If you look at all the stats over the last 100 years, the fact they have a winning record against every other single team on the planet, tied for the most World Cups, population of only 5 million, they are the greatest team ever in the history of sports teams. The Georgia Bulldogs (back to back College Football Champs in the USA) studied the All Blacks this off season so they could see how the most dominant team ever sustains their domination. There is quite literally nothing like them in any other sport in human history. The haters just end up making themselves look stupid.
77% winning record over 120 years. The only team to do anythingnto rock that stat is south africa at home and even then its 26-25 to south africa, it isnt even close when kiwis are at home. 32-10 to nz, 4-2 to nz in neutral locations. Kiwis, (and other teams) lose in south africa more because of the altitude. (and food poisoning)
Ireland beat them regularily now. Beat them down in New Zealand series last summer. They dont fear them at all anymore because they know they can beat them. Similar populations but Rugby is New Zealands most popular sport where as Rugby is Irelands 4th most popular sport and don't have the luxury of being able to rely on big pacific islanders to improve their team.
@@harryocallaghan8082 mate, you needed our coaches in order to learn how to win. 🤷🏾♂️ NZ is the epi center for islanders, Māori's are islanders. There's more islanders then white people in NZ. AND in 120 years of playing Ireland.. you've won 5 times. We've won 6x that amount.
@@harryocallaghan8082 first of all, NZ were undefeated against Ireland for how many years? Whats their record overall vs NZ? Get to 50% and then we will talk. You caught us at a low moment when you came down here, you deserved it but it would not happen again I gaurantee you. It's no longer a new-ish coach trying new formulas with new players. Look what we just did to South Africa. The whole pacific Island thing is a load of bollocks and you know it. What pacific Islanders were helping us 70-100 years ago when we were STILL smashing the likes of England and Ireland. The funny thing is teams like England and Ireland are using Pacific Islanders aswell these days so what's your point?
Yet they can only struggle to win by 3 points against an unknown Australian team pretty well untested as well , these Aussies will get better as they get along and can be kept as a team unit , keep these Aussies together and there's only one place for them to go ? And it's not the local pub ..
As a South African, I was waiting for this video to come out. If we were counting out Springboks, then this would be my favourite team no doubt. They play like a machine they do everything to perfection. They are almost just like the Springboks they play hard rugby very physical, but after the time they are the nicest people. I'll give an example South Africa against All blacks ( New Zealand ) 2019 rugby world cup, South Africa loses I think 23-13 and Cheslin Kolbe does a prayer after the game, one of the All blacks comes over starts praying with him. Here's another example, Kurt-Lee Aerendse tries to contest a ball in the air but ends up hitting Bauden Barret in the air and Bauden Barret falls on his neck. Aerendse was knocked out, some of the All Blacks go make sure Kurt-Lee Aerendse is ok before checking Bauden Barret. If we were playing against any other team and something like that happened, they would've grabbed Aerendse and try to start a fight. The All Blacks are the most perfect rugby team.
Mate, have you watched France recently? They have also recently won the U20 world championship three years in a row, so the Test side is only going to get better.
@@joeoak8181France definitely in peak form. The only thing I know about the whole balance of power in rugby is that it will always come back to the coaching of the top 15.. Not that I know much about the game but I wonder if France have got enough innovation in a short time to gain the advantages they showed last season. The all blacks aren't just playing well right now they have fixed alot of issues that were getting exploited.
As much as I love the American football here in the States, rugby players are just on a completely different level. Way different game, both brutal, and both awesome.

Every little boy in NZ who plays rugby dreams of being an All Black. Every little boy around the world who plays rugby dreams of playing against the All Blacks. That is the measure of a great team!
The haka at the beginning says it all. We're not here to play a game, we're here to do battle! Most successful sporting team on the planet winning 76% of all test matches played, beaten all comers more than being beaten and dominating world rugby for the last 120 years! Not bad for a country of only 5 million!
It’s not about the winning, it’s the consistency of winning. The ABs have this more than any other team in history. Yeah, they have shit games here and there, but they learn and get back on. People notice the ABs when they lose, not when they win… that in itself, tells you something.
There's just one thing I absolutely dislike about the All Blacks and it's a topic that needs to be brought up more often. And it's how they exploit pacific Island players to take advantage of the eligibility rules and regulations in order to obtain their dominance and it's hurting the game I love, and why the pacific nations will never compete to its highest of standards. Just to name a few, Folau Fakatava could have been Tonga's halfback played 2 games for the AB's, can't play for Tonga for 3+ years once he plays a single game for AB's, nowhere to be seen. Josh Ioane, could have been Samoa's first-5 but played 1 game for AB's now MIA. And Samoa's fullback could have been(drum roll please) Roger tuivasa-sheck😭. Just to name a few others that could have built their legacy with their island nation, Augustine pulu(2 games), George moala(4 games) Soseni Anesi(1 game)Asofa Aumua(8 games) and most recently Samisoni finau who just debuted against wallabies not selected for world cup squad, can't play for Tonga for atleast 3 years. The All Blacks would fall and crumble without the pacific Island players and they know that to exploit the system to their advantage is the only way to stay on top, sad but true.
