that's instinctive to most Kiwis.
Also, you don't NEED a bunch of money to play a casual game of Rugby. Pfft ... we used to play it in a backyard with a shoe (someone lost our ball). Hell ... one time we played it at High School in our quad ... a concrete area. Dumbest thing we ever need. Everyone lost some skin that day.
These are the mistakes that a lot of the big Countries (especially the Northern Hemisphere) overlook. They think they can dominate Rugby because their population is a hundred times more and they have multi MILLIONS of dollars to spend. In those Countries, Rugby is NOT the number 1 sport. For example, the Rugby Nations in the Northern hemisphere have BILLIONS to spend on their Rugby, their Clubs, their players, their franchises, etc. Yet for all their wealth, the Rugby World Cup has only gone to the Northern Hemisphere ONCE ever.
im from new zealand and i can say that our 2011 all blacks was the most deadliest team in the history of the sport
@@wolfgaming4203 yup right alongside the invincible s
We may be a tiny country but we New Zealanders have a strong tiramākā
we start playing tackle at around 6-8 years old, we call high schools high school most of the time unless they're fancier then they typically get called colleges
One issue in many smaller centers of New Zealand is where schools leavers from the age of 16, have nowhere to play. Often, there aren't competitions that cater for U18 and U20/21 and the step up to mens grades are too great. As a result,we're losing too many from the sport.
I really liked this video. As you know now, we do have a female team, and they are formidable! Our women's Rugby Sevens team just won Gold at this year's Olympics! Yessss!🤩👏
And despite what some people are saying in the comments, our equivalent to American High Schools is either called a High School or a College but are basically the same thing.
Wellington, the NZ capital, has 1 Highschool and 12 Colleges altogether, including RONGOTAI, one of the schools in the 2015 All Blacks team photo (13:52). 'FRANCIS DOUGLAS' is short for Francis Douglas Memorial College, so yeah, we have both. I don't know why, we just do, and you can just about guarantee that they'll have a First XV - a team of the best 15 rugby players that represent the school at tournaments, the same way the All Blacks First XV, represent New Zealand.
Some background info about rugby:
- Rugby Union only went professional in 1995. Before that it was an amateur game.
- The first rugby world cup was in 1987.
- Before that national teams would 'tour' in the summer. Before international flights this meant sailing to the other side of the world which took weeks and these tours would last several months staring with local teams and then finishing in a series of International Tests against the home nations international team.
The most famous Touring side are the British & Irish Lions. The Lions are made up of the best players from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Every 4 years they tour either South Africa, New Zealand or Australia. The next tour is in 2025 to Australia.
Many players rate playing in a Lions Test series as the high point of their career, even above the world cup.
For the British and Irish players this is because:
- The history of the Lions and the prestige of being a British Lion. Especially those that win a test series.
- It only happens ever 4 years.
- To get into the squad, let alone the test team you have to be the best not just in your own country, but out of all the home nations.
- All the advantages are with the home team. The Lions are a scratch team of talented players who only have a short time to develop a style of play and get to know each other, playing away against one of the best sides in the world, who in contrast have had years to develop their playing style and become familiar with their team mates.
- All the above mean winning a Test serise is the ultimate challenge for British and Irish players, arguably tougher than winning a World Cup.
For the Spring Boks, All Blacks and Aussies it's equally as big a deal because:
- The history of the Lions and the rivalry with their mother country.
- For them a Lions test series only happens once every 12 years, usually just once in their career.
Lions tours are at least as big a deal as the World Cup and have a much longer history.
Two legendary Lions tours are the 1971 Lions tour to NZ and the 1974 Lions tour of SA.
There's a brilliant documentary on the latter here:
ruclips.net/video/OqE8GH4IMK0/видео.html
Another very good documentary series is 'Living with the Lions' from the 1997 tour to SA.
ruclips.net/video/35gk6PX1-0U/видео.html
The 2009 Second test vs the Spring Boks is famous for being perhaps the hardest match since the game went professional and so full on that many of the players ended up being taken to hospital afterwards:

i aint know rugby had different leagues thats crazy
School Rugby matches get... chaotic pretty fast. Not the game itself mind, but the schools, it gets passionate. Fights even break out cause of it depending on the schools playing, and if they're rivals or not.
Also it's not like we're intentionally making larger pools of talent by getting children into it ASAP, most kids actually want to play, it's just a really big sport for us here, literally akin to Americans with the NFL
I'm a new Zealander and can confirm we are great at rugby
Thanks my bro...that was great to have your viewpoint.
love from New Zealand brother. We appreciate the reaction
The NZ Black Ferns is the Womens rugby team with 6 Rugby World Cup victories and a 85% win rate ☝🏽☝🏽
Thats because NZ are warriors 💯
Be very hard to find a family here that doesnt own a rugby ball!
We have played rugby on the field, at the park, neighbors & yep even on the street.
30 grow men running around after a ball and you call them warriors 🤣🤣 what a joke.
My grandson is 2.5 yrs and goes to Rugby Tots every Saturday. Cutest shit ever!
Its cause we love being outside and being active. We tend to do well (for our size) at most sports we compete in
Ok. I’m English. The respect we have for the All Blacks is tremendous. The Haka! I’ve seen it live and it is electrifying. I think it gives them a 10 point advantage. And quite rightly. I think what I love so much about them is that the Māoris are such a beautiful people and their customs are beautiful. They deserve every accolade given to them. England is playing the All Blacks today 😬😬😬. We don’t expect to win. But we will give it a good go. Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed it. ❤
Women's rugby has sky rocketed in the last 5 or 6 years from being of casual interest to some to being a highly entertaining, high skill level professional sport with significant interest among all rugby fans.
However currently only the major countries have fully professional women's teams. Those of the smaller nations are semi-pro or amateur at present.
More women's national teams need to go professional to keep matches competitive.
One of the top gal's is an old friend, I saw her on the news a few months back.
A reporter tried some kind of strange gotcha or a poking for a political take, she freaking shot them down while being normal and humble and man it hit me right in the feel's.
Not only did they just have a huge win, but she also shot down some stupid media person who did not care if there fishing for a sound byte or what ever they where doing that could have made her and the team look bad.
as a kiwi i will say we have donimated for a long time during 2014+ ish all black roster, but south africa has always been a formitable opponent, 1. NZ, 2. S.A, 3. England is my personal list

The Haka was a war cry imagine hearing that coming towards you. It is amazing to watch and listen. We have the Black Ferns who are an amazing team of ladies.

There’s a book called “Legacy” by James Kerr. It’s a super relatable read & takes you into the culture of an All Black Team.
P.S.
Love your work, your humility is heartfelt.
The worst coach in ABs history was the reason for our decline over the last 4 years. Ian Foster’s remarkable records:
1. First loss vs Argentina - 2020
2. First loss vs Argentina in NZ - 2022
3. First loss vs Ireland in NZ - 2022
4. First series loss vs Ireland in history.
5. First series loss since 1994.
6. Record loss in NZ history (vs South Africa) - 2023
7. First loss in a RWC pool match (v France) - 2023
8. Worst ever loss in South Africa (10-26) - 2022
9. First time the All Blacks have lost two tests in a row by +13 points.

As a New Zealander, the drop is kind of a double edged sword. Less people are playing Rugby, due to the rise in other sports. Before, Rugby, Netball and Soccer might have been your only options as an athlete. But, now people are getting to pursue what they are actually passionate about; especially with MMA getting more popular and there being heaps of Muay Thai and BJJ gyms opening up
I don't know much about sport. But at my High school (we do call them that not colleges in NZ) we didn't have a female rugby team since most weren't interested in that sport and went more towards lacrosse, basketball and netball.
1:09 pretty much but the other countries on the map absolutely deserve there place in the top 10. But ya know,...rugby is kinda our thing here its literally a part of our culture
I really liked it, I know the male commentator Tony he’s a really smart guy and I have a close friend whos Dad was an All Black and her great grandfather was in the Invincibles, her father got a scholarship to kings College from. Taranaki and that is how a lot of the private schools do it, they create scholarships for young players to come from the farming regional areas to play for their first 15 and that’s why they end up with 5 schools dominating in Auckland one is a public school but in the richest zone Auckland Grammar School, Kings College, St Kentigerns, Sacred Heart, and Wesley College I think are the group mainly. I used to raise money professionally at one of the schools and the old boys will sponsor students out of zone all the time.
It was invented after a guy called William Webb Ellis got frustrated in a soccer match and grabbed the ball and started running. That's why the rugby world cup is still named The William Webb Ellis cup .
That's a long discredited myth. Handling the ball was part of football at Rugby School for decades before the English Football Association (where soccer comes from) was formed in 1863. There is no evidence that Ellis played any special part in the increasing popularity of running with the ball, which was legal but discouraged. The style became more popular at Rugby in the 1830s, long after Ellis had left. The World Cup was named in line with the myth, but no serious rugby historian accepts the story.
love from nz bro
Appreciate it bro
I'm from New Zealand, awesome vid bro, all blacks are good but look up the crusaders they're from the level below all black here but the dominant team within NZ
The Aus vs Nz comparison overlooks some massive facts. There are two types of rugby, Rugby Union and Rugby League. This video only looks at Rugby League. In Aus, Rugby League is the dominant sport, like 3-4 times the size of Rugby Union by participant numbers, and strangely enough the Aus have a dominant record against Nz in that. Add to that the fact Australian Rules Football is far more popular than both rugby codes, and draws a lot of the athletic talent, and you start to get a picture of why Nz typically beats Aus in Rugby.
It kind of like comparing Brazil to USA in soccer.
oh ok
As a kiwi I don't think I want my kids playing rugby hearing too much about long term head injury.
PISSS OFFF AND PLAY GEY BALL NO ONE CARES SNOWFLAKE ❄️ LOL
You should worry more about Fluoride and processed food if you care about brains.
@salenawaaka6258 Maybe I do, but kids playing rugby is what I've been talking about and has little to do with your comment.
I like the style - also NZ All Blacks will climb again but as always that takes time (It certainly doesn't help that we've put our players all over the world in the Win / Loss stats but now we are having to figure out ways to be even better than we were when we won ALL the time ... something of a healthy thing I suggest.) Although it may not seam like it the new coach is actually a good thing - Fozzy needed to step back and look at another route but just couldn't - NEXT WORLD CUP IS Razor's!!!! (as he is affectionately known)
The All Blacks play Fiji in San Diego this Friday 19 July @ 7.30pm. The Fijians also have a war dance, and are some of the most exciting speed-giants to play the game - they dominate Rugby 7s. Check it out if you can! There's also Major League Rugby, and the 2031 Rugby World Cup will be held in the USA.
Wtf just recognised the dude holding the ball at 9:51 he lived in my dorm in first year uni. Pretty sure he basically went to play rugby and bridge into the pro scene.
In New Zealand Rugby is big because it is a past time as well as a sport & it is common for a group of people to play a game at social events but there have been players that are legends if not Gods in the sport that kids inspire to be, for me it was Sir Colin Meads (Sir is an official title for being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to rugby.) & he is well worth looking up as a reaction video as is another NZ legendary player Jonah Lomu.
MBEs never came with a 'Sir" title ie they weren't/aren't knighthoods - you're simply styled you name followed by the letters, like John Smith MBE.
Meads got the knighthood because he got a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit -CNZM, from 2001 (30 yrs after got the MBE) and when the Key govt brought back knighthoods in 2009 he was eligible to get it converted to a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit KNZM which he opted to take but he didn't have to.
Always love when people rush to tell about titles and they have pretty zero knowledge about actual facts.

