True!I love to watch Rugby but these days in the late 90s and early 2000s were better!withh great players! Lomu R.I.P Legend. Dallaglio put his knees on Lomu and enraged for his try😆
At 8.04, Guscott checks his run to make sure he just misses being able to catch Lomu and therefore make a real tackle on him, but he makes sure he is close enough to make a gallant-looking attempt. I can't imagine international rugby players of his calibre being scared on the field, but clearly he was - imagine what a beast Lomu must have been?
That's pretty harsh, John. Guscott doesn't play wing. Where was the England wing marking Lomu? Why was Guscott obliged to speed out to the sideline to get to Lomu? He checked his run because there was so much space and Lomu could have easily stepped in side given Guscott's obliged sprint. The tackle was ineffective not because Guscott checked his run (which he had to do), but rather because he got his head on the wrong side in the tackle itself. Witness Japie Mulder in the '95 RWC Final. Mulder took Lomu down on the sidelines because he put his head in front, not behind.
@@rh5466 I watched it again, I still think it was because he was not exactly overly keen on a head to head with Lomu, that the check in his step was an involuntary manifestation of that.
I don't know how old you are fella or if you ever played rugby back in the day, but certainly at amateur club level, that was a tickle to be honest. Gouging, studding, driving a shoulder in to the sternum after the tackle, ear lobe biting in the scrum, elbow to the ribs at lineouts...all part of the game.
I remember watching this on the telly. Probably England's best performance of the tournament, very disappointing to lose it. Probably inferior fitness showing in the last quarter - plus we could have done with keeping the ball out of Lomu's hands.
It was actually a very good England team, featuring a number of core players in the 2003 triumph. That includes Johnson, Dallaglio, Wilkinson, Dawson and others. Even the players that didn't last to 2003 (e.g., Guscott, DeGlanville and Healey) were very good players. Jason Leonard too. Look at the tackle by DeGlanville on Lomu at 1:03. DeGlanville also scored in this game. In his career he wasn't the flash presence of other players, but the man was total commitment. He'd tackle anything if he was wearing an England shirt. This is why he was captain, and it was a good choice in my opinion.
De Glanville wouldn't and couldn't move the ball. Great at solo crashes, terrible at distribution, see how many times NZ move the ball down the line in this video, England didn't even once. England up the jumper rugby and bad midfield distribution is why they lose world cups.
Lomu’s try: watch Dallaglio in the background. First tugging Wilson’s shirt to take him out of support, then drops a knee on Lomu on the ground. Cynical and dirty.
Can someone tell me what happened after Jonah Lomu scored that amazing try at 8:13 and suddenly that scuffle started between him, Umaga and some English players? What was the reason for that, because I couldn't see what really happened?
+dvchel Yeah what happened was that after Lomu scored he had Dallaglio on top of him and as Dallaglio was getting back to his feet he pushed Lomu's head into the ground which caused the scuffle with Umaga and some of the other ABs. It wasn't a malicious act by Dallaglio, it was just frustration that Lomu had walked through England again after all the work they had done in the build up to the game to find a way to stop him.
I still can't forgive John Hart for playing Cullen and Umaga out of position here . This was the worst sporting period for me . I was depressed for months on end...oh ..oh...and then Ryan Giggs added insult to injury by running through my whole team in the FA Cup semi finals and score against Arsenal . That just doubled up on my grief lol 😆🙃😅
Cullen at Centre was absolutely criminal and in the showpiece tournament of the world. Still, after all the grief and 1995/99/03/07 were utter utter horror years mate....we came through to win 2 world cups back to back, never to be done in world history.
I am uploading the full game now, will be there in an hour or two, struggling to find the Fiji vs England game, will keep looking when I have time, and I may not have it at all to be honest.
Alexander Astore That was a tough game to watch... only kiwi surrounded by a pub full of brits. Outplayed though so big ups to England! I just can’t stand the post win patriotism and disrespect to the All Blacks. Maybe it goes both ways but think there’s a reason everyone dislikes English supporters...
I recon that those comments are self explanatory. I am half Italian half Kiwi, and I watched the game in Milan. I had a couple of English people saying they were sorry while spotting me on the street with the ABS jersey on afterwards the game. I have full respect for British people but sometimes some of them like to cross the line of politeness and become pricks. As happens with Italians and (much less) with New Zealanders at times. To be honest I feel really disappointed with the defeat, cause I felt NZ never expressed their true potential and were outplayed for 75 minutes. But we will raise up back, as we did after 2007, which lead to a 12 years international domination. It was a pleasure speaking to you briefly here, wish you all the very best with your passion and career brother!
genius level would have been to leave cullen at the back, wilson on wing and bring umaga in to centre. Hart is an amateur. no way would i have moved cullen from his spot. i would have wilson at 13 before i move cullen. watching back some of the 99 footage wilson was good in the tri nations. but then got exposed defensively at times at the 99 rwc. lost count how many times cullen backtracked and saved wilsons ass.
FDNC TBH I would have selected Alama Ireremia at center and Alatini at 2nd 5 and played Cullen at FB , Umaga and Lomu on the wings. Wilson on the bench. Can you believe that Wilson was only 28 when he retired in 2002 ?
TheForge10: I remember Wilson took a sabbatical after the Super 12 in season in 2000, and rejoined the ABs back in 2001. I didn't know he was only 28 when he retired, but ain't nothing wrong with walking while you can. Remember when he ran down Joe Roff in the 2001 Bledisloe game? That was epic. Also, I agree with your choice of Alatini/Ieremia in midfield, with Lomu, Umaga, and Cullen at the back 3. Wilson coming off the bench wouldn't have been a bad idea at all. John Hart botched this tournament, and you'd think after 1998, when he miraculously kept his job despite going in winless in the Tri-Nations, winning the RWC was the only way he was ever going to redeem himself.
jydaflyest I know why he left rugby. Before Wilson's father passed away he wanted him to go back to cricket, which he did with mixed results and a couple of games for the Blackcaps. Cam you believe Alama Ieremia was in the squad and he was a specialised center/2nd 5 but Hart got clouded with having Lomu , Umaga and Cullen all playing at once.
magnificent stuff. The immortal lomu does it again...kudos to the likes of mehrtens cullen wilson etc aweside side...as for the filthy cheat dallaglio hed get ared card for jumping on the try scorers back with his knee. bad loser
This was a very good England team -- show some respect. As good as NZ was? No, perhaps not; at least not at that precise moment in history. But just a couple years later the core of this '99 team went to NZ and beat the All Blacks in their own back yard with only 14 men. Then they hopped the ditch and beat Oz. Then they went to South Africa and beat the Springboks. All three major Southern Hemisphere teams, in succession, away from home. They invited each of them back to England in the autumn and beat them all. Not easy to do, to beat all three southern giants home and away. And then of course they went back to Australia in 2003 and won the World Cup. And how did NZ fair in '99 and '03?? Some (not necessarily me) would say they were pretty much the laughing stock. In fact, an argument could be made that it was the kind of "hilarious" arrogance that saw the ABs lose so much in that era.
Over the last hundred or so years, the ABs haven't done so bad have they. Check the win lose ratio between England and Nz over that time. Hilarious arrogance you say. the jokes on you.@@rh5466
Bryon Kelleher is the great tragedy of New Zealand rugby. Overwhelmingly stronger and better than Justin Marshall but did not get the nod because at the time the All Blacks had their worst ever coach.
Lomu never gets old watching him smash over guys.miss you big guy
Thank you Jonah for sharing your talent with the world! RIP Big Guy 🥲🙏🏽❤️🏉
True!I love to watch Rugby but these days in the late 90s and early 2000s were better!withh great players!
Lomu R.I.P Legend.
Dallaglio put his knees on Lomu and enraged for his try😆
DeGlanville. So unassuming, yet so effective. And a leader from the front. Would always put his tackles in.
Haha love the commentry glee by the kiwis back then not biased at all.
This abs team was ahead of it’s time