@@Navigator_Islethat’s true. But those guys have option to opt out of playing for ABs. And the majority now playing are actually nz born Pacific Islanders! But I get u
@sirmichael9354 You act like these players just get a spot on the team fresh off the boat. That's not the case at all these players have to go through all stages of rugby before they can play for the all blacks. Starting at grass roots club rugby. They have to earn it. Also NZs hardly the only country to do this I see kiwis and islanders playing in plenty of teams. Shit I remember watching Japan play and more than half of there team were kiwis! Funny, I don't remember being a sovereign nation of Japan
@@Navigator_Islestfu. No ones guaranteed a black jersey and if you don’t work hard enough to keep it then you lose it just like anything else in life. Also the athletes make the choice and thank god their choices don’t align with your shitty opinion.
If I was a New Zealander I'd put the link to this video on my tombstone, my business card and the birth cert of my 1st born child. Since I'm a Saffer though, I'll only give it 3/10 😂. Jokes aside, what a team 👏🏻
The same for the Springboks for Kiwis. But I hate most Saffa fans though. Disrespectful and delusional. You're all good though. You actually have some class.
@@JaemanEdwards South Africans have pride to the point of no return, I guess its kind of funny I have been out of the county for to long, but currently in france and its very the same. PS IRISH FANS ARE THE BEST JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE
@@skygremory5247 They may be entertaining to drink with, but for the disrespect those classless Leprechauns showed to the haka, I'll never ever respect them. It's an Irish and English thing to disrespect the haka. It's something in their genes. In their moral fibre. They are shallow, non spiritual, dishonourable people of no substance, who care not for other cultures. No other countries do this. Scotland, Wales, France, Argentina, and South Africa are all respectful nations who understand the significance of this 130 year old hallowed rugby tradition, and meet the challenge with honour.
Look. They are just sublime at times. Just absolutely outstanding. As a bok fan let’s not get into a p/ss:ng match. They match you physically but they outclass with kicking, off loads, passing, gap finding, speed, agility. They just are not as one dimensional. Yes springboks always bring the power and the fear and you know it will be physical and that’s great. But the scoreboard after 80 minutes is always the AB ultimate goal. Anyway I could be stating nonsense but I mean over the years they keep winning most of the time, so clearly their guile and fitness and finesse trumps boks power. But bok culture of brutality won’t change because it works, except against all blacks. Yussis we won the World Cup 2019, but lost to the all blacks… I really don’t know hey
Yes sounds pretty accurate to me lol and I think SA was the only team our Beloved Jonah Lomu never scored a try against, just another testament of how hard and physical the Boks are size doesn’t matter you are gonna get smashed for 80 minutes lol ✊
As a Springbok supporter, I am SUPER jealous of the ABs. They play a risky brand of rugby that delights fans and, more often than not, pays off. It was tough this last World Cup as our forwards didn't have the ascendency they once had.
For me the All Blacks are so important to rugby not just because of how good they have been throughout the years but the way they play shows how skilful, delicate and athletic the game can be when played a certain way. The game looks so much more fun when they are playing than it does when any of the European teams play!
5.2m pop', Of that 2.6m male, Of that 600 clubs, 28,600 adult men to pick from. You get picked and put the Black jersey on... You are said to become Super Man. Just those numbers alone are amazing, but to stay at the Top of rugby is simply remarkable
This is my worst team! As a saffa they the only team we can’t get a measure in and they have our number even when we they not as strong. Irritates me to no end. Definitely greatest rugby team and maybe the greatest sports team. Can’t think of anyone else right now.
My greatest memories as a boy are getting up in the wee hours and watching the ABs play the Boks. Sorry everyone else, but these two team's play the game differently to the rest of the world...
@MBCGRS I have 3 relatively older brothers, and I too have the sweetest, greatest memories as a wee girl getting up in the "middle of the night" to watch (or being there!) when the ABs played test matches on the other side of the world. The deafening waaah's of the enormous crowds (nothing like we had here at the time) and in particular the famous Scottish commentator (he was called the voice of Rugby?) who has passed away now, but his voice is what I remember the most. I guess, as our father died when I was 14, hearing that commentator's voice almost brings me to tears triggering those memories, as did your comment! Back then, the Springboks were unable to participate, and for many years, due to the SA apartheid laws. This created an air of mystery and a mythical belief that yeah, we were good, but the Springboks were the greatest rugby players in the world! I get it is the professional era today and players have to be paid, but I often think how sad it is that not every child has that privilege now (if their families can't afford Sky) of getting up at 2 - 3am, the excitement and the dreams of becoming a Mighty All Black that every NZ boy could have back then.
