Love Justin Marshall, absolute legend and probably the most unbiased rugby punter out there, was an all black great aswell, respect from an Irishman.🇮🇪
And a commentator alongside Tony Johnson for all our All Black (except for this Cup for some reason) and many Super Rugby fixtures for many years in NZ. Awesome player, and great energy on mic too. A wonderful ambassador of the brutaful game.
I have watched countless AB vs. Springboks games and what I appreciate about Justin is he's very complementary when there's good rugby, regardless of the team. I appreciate his balanced feedback in the games. It's been great seeing him "in person" on many of these World Cup shows. He's a great ambassador for the sport.
Kinda his job as a pundit to be impartial, plus he has played at the highest level, knows the game inside out and I never met a 9 that was short of a word. Hope he will be part of the NZRFU new media set up.
@@siix477 Sure it's his job. But look at JK and Goldie. They are so far up their own *** that they don't appreciate the amazing rugby around them outside the AB team. Thankfully Mils does a good job bringing balance to the conversation.
Every Jim Hamilton interview with Rugby greats has been wonderful. he asks great questions and then lets his interviewees talk through at their own pace, and they deliver real insights into our sport. keep it up!
Jim Hamilton has been the personality of the World Cup for me, and he’s exactly what rugby needed, someone to keep the fans engaged midweek, telling us about the atmosphere at the games and building up the big matches Great job big Jim
I think the best part of the RWC '23 has been the continuous media pods for insights and greats of the game giving us their pearls of wisdom and experience...wonderful stuff.

I love the way the Irish play the game. They play a great brand of rugby. I want the allblacks to win but if they don't I will full on get behind Ireland and hope they go on and win the cup. New Zealanders love Irish people
Us Irish adore/respect and get the kiwi,s. Very similar mindsigt as people go. Never even have a discussion about stopping the haka and I hope I my heart of hearts Us Irish will shut up for that glorious 2 mins but game on then brothers 🤣
I'm a kiwi devout 😅ab fan but have toured Ireland the Irish people are beautiful people reminds me of kiwis who ever wins deserves it good luck to your team 👍 I no problem if we lose looking forward to a great game
it's refreshing just to watch a couple of guys from opposite sides of the world stroll along and talk straight down the middle...none of this one-sided nonsense. enjoyed this cheers from NZ
I've always had so much time for Justin, I love the way he speaks about both sides. I remember back in 2016 when Ireland beat the AB's for the first time how excited he was when Ireland scored a try and eventually went on to win the game. He loves rugby regardless of the team that plays his beloved AB's. So unbiased, it's refreshing. All the very best to both sides this weekend 🇮🇪 🇳🇿
Love listening to Justin. He’s fair conscience and has a balanced no emotive approach to his view on rugby and how teams are currently performing. Let’s go Ireland 🇮🇪
Great show guys! Superb questions from Jim and pinpoint and insightful analysis from Marshy. From a South African gaze, Marshy is without doubt the most balanced analytical voice in the New Zealand game. Thank you so much for the superb show Rugby Pass.
JM is by far the best former all black commentary specialist around. He has the courage to be critical, and in a kind way points out our weaknesses and where we need to improve. I watch the break down and it’s just like three outside backs trying to sell the brand regardless of the reality, and the reality is that our pack is not as good as France’s pack, South Africa’s pack, or Ireland’s pack… props to Mils though.
I do appreciate James Parsons too. Loves the game, loves the way it's played, follows teams around the world and believes in the best they can bring. Potentially him and JM are my 2 favorite commentators across the world of sport.
Having said that, the AB pack held parity with the Bok pack in the Rugby Championship (from a Bok fan). I believe that when Retallic and Frizell are there, they bring the power and the mongrel. Now if an AB pack can get parity, then the AB backs become infinitely more dangerous.
What game are you watching? Watch this weekend as the ABs pack asserts dominance over the Irish and you have to eat your words. If our starting props are de Groot and Lomax with Frizzell on the side we will be golden.
James parsons is good. I remember the days when abs were the favorites and destined to take the world cup. No such thing, looking forward to a great game with no cards. It is about time the allblacks are underdogs, fantastic, the pressure is now on Ireland. We have the joy of having a new coach next year and this could be in spite of..., or just a blip in the time continuum like 1998 (these last 4 years). Cheers to all the teams and fans , rugby( if you stop feckin with the rules) is the winner.
In Ireland a lot of people have time for Marshall. He tends to say it as it is in spite of being a former All Black. It seems to be if you wore that jersey , you can’t criticize your country. I really hope Saturday is a great game and obviously Ireland win and do themselves justice. Fingers crossed.🤞
@@barrypower6822 lol all of them at the moment ... no actually thinking about it I guess they are just calling it like it is, and the way it is, is that Ireland is playing magnificent rugby.
