Rest in peace, Jonah. Greatest winger of all time.

George Gregan played his heart out that day. As an All Black supporter. It was awesome to see George Gregan and Tim Horan at Jonahs Memorial service. Much respect to both teams. RIP Jonah Lomu All Black No 941

I love rugby so much... Its my life... I play for storm rugby in brighton, tennessee....

Every day, every minute as Brazilian Fan I am knowing to love this Game, this Respect, its incredible technician and strength... I am All Blacks Fan but with a lot of respect for All Nations/Players that give all your heart and soul for this Amazing Sport. A lot to learn about Rugby but I am going ahead...

Both teams full of all time greats. An amazing time

Its September 2019 and I cant believe me and my Dad watched this game live. Can still remember the cheers and hugs. It was an amazing game. Lomu was the GOAT

I was there. It really was the best match of rugby I have ever seen. It was an electric atmosphere in the stadium with a massive crowd not knowing from second to second who was going to win. That was what made it special not the defence or the attack. Every time Jonah got the ball in the second half the crowd went quiet, absolutely quiet, in anticipation of what he might do. A privilege to have seen the game and to have seen Jonah, who in the best game of rugby ever, was the best player.

Extraordinary game. One has to remember this was the first time Australia had played New Zealand since winning the Rugby World Cup. It was the battle of the Giants.

Amazing, even today games between Australia and New Zealand still get the same number of tries. Only they're scored by one team.

I remember this game started (for me) at 6am on a Saturday morning on Fox Sports World. I had only been interested in rugby for about a year, but I was able to watch this match live. Being a Wallaby fan, I hated to see NZ win...but the match itself was so fantastic that I ended up watching the replays, recording it, and forcing family to watch it with me. Truly, rugby of the gods.

And I was there. First professional rugby match I ever saw live. Talk about expectations being set for the future

With the sad news today, thought I would watch this to remember some good times :) RIP Jonah you bloody legend!

Thirteen years old, and still the best game I've ever seen. I watch this game, and I feel bad for my Aussie neighbours that they don't currently have a Gregan or a Larkham to make those good decisions in the backline. Most Aussies probably assume that all Kiwis like easy wins over them, but this one doesn't. I miss the days when we had Justin vs George vs Joost, three amazing players in the same position. I feel incredibly lucky to have witnessed such an era.

This is the rugby answer to the Pittsburgh/Dallas Super Bowl games of the 70s. Heartstopping from start to finish.

Dude. This game gave me anxiety and I’m neither an Aussie or a Kiwi. That was intense. I now found the full game and will watch that. Thanks.

I was at this game, almost walked out after 10 minutes, left saying it was the greatest game I’ve seen, and we lost!

2 remarkable rugby nations at their best !

This was the game that got me into rugby way back 18 years ago

I remember watching this game. I was in The US on business and a group of us found a bar that was screening the game and serving breakfast - there was about 15 Australians and 10 Kiwis watching it live - everyone of us could hardly speak when the whistle finally went - and typical of a rugby crowd, there was true respect shown by everyone Aussie and Kiwi alike. A fantastic game, two outstanding teams and a perfect result!

Honestly if rugby can be as great as this again, that would awesome

80 minutes of none stop, edge of your seat brutality. Bloody heavenly!

Greatest game of rugby finished by the greatest player in rugby, R.I.P Jonah Lomu

Yes we Malaysian rugby fans remember the gentle giant of rugby the All Blacks legend the late Jonah Lomu. Three years after the heartbreaking 1995 World Cup final defeat to South Africa by 15-12 Jonah and the All Blacks came to Kuala Lumpur and played in the 7-aside Rugby tournament in the 1998 Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur. Jonah Lomu and his team mates won the gold medal beating South Africa in the final. When he was in Kuala Lumpur for the Commonwealth Games Lomu was ever the great sportsman he was never showy and always humble and down to earth person RIP Jonah Lomu.We all miss you.

Its a shame Aussie don't play like that these days it was a fantastic game to watch.

RIP Jonah, you great big legend.

I had the pleasure of seeing this on TV, but it must have been incredible actually being there. Almost 15 years on and its still one of the most exciting matches ive ever seen. If you'd actually seen the entire match, it wasn't a bad defensive game, it was two equally skilled teams attacking furiously at each other and capitalizing on lapses in each others defense. Besides, a bad defensive game is obviously far more fun to watch than a good defensive game of just penalty kicks and kicking for territory.

There Is No Doubt About it That is a Nail Biting Classic Rugby And It Never Get Old

WOW! It's nail biting, even when watching the highlights!