@JaemanEdwards France are a monkey we got off our back two world cups ago... They now hold the RWC Chokers title... 9 times quarter finalists, 3 finals, still no cup...
Yes, we all know what happened in the past. If you look at the stats regarding the French and the ABs, you will see why I considered the ABs and the BoKs to rock this world. If you're looking for a team to fear, consider the Irish.
@@johnoneill2986 the French can never be consistent that's why they're not in the conversation. they could lose to the abs by 40 points win the next match and then lose by 40 again.
The greatest sports team in the history of the universe. 80% win rate for 150 years. From a little remote country. They also play (arguably) the most exciting rugby, not just winning rugby. They got their name because a reporter was trying to write in a newspaper that they were all BACKS, but wrote blacks instead. And today they still play that fast paced flashy game. I’m not religious or superstitious but there’s something supernatural about the boys in black.
@@pita3908 I’d say like 30% of boys will play organised rugby at some point in their lives, and everyone plays it for fun occasionally. But South African school boy rugby is better than New Zealand school boy rugby. Not as much better as they’ll have you believe but better.
Through our History, from Warriors & Highly Respected Soldiers of War & Our Deer & Cattle farmers, with the typography of our land we Breed some Naturally Hard Men used to hard work n hard knocks.
NZ is a multi cultural society like anywhere else in the world. Yes we do have players from around the pacific islands playing for the ABs. If you have the talent and skill set to be able to adorn the black jersey and play for the ABs kudos to you. Wearing the most coveted jersey in the world of rugby is a privilege and they deserve all the rewards it brings you. Remember every team eventually loses and rugby is won or lost not by what record books tell you, but how well each team battles on the day for 80minutes makes the least errors and are more disciplined will normally prevail and what’s on the score board at the end. After that who cares. Let the winners celebrate and the losers find solace of what could of been until they do battle again. KIA KAHA ABs this RWC from all Kiwis in Texas
The All Blacks's greatest two strengths are their physical and mental conditioning. The number of times they have won in the last 10 minutes just because they're still pushing hard and haven't mentally given up is crazy. They believe they can win in almost any circumstance and literally wear their opponents down.
Note many of these times were when Richie was in charge. I believe he learned from losing to the French in important WC matches, and found belief in invoking plan b or c. His teams believed and it showed in the last 10
I played rugby through the 80's and 90's including the UK in the early 90"s. As a little lad coming up through the system, we were always taught to attack when your saw a weakness or an opportunity against the opposition , no matter the field position, you just pounced, like a cat on prey. I remember a game in the UK and I was playing 2nd five and we had a massive overlap and the first five was about to kick and I screamed "Go Wide". I think it is an innate consciousness but the rest of the world is catching-up 🙂
The whole Country dreams of playing for the All Blacks.... Kiwi know no fear.... This game is played in Heaven....God loves this game.... This is a Real Mans game
I have watched most of their games over the past 50yrs, they have allways been the Game Changer, striving to be better at all aspects. Gracious Winners & Humbly Respectful losers. Simply, the Best of the Rest!
The All Blacks team of Aotearoa a.k.a New Zealand will forever be the best in the world. Our boys are true warriors on and off the field I'm really proud of our team because even when we don't win we remain humble and that's a win in itself.
With todays Coaches & Training styles, Finesse, Agility & Speed are as equally important as is Ongoing Dogged Brutal Strength aspects the World Champion All Blacks are profound in!
Every Rugby Nation's desire is to Win, for Us New Zealanders its an Expectation to win. Our Desire is the Maintaining of the Legacy of the Black Jersey... lts as Black and White as that.
Probably Antoine Dupont. My fave is try scoring machine, All Blacks great, Justin Marshall. He was an attacking threat. Just like Antoine. I'd put Nuggie 2nd, with Graeme Bachop 3rd on the All Blacks all time list.
@@JaemanEdwards I like dupont, top player. I just think Aaron smith has this simple but rare ability to get to the breakdown and supply stupidly quick ball through laser pinpoint passing is unmatched
@@yaboi5509 No one in rugby history has a more precise and accurate pass than Aaron Smith. You will never see him throw a bum pass. But he is almost strictly a supplier who welds the forwards and backs together masterfully. But apart from support, he isn't an attacking threat in his own right. Justin Marshall was the prototype to the Antoine Dupont style halfback. He scored 24 tries for the All Blacks in a lot less tests than Aaron Smith did it in. Marshall was a menace in broken play. I beleive modern rugby is heading towards this type of half back. They have good core halfback skills, but are attacking threats in their own right. Fast and powerful with a nose for the tryline. Players like Cam Roigard, Folau Fakatava, and the Chiefs Cortez Ratima.
earliest memories of watching the all blacks, my old man waking me at 2am, black and white tv with shit reception, live from the other side of the world. Somehow I knew this was important and to be there with my dad
As a Kiwi and AB fan, any team is only as good as it’s last game. Which we mangled, but barely managed to win. However, if you look at win/loss ratios against any/every country in the world, then the NZ ABs do have the best record by a large margin.