@@rugbywatchesgaming4048I'm not Irish but the absolute audacity of NZ fans or pundits accusing anyone else of arrogance. You're called the all blacks because that all you can see when your so far up your own arse.
As an Irish person, massive massive respect for the All Blacks & for the Haka, what an absolute honor it is to witness, you can feel the power & the meaning in your bones, I think this resonates with the Irish, I think that’s on a similar vein to what people feel when Irish fans are singing in their thousands, there’s a meaning/connection to our ancestors/our struggle/our land, two different cultures but both deep & nature loving & with a spiritual power.. Huge respect and admiration on both sides, what a match this will be, ancestors behind us on both sides 💜
Luv the honesty from Justin, loads of great points made. Hopefully, the panel from the Breakdown watch this and learn to be a bit more humble like Justin and not blame everybody else for the poor form of NZ rugby of late. Rugby is the winner at the end of the day and it's great that the rest of the world has caught up and surpassed the AB's.
What a fantastic interview. Two awesome blokes not being total douche bags. So refreshing compared to The Breakdown and Off The Ball. I love how you spoke about both teams, the tone was honest and genuine without being patronising or cheerleading. Thank you.
Bring back tours! Imagine a yearly south african tour with a irish, french and english tour every other year. That would be better then the current schedule.
It was the first time we won a series ever in South Africa. And the first time a neutral referee was involved. South Africa won 70% of tests v New Zealand with their own refs, less than 30% since.
Marshy is by far the best NZ analyst. Foster is far too insular in his coaching, selections and outlook to take on board his comments. That's why he and the AB's under his tenure have the record they've got. Roll on the Razor Robertson era.
Loved the interview. The walk and talk format is excellent Jim… this and the ROG ones are brilliant!! Justin very complimentary and giving a super insight to the game. Sick with nerves for the game on Saturday as I’m Irish. keep em coming!
Excellent discussion and honest analysis, one of the best rugby site in the World at this World Cup. Thankyou boys. Sky made a huge mistake by not including Marshall in their Team at the World Cup. Best Rugby Analyst. Sky have a team of outside backs at the Breakdown who can’t even have constructive criticism of the AB performance.
As an Irish fan it feels like new territory going into a game against the AB’s as slight favourites. I think it will come down to the mental battle and IRE to win by a small margin. Fingers crossed 🤞
by far the best rapport between two analysts, informative and unbiased. This upcoming game is the most exciting clash for some time and deserved to be a semi or a final but regardless can't wait for it. Good luck to both teams, hope it lives up to the hype and isn't ruined by penaltys, send offs, poor referring decisions or bad weather. I suspect there won't be a lot of entertaining running rugby, it will be more a slow slog like IRE vs SA was with a lot of kicking. If AB don't win, hope IRE can go on to win the cup.
Justin has that great combo; frankness, experience, love of the game, respect for others, love of his country but honest about needed improvements/changes, confidence but so importantly, not arrogant or blowing smoke up his bum; very entertaining and congrats Big Jim, you do an awesome job of these interviews; so much better than many of the Roundtable/group biased chitchat shows from recognised/big channels.
Justin bro.. You absolutely make the past ancestors living in the Rugby Heaven so proud of your words. You conveyed your stand as an AB with such integrity and honour that made me feel so much more at one with this nation and the finest athletes (Toa, warriors) we can field on the open arena... Keep being you. Respect from a Northland Native of our wee islands.
Love you Justin and your comments. Your were a fierce competitor, a thorn in many sides and didn’t give an inch to any opponent. You have the right to say what you think about rugby and how teams play it. Don’t worry about the NZ broadcasters who don’t appreciate you!
Love this interview. The thing we need to get between our ears is us being favourites. We ain’t used to that. This is like italia 90 when Ireland changed how we thought about things This could be massive for us. This weekend, Ireland shows who we are! The only worry is that this is the first rwc where New Zealand have a free shot . That’s worrying but I believe in my team and the work we’ve done.
So much rugby intelligence. His ability to step back, assess and see where the ABs need to go is amazing. Loved the way he connects with heritage to build confidence that the ABs will dominate world rugby again! Until then the shamrock will prevail :-)
Best interview. Very impressed with Justin's knowledge and wisdom on his subject. As an Irish fan totally unused to our team being in this position I think of how Justin highlights that NZ are also in a situation they are not used to. Whether or not the AB's win on Saturday, they are at a crossroads. In a way, a win on Saturday may stall the changes that are necessary for them to be the best again because the world has caught up with them. But, following Justin's excellent and holistic assessment the AB's will, given the innate talent and passion that exists in NZ, will be back. (They cannot do otherwise). But right now, as Ireland are championing a new way, we can and must beat them on Saturday.