Going to be honest as a Bath supporter, Guscott was a pretty boy pussy to be honest, even at club level. Soz Jeza but you know its true.
Jonah Lomu da man
8:15 Dallagio's cowardly knee-drop on a prone Jonah. First class prick, World Cup medal or no World Cup medal.
WHAT ARE U ON ABOUT
Formakiwi he was a bad loser , couldn’t handle Jonah running over them every time 😂😂

Gouging, studding, driving a shoulder in to the sternum after the tackle, ear lobe biting in the scrum, elbow to the ribs at lineouts...all part of the game.
He perfected it watching the AB's
8:06 keith quinn magic... AGAIN
The high one to Lomu was a forward pass. Naughty.
What was delaglio up to after lomu scored?
Tana with the king of all offloads at 1:38

@@powerbite92 They won the 2003 World Cup!!
@@jackthegamer4019 with greenwood at inside centre, jonny and tindall not too shabby. Having de Glanville or Farnell in the centres loses world cups
The in and away...

Cullen at centre was a poor selection and one which lead to their downfall in the semis

Dallaglio dropped his knee onto Lomu's head.....dirty bastard.
chewie2240 8:15 Dallaglio with the *deliberate* knee to Jonah's head the *Coward*
Diallagio dropped a knee in Lomu's face, so the big giant decided to say him: "don't do that little child"
Come on .Every game takes courage. X🦊
IT'S 1995 ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Umaga wasn’t out of position. He was regularly playing wing at the time. He only switched to midfield later in his career.

Is it possible to upload full match England v NZ and
England v Fidji plz ?

Who else is watching this today, before tomorrow's clash in Tokyo? P.s. C'm on ABS!!

sigh John Hart , the Cullen at centre
That was my very first thought. I knew that it would come back to bite us in the butt eventually.

Can't wait for Japan to be welcome into the 🏉 fold. 🦊
Into the fold of what, Jacqueline? Into the liquor tonight are you?
Try the 70s. This is the best challeg
"Challeg"? Idiotic.
Massive forward pass for Lomu’s try
Don't know that it was massive, but definitely questionable.
Forward pass.
Bryon Kelleher is the great tragedy of New Zealand rugby. Overwhelmingly stronger and better than Justin Marshall but did not get the nod because at the time the All Blacks had their worst ever coach.
I think you're underestimating Marshy there. As far as I recall from 1997 through to 2003 Marshall was always a touch ahead of Byron.
NZ offside for the last try.
Stop crying lady
NEW ZEALAND WERE LUCKY TO WIN [ HAD ONE ATTACK ALL GAME [ TYPICAL ALL BLACKS
The ball may be out, but Hoeft definitely comes in to make the tackle from an offside position at 9:12.
I'm a nanny. Don't mess. Lol. 🦊❤️🥰🌹💞
Stupid comment, Jacqueline. Has nothing to do with anything.
"Forget about the booing". Just the English doing what they do best: hating anyone that is clearly better than them.