What an awesome video bro. Grinning ear to ear 😂 Choice and we've got our team together for the rwc 2023, so All the very best brothers. Lessgo!!! UP THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS 💪😎🇳🇿👍
The All Blacks winning records and statistics for #1 world ranking is phenomenal, there’s nothing I love watching more than seeing my team play against the AB’s. #Bok2023WC
Wow a respectful Saffa. Well done. I've just read about 20 Saffas disrespecting the All Blacks. It's no wonder Saffa fans are the most hated in world rugby. You sir have some class.
What a great video of an indeed great team in the history of the game of rugby. It took the Irish not SA to fuzzle their world bit in 2022 in their history. But as always they're back with a vengeance hoping to win the 2024 RWC.
Every international team that hopes to dominate rugby union has to be physically agressive at the tackle and break down . Thats goes without saying. They have to be proficient at the key set pieces, scrum, line outs, kickoffs and have to have a effective exit plan from the red zone That applies to all teams regardless. Beyond that teams have different styles in which they like to play. NZ is renowned for its expansive, mobile game using width as an attacking option. This results in great highlight reels for the non enthusiast. The Springboks on the other hand have always relied on a a big set of power forwards who attempt to bully oppositions into submission. Even their backs although highly skilled tend to be very physical and combative. To be the best you need a mixture of approaches and when NZ isnt quite competing they tend often to be too helter skelter and lack forward aggression while the Boks on the other hand can become too one dimensional ,rely too much on the forward pack whilst struggling to put attacking tries together.
And yet as an AB supporter I still fear South Africa. They have the best record against the ABs and still claim 3 rwc titles yet did not play in all of them!
❤ A proud Kiwi...All Blacks to me is WINNING, and it is very hard to accept LOOSING as a A.B Stormtrooper loyal supporter. We can be a harsh bunch when our team gets defeated BUT..... The odds of this happening is low. Backing our team for the 2023 RWC in France, and hopefully make it a 4peat as RWC Champions...GO THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS ❤
All blacks is the perfect example of absolute perfection and well discipline. They play full 80min no matter whether they are behind or not they always stay focused and in the game, you give them the tiniest bit of slack and they’ll make you pay for it big time. They’re not the best sports team in history for no reason.
We in the anglo-sphere/5 Eyes alliance need to declare, NZ might be the littlest brother, but they're the best brother. This little island country in the middle of nowhere owns their sports of sailing and rugby... OWN. The sports belong to them, even more than baseball to the US, hockey to Canada or what have you. This little country full of class acts and can-dos with high competency throughout the islands, just dominate the rest of the world!
As Bok supporter ,i dont think ABs are the most feared ,just definitely most respected and masters of the game . I personally think the Boks are still the most feared team cause of their brutality. But when the Boks and ABs always play ,its is the best rugby on the planet . ABs will always be the team to beat and all teams want to . Mssive respect to them and see all in the WC this year . Boks for Life.
As a Kiwi, I think the French, All Blacks, and Springboks are equally feared. The All Blacks pack gave the much vaunted bok forwards all they could handle in that last game. Sth Africa are known for their brutal, attritive rugby. But don't flatter yourselves too much. The All Blacks never fear the Springboks. And neither do the fans. The French on the other hand.. Have us concerned.
@@JaemanEdwards Yeah, the French! You can beat them 70 - nil three times in a row then the one game that counts falls on the French president's mistress's birthday or something and you don't have a chance!
I think the only thing going against SA, is they have only become in my opinion as physical as they are in the last few years. They used to do alot of kicking...and i mean ALOT.... so they were not feared. The All Blacks however, since the dawn of time have made teams shit themselves in wait as they know, relentlessness is about to come at their defensive line, and for a whole 80mins, buckle up.... But yeah as a Kiwi fan SA worry me alot more the last couple of years than they did previously.
yeah that's what i'm seeing we are just going along nicely still, we gotta go close to full strength for SA at Twickers in a couple of weeks, cant afford to drop any games now, just keep going..
@@ShutterKnack Nz has 62 wins over South Africa . South Africa only has 38 wins over Nz. The All blacks have slapped SA more times than your dad did your mom😂
ABs on fire at the moment (even the ABs b-side). But World Cup is always different. As a Kiwi I sure hope the come out on top. But the Boks, Ireland, France are all massive threats. Even so-called 2nd-tier sides like Argentina, Australia, Wales, and Scotland are all world cup threats on their day. This will be the most competitve world cup ever.
As a kiwi the abs team from 2007 to 2015 was unstoppable 2013 the perfect season undefeated first country to go back 2 back rugby world champs 2011-2015
I think this All Blacks team was better but through erratic coaching, and the harsher laws these days, they were never quite fully unlocked. Razor I believe has the key. And Ardie must be captain. I'd also favour Big Papa over Sam Cane. He just offers more variety as well as being a strong defender himself. And definitely bring in Fakatava and Sean Stevenson.