Justin, nailed the description of the current disease in NZ rugby. I see this, as a Kiwi, and not many of my countrymen do. The NZ rugby public believe a form of AB Mythology (often seeing something that is not there); the hierarchy of the game are so completely invested in the brand believing their own marketing hype. Northern rugby has come a long way - as demonstrated by Ireland and France; and by the competition in the 6 Nations. Old NZ rugby heads that spend time in the North can see this and have been vocal about it for some time. But the marketing and hype .... and at times cult of personality, creates a rugby silo in NZ. My team has some hugely talented high rugby IQ, they can and will pull out a performance that will put any other team to the sword. But they need to learn from the North. ABs game structure tends to be too gladiatorial .."winning the contact" etc .... which often does not work with a team stacked with larger humans. The mindset that Kiwis are somehow special has recently been put into perspective - and this has been entirely missed by the public. My people are crazy enthusiastic, and you have to love that, but enough is enough. I wish the ABs well, with all my heart, always have since that first game I listened to on the 'wireless' at about 4am in the morning, countless decades ago. I hope they can get through - it would be nice for Fozzie to take that away with him. I just don't think the ABs can get it done this time. The game ... our game ... has moved on. Others are now better at it. Time to grow up, take on the responsibility ... and take it back. Through real learning and real 'mahi' ... not cultural hype.
Gosh, one of the best interviews I have watched! Justin says the way it is with no bias and complementary to both sides. I believe Ian Foster still coaches as an assistant coach! Captaincy will have a major impact on the game and Sam isn't quite there. Many New Zealanders are picking Ireland to win and rightfully so! It's interesting most commentators are talking about individual All-Black players and if they are at their best but Ireland talks about the team. That pretty much says it all because it's a team sport! Come the end of the day, it would be great for the sport, for a different team to win the cup!
All-Blacks gave us a 73-0 a$$ whooping that we were expecting to get. But please don't try take the Haka away from us. That was the highlight of the game for us! Heck, probably the highlight of the tournament, alongside the Namibia win. Watching the All-Blacks perform that before a rugby game is an honor. That experience will stay with us forever. Good luck tomorrow vs Ireland.
I'm Irish and love the Haka, it's one of the traditions that make our sport great and should never be gotten rid of. Take the challenge and meet it head on, win lose or draw rugby is better with the Haka than without
Great interview and breakdown boys, feeling' it, from a Dublin man in NYC, also by the sounds of other interviews it sounds like there needs to be more competitions in New Zealand. It was definitely the place to go learn for the past 100 years & no one can take that away from you. But I'm routing for the boys as I have done my whole life, 53 years now, we deserve one and I'm looking forward to some top class running, passing, tackling, scoring, lets go Shamrocks ☘☘☘
Another great chat. Looking forward to all the games this weekend but especially the Ire v NZ one. I think it's going to be especially physical, surpassing the SA v Ire clash a few weeks ago. Some of the NZ players are quite bullish about their prospects, judging by some of their comments in the press conferences in the last few days. I think they have a steely determination about them and from an Irish perspective, that worries me. I think Joe Schmidt will have devised a few "trick" plays for this game too. That said, Ireland aren't lacking motivation either and both their defence and attack have been very good. I really can't call the result. I see it 50/50. The first few minutes of the game will be really interesting - Ireland like to start fast and impose their gameplan on the match and get points on the board early. But so do NZ - it's one of aspect of their current play that I think they've adopted from Ireland. A fascinating match in prospect. Nothing against NZ but I hope Ireland win - they're an excellent side who've been great to watch over the last few years in my opinion.
It's going to be inches that decide it 50 50 ....who ever gets the early momentum has got a great chance .Im English but as a rugby fan first and foremost .love both sides,but I'd like Ireland to win the cup.
He is the most hated pundit at home, he was a great player, but he tends to go out of his way to talk up other teams, seemingly to not be accused of being one eyed talking about teams he has played for (and I say this as a Cantabrian). There was an online petition here a few years ago to get rid of him off SKY Sport's commentary team - it got tens of thousands of signatures.
Thanks you guys for your input and it was a real insights into the pass & this World cup. Justin's knowledge and wisdom is a great ambassador for the sport,I only wish we could get Keith Quinn & Justin together would make the best commentary team. I went over to the world cup in 1999 first time to Cardiff and we all no what happen and now we are selling off the AB's piece by piece, were to from here. Razor got has work cut out for him but he is the best man for the job
Irishman here....really like Justin as a pundit , wears his heart in his sleeve which is why Sky probably didn't contract him for their coverage, he is not afraid to speak his mind unlike the panel on the Sky NZ breakdown show!
the Breakdown show is an embarrassment, but Marshall as a commentator wasn't always accurate and got things wrong to often. This is the first time I've actually seen him give an accurate assessment.
