The greatest EVER 40 minutes of All Blacks rugby? 

This is the game where sonny bil gets knocked out clean in the first few mins and no one noticed and he got up and made another tackle. Legend

One of the hardest tasks in World Sport , to beat the New Zealand All Blacks . The most winniest side in world sports history.The All Blacks are the most successful international men’s rugby side of all-time with a winning percentage of 77.41% over 580 Tests (1903-2019). Since October 2003, when World Rugby introduced a rankings system, the All Blacks have held the number one position for over 80% of the time. From 2009 to December 2018, the All Blacks held the number one position in the World Rugby rankings. The side also claimed World Rugby’s Team of the Year title on seven consecutive occasions from 2010-2016.

@2:10 Sonny is out to it and still making tackles. What a machine.

We badly miss Liam squire. Absolutely the kind of 6 we need now

You can see the All Blacks constantly strategising, having discussions during the small breaks to make improvements. They deserved it because of the determination.

Michael Hooper plays some excellent rugby as usual. the only player for Australia to go 200percent all day

That last pass by A.Smith. Perfection!

Crotty was such a good player,so reliable and consistent

Look how sbw was rocked he was out an mange to make another 2 more tackles that's heart right there take a bow sbw

RU is at it's absolute best when you start the game and it's multiple phases of backs-to-forwards and both driving up the field with some production at the end of it all.

Ben the accountant, what a player.

I still rate the game at athletic park in the rain back un 1996 against oz

36:48 You can hear Aaron Smith cheering even before Sonny Bill scores 😆

I always liked Liam squire. Tuff bugger.

39:16 SBW “Make some tackles ya little cunt” 🤣

Tuve la maravillosa suerte de verlo en directo!!! Geniales los All Blacks!!

Amazing quality of team work

The excitement and charge is indescribable - and so it will remain 👊🔥

This is the game where SBW showed the world he’s one of the best centre’s of all time. Skill, heart, determination, leadership and fortitude.

What a beast of a team

Love watching great athletes

Another Great AB’s team ! Thanks

SBW’s offloads never get old

SWB - Fav sportsman of all time 💯

love it when the AB's score a point a minute

This video was cool

For me it's the 2015 vs France, 1st half (even though my name is also Ioane). This might be high level, but I watched that game live and I remember being shocked

Michael Hooper of Australia is a Champ. Miss him the most out of the Aussie side. Love from an AB’s fan.

Sublime

What an absolute behemoth half from Retallick

Awesome sir name

A thing of beauty

Great memories, I was at this match, ABs fell asleep in the second half

Utterly sublime! A somewhat impressed northern European observer.

Every time Mckenzie's on the team, our attack goes up a notch, caused problems for the Aussies most underrated player. Glad he made the 2023 All Blacks.

Can’t wait in 2022

SBW never disappointed. The bloody heart of this man.

Early 2000s bledisloe cup match where Roccoco scored 3 tries i would argue to be one of the best matches as well. Nice vid

Damn shame about Squire’s retirement. He’ll go down as one of the great “what ifs”

Yes a fantastic half of rugby-quality from both side actually but AB’s a real class. Whether best ever, not sure but certainly up,there and silly thing is I had to rewatch to appreciate how good it was as this team played some fantastic Ruby after losses of personnel after 2015 World Cup and for next two years were still magnificent.

Nice win 🥇

The only team who can regularly put big scores on quality opposition.

Retallick-what a beast! Superb half by the AB's.

Excellent ref too. Well done all.

Wow! Fair play to the Aussies, they to play, and didn't get that much wrong. I pray to the rugby Gods that we get some footie being played at the World Cup. Come on ABs, love and respect t from Scotland

27:00 "Well getting a lot of practice kicking from halfway is Bernard Foley" 😆

and people in NZ think barrett can't run a game......i love mo'unga as well, both are great options

I would say the 90 minutes against France in 2015 was the greatest All Black's performance.

Me, in the 9th minute: lol best 40 min of ab rugby ever, the fucking day me in the 24th minute: ME OH MY I AM ENJOYING THIS YES BOY

Dont know if its the greatest 40 mins ever... no DC no McCaw, I enjoyed the boks v Abs 2013 game in SA best game i have ever seen. Although beating wallabies in 2015 wc final was satisfyingly sweet

Folau always looking dangerous

37:28 you love to see that from AS

Michael Cheika is my spirit animal

Credit to the Wallabies, they were throwing the kitchen sink at the All Blacks in front of a home crowd. But the ABs were just on fire. One of the most high intensity halves i’ve seen.