Dane Coles and Aaron Smith both lead a mean haka. I bet Cody Taylor could as well. These men carry such mana. Maori warriors. Dane Coles (Maori) 0:03 Rico Ioane (Maori /Samoan) 0:04 and a terrifying Ardie Savea (Samoan) 0:11 Ready for battle.. Badass.

The All Blacks would fall and crumble without the pacific Island players and they know that to exploit the system to their advantage is the only way to stay on top, sad but true.
@@Navigator_Islethat’s true. But those guys have option to opt out of playing for ABs. And the majority now playing are actually nz born Pacific Islanders! But I get u
@sirmichael9354
You act like these players just get a spot on the team fresh off the boat. That's not the case at all these players have to go through all stages of rugby before they can play for the all blacks. Starting at grass roots club rugby. They have to earn it. Also NZs hardly the only country to do this I see kiwis and islanders playing in plenty of teams. Shit I remember watching Japan play and more than half of there team were kiwis! Funny, I don't remember being a sovereign nation of Japan
@@Navigator_Islestfu. No ones guaranteed a black jersey and if you don’t work hard enough to keep it then you lose it just like anything else in life. Also the athletes make the choice and thank god their choices don’t align with your shitty opinion.
If I was a New Zealander I'd put the link to this video on my tombstone, my business card and the birth cert of my 1st born child. Since I'm a Saffer though, I'll only give it 3/10 😂. Jokes aside, what a team 👏🏻
wyntonvisser🤣😂🤣😂good idea, I'm stealing it to put on my grave.
😂 great idea, from a proud maori boy
Haha well said!
Hahaha 3/10s the win loss ratio between the boks and all blacks 3 wins too 10 losses for the boks
We really should stop calling ourselves "Saffa" that's a kak name. We are the Bokke!! FFS
Best team in the world + the most humble and genuine players. Forever a NZ supporter 🤍🤍
Are you Kiwi ?
All Blacks have god level ball handling, thus making them masters of stringing phases together as well as dynamic broken play.
Greatest sports team of all time.
I love my All Blacks. 80 years old and still love them. Arohanui All Blacks xx
Respect to you Raewyn
Love this Montague. As a All Black Fan since Birth appreciate the effort it took to put this together. Well done.
Romeo is the best Montague.
It's the culture of our country we are born into a country that bleeds rugby from when we are born
The All Blacks will always be in every South Africans heart amazing team amazing players and kind souls
The same for the Springboks for Kiwis. But I hate most Saffa fans though. Disrespectful and delusional. You're all good though. You actually have some class.
@@JaemanEdwards South Africans have pride to the point of no return, I guess its kind of funny I have been out of the county for to long, but currently in france and its very the same. PS IRISH FANS ARE THE BEST JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE
@@skygremory5247 They may be entertaining to drink with, but for the disrespect those classless Leprechauns showed to the haka, I'll never ever respect them. It's an Irish and English thing to disrespect the haka. It's something in their genes. In their moral fibre. They are shallow, non spiritual, dishonourable people of no substance, who care not for other cultures.
No other countries do this. Scotland, Wales, France, Argentina, and South Africa are all respectful nations who understand the significance of this 130 year old hallowed rugby tradition, and meet the challenge with honour.
This is the greatest montage video on the internet. You did an amazing job here, you should be super proud.
Look. They are just sublime at times. Just absolutely outstanding. As a bok fan let’s not get into a p/ss:ng match. They match you physically but they outclass with kicking, off loads, passing, gap finding, speed, agility. They just are not as one dimensional. Yes springboks always bring the power and the fear and you know it will be physical and that’s great. But the scoreboard after 80 minutes is always the AB ultimate goal. Anyway I could be stating nonsense but I mean over the years they keep winning most of the time, so clearly their guile and fitness and finesse trumps boks power. But bok culture of brutality won’t change because it works, except against all blacks. Yussis we won the World Cup 2019, but lost to the all blacks… I really don’t know hey
Once apon a time it was the opposite, bokkes known for exiting 15 rman ugby and flair, and the abs 10 man rugby grinders... All changed during 80s
The greatest games are between the All Blacks and the Springboks - so many absolute classics over the years!
Well said and accurate I would say. Much repeat to our greatest rivals the stalwart and skilled boks from a kiwi.
Yes sounds pretty accurate to me lol and I think SA was the only team our Beloved Jonah Lomu never scored a try against, just another testament of how hard and physical the Boks are size doesn’t matter you are gonna get smashed for 80 minutes lol ✊
As a Springbok supporter, I am SUPER jealous of the ABs. They play a risky brand of rugby that delights fans and, more often than not, pays off.
It was tough this last World Cup as our forwards didn't have the ascendency they once had.
