Best Match Ever? - Australia v New Zealand - Tri Nations 2000 | Rugby Highlights | RugbyPass

Lomu introduced Rugby to millions globally

I am Mexican and in my country the RUGBY is not known only soccer and American football. I watched this match live on cable and since then I became a RUGBY fan. So much so that I play it in amateur form with Argentines, Canadians, Americans, Japanese, Brazilians, Austrians, French and everything in my country. The RUGBY is definitely universal. THANK YOU for uploading this important video for me. LONG LIVE THE RUGBY

Can’t believe he’s no more. May his soul rest in peace Lomu

What a video! No bullshit music and unnecessary personal commentary. Just the magical footage. I love you man

Lomu, the greatest rugby player of all time bar none. And the most exciting. I say that as an England supporter who watched in stunned disbelief as Lomu scored 4 tries against England in the semi final of the World Cup in 1995. Never before or since Lomu retired have I seen a player with his power, pace, handling ability, who could side step beautifully off either foot and most impressively, his outstanding rugby intelligence. A man who always played for the team. He will always be remembered fondly as long as this game is played.

I’m an American, and I find this more entertaining than American football.

I was in the crowd that night best night ever !

All these years later this is still the greatest game of rugby i've ever seen.

At that time the Tri Nations was like watching the NBA or the BPL. The level was so high and Australia vs NZ was the the equivalent of Brazil-Argentina in football.

I remember watching this game with my Whanau, live on TV. What an awesome display of running rugby, this is how rugby is supposed to be played. Both teams made this one of the greatest games in rugby history. Jonah Lomu, Tana Umaga, Christian Cullen, George Gregan, Stephen Larkham, Stirling Mortlock...great names from a golden era.

Cheers from a former rugbyplayer in rugbys "outback" Sweden! A million thank's for upload!

Of course Lomu is known for his fearsome attacking runs, but that pass he got off was absolutely incredible! It doesn't get the credit it deserved!

The level of rugby played in this match has never been surpassed. What a game!

To see jonah lomu in full flight what an absolutely amazing player he was,taken far to early legend

I love how right after the announcer says "Larkham with great hands" Larkham butterfingers the catch.

A GREAT game, possibly the greatest ever, I was fortunate enough to be there, I can still feel my heart sink with the last try by the great man lomu. But our hearts broke when Lomu passed away.

Christian Cullen was the greatest AB of that era. One of the greatest of all time

How sad we have to go back 22 years to see a quality Wallaby’s side… Real men, fighters, typical Aussies of that era… Epic game, may Jonah Rest in Peace 🙏🏻

I’m a kiwi but seeing the names of Gregan, Mortlock, Larkham Foley pop up makes you reminisce and be thankful watching legends play

As a Springbok supporter, I must say Lomu scared us the most Especially when he flattened Michael Catt in the 95 RWC...RIP Jona, Joost, James Small you are giants in this beautiful game. New Zealand and all the other Nations, we love to hate you but with out there is no game.