Aaron Smith was the best halfback I ever saw, close with Justin Marshall.. we are going to miss him moving forward in 2023

😂🤣 I always use to love chieka rage moments can always read what his lips are always saying.. SBW mvp

20'17 was the year thoooo

Moody is the MAN!!!

short answer, and with the benefit of hindsight, no, in my opinion, having just watched your highlights here of the opening 20 minutes of the Boks test in Auckland. - traditionally a sterner opponent and goodness what a scorching start -.. anyway go the ABs!

Mon equipe de toujours

What was FT score at the end?

watching this game shows how much we are missing a crotty / smith type of player in the midfield!

that first 2 mins was just insane wah!

...wow, those were the days, it seems like forever since they appointed the curren't incompetenet coach. So many of us are looing forward to a winning coach starting next year who will be able to rebuild the All Black's once high standards of excellence.

...massive overstatement... pretty scratchy performance by both teams...

For me.... vs the boys in 2017... 57-0 Amazing first half...

All Blacks backline play is fast and skillfull compared to now. Clearly see the difference in coaching ability between Wayne Smith and Ian Foster.

Which of the 3 games is this? 1 or 2 maybe?

just say its one of those nights ABs love to just dominant hahahaha

At a recent psyc test, the Doc asked me what makes me happy. I replied, "Dejected Aussie rugby players".

Far out. Just vaguely remember this match. 2:30 and Smash, Crash, Crunch!

this all blacks team looks so much better than todays all blacks team.

2:07 - Watch for SBW getting KO'd and still maintains mission focus.

Look. All. These. Year. A. Bs. Never. Stop running the. ball side by. Side. Is. Macnificent there. Style on. The. Field I. Keep. Saying. This. ABs. Still. The. Best God bless. Out team merry. Christmas

what even happened to liam squire he was a beast just imagine what him shannon and ardie couldve done for nz. Ardie being the best 8 itw for what he does liam square being a new generation jarome kaino and shannon offering his power and hard ball running to the team

A bit of ye old Razzle-Dazzle 😎 Marshie's favourite line!

in the states here, when a team can do so much right against a team like the ABs, and sooner than later that team does a monumental FOUL UP, that team is called SNAKEBIT. no matter what they do, they are gonna get bit right in the arse.

DMac at his best. People saying he's not worthy of being an All Black need to refresh their memories.

39:15 SBW

“Too fast Ioane”. Good nickname from the commentator that should have stuck.

What was Sonny saying at the end of the scrap? Something about looking forward to the next tackle, "you little stunt"?

I think the 40 minutes of the game against France in the semis of the 2015 RWC is a much better game,the whole game,but the first 40 set the tone for the drubbing that was to follow.

Ryan Crotty, Ben Smith, Sonny Bill, Kieran Read, Owen Franks, Richie McCaw, Ma Nonu, Kaino these are just a handful of players you know will step up day in n day out, even on a bad day (not in form) - which is rarely. But the AB team i see now.. are just a shadow of themselves.

Team today is missing the impact of someone like squire!

13:25 oz ways. They never attack on front foot. Since early 90s. What a buzz kill attitude

Came for the boomfa, wasn't disappointed!

the 4 black is enormous player...!

Not sure how Sonny Bill Williams didn't get HIA tested after being knocked out in the 2nd minute

Beautiful rugby.

Seeing this makes me think how much better our semi final team against england could have been. No Ben smith, crotty, ioane and dmac, not to mention barrett at ten

Not a patch on the Rugby League World Cup match between New Zealand and Australia in November 2022. Rugby League is a much more athletic and skillful game than rugby union.

Omg

25:00 great hands

2:10 sbw already getting ko

Croty pure class.

Fallout looked dangerous 24/7

SBW was a tormentor. The whole défense was setup to counter him

Forward passes are allowed in the southern hemisphere. Also, when you get an english ref Aussie, you know how it feels when England get ANY ref!

Clear forward pass at 12:22

Who is the AB's hairdresser? it looks like they were all dragged into the shearing shed