For me the All Blacks are so important to rugby not just because of how good they have been throughout the years but the way they play shows how skilful, delicate and athletic the game can be when played a certain way. The game looks so much more fun when they are playing than it does when any of the European teams play!
They are the very best....ALL BLACKS ❤
5.2m pop', Of that 2.6m male, Of that 600 clubs, 28,600 adult men to pick from. You get picked and put the Black jersey on...
You are said to become Super Man. Just those numbers alone are amazing, but to stay at the Top of rugby is simply remarkable
The abs are the benchmark in rugby and there is no denying that
This is my worst team! As a saffa they the only team we can’t get a measure in and they have our number even when we they not as strong. Irritates me to no end. Definitely greatest rugby team and maybe the greatest sports team. Can’t think of anyone else right now.
i thought the springboks version of this was bad ass, damn well done 🦌🦌🦌🟩🟩🟩🏆🏆🏆🏆
The opening montage gave me chills, nice edit man!
We love our ABs and when they are on they are ON -)
I'm loving how you edited the music to the hits. Top notch, my friend.
My greatest memories as a boy are getting up in the wee hours and watching the ABs play the Boks. Sorry everyone else, but these two team's play the game differently to the rest of the world...
@MBCGRS I have 3 relatively older brothers, and I too have the sweetest, greatest memories as a wee girl getting up in the "middle of the night" to watch (or being there!) when the ABs played test matches on the other side of the world. The deafening waaah's of the enormous crowds (nothing like we had here at the time) and in particular the famous Scottish commentator (he was called the voice of Rugby?) who has passed away now, but his voice is what I remember the most.
I guess, as our father died when I was 14, hearing that commentator's voice almost brings me to tears triggering those memories, as did your comment!
Back then, the Springboks were unable to participate, and for many years, due to the SA apartheid laws. This created an air of mystery and a mythical belief that yeah, we were good, but the Springboks were the greatest rugby players in the world!
I get it is the professional era today and players have to be paid, but I often think how sad it is that not every child has that privilege now (if their families can't afford Sky) of getting up at 2 - 3am, the excitement and the dreams of becoming a Mighty All Black that every NZ boy could have back then.
As a Kiwi, France are the All Blacks greatest rivals in the modern era. The Springboks were our greatest rivals in the old days.
@JaemanEdwards France are a monkey we got off our back two world cups ago... They now hold the RWC Chokers title... 9 times quarter finalists, 3 finals, still no cup...
Love Our boys. We breed them tough, unbreakable yet humble. A winning combination even when they lose, which they never take lightly.
11:57 からの流れキレイすぎる！！！
My total respect to NZ…wonderful stuff!
That felt like it was put together by a professional better than anything sky does, excellent work Mr Die Hard.
As an AB fan, I only see 2 teams that rock this world and they're the Abs and the Boks!
Never, ever, count out the French. We've learnt that the hard way!
Yes, we all know what happened in the past. If you look at the stats regarding the French and the ABs, you will see why I considered the ABs and the BoKs to rock this world. If you're looking for a team to fear, consider the Irish.
@@johnoneill2986 the French can never be consistent that's why they're not in the conversation. they could lose to the abs by 40 points win the next match and then lose by 40 again.
@@sidknee4975 they've consistently knocked us out of more Rugby World Cups than any other country!
You forgot about France and Ireland.
This team always has been and always will be full gangster 🔥🔥🔥 best sports team to ever exist.
The greatest sports team in the history of the universe. 80% win rate for 150 years. From a little remote country. They also play (arguably) the most exciting rugby, not just winning rugby. They got their name because a reporter was trying to write in a newspaper that they were all BACKS, but wrote blacks instead. And today they still play that fast paced flashy game. I’m not religious or superstitious but there’s something supernatural about the boys in black.
what do they feed their kids, these kids are kicking rugby balls at 5..
@@pita3908 I’d say like 30% of boys will play organised rugby at some point in their lives, and everyone plays it for fun occasionally. But South African school boy rugby is better than New Zealand school boy rugby. Not as much better as they’ll have you believe but better.

NZ is a multi cultural society like anywhere else in the world. Yes we do have players from around the pacific islands playing for the ABs. If you have the talent and skill set to be able to adorn the black jersey and play for the ABs kudos to you. Wearing the most coveted jersey in the world of rugby is a privilege and they deserve all the rewards it brings you. Remember every team eventually loses and rugby is won or lost not by what record books tell you, but how well each team battles on the day for 80minutes makes the least errors and are more disciplined will normally prevail and what’s on the score board at the end. After that who cares. Let the winners celebrate and the losers find solace of what could of been until they do battle again. KIA KAHA ABs this RWC from all Kiwis in Texas
The All Blacks's greatest two strengths are their physical and mental conditioning. The number of times they have won in the last 10 minutes just because they're still pushing hard and haven't mentally given up is crazy. They believe they can win in almost any circumstance and literally wear their opponents down.