New Zealand's strength = Running Rugby Australia's strength = rucks and passes (and quick recycling of the ball, whereas NZ has continuous play) and George Gregan is a Rugby Legend. Probably the greatest scrum half in history

It still gives me "goose bumps," watching the game,,, years later,,, excellent,, What a game!!!! WHAT A LOMU,,,!!!!! R. I. P. BIG MAN,,, *DA, VINCI "WITH THE OVAL FOOTBALL........ 'WE ALL LOVE,, AND MISS YOU..* ,GERARD. J. LONDON

That was a really super match. Thank you. France beating All Blacks in 1999 was definitely the most outstanding in World Cup history.

certainly the most memorable game ever played - fast and furious - with best players and top referee

Classic rugby match! Rugby from the gods!

I remember watching this game it was awesome, I was at the club before the game and the Aussies were giving me grief 5 mins into the game I didn't hear a peep.

Writing this in 2021 where rugby has become "Kick, chase, set-piece, contest, repeat". What I'd give for a game like this today.

I was at this game and yes the feeling was the best I have had. About 10 minutes form halftime the aussies came back and I had to get down the stairs on the northern stand and have a smoke as I thought I was having a heart attack. A little aussie kid had me on when I got back 10 minutes into second half when I had settled down. An amazing game and crowd and the pubs were full of folk marvelling at the game and were better at giving credit where it was due than us Kiwis. Truly the best.

This was defiantly one of the best games ever beside World Cup finals but for a test defiantly. There was one other game just as good as this one, New Zealand vs France back in 86 when France won 16-3 on Nov 15.

that was an amazing game, remember it very well

Never ever get tired of watching this...

What an awesome comback from Australia and reply from NZ, the glory days of rugby

How many times have I watched this...

Australia don't have players like Larkam anymore. :-(

I was at the stadium that day as a kid rooting for the Wallabies. I remember when Jonah Lomu scored that game-winning try, some Aussie fans chucked their cups full of beer in anger. Epic game.

Tears at the end of watching this, remembering a Great Great man!

No Rivalry will match New Zealand VS Australia... The Grand Tasman Rivalry...

A bleedin legendary game, with the ultimate rugby legend, Jonah, the man. The pass by Randell was outstanding, I remember this game well.

I’m American and don’t watch much rugby but this was a spectacular display of competition to witness.

I can't get enough of this game even sixteen years later.. #11

RIP Jonah .you were theeeee bestt

when Australia actually turned up to the game to play

Dang, dat Mortlock! One of the most underrated backs in world rugby. The bane of many AB sides.

I have to comment as to the timeliness that KZfaq popped this video up in my Recommended line. I had posted a video of "The Greatest Try of All Time: 1973 All Blacks vs the Baba's". A former teammate of mine (Srumhalf) commented on my post that Sid Goings and Gareth Edwards were the two greatest scrumhalfs. Not disputing, I replied I always loved to see George Gregan and Justin Marshall go head-to-head. Always great games when those two were in there, not discounting the other 28 players on the field. Comments from a 66 yr old Yank that played for 28 yrs for the San Francisco Rugby Club, for what it's worth. Cheers.

i went to this game, it was so intense! first live game i ever watched at the age of ten

a game played in the true spirit of the anzac s,if you are not from australia or nzl you wouldht know what that is

I went to this game and it was one of very few times my team has lost but I left satisfied, knowing I’d seen an all-time match.

Thank you very much, sir. Your argument was very well thought out and researched. I give you my appreciation for that. Very well done, and very well played, my good man. And not to mention your etiquette. Much appreciated as well.

im an all blacks fan haha but this wallabies team from the late 90s to around early 2000s was the best wallabies team.

I was lucky to have been at this game, it was an amazing game.. RIP Jonah

My Dad and Uncles took my Grandfather to this game and man my grandfather enjoyed it RIP Granddad 1938-2007

Even in a four minute format this is diamond.

wow what a game

WOW WHAT AN AMAZING GAME TALK ABOUT HAIRS STICKING UP ON MY NECK. MUCH LOVE FROM WALES

Amazing match. RIP Jonah. Sad to see Australian Rugby is in such decline.

thank you. that clears up quite a lot.

Here is something that might get some Rugby fans in a huff. Look I am only trying to clarify the NFL and Rugby argument so both fans have a clear understanding of the facts. This article back in 2011 talks about the All Blacks having fun and being fans at NFL games. It also talks about the All Blacks and coaching staffs discussing the NFL players stats and the training. Its really a good article. www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/4531008/All-Blacks-measure-up-for-American-football

What a game that was. Rugby just is not the same with the Wallabies being crap, Bledisloe means stuff all and the Aussies are our real nemesis, not South Africa. There was a time when I would never miss a match and now we win just about all the time and it makes kinda boring rugby. Go the Wallabies lol.