Can see Ireland walking away with this one. And that is incredible to say, given my lifetime and what NZ have done. This game 'feels' so much like NZ vs France in Cardiff. As an attempted soothsayer - I honestly think that their hardest game will be the semi-final, whoever they get. I feel like, if they beat NZ, the entire momentum and expectation will shift entirely, and it will become a disappointment if they don't win (and also they'll go into the semi-final as MASSIVE favourites). Argentina have the QF knockout to scare Ireland with. So do Wales. And both will make their lives absolute hell in that semi-final. So much so, I think they might, as marshy says, go inside themselves a bit. But, as a Welsh fan, I think they'll get through it all. And I really hope I see the mother of all finals (OK, I'd obviously prefer Wales!), Ireland vs France. Bon chance Iwerddon!
History would suggest your right hah! But it can count for little at times. I feel like they 'owe' the all blacks for the last world cup, and that could be dangerous for NZ@@babu7141
What an excellent format. Kudos to the camera-man & sound guy, making this a very natural conversational style interview with great scenery. The walk'n'talk style focuses the viewer on the content of what they're saying without distracting or shutting one's attention span down. The laconic delivery of the interviewers questions adds to the rhythm of the interview. It feels like the viewer is actually there, walking alongside them while they talk.
Great series of videos. When we had lomax, retallic, and frizzel in the RC our forwards were so much better and taking ion SA just fine - so happy to finally hear all are back for this game
Fair play lads. It's been a real pleasure listening to youse. Really enjoying this world cup. And even an old thicko like myself is getting abit of rugby knowledge lol 😂😂😂😂
Being enjoying the Rugby Pass candid and engaging insights. Having retired elite players banner between themselves is so refreshing, unbias and has been a great compliment to the Workd Cup.
When Justin was still playing, any time the AB's didn't play him against our Boks, I would breath a sigh of relief. He was such a great player. Now he has turned into a genuine great on the speaking head circuit of Rugby too. Much respect Mr. Marshall, Sir.
16:10 Ronan O'Gara helped and transformed how the crusaders play. Joe schmidt was Also in Leinster and Ireland. But i agree not sending out coaches is like biting off your nose to spite your face.
Good analysis by JM about when the ABs went into decline i.e. the Lions Tour. There has been no indication or innovation for that matter as far as I can see that demonstrates that we know how to negate Ireland's, France's or South Africa's aggressive defence. That's on the coaches. Foster banging on about how other teams need to adopt an attacking mind set doesn't give me any confidence that we will be able to cope with the pressure Ireland bring this weekend. I hope I'm wrong and it's not beyond the character of these ABs to pull one out of the bag.
Many happy memories of waking up early on a Saturday to watch Marshall and Mehrtans for the Crusaders years ago. Glad he seems as much of a legend off the field as he was a great player on it.
Keeping the Haka for "big occasions" would be very disrespectful to lesser teams like Italy. If they don't get Haka'd (is that a word?) they will feel like they are being dismissed as unimportant.
Then they should up their game. It's embarrassing how shite they are. Lesser teams would kill for the platform they have yet they do nothing to improve
If there were ever any change to the haka being performed maybe it could be for home games. In saying that i reckon it fires most teams up. How could it not fire you up facing that.
@@Sylo. yep, something that really helps with interpretation of it is the clip of the NZ basketball team doing it in front of a star-studded USA team stacked with the best paid players in the world. It clearly wasn't about saying "We are stronger, we will destroy you", it's just traditional. I also remember when the All Blacks played Munster and Munster's New Zealanders did their own Haka in response!
I’m an huge Ireland rugby fan, I’m also a big fan of the All Blacks since 95 amd the days of Jonah Lomu. I really hope we can get past you guys tonight, it would be our greatest ever sporting achievement. But, if we dont make it. It will be heartbreaking but I will support the All Blacks all way. Let’s see what happens
Another quality, enjoyable interview Jim, cheers man. Justin Marshall is a legend, great to get his perspective on the game this weekend and the other topics discussed. Cannot wait till kick off on Saturday, nerves are the same as before the SA match. Hopefully, the 15 named yesterday actually start the match on Saturday, I'm looking at you Mack 🤞
Great convo, brilliant insight. They both forget to mention Joe Schmidt when discussing going out, getting experience elsewhere and coming back; could have a bearing on the weekend that one!
Good interview. JM hurt his career when he confronted Ioane last year. I hope he gets back on track as he only showed his heart. Many bag on him, but I thought his commentary was/is as balanced just like Nesbo. They are the best commentary team & even more so when you hear how biased other commentators are for their team.
