That's me at 6:52 shouting "All Blacks" just after the haka! Arrived in NZ at 8am that morning from Seoul, Korea and flew back at 9.45am the next morning, only in the country for 26 hours. My brother scored tickets five days before the game so I made a spur of the moment trip home. Went 48 hours without sleep and barely noticed it. Unbelievable experience! That BLACKWASH sign was ours. We took a sign with the same thing written on it to the first RWC final in 1987. Best 24 hours of my life!
best night of my life will never forget it. Hugging randoms in the crowd and then in the city we danced till dawn. Flew back home to Sydney a few days later with a smile longer than 90 mile beach. So Proud!
How ironic was the final score? The last world cup we won was in 87 at eden park. 2011 world cup,the score line 8-7 at eden park.lol just thinking out loud lol
3:07, you can tell that that French guy was really enjoying the moment and having fun despite witnessing his team losing. He was heartbroken, but so proud of his team for getting that far.
made me realise how beautiful new zealand is! thank you for that great time. we all need to tell our sons and grandsons how we celebrated the cup last year ♥
Thanks so much for uploadng this. Ive watched several tmes and just cant get enough. RWC FINAL 2011, best night of my life and still a few tears. Piri's daughter is adorable man she looks just like him!
lived in NZ for 3 years fell in love with richie and the boys loved the NZ people more never was a victory so needed to believe your the best is not the same as doing it and to win it in trench warfare with your best generals missing thats what it means to be an ALLBLACK
That was the night that all the men in NZ cried their eyes out! Credit to John, love how he presented the best moment of 2011!! CHEEEEHOOOO!! ALL BLACKS ALLDAAY!!
As a Scot I can 100% say the All Blacks are the most respected team in World Rugby. The toughest team to beat, I would agree with the statement they weren't as strong in their tests this year but they are still the best side going.
Thank you Liam Brooky. France manipulated their way into the final - they took it to the AB's and maybe they should have won that game, but they didn't deserve to win the Rugby World Cup. The All Blacks won it on the back of rugged defence and determination. As the French say "C'est la vie". All you haters, as we Kiwis say "go cry me a river mate..."
wow looking back well after winning back to back titles the heart the boys showed to hold out a determined french side....but thrashing them in the semis was so sweet. 2019 let defend it again #ALLBLACKEVERYTHING 💯✊😎
Funny how 2011 Rugby World Cup Final was refereed by a South African and All Blacks won by just 1 point, and then in 2015 Rugby World Cup Semi Final they did the exact same thing and beat South Africa the hard way and that game was refereed by French Referee and All Blacks just won by 2 points that time.
who's the player that is hugging the reporter at 1:07? i like that scene. a big tough guy overwhelmed by his feelings that show's how much rugby means to your country. :-)
What game were you watching Cry me a river,France has made it to the WC final's three times and still hasn't got there hands on the cup who's the choker's now
They lost one game against the NZ and one against Tonga. Dusautoir has always been a great player, probably one of the best flankers of the decade. You can't say he sucked without showing thus you didn't even look at one of his perfomances. Be honest, check your words.
The postmortem will continue for the next 3years but the bottom line is that the All Blacks WON! The French played their best game of the whole tournament, but alas, it fell short. They retire to the 6-Nations to help improve the 'way to play' in that hemisphere! I take the friendly-piss out of the Aussies and Boks allatime, but they ARE our most formidable foes in the Heavenly Game, for we know each other so well. The 'challenge' now is which of us 3nations - will be first to 3-peat!
Thirty minutes after the final whistle, and NOBODY has left the stadium, and they're still cheering. Of course, it's Rugby, it's not a soccer crowd. AND - New Zealand is a small country. It's like a village of 3 million people - this is one large family celebrating.
One thing I always think would have made more sense was the music that played when the whistle blew. In my opinion the perfect song would have been "Poi E" we had the whole entire nation come together to celebrate such a monumental moment and the track that played no knock to Hayley westernrie but it just didn't fit. Poi E would have been perfect or even slice of heaven from Dave dobbyne
Donald! Donald! Donald! Nice send off for a much maligned player. Brilliant that he came on and kicked us the winning penalty. Have fun in Bath, Stephen. You deserve it.
i agree with you about it being an awful performance by the all blacks im just saying that 24 years of waiting and to finally win the world cup, trust me was a satisfying feeling.
Bro you obviously dont know how good it felt, i guess you wouldnt understand cause u aint a kiwi. But GO THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS, NEW ZEALAND ALL DAY EVERY DAY
every1 knows france always bring it in the big matches and they played will, but trust me the feeling of satisfaction was no less despite the game, the parade the next day should clearly illustrate that.

Franks brothers post game talk in the shed: "should we wake up at 6 and go lift cars in the gym" "Yup"

All Blacks forever!!!
That gave me shivers
Whats the song thats playing when it showed thorn?
Funny how 2011 Rugby World Cup Final was refereed by a South African and All Blacks won by just 1 point, and then in 2015 Rugby World Cup Semi Final they did the exact same thing and beat South Africa the hard way and that game was refereed by French Referee and All Blacks just won by 2 points that time.
I'm lucky to see us winning three world cups
John Campbell getting hugged is hilarious.
Well said, couldn't agree more
Thorn is a great man of sport.
Number 1
Big Bad Brad Thorn will always be my number 1 favourite Union/League player of all time.
Magnificent
who's the player that is hugging the reporter at 1:07? i like that scene. a big tough guy overwhelmed by his feelings that show's how much rugby means to your country. :-)
funny security guards playing rugby at midnight
Anyone know what song is playing at 1:46 with Brad Thorn kneeling?
that's what i love about New Zealand; we're a proud race!
I will always be a proud kiwi!
i was like on coke when i was in nz watching that last game mate
Lol I was on Meth mate when it was pure lol
"he will remember it all his life that boy"
For the rest of his life when he moves to Australia in 15 years time
Brad Thorn. What a LEGEND!!!

All blacks rock

David Kirk. Wow, what a role model.
06:41 absolutely brilliant to see Milsey there!

Brad Thorn... COME BACK!

damn I feel sorry for that french fan that cried. At least give him a hug cambell :)
Cheers mate, I knew there was an ounce of local NZ compassion out there! Take care!

Wales thought that they had the chance to beat the All Blacks at the 2011 Rugby World Cup Final, had they beat France in the Semi-Finals

Brad Thorn is the man
of course the people didnt want to leave after half an hour John Campbell. they want to see Webb Ellis
Richie at 00:20 "WE F###ING DID IT!"
