FULL GAME: Australia v All Blacks (2023 - Melbourne) 

yeah to a certain extent byt we all know who the fans love to watch. SA vs NZ. I feel like Australia doesn't want to play rugby anymore. They more interested in AFL and RL. Maybe Rugby has become to physical for Australia.

I will always love smashing the aussies but the real battle in rugby heavyweight territory is for sure ABs vs Boks

I agree. The days of Gregan, Horan and epic NZ Australia battles. Grew up watching these. Great games to watch. SA is a hard watch ....always so many stoppages.

AB's vs Oz is more a battle of who has the best players from the PI or descended from the PI in their teams.

@@graemebrown5115 : SA is hard for you to watch only because they have better forwards and get the better of yours. True rugby fans love a forward battle. Nancy boys love the ballerinas in the backline.....they should stick to Sevens or League.

Strange that you are complaining about the England team, because crowd attendance in England watching that style of rugby far exceeds that of either of these two teams, NZ cant fill a ground at home while England can expect the support of thousands of England supporters even when they play on the other side of the world. I know you love to criticise England and the English but on this one you might like to think again.

Dose it really matter.

@@TeToa-ux5oc of course it matter because Dunedin is from New Zealand. While Melbourne is from Australia. Since both New Zealand and Australia are 2 separate countries.

Getting old.

It's called the Haka.

Nothing like soccer.

@@garywagner2466 Actually look into the history. The two sports used to be one and the same. Replace kicking the ball with carrying the ball, and replace the goal with the uprights. Add the score for the try and legalize tackling, and you’re pretty much playing rugby

RWC23 was already over by the time you posted this comment😅

Best game ever no pads, No Helmets, no Gloves, just us against them.

It’s a hooligans game played by gentlemen

Me too but I played rugby as well but lost touch with it. I kind of thought tackling In the nfl was bad but now I really think it's beyond atrocious. I watched some old steel curtain footage and it must be coaching because Jack Lamberts tackling technique was perfect.

Kuck know say as.

You won by 1 point against 14 players for most of the game with a ref and TMO who were shocking with most of the calls going your way.. that's what really happened, it wasn't a depth issue at all.

Boks only scraped past the Pumas by 1 point at Ellis Park in this years championship, sometimes lesser teams actually put up a fight so you are basically just waffling. Boks need more depth than NZ as they need two forward packs to scrape past them.

@@JTAIT-b7g that was a bad game from the Boks, and argentina made the semis of the world cup, where as the wallabies didnt even make the knockouts. NZ didn't have a bad game against the wallabies, it was just showing the depth isnt there. Same as the rugby lesson the Boks gave the ABs at Twickenham when they had just a few starters missing and were completely outplayed by the Boks, further showing that lack of depth as the NZ replacements of those injured players clearly were just not bear the level required, else it wouldn't have been such a blowout win for the Boks 🙂

@@JTAIT-b7g regularly? Since the last world cup last I checked, the mighty Boks have beaten the ABs more times than the ABs have beaten the Boks, even with the Boks regularly rotating their team (like putting malcolm marx in the bench for the Ellis park game after what he did to the ABs the game before at Mbombela)? And also let's not forget the Boks just became the most successful rugby world cup team of all time, the holy grail of rugby, the pinnacle of rugby and general world cup team of all time with a 50% win record of world cups attended. How Did your former coach Steve Hanson do in his last world cup, as you would then clearly think that ABs team is better than this one if this is one of the worst? So the ABs can keep their better head to head record and their "we never lost to Wales record" and the Boks will keep their better world cup record (we all know which record is the preferred in the world of rugby)👌🏻🙂 Maybe ABs should work on their discipline, as they have been outplayed by the Boks in the last 2 games they played when they had 15 men, then go and get a red card, and then use it as an excuse for losing. Discipline is a key element or rugby too 🙂

@@JTAIT-b7g you and I both know it doesnt really matter how a sport is won, its about teams with different styles seeing which style comes out the best and picks up the silverware at the end of the say? How did they 196-0 win against italy work out for the ABs by the end of the world cup? The ABs had the most tries in the world cup, yet still walked away with only the silver medals as their flashy touch style rugby didn't work out so well when it came to the final and Twickenham due to the Boks incredible defense. And when you look head to head, havent the Boks scored more tries against the ABs this year than the ABs against the Boks? So yes very average Boks team when it comes to skill...

League is more physically demanding than Rugby...

You'''re trying to claim that AFL isn't physical???

You only noticed this now

@@nzlemming oh pls, it's nothing compared to Rugby. The old school rugby is a real mans game. This is why SA is so dominant

@David_Lee92 no it's not, it's just another version of 7s. I'd Australia scared of tough guy sports?

There aren’t any “downs” like in NFL, the equivalent in a sense is when the player is down there’s a ruck which is when they players go over the player on the floor to protect the ball but play does not stop. The only stoppages in play are when the ref blows the whistle or when the ball goes out of bounds and they do a lineout (like a throw in from soccer). What they were looking for in the first try was if his knee or part of his body had touched the line or went out of bounds. The second try the AUS player was tackled but since there isn’t a stoppage in play and he still had forward momentum it is still able to score

You can score if you're tackled and your momentum carries you over the line. So not like if you're tackled and roll and crawl your way to the line.

Beforehand.

Yeah, no idea what the gladiator variation of football means, and google didn’t come up with anything, so idk what that is. American football originated from rugby and changed some rules. In rugby you can only pass laterally or backwards, and there’s no downs. Try’s are scored by pressing the ball to the ground in the in-goal area, which is equivalent to the end zone. Try’s are worth 5 points and conversions are an extra 2. Hope this helps!

Your current understanding is nil.

What are you guys talking about

​@@Rugby-q9l What do you mean 🤔

​@AngelaNorranBarbaraSaltPalu this game was played months ago

​@joshhudson7413 so what

@@joshhudson7413 You Can Still Enjoy Watching It Because This Game Was So Cool

Obsessed

Some of their fans dont handle losing very well, especially in world cup finals. We steal hear about the famous Susie from the 1995 world cup, nearly 28 years later!

@@thegoat4124 : I guess they feel stupid because they were recently claiming that they were the best sports team of all time......and now South Africa have won Rugby's greatest prize more often than they have.....not to mention that they almost always choke when playing the RWC away from home.

NZ only won World Cup outside NZ. South Africa have 3 away from home. Boks are the best. Anyway the Springboks were the most feared team before 1992 Nz only became fear in the last 30 years. That's also the reason NZ illegally toured SA in 1986 because they wanted to compete against the best.

@@John-pl8fe : NZ took advantage of the fact that SA had to play affirmative action players for many years. Now the Bok non-white players are all of international quality and the Boks are back to winning those games that matter the most at the RWC.

AUSTRALIAN CRICKET 🏏 TEAM >>> NEW ZEALAND Rugby 🏉 in terms of achievement