Best player I've seen live; I was just a boy sat on a wall behind the posts, Justin lead Leeds Tykes to a crushing defeat of Cardiff Blues in the Heineken Cup group stages. I thought I was there to see the return of Jonah Lomu but it was all about Justin marshalling the team - he was everywhere - setting the play, setting up tries, going over himself and even grabbing a drop goal at the start. Mercurial and magnificent.
great interview and great people to have hear their take. On another note... Its fun to think that little man on the left was able to tackle big boy on the right, Quite impressive
Love Justin Marshall, absolute legend and probably the most unbiased rugby punter out there, was an all black great aswell, respect from an Irishman.🇮🇪
Was an All Black yes a great no way
Biased as when it comes to crusaders in super rugby 😂
Graeme Bachop was way better ,fastest off the ground passer ,better all rounder at that time
Him and Mils Muliaina are so unbiased when it comes to their views on NZ rugby - great to watch!

that could be interpreted differently@@joedennehy386
Justin Marshall was also many peoples' man of the series in the 96 NZ v SA series.
Marshy is by far the best NZ analyst. Foster is far too insular in his coaching, selections and outlook to take on board his comments. That's why he and the AB's under his tenure have the record they've got. Roll on the Razor Robertson era.
Razor won't change much with the roster he will inherit, and the standard of player comming through isn't as good as the previous
Razor will create a culture & environment that the team can thrive in. NZ definitely have the players and talent
@@Batman-pm2we fvck NZ rugby and fvck ABs fans
I'd love to see Ireland snatch up Justin as a coach in some capacity, if he had any interest. Amazing rugby brain.
Loved the interview. The walk and talk format is excellent Jim… this and the ROG ones are brilliant!! Justin very complimentary and giving a super insight to the game. Sick with nerves for the game on Saturday as I’m Irish. keep em coming!
Excellent discussion and honest analysis, one of the best rugby site in the World at this World Cup. Thankyou boys. Sky made a huge mistake by not including Marshall in their Team at the World Cup. Best Rugby Analyst. Sky have a team of outside backs at the Breakdown who can’t even have constructive criticism of the AB performance.
As an Irish fan it feels like new territory going into a game against the AB’s as slight favourites. I think it will come down to the mental battle and IRE to win by a small margin. Fingers crossed 🤞
Ireland by 15
@@eme1468 Nah AB's by 22 pts!
I think ireland get up by 8-9.
by far the best rapport between two analysts, informative and unbiased.
This upcoming game is the most exciting clash for some time and deserved to be a semi or a final but regardless can't wait for it. Good luck to both teams, hope it lives up to the hype and isn't ruined by penaltys, send offs, poor referring decisions or bad weather. I suspect there won't be a lot of entertaining running rugby, it will be more a slow slog like IRE vs SA was with a lot of kicking. If AB don't win, hope IRE can go on to win the cup.
Justin has that great combo; frankness, experience, love of the game, respect for others, love of his country but honest about needed improvements/changes, confidence but so importantly, not arrogant or blowing smoke up his bum; very entertaining and congrats Big Jim, you do an awesome job of these interviews; so much better than many of the Roundtable/group biased chitchat shows from recognised/big channels.
One of the best Rugby discussions ever. Huge insight. Well done .
These interviews with Big Jim are simply brilliant! Marshall is a great pundit.
Justin bro.. You absolutely make the past ancestors living in the Rugby Heaven so proud of your words. You conveyed your stand as an AB with such integrity and honour that made me feel so much more at one with this nation and the finest athletes (Toa, warriors) we can field on the open arena... Keep being you. Respect from a Northland Native of our wee islands.
Justin Marshall is just a great sportsman and gentleman. He tells it as he sees it even though he would love to see the ABs win.
No chance
Love you Justin and your comments. Your were a fierce competitor, a thorn in many sides and didn’t give an inch to any opponent.
You have the right to say what you think about rugby and how teams play it.
Don’t worry about the NZ broadcasters who don’t appreciate you!
Sad hearing nisbo say the other day "Ill do it as long as sky will let me" wtf.
Justin Marshall you were so wrong on one point....you have more than just one fan ⬛◼◾▪RWC23 - May the best rugby playin' hemisphere win!
Love this interview.
The thing we need to get between our ears is us being favourites.
We ain’t used to that. This is like italia 90 when Ireland changed how we thought about things
This could be massive for us. This weekend, Ireland shows who we are!
The only worry is that this is the first rwc where New Zealand have a free shot . That’s worrying but I believe in my team and the work we’ve done.
So much rugby intelligence. His ability to step back, assess and see where the ABs need to go is amazing. Loved the way he connects with heritage to build confidence that the ABs will dominate world rugby again! Until then the shamrock will prevail :-)
These interviews have been such a highlight of this World Cup. Thanks Jim 👍☘️🏉🔥
.......😭Wont be the same when the RWC is over😭
Marshall is brilliant ! Love the show 🇿🇦
Best interview. Very impressed with Justin's knowledge and wisdom on his subject. As an Irish fan totally unused to our team being in this position I think of how Justin highlights that NZ are also in a situation they are not used to. Whether or not the AB's win on Saturday, they are at a crossroads. In a way, a win on Saturday may stall the changes that are necessary for them to be the best again because the world has caught up with them. But, following Justin's excellent and holistic assessment the AB's will, given the innate talent and passion that exists in NZ, will be back. (They cannot do otherwise). But right now, as Ireland are championing a new way, we can and must beat them on Saturday.