Note many of these times were when Richie was in charge. I believe he learned from losing to the French in important WC matches, and found belief in invoking plan b or c. His teams believed and it showed in the last 10
Just ask an Australian how many times the ABs have beaten them in the las five minutes or even after the 80min.
Never underestimate the All Blacks ability to create magic
Fun fact, All Blacks are the most dominant sports team ever and it's not even close.
They maintain close to an 80% win rate over the last 100+ years.
I played rugby through the 80's and 90's including the UK in the early 90"s. As a little lad coming up through the system, we were always taught to attack when your saw a weakness or an opportunity against the opposition , no matter the field position, you just pounced, like a cat on prey. I remember a game in the UK and I was playing 2nd five and we had a massive overlap and the first five was about to kick and I screamed "Go Wide". I think it is an innate consciousness but the rest of the world is catching-up 🙂
Goosebumps.
They'll come back this year !!! THE REAL CHAMPIONS OF ALL TIME !!!
The whole Country dreams of playing for the All Blacks.... Kiwi know no fear.... This game is played in Heaven....God loves this game.... This is a Real Mans game
Real women's game too! The Black Ferns have a win rate around 90%!

The All Blacks are looking pretty good to me, with a lot of depth. I think we might just win the RWC, again. Here’s hoping! Go Black!
Great, love it and the sound track as well !!!!!
The All Blacks team of Aotearoa a.k.a New Zealand will forever be the best in the world. Our boys are true warriors on and off the field I'm really proud of our team because even when we don't win we remain humble and that's a win in itself.

If there was ever a rugby team that we respect it would be SA. Before 2000 it was Aus
Masterfully produced content. Subscribed.
You got me hype
With todays Coaches & Training styles, Finesse, Agility & Speed are as equally important as is Ongoing Dogged Brutal Strength aspects the World Champion All Blacks are profound in!
This team has the highest and longest winning success rate out of All sports. Proud Kiwi here
At 8:12 when Reece dots it down the beat is 🔥🔥🔥
I like when the beat drops on that Julian Savea try where Kieran Read gets taken out after pulling the perfect no look pass.
Every Rugby Nation's desire is to Win, for Us New Zealanders its an Expectation to win.
Our Desire is the Maintaining of the Legacy of the Black Jersey... lts as Black and White as that.
Being 5 million and dominating the sport like that for generations. Uff... they're just wonderful to watch
The reason for our success? Our National Anthem, the haka, and the fact we love black
Man is Aaron smith not the greatest halfback of all time smh he’s still ridiculous now but at his peak he was the definition of flawless
Probably Antoine Dupont. My fave is try scoring machine, All Blacks great, Justin Marshall. He was an attacking threat. Just like Antoine. I'd put Nuggie 2nd, with Graeme Bachop 3rd on the All Blacks all time list.
@@JaemanEdwards I like dupont, top player. I just think Aaron smith has this simple but rare ability to get to the breakdown and supply stupidly quick ball through laser pinpoint passing is unmatched
@@yaboi5509 No one in rugby history has a more precise and accurate pass than Aaron Smith. You will never see him throw a bum pass. But he is almost strictly a supplier who welds the forwards and backs together masterfully. But apart from support, he isn't an attacking threat in his own right.
Justin Marshall was the prototype to the Antoine Dupont style halfback. He scored 24 tries for the All Blacks in a lot less tests than Aaron Smith did it in. Marshall was a menace in broken play. I beleive modern rugby is heading towards this type of half back. They have good core halfback skills, but are attacking threats in their own right. Fast and powerful with a nose for the tryline. Players like Cam Roigard, Folau Fakatava, and the Chiefs Cortez Ratima.
earliest memories of watching the all blacks, my old man waking me at 2am, black and white tv with shit reception, live from the other side of the world. Somehow I knew this was important and to be there with my dad
As a Kiwi and AB fan, any team is only as good as it’s last game. Which we mangled, but barely managed to win.
However, if you look at win/loss ratios against any/every country in the world, then the NZ ABs do have the best record by a large margin.
I live in nz so I am a huge fan of the All Blacks!
What an awesome video bro.
Grinning ear to ear 😂
Choice and we've got our team together for the rwc 2023, so All the very best brothers. Lessgo!!!
UP THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS
💪😎🇳🇿👍
God Bless AB🙏🏽🎓🎓🎓🎓
I'm a Kiwi. They're great, but Richie's squad, circa 2007- 2015, would have crushed them.
That was the best team of all times, so far. AB have some talents now, just fitting in that team.
Richie stole us a world cup, with the help of the referee on the final, but yeah they were great team
The All Blacks winning records and statistics for #1 world ranking is phenomenal, there’s nothing I love watching more than seeing my team play against the AB’s. #Bok2023WC

LEGENDS!!!
What a great video of an indeed great team in the history of the game of rugby.
It took the Irish not SA to fuzzle their world bit in 2022 in their history. But as always they're back with a vengeance hoping to win the 2024 RWC.