They are called the *SPRINGBOKS* and have won more *Rugby World Cups* than the *All Blacks* in less tournaments too!
*Springboks* played 8 tournaments; won 4 RWC's (50% success rate) 1995, 2007, 2019 & 2023
*All Blacks* played 10 tournaments; won 3 RWC's (30% success rate) 1987, 2011, 2015
(Had Springboks played in the 1987 and the 1991 tournaments, they'd have one at least one of them too)
The All Blacks have also lost 2 RWC finals against the Springboks - 1995 & 2023.
The commentary has at least one error. The term “test match” or just “Test” (quite often capitalised) refers to matches between two countries (i.e. NZ v say Wales, or England - teams made up of players from many different clubs). The “Invincibles” tour of 1924-25 comprised 32 matches but 28 of these were against club teams. The 4 test matches (v Ireland, England, Wales & France) were against much tougher opposition.
While as a Kiwi I always want to beat the Aussies, not mentioning them in the beginning as a contender is a mistake and dismissing them outright would be..unwise.
you should react to more hakas hella amazing i played college rugby in NZ and have comfronted two hakas during the season and had haka face off when i played rugby which felt empowering
That's why they were called the Invincibles :)
every high school has their own Haka which the whole school learns and performs before games still know mine 25 years later. I went to school with 2 all blacks Carl Hayman and Paul Miller and we had a teacher also an allblack Josh Kronfeld.

New Zealand will always be the greatest. South Africa are pretty good too tho. I fear for South Africa fans when they start losing cos atm they have some pretty big egos 😂
South African rugby fans are intolerable
Don't worry about Springboks mate we all good
I grew up in NZ and the reason NZ dominates rugby is because it's like a religion. For example Australia is also a great rugby playing nation but the difference is that Australia has a much wider appreciation for a broader range of different sports and other activities. Like Australia does well in rugby but also tennis and cricket and whatever else they do, but NZ is a monster in rugby because rugby is life in NZ for a lot of people.
Akin to Brazils relationship with Football.
Yea I can see that lol they hella good too
Every town in NZ has a rugby field.
The thing is the allblacks were around 88%win ratio until the professional period started hn slowly dropped to its current rate the reason nz exported lots of players and many international teams had kiwi coaches and lately clever manipulation by Beaumont and his mob brought SouthAfrica who has been our greatest foe to the northern hemisphere competition weakening the southern comp
Women have their own team which is very successful.
Rugby is woven into new Zealanders as kids I can't remember a time without watching the all blacks . And most young Boys want to be all blacks . It's new Zealand's best sports team .
When the All Black's are on TV, sometimes I don't have to watch the game because my mum screams are heard a mile away. You know when they've scored, when they'll behind & when the Ref is making uncalled calls.
Mum cracks me up every time 😂😂
High school is known as college in New Zealand
Yeah, of all the Nations that play Rugby, New Zealand followed by South Africa are the best. The Australians rate pretty high too. Not saying the other countries aren't talented, they just mostly get steam rolled by the All Blacks.

Of all time is easy, The AB's. They've beaten everyone else more often overall.
