Game of the Century | All Blacks v Australia 2000

Don’t think reiko can make the same transition to 13 tana did, just doesn’t seem to have the skills and defence

clean, hard rugby..Game of the Century indeed👊

甲子園準決勝

Such a great game, RIP Jonah, miss that guy

Ok

Take the first 5 minutes out and the ABs were actually flogged. Aussies were asleep it seems. But this was nearing the end of a great period in Oz rugby. I'm glad they started so badly. To come back against that start was amazing. Disappointing for an Aussie in the end but it made for a game to remember.

I just watched this thrilling game for the very first time. But I can't understand why they didn't utilize Lomo's talents more? The ball hardly was passed to his side of the field!

Funny how Australian and South African commentators are the only ones accused of bias 😅

So glad they got rid of Murray mexted in the commentary box!
What a kiwi team!!!

I was there, part of the biggest ever rugby union crowd of 109,874. Even though I'm a Wallabies supporter, this game was phenomenal, and Jonah Lomu was in amazing form.
It was an effective rehearsal for the Sydney infrastructure ahead of the 2000 Olympics.

Nearly 110, 000 people attended this match in Sydney. It was a thriller to the very end with the great Jonah Lomu scoring the winning try in the last minute. The return match in Wellington was another thriller with the great John Eales kicking the winning penalty for the Wallabies in the last minute of the game.

if any game deserved to end in a draw - this was it

I dnt thnk it was that great our game is faster now apart frm Jonah n collie n Umaga the rest were just average compared to now

If there were a Larkham, a Latham, a Gregan, an Eales, a Mortlock and a Roff now………the list goes on and on for the Wallabies when they were at their most powerful. If only there were similar figureheads and powerhouses in Australia’s squad and game today, they would definitely be vying for the No.1 spot! I just love a great game and this is one hell of an example!!

First ever Rugby game I've ever watched, it was not disappointing! Cheers from America, fascinating sport with plenty of history to go with it!

❤nice

Dam over 100k supporters. Last night at th G, 89k supporters🤣🤣
MCG is the shittiest stadium ever for a rugby match.

From the archives of one of the best Games ever played by the ALL blacks to the sad moments we last get to see a true icon play like the true legend he forever is! 💙 Rest in peace a hero in our hearts and in your own right!

Close game

Aussies played well

Greetings from Sydney

People like to call this game the greatest ever but not for me! Yes the tries are great to watch but from a defense point of view both sides should just be embarrassed. Dreadful stuff!

Wtf ever!!!

I don't think you can call that the game of the century. Very exciting but a lot of mistakes. I lost count of the amount of times Larkam's dropout didn't make 10 metres.

These two countries are damn phanomenol, Gosh nailing biting moments.

We miss you lomu from New Zealand.

You are a Legend ...

This era was amazing...All Blacks vs Australia was for rugby fans a larger than life event that we all looked forward too

COMMONWEALTH Best two Rivals Nations played here!
What a Match !
Chief Jonah scored at the last minute...You're so missed !

紐西蘭的防守真是糟糕，一個正確有效的擒抱都沒有，把自己逼入險境，輸了都應該。

South Africa will alway's be our nemisis like being in a hard honest fight playing South Africa then Australia but this was a good game 👍🏽💯✔

Its bitter-sweet watching Jonah Lomu, the great number 11, barelling down the sideline, swiping the oppsition out of his way and off his leg. Wish he was here. RIP Jonah Lomu. Will always remember you.

Strangely, nobody ever mentions the 46 -40 game between the Boks and AB's during that same year. I remember lots of running in that game but also thought at the time the defence of both teams were not up to its normal high standard (but maybe that was just because both teams were so good in attack).

Wallabies were worthy World Champs at the time ... great team .... ABs were still rebuilding, sadly would lose Cullen and Lomu to injury and sickness by 2003 RWC 😢

Amazing to see Jim Williams playing for The Wallabies and Christen Cullen who both played for my club Munster and gave Coaching Clinics , really fantastic guys , back when Munster was the biggest force in World Rugby, this game reminds me of how more exciting the game was in the early 2000s , The Pack did not dominate like today , the game plan was about breaking lines through quick balls over 10 yards from the scrum half’s , today you will never see a 20 yard pass like Justin Marshall does from a scrum, unbelievable stuff, George Gregan one of the greatest players of all time with 11 No 1 RIP Jonah Tali , we miss The Wallabies at the top of world rugby thanks for this video !! These two teams are probably the best teams in the history of rugby!Only negative is the commentators had no clue about rules especially coming in at the side and offside at the break down!!

George Gregan and Taine Randall were absolutely unreal players.

All L blacks no good. To many mistake.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I must say that this was Australia's Wallabies, A1 team of the century, ever! I loved this game from back then, and I can still feel the nerves at times as I remembered how tense it was for me as The Wallabies came closer and closer to taking it back from The All Blacks, outstanding performance from both teams!

great game, but I prefer the another version with different commentators

I watched this game live and agree that it was the game of the century.
Never watched a game played between the two rivals before this one.
Wallabies did every tricks in the book but unfortunately the All Blacks played extra tricks to win the game.

thanks just found this site i remember this match but never seen it. just great from uk

Doesn't get better than this.

Excellent game

Scott robinson is now the all black coach

Back in the day when it was all about scoring and not defence,nowadays good defence is what win games
