I believe this game was a huge psychological boost for the ABs who had lost three tests against South Africa in 2009. The magnitude of this win pushed them forward as they eventually also won the Grand Slam and within a year had also won the World Cup. Looking back now, this win was more important than we ABs fans think....
@@TJ543345 That’s true. But maybe he looked up and saw Conrad and fell over? Kidding of course. But I think it was his turnover that really made the difference
@@chasehenwood6533 The whole team had "food poisoning" and no one investigated that. SA needed that win to help unite the nation so not exactly a shock that the ABs were all playing while ill. Politics need to stay out of sports.
15:28 he got pretty close to the dead ball line, can you just IMAGINE if because of the excitement he dove late and into the dead ball, that would've been hilarious. Anticlimactic as hell lol. But great try by the ABs so late in the game.
@@jackbarns-graham4959 Apparently his kicking percentage is not that bad, it was just that he tends to miss fairly easy ones at crucial times. NZ would have won the Lions series of 2017 if he'd kicked a couple of straight forward penalty goals.
@9:55 How could the line judge not call that forward pass he is right in line with the play? Even Nigel should have been able to call that forward pass.
McCaw, Mealamu, Dan Carter, Nonu, Conrad Smith, Mealamu, Weepu - Wow!! Also Israel Dagg wasn’t in the starting line-up too long but what a game breaker he was!!
"I dont think he can give this" Yes he can. "He's a match winner this young man" aah I think you will find Ma'a Nonu's contribution was the critical factor here . Tony Johnson lets his fanboy tendencies get the better of him once again .
After the game, Dagg copped a blast from Hansen for that arm-in-the-air celebration before he scored. I didn't like it either: Dagg was an All Black, not one of those arrogant England backs on the way to scoring a try who start their arm-up celebration when they're crossing the opposition's 22 line.
Okay. I'm an insane, all in, All Black supporter. It's along stoty but involves my dad. This for me is the stuff dreams are made of. I stopped breathing when McCaw went over in the corner and like a drowning man. I can still feel it. TRY! Carter with the knock forward and two of the tee misses...inexplicable. Smit on his 100 Test could only take Nonu's boot,..I felt for him big time. However, Nonu still has to find his support and ranging up outside was Dagg. A pass just out in front at chest level. Perfect. Then Dagg went and went and went. PUT IT DOWN!!! He put it down...
Boks only have themselves to blame. They ballsed up the scrum in NZ territory when they could've set up for a drop goal to put the game out of reach, then Steyne missed touch on a penalty kick that would've put them deep in NZ territory. Crucial mistakes at crucial times.
@@wikusvanderwesthuizen2849 yeah that was bad shouldn't of been a try tho last try was a deserving try All Blacks still deserved to win that game tho score should of been 24-22 instead of 29-22
I didn't. If it had've been the other way around and it was McCaw playing his hundredth test, I bet you the Boks and their supporters would've been dancing with glee. John Smit was a great player and captain of South Africa, but I've got zero sympathy for him. That's just the way it goes in sport sometimes.
Quiet in 2016 ..SA 15-NZ 55...in 2017..worst shame for the SA ..SA 0-57 NZ..and 2018 with Rassie..SA 30- NZ 32. The all blacks often smashed the springbocks .
@@drisszyani3497 Championship Champions, RWC champions, hammering the POM's who hammered you, Lion and Puma hunters and 5 points up on the rankings, but keep telling yourself that if it calms you.😂
@@petes9524 23-13 ?? In the last match between the both ??😂😂 When did you beat the ABS ??😂😂😂 The all blacks Will smash you like always...remember on your soil..57-0..55-15..32-30..22-20.. A clown team is smashed like this..😂😂😂 I am waiting To you in september and we Will see who Will laugh !! 😂😂😂
I remember being on the edge of my seat during most of this game! Another epic nail biter against the Boks. Pity there had to be a winner. Abs supporter!
Hmmm remember 2019 RWC when The Boks played Japan and after 7 minutes into the game which started at a very fast pace, the NZ commentator said " Look at the Boks hands on knees" and the final score was.......?????
why is it they get away with the 50/50 matches.its like the other teams and the referees are bewildered with the nz/but here we are with the world cup at home with a better record than the best team coming 3rd/but respect always to the all blacks for making rugby exciting/
@@MrAhuapai u right becoz of politics ect and consistancy ect ut taking nothing away from nz although they dont have the difficulties a 25 year old country have to face in sport ect/boks on the day with equal caps and coach caps/will be good for rugby/.go all blacks u d best/i mean the 2nd best
@Lemmy Five Quid ALL LACKS ARE THE BEST NO 2WAYS,BUT LETS BE FAIR/LETS SAY U GIVE LEWIS HAMILTON A LOTUS TO RACE AGAINST LETS SAY kimi a mercedes or a ferrari to alonso ect will he be as good given his team keep changing managers or mechanics/u see where im going/go blacks/to be honest i wont blink in a 2nd to move to nz
Nigel Owens has been an innovator in communication towards players for all rugby refs throughout his career BUT he did not really have balls to make decisions against the AB in numerous times. That forward pass by Israel Dagg was an easy decision to do.
I'm a Boks fan ,but it isn't just the All blacks who enjoy the champions advantage..Nadal in tennis for example can take 1 minute to serve ,when the rule is 25 seconds...It's life, u just have 2 give NZ a proper hiding 2 take the ref out of the equation..Like Ireland did the last 2 games of their series, and the Boks did in Nelspruit..Oja ,Ireland and France really smashed them end of last year as well..Can't blame the refs really, subconsciously they are All blacks fan ,they don't mean 2 make mistakes..That's my hope ,otherwise we have a Hansie Cronje thing going in rugby..
AB rugby, cleanout from the side by no4, forward passes. Boks played crap though but I believe that 2011 was our wc if it wasnt for the Aussie/NZ pact of Mr Lawrence.
This game shows how rugby has evolved and I know that this is a very unpopular opinion, But I just think Dan Carter was extremely overrated as a player. He was a great game manager and kicker (even though he missed a sitter here) but he was far from complete. His handling skills were sub-parr as you can see his passes lack zip in all of his games (unheard of from a professional 10 today). The way he attacked the line with the passive defences back then, he would be completely shut down today. He was a good player and achieved almost everything you can but he was made to look better with quality around him and the less impressive opposition compared to todays game.He wouldn't even start for super rugby team and believe the sport has evolved too much to put people in the GOAT conversation that played then.
Amazing how many mistakes are made in rugby by refs leading to a team winning a game...Richie was the king of hypnosis with refs.... Anyway what was was....lol 2011 world cup lost a lot of rugby support due to the game loosing it's legit reffing....I will give 2015 world cup to NZ ....no questions. ..
