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.

And a great wallabies side it was, led by captain Jon Eels along with the likes of Gregan. The key difference was leadership. Both teams had great players, the all blacks at the time had a leadership crisis and didn't know how to address it, hence they picked an inspirational leader in his own rights, Todd Blackadder, but a fairly mediocre player who wasn't considered good enough to be an all black. Wind the clock forward and you'd have Ritchie MacCaw and co of the all blacks, or wind it back you'd have Sean Fitzpatrick (and Zinzan) leading the field. SInce then it seems the wallabies just don't have either the players or the leaders.

The Wallabies were a great team back then and whooped NZ's butts so many times for years. One of the very best teams in history. Nowadays they simply don't have the players that compare to the likes of Larkham, Gregan, Eales, Roff, Kefu, Latham, and Mortlock. Look at how they come back from 21 points down in the first five minutes - that shows the typical attitude of a group of Aussie fighters that didn't give up. Respect from a NZ fan.

Actually they didn't Whoop our butts many times. They would generally beat us once a year during the Tri nations, after they won the Bledisloe Cup they changed it to a 2 game format. Have to win both to win the cup. Sadly it was always 50/50 split. However, it has been 17 years since Australia has last held it, at the end of 2020 it will be 18. The All Blacks and Australia have met 165 times. During that time Australia has won 44. There have been 7 draws, And New Zealand have won 114 Times. Australia hasn't beaten the All Blacks at Eden park in 33 years. At world cups Australia have beaten the All Blacks twice in Semis. The All Blacks have beaten the Australians twice too. Semi and Final. So be careful about who is whooping who.

Was in NZ on construction project in Auckland used to see Jonah at the Papakura Rugby Club also when he was getting Dialysis done at the Auckland Hospital, a modest humble man, what a loss to the world of Rugby, he was greatly admired in England. RIP Big man not to be forgotten.

For years Lomu was sick even in this game he wasn't 100% felt sorry for the dude but then again he didn't speak out in his early career days about signs of his health this could have been treated and we would of still had a legend living. NZRU should had a statue of him outside Eden park 🥇. Will never see another rugby player in top level international, steam rolling 2 or more players then out pace the rest. Miss you Jonah!

That Larkham pass at 4:55 is one of the best passes you will ever see. Doesn’t seem like much but to break free and at full speed throw a dime like that on point with larkham hitting without slowing down is amazing. Larkham one of the most under rated players of all time. When Australia could compete and even beat the all blacks year after year rugby was at its best. Australian rugby has gone down big time past 12 years and rugby suffers for it

Larkham is a legend and he is in the hall of fame, i think because he played back then that many people wouldn't know him unless they were like "true rugby fans"

Rugby needs a worldwide club tournament of 40 teams, 8 pools of 5 teams, each team plays the other in their own pool home and away, then the top two teams in each pool advances to the play offs. A worldwide club tournament with regional qualification is the only way that Rugby can stay relevant...

I remember watching this game live from Turkey. It was absolutely intense and the bar I was in was filled with Aussies and Kiwis. We all agreed afterwards that it was the best game of Rugby anyone had ever seen. And everyone there was a major Rugby fan. The fact the Blacks won is irrelevant to anyone who watched the game. Just Incredible.

I am a Springbok all the way, but this was an amazing game. The All Blacks are the standard but one thing about the Ausies in general is that they never look defeated. Never. I have always admired that.