Every international team that hopes to dominate rugby union has to be physically agressive at the tackle and break down . Thats goes without saying. They have to be proficient at the key set pieces, scrum, line outs, kickoffs and have to have a effective exit plan from the red zone That applies to all teams regardless. Beyond that teams have different styles in which they like to play. NZ is renowned for its expansive, mobile game using width as an attacking option. This results in great highlight reels for the non enthusiast. The Springboks on the other hand have always relied on a a big set of power forwards who attempt to bully oppositions into submission. Even their backs although highly skilled tend to be very physical and combative. To be the best you need a mixture of approaches and when NZ isnt quite competing they tend often to be too helter skelter and lack forward aggression while the Boks on the other hand can become too one dimensional ,rely too much on the forward pack whilst struggling to put attacking tries together.
Awesome compilation
Great video! 🏉
Some of these offloads, I just can't comprehend. How are they that good?
The secret is in the MANA!
And yet as an AB supporter I still fear South Africa. They have the best record against the ABs and still claim 3 rwc titles yet did not play in all of them!
❤ A proud Kiwi...All Blacks to me is WINNING, and it is very hard to accept LOOSING as a A.B Stormtrooper loyal supporter. We can be a harsh bunch when our team gets defeated BUT..... The odds of this happening is low. Backing our team for the 2023 RWC in France, and hopefully make it a 4peat as RWC Champions...GO THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS ❤
Hey man, what do you use to make your thumbnails. They're always to clean.
All blacks is the perfect example of absolute perfection and well discipline. They play full 80min no matter whether they are behind or not they always stay focused and in the game, you give them the tiniest bit of slack and they’ll make you pay for it big time. They’re not the best sports team in history for no reason.
We in the anglo-sphere/5 Eyes alliance need to declare, NZ might be the littlest brother, but they're the best brother. This little island country in the middle of nowhere owns their sports of sailing and rugby... OWN. The sports belong to them, even more than baseball to the US, hockey to Canada or what have you. This little country full of class acts and can-dos with high competency throughout the islands, just dominate the rest of the world!
NZ also own Timbersports and Shearing (yes it's an international sport).
As Bok supporter ,i dont think ABs are the most feared ,just definitely most respected and masters of the game . I personally think the Boks are still the most feared team cause of their brutality. But when the Boks and ABs always play ,its is the best rugby on the planet . ABs will always be the team to beat and all teams want to . Mssive respect to them and see all in the WC this year . Boks for Life.
As a Kiwi, I think the French, All Blacks, and Springboks are equally feared. The All Blacks pack gave the much vaunted bok forwards all they could handle in that last game. Sth Africa are known for their brutal, attritive rugby. But don't flatter yourselves too much. The All Blacks never fear the Springboks. And neither do the fans. The French on the other hand..
Have us concerned.
@@JaemanEdwards Yeah, the French! You can beat them 70 - nil three times in a row then the one game that counts falls on the French president's mistress's birthday or something and you don't have a chance!
I think the only thing going against SA, is they have only become in my opinion as physical as they are in the last few years. They used to do alot of kicking...and i mean ALOT.... so they were not feared. The All Blacks however, since the dawn of time have made teams shit themselves in wait as they know, relentlessness is about to come at their defensive line, and for a whole 80mins, buckle up.... But yeah as a Kiwi fan SA worry me alot more the last couple of years than they did previously.
They are the most successful team in the world. Thats all teams over all sports ftom a nation of 5 million.......... Let that sink in!
Rugby référence … the masters.
If Springboks didn’t exist, All blacks would be my fav team !
As a Kiwi, I respect the Springboks immensely, but their style of rugby is ugly to watch. Tough as nails no doubt, but not pretty. I like France.
The All Blacks are getting where they need to be at just the right time. France and Ireland peaked too early.
yeah that's what i'm seeing we are just going along nicely still, we gotta go close to full strength for SA at Twickers in a couple of weeks, cant afford to drop any games now, just keep going..

ABs on fire at the moment (even the ABs b-side). But World Cup is always different. As a Kiwi I sure hope the come out on top. But the Boks, Ireland, France are all massive threats. Even so-called 2nd-tier sides like Argentina, Australia, Wales, and Scotland are all world cup threats on their day. This will be the most competitve world cup ever.
As a kiwi the abs team from 2007 to 2015 was unstoppable 2013 the perfect season undefeated first country to go back 2 back rugby world champs 2011-2015
I think this All Blacks team was better but through erratic coaching, and the harsher laws these days, they were never quite fully unlocked. Razor I believe has the key. And Ardie must be captain. I'd also favour Big Papa over Sam Cane. He just offers more variety as well as being a strong defender himself. And definitely bring in Fakatava and Sean Stevenson.
As a kiwi, I reckon the boks are the most feared because of their physicality. NZ is certainly the most respected.
As a Kiwi, I never fear us playing them only the ref of the day.