Justin, nailed the description of the current disease in NZ rugby. I see this, as a Kiwi, and not many of my countrymen do. The NZ rugby public believe a form of AB Mythology (often seeing something that is not there); the hierarchy of the game are so completely invested in the brand believing their own marketing hype. Northern rugby has come a long way - as demonstrated by Ireland and France; and by the competition in the 6 Nations. Old NZ rugby heads that spend time in the North can see this and have been vocal about it for some time. But the marketing and hype .... and at times cult of personality, creates a rugby silo in NZ.
My team has some hugely talented high rugby IQ, they can and will pull out a performance that will put any other team to the sword. But they need to learn from the North. ABs game structure tends to be too gladiatorial .."winning the contact" etc .... which often does not work with a team stacked with larger humans. The mindset that Kiwis are somehow special has recently been put into perspective - and this has been entirely missed by the public. My people are crazy enthusiastic, and you have to love that, but enough is enough.
I wish the ABs well, with all my heart, always have since that first game I listened to on the 'wireless' at about 4am in the morning, countless decades ago. I hope they can get through - it would be nice for Fozzie to take that away with him. I just don't think the ABs can get it done this time. The game ... our game ... has moved on. Others are now better at it. Time to grow up, take on the responsibility ... and take it back. Through real learning and real 'mahi' ... not cultural hype.
Excellent comment my friend. I'd say best of luck to the ABs if I wasn't an Irish man. Hope you win the trophy if we don't.
@@bordercollie1140 that is very kind. i think 🤨. It is what it is bro. enjoy.
@@marksharman8029 It was definitely meant to be kind. Best of luck 🥝.
@@bordercollie1140 I know it was mate, just letting you know that we are up for it. You know, a bit of banter. Love your team, they are amazing.
@@marksharman8029 Cheers mate!!!
Gosh, one of the best interviews I have watched! Justin says the way it is with no bias and complementary to both sides. I believe Ian Foster still coaches as an assistant coach! Captaincy will have a major impact on the game and Sam isn't quite there. Many New Zealanders are picking Ireland to win and rightfully so! It's interesting most commentators are talking about individual All-Black players and if they are at their best but Ireland talks about the team. That pretty much says it all because it's a team sport! Come the end of the day, it would be great for the sport, for a different team to win the cup!
All-Blacks gave us a 73-0 a$$ whooping that we were expecting to get. But please don't try take the Haka away from us. That was the highlight of the game for us! Heck, probably the highlight of the tournament, alongside the Namibia win. Watching the All-Blacks perform that before a rugby game is an honor. That experience will stay with us forever. Good luck tomorrow vs Ireland.
"Fear isn't the right word, its uncertainty" that makes so much sense
Marshy, Hoggy,Burger, ROG all class interviews kudos to Jim Hamilton excellent work and really entertaining
I'm Irish and love the Haka, it's one of the traditions that make our sport great and should never be gotten rid of. Take the challenge and meet it head on, win lose or draw rugby is better with the Haka than without
Makes New Zealand players look silly tho
Great interview and breakdown boys, feeling' it, from a Dublin man in NYC, also by the sounds of other interviews it sounds like there needs to be more competitions in New Zealand. It was definitely the place to go learn for the past 100 years & no one can take that away from you. But I'm routing for the boys as I have done my whole life, 53 years now, we deserve one and I'm looking forward to some top class running, passing, tackling, scoring, lets go Shamrocks ☘☘☘
Another great chat. Looking forward to all the games this weekend but especially the Ire v NZ one. I think it's going to be especially physical, surpassing the SA v Ire clash a few weeks ago.
Some of the NZ players are quite bullish about their prospects, judging by some of their comments in the press conferences in the last few days. I think they have a steely determination about them and from an Irish perspective, that worries me. I think Joe Schmidt will have devised a few "trick" plays for this game too. That said, Ireland aren't lacking motivation either and both their defence and attack have been very good.
I really can't call the result. I see it 50/50. The first few minutes of the game will be really interesting - Ireland like to start fast and impose their gameplan on the match and get points on the board early. But so do NZ - it's one of aspect of their current play that I think they've adopted from Ireland. A fascinating match in prospect. Nothing against NZ but I hope Ireland win - they're an excellent side who've been great to watch over the last few years in my opinion.
It's going to be inches that decide it 50 50 ....who ever gets the early momentum has got a great chance .Im English but as a rugby fan first and foremost .love both sides,but I'd like Ireland to win the cup.
