Lote Tuqiri, one hell of a player; created nightmares for Kiwis for many years.

I’ve only just reached the 10th minute and Australia’s 1st try, but I just wish that Australia would have a resurgence of how powerful a team they used to be. They were brilliant and an absolute joy to watch!

[@mariusdavidescu4252]

what a game! good old days of rugby. 80 minutes of continous play, wich we don' t see these days. Modern rugby is about penalty kicks and red cards... Those players were back then a different breed. Miss that time.

[@nasircervantes340]

I love watching these warriors battle it out
All BLACKS all the way!!

[@Cssssssst]

I think this was the first All Blacks vs wallabies game I ever watched. Been an All blacks fan ever since 🔥

And people complain about the ruck today!??

[@chrishodgson2247]

Great to watch an actual Australian side. Not whatever we have these days. Born & Bread 100% is how it's meant to be!!

1:07:45 I've never seen a thropgoal before.

[@aaronmckechnie4467]

Bring back the Free Kick for infringements! So much more ball in play attacking rugby.

[@Huckster-tj9if]

38:30 Hilarious commentary rubbish referring, condemning their Wallabies scrum 😂😅

[@johnnykai1086]

Phil Kearns commentary is so biased, thank goodness Greg ?? pulls him up on a few things. You can be passionate towards your country but good commentary remains objective and supports good rugby.

[@russellfong2537]

Wow the kangaroos commentator are so one sided. You kangaroos lost to the All Blacks 2023

[@Cssssssst]
