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

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

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

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

I was in the crowd that night best night ever !

A really brilliant game. Well played by both sides. And with Lomu on your side, how to lose?! The joy he brought to fans worldwide! May his Soul RIP

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!

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.

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.

I saw Jonah .. so i'm here 😉 What a match .. 24-7 after 10min 😳 RIP Champ .. Fan from South of France Great to see Mr Tana Umaga too RCT Marseille .. Thanks

I remember touring the garden route of south africa as a young man....then waking up early to watch this game with my friends......we were in awe at the level of rugby in this game.......as south african supporters we were always supporting the team that was losing and it changed so many times in the match .....one of the greatest games ever for sure! a day that lives in my memory forever

Watching this thinking "wow, the game has changed so much and so quickly", then realised it was 20 years ago. Now I feel old...

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.

The standard in this match was next level. High octane stuff from start to finish between the best teams from that era. Probably Australia's greatest ever lineup or depth of talent. First 30 mins was just incredible stuff.