I predict Justin will be New Zealand’s number 1 pundit when this is over. He is the most authentic
He lost his job, mate. He used to be the commentary play-by-play guy up until a year or two ago. I don’t know what happened. He’s by far the best.
He is the most hated pundit at home, he was a great player, but he tends to go out of his way to talk up other teams, seemingly to not be accused of being one eyed talking about teams he has played for (and I say this as a Cantabrian). There was an online petition here a few years ago to get rid of him off SKY Sport's commentary team - it got tens of thousands of signatures.
@@Hellknight27 Objectivity in sports commentary is a rare thing.
@@Hellknight27I always loved his commentary, Kiwis don't like loud people
@@Hellknight27wow. NZders did not appreciate him being impartial. That's horrible.
Thanks you guys for your input and it was a real insights into the pass & this World cup. Justin's knowledge and wisdom is a great ambassador for the sport,I only wish we could get Keith Quinn & Justin together would make the best commentary team. I went over to the world cup in 1999 first time to Cardiff and we all no what happen and now we are selling off the AB's piece by piece, were to from here. Razor got has work cut out for him but he is the best man for the job
Irishman here....really like Justin as a pundit , wears his heart in his sleeve which is why Sky probably didn't contract him for their coverage, he is not afraid to speak his mind unlike the panel on the Sky NZ breakdown show!
the Breakdown show is an embarrassment, but Marshall as a commentator wasn't always accurate and got things wrong to often.
This is the first time I've actually seen him give an accurate assessment.
As an AB supporter if Ireland win I really do hope they lift the cup
Another AWESOME Interview - quality guests and questions - the amble makes them ramble! and it's great. Keep it up Jim :)
Love Justin Marshall, absolute legend from a South African supporter!
Jim, you have got these interviews down to a fine art. Loved every single one I've listened to.
Best commentator in the business.
Very enjoyable, informative interview. Props to Justin Marshall & Jim.
How good is the interview setting, the cameraman, the editing, the interviewer and of course the interviewee.
Must admit I'd become a bit cynical about the Haka but hearing JM's words on it, kinda appreciate it again i think..
Can see Ireland walking away with this one. And that is incredible to say, given my lifetime and what NZ have done. This game 'feels' so much like NZ vs France in Cardiff. As an attempted soothsayer - I honestly think that their hardest game will be the semi-final, whoever they get. I feel like, if they beat NZ, the entire momentum and expectation will shift entirely, and it will become a disappointment if they don't win (and also they'll go into the semi-final as MASSIVE favourites). Argentina have the QF knockout to scare Ireland with. So do Wales. And both will make their lives absolute hell in that semi-final. So much so, I think they might, as marshy says, go inside themselves a bit. But, as a Welsh fan, I think they'll get through it all. And I really hope I see the mother of all finals (OK, I'd obviously prefer Wales!), Ireland vs France. Bon chance Iwerddon!
I think Ireland are going to come unstuck....
Good job wales was on that side of the groups, there not as good as previous Welsh teams by far.
Ireland are winning the WC. Is that simple..no one can stop us. It's over.
@@TheGeneral_LUFCmany a slip between the cup and lip…
History would suggest your right hah! But it can count for little at times. I feel like they 'owe' the all blacks for the last world cup, and that could be dangerous for NZ@@babu7141
What an excellent format. Kudos to the camera-man & sound guy, making this a very natural conversational style interview with great scenery. The walk'n'talk style focuses the viewer on the content of what they're saying without distracting or shutting one's attention span down. The laconic delivery of the interviewers questions adds to the rhythm of the interview. It feels like the viewer is actually there, walking alongside them while they talk.
Absolutely very honest breakdown .Great show all four of the TOP TEAMS deserve to be world champions
most honest rugby interview ever, brave comments from JM , AB legend
Fantastic video. I just love Jim Hamiltons ability to interview guests.
As an Irish fan
We still have plenty of hurt left ..
How many times have you beaten us
Knocked us out of the last wc ..
46-14
We have hurt too
Yes, you're hurt. However no other team has had the aura about them that the ABs have had. This lack of winning is hurting them much more 💚💛🇿🇦
I think Ireland should drop Sexton he’s there weak link ,he’s fragile and old . France v ABs final.
@@eamonndoyle136spot the munster man 😅
No one is stopping us. This is Ireland's WC. We're no.1 in the world for a reason. This is our time.
@@eamonndoyle136lay off the meth lad.
Great series of videos. When we had lomax, retallic, and frizzel in the RC our forwards were so much better and taking ion SA just fine - so happy to finally hear all are back for this game
Great conversation lads and what a beautiful place you're in.
Marshall, great rugga ambassador. Loving his life in SA🇿🇦
Fair play lads. It's been a real pleasure listening to youse. Really enjoying this world cup. And even an old thicko like myself is getting abit of rugby knowledge lol 😂😂😂😂
Jim is so good at running these interviews. I'm watching and I'm hooked.