Remember watching this game at the time ,to say it is the greatest game ever played is not overstating it

Both teams... a roll call of all time greats. Amazing to have so much ability so concentrated. And at this distance, the result is secondary to the performance.

best running and the worst defending

All the great players scored mean tries Umanga, Cullen, Alateni, Mortlock, Lathem, Roth and finished of with the greatest of all Lomu

Briliant game. Would love to watch the whole match

I remember watching this at the Walkabout pub in Sheppard Bush in London. Had a flat mate from Perth who had never seen rugby - took him to see this on the big screen at the pub - the atmosphere at the Walkabout was electric. Made a convert of him I think... Such a great game.

Person: "I don't get why people like Rugby?" Australia vs New Zealand 2000: "Hold my beer"

Amazing jonah was still playing at the highest level despite all his kidney issues....rip big fulla

I was there, incredible atmosphere, first time in the stadium. The Aussies were written off after 10m; greatest comeback of all time. fitting Lomau scored the matchwinner - 30 great players

i remember this tough game......both sides played awesome running rugby

stephen larkham was in my opinion the best australian no10/12

Canned kitty in America the amount of protection they wear is so ridiculous I laughed when I read ur comment

Wow. Yes. Vintage. A fantastic game, free-running and raining tries. A fabulous line-up of some of the best players ever.

Another excellent AB v Wallaby game some real stars in that AB team.

Nothing beats rugby. American foot ball sucks it's too slow. Too much stopping.

See if you can pause it at 1:34 and i assure you will something funny. lmao

There is no more stirring sight than to see Jonah stride down the left touchline. What an amazing player.

Lifelong fanatical England supporter. But this game the greatest I ever saw. I reckon the 97 ABs my greatest ever national team but these teams.....little did we know how blessed we were to have Lomu, Cullen, Umaga, Larkham, Gregan, Little, Horan, in that generation. Do we really think the game is better now? Not me.

Comparing rugby to American football is just stupid. That's like trying to say Usain Bolt wouldn't win a marathon. Of course he wouldn't, they are completely different sports. American football requires padding because it's a much faster and wide-open game. There is a lot of space to generate speed and the players that play the game focus on speed and agility over raw power unless you're on the line. Rugby is a much more contained sport where the two teams are constantly in close quarters. Very rarely to teams generate enough space between each other to even cause a high speed collision. So there's little to no padding needed. It requires brute strength and endurance. Only the best rugby players would be good at American football and only the best football players would be good at rugby. Quit trying to compare the two and enjoy both games for what they are.

One of the most exciting games ever..YES... But the greatest..far from it.missed tackle count is off the charts and both defences were terrible.. Get a grip fellas

remember watching this game - definitely the best ever!

Holy Shit, even the Highlights are amazing!!!! Wish I saw the actual game!!!

I have no idea exactly what's happening in this sport, but wtf this looks fun as hell, bye bye America, I'm going to play rugby

Back when Australia could actually play rugby, and not just whinge about referees.

our two countries love each other hate each other but always respect each other on the field and it doesn't get better than this here

Amazing that this was 20 years ago and I can still remember evry try! My fav was where they sung waltzing matilda with a record crowd. Lomu scored 3 tries in 5 mins. Audience shut up... 😂

I like free flowing rugby, but when defence and tackling are optional in my mind does not make a great game

Guys, why are u comparing rugby to American football. Coming from an American point of view it just looks pathetic. Although we don't have much of this sport in the US, I loooove football and this game seems pretty interesting. So I've been looking into it more recently. I must say it's pretty different actually but in a unique way. I like it. U know what would be cool, if there was like a show where the mixed sports and like had rugby people tryin to play football or the other way around, or like tennis players trying to play bad mitten. Guys I'm gonna become a millionare after this.😂this comment has been going on too long. I like rugby but not as much as football, but don't get mad it may have been the other way around, I just grew up with football so I kind of am entitled to love it...anyway have an amazing day

wow must have been exhilarating to watch live. Jonah is so awesome

proud to be a kiwi and supporter of the all blacks these to side have to be the best rivalry in the history of rugby

Im sorry but how do people think american football is tougher than rugby! You have no protection in rugby. And do you have the nightmare of a 155kg beast running at you at 31mph? Cause i had 7 weeks of lying in hospital to reflect about it

looks less like best game and more like worst defence

Big ups to both teams .. Played with a lot of heart a delievered a great game!

God bless the BIG MAN .,.. never again will we see talent so unfilled on the field ... you were a giant amongst giants ... so sad your potential was never reached . ... oh what was and what could of been ...