Being enjoying the Rugby Pass candid and engaging insights. Having retired elite players banner between themselves is so refreshing, unbias and has been a great compliment to the Workd Cup.
Loved this give and take. Thanks guys.
Once again Marshy is spot on .... Big game for ABs i do worry about our directness at the breakdown. Ireland are the benchmark at present.
When Justin was still playing, any time the AB's didn't play him against our Boks, I would breath a sigh of relief. He was such a great player. Now he has turned into a genuine great on the speaking head circuit of Rugby too. Much respect Mr. Marshall, Sir.
Another superb interview. Really enjoyed these.
Outstanding interview yet again by big JH with a legend of the game in JM.
16:10 Ronan O'Gara helped and transformed how the crusaders play. Joe schmidt was Also in Leinster and Ireland. But i agree not sending out coaches is like biting off your nose to spite your face.
Good analysis by JM about when the ABs went into decline i.e. the Lions Tour. There has been no indication or innovation for that matter as far as I can see that demonstrates that we know how to negate Ireland's, France's or South Africa's aggressive defence. That's on the coaches. Foster banging on about how other teams need to adopt an attacking mind set doesn't give me any confidence that we will be able to cope with the pressure Ireland bring this weekend. I hope I'm wrong and it's not beyond the character of these ABs to pull one out of the bag.
Many happy memories of waking up early on a Saturday to watch Marshall and Mehrtans for the Crusaders years ago. Glad he seems as much of a legend off the field as he was a great player on it.
Keeping the Haka for "big occasions" would be very disrespectful to lesser teams like Italy. If they don't get Haka'd (is that a word?) they will feel like they are being dismissed as unimportant.
Then they should up their game. It's embarrassing how shite they are. Lesser teams would kill for the platform they have yet they do nothing to improve
If there were ever any change to the haka being performed maybe it could be for home games.
In saying that i reckon it fires most teams up. How could it not fire you up facing that.
@@Sylo. yep, something that really helps with interpretation of it is the clip of the NZ basketball team doing it in front of a star-studded USA team stacked with the best paid players in the world. It clearly wasn't about saying "We are stronger, we will destroy you", it's just traditional. I also remember when the All Blacks played Munster and Munster's New Zealanders did their own Haka in response!
I’m an huge Ireland rugby fan, I’m also a big fan of the All Blacks since 95 amd the days of Jonah Lomu. I really hope we can get past you guys tonight, it would be our greatest ever sporting achievement. But, if we dont make it. It will be heartbreaking but I will support the All Blacks all way. Let’s see what happens
very good interview. looking fwd to our big game with the AB's :) going to be a very exciting one
Love this. ❤️ pure tactical analysis 👌 it's going to be one hell of a game. Just can't wait 😊
Fantastic content. Best I've seen
Another quality, enjoyable interview Jim, cheers man. Justin Marshall is a legend, great to get his perspective on the game this weekend and the other topics discussed.
Cannot wait till kick off on Saturday, nerves are the same as before the SA match.
Hopefully, the 15 named yesterday actually start the match on Saturday, I'm looking at you Mack 🤞
Class discussion, well done guys : )
Great convo, brilliant insight. They both forget to mention Joe Schmidt when discussing going out, getting experience elsewhere and coming back; could have a bearing on the weekend that one!
I think Andy Farrell is using this as motivation for the Irish team.
Two realy great blokes👍,come on lreland💪
Excellent! Great questions matched by great answers. More of these two please!
Good interview. JM hurt his career when he confronted Ioane last year. I hope he gets back on track as he only showed his heart. Many bag on him, but I thought his commentary was/is as balanced just like Nesbo. They are the best commentary team & even more so when you hear how biased other commentators are for their team.
Bok fan and have always loved Marshie. Always honest and insightful with a heart of gold.
Best player I've seen live; I was just a boy sat on a wall behind the posts, Justin lead Leeds Tykes to a crushing defeat of Cardiff Blues in the Heineken Cup group stages. I thought I was there to see the return of Jonah Lomu but it was all about Justin marshalling the team - he was everywhere - setting the play, setting up tries, going over himself and even grabbing a drop goal at the start. Mercurial and magnificent.
great interview and great people to have hear their take.
On another note... Its fun to think that little man on the left was able to tackle big boy on the right, Quite impressive
What an amazing breakdown from the two gentlemen . Jim Hamilton is truly a pro interviewer - just love it.
Really great insight from Justin. I’ve watched every single YT interview he’s done during this WC.
I enjoyed this show. Don’t know why JM was released from his Sky contract, he is very insightful
Excellent interview and superb analysis. Passionate about the game but intelligent and unbiased. Exceptional.
JM is a cut above the others. Authentic and fair. His commentaries are full of passion and energy.
