Hard to believe that this is almost 10 years old. I miss this team
Perfect
Well said...so do I!
this all black team that went on to win the WC in 2015 is the greatest of all time for me
Yep, fully agree with you, no weaknesses in that team, from 1 to 15 all were pretty much the best in the world at their positions too
🏉🤠🍻🤠👍
@@marksta5915 we really took that for granted. Now we’re getting spanked by France and Ireland etc.
@@marksta5915 ....& The bench wholly f..!!
@@locominyana8916 yep it was a great well coached to their potential team, sadly unlike the inconsistent shambles we've seen the last 3 seasons in particular
The fact this team backed up their perfect season 2 years later with the RWC makes them number 1 in my book.
They have always been number 1 and always will be.
@@Sokol17029 : Er, they were not number one for 80 years before South Africa was banned from international rugby. In fact, South Africa had beaten every team in the world more times than they'd lost, including the AB's. The AB's had not even won a test series in South Africa before SA were banned. Since South Africa came back and have been badly affected by affirmative action appointments, the AB's have done well against SA....but SA still have a better win percentage at winning RWC's.....three wins in seven RWC's compared to ABs three wins in nine tournaments.
@@shibuya3185 Ok both teams are number one and always will be.
@@shibuya3185 Many teams tried to win in SA, first problem was they were smart, played most teams at altitude, another problem was the quality of the reffing, If you watch the old games, my word, I think a few Rand was given to certain referees. In saying that, The All Black VS South Africa mindset is one of the best in the world, the games are always battles to the final whistle and always the team that wins deserves it. The world ranking system is a farce, lets face it. At this time SA are number 1 and deserve to be as RWC's. Overall however, the All Blacks hold a winning margin over every team they have ever played, Including SA. Don't use politics to say that it has affected the game to such a point that you have to mention it, Up until the end of Apartheid the margin was 21 wins to SA and 17 wins to NZ, so a lot closer than you suggest. Heyneke Meyer did a great job from 2012 to 2015 and almost got them the win in the world cup, that semi was epic, the same team previously struggled, with some big losses, Same with the All Blacks now, Foster is destroying their game. RWC's are great, 3 each, yet only the All Blacks have won back to back. Since the first match in 1921 between them there have been 101 games. 60 to NZ and 37 to SA with 4 draws. And to be honest that wont change that much as both teams are always going to bring their best. As a kiwi I have more respect for SA rugby than any other country, if we lose to them it's worth the pain, because the game is always amazing.
@@Nineteenseventy2 : Who cares who won "back to back"? The AB's have played twice at home compared to the Boks once and have played in two more tournaments. They consistently choke when playing the RWC away....with a dismal 14% success record. Disrespecting SA referees by claiming they cheat is typical Kiwi loser talk. What is wrong with you lot? Small man syndrome again? Of course politics has played a major role in the disappointing Bok performances since the end of apartheid. Before this time (over 80 years) they had a better win/lose ratio than every other team. The AB's have done really well whilst SA has been affected by affirmative action and teams not selected on merit, but with some excellent black talent coming through in SA, they are coming back to their former glory. They are not there yet but still have a better win rate at winning RWC's than the AB's. Three out of seven compared to three out of nine for the AB's. The Boks will continue to suffer in the less important games because the weak rand means that they never can field their strongest team but with all the black talent coming through, they are improving. The AB's had better start poaching players from the PI's again.
The most winning sports team in the history of sports....any sport....any country....through humility, attention to detail, a recognition that they are just a caretaker of the jersey they wear.....these guys are the best team in any sport for the last 120+ years....
This All Blacks period with McCaw as Captain is my favourite of all time. They understood that every time they went out onto the field they weren't just playing for themselves or for their country, but to honour the legacy of the previous 100+ years. Their dedication to excellence at all times was awe inspiring.
I feel like they need to bring Richie back as a team culture advisor
@@ghostinahotel and sake the current coach.
@@novak7970 couldn't agree more
@@danievanzyl2613 keep telling yourself that mate
@@danievanzyl2613 you're a cheat!! Lol. You're missus said so
Cruden doesn't get enough credit. During those Carter injury crisis years he was so reliable under pressure and a great kicker
Agreed, Cruden & the oft maligned Liam Messam. Carter & Kaino always get the props, but weren't really needed this year.
Agreed. Him and Sonny Bill were the greatest combination for the Chiefs ONLY lol
Beauden also stepped up against the South African sides this year, and coming off the bench against Ireland in the last game.
I love All Blacks! fan from Korea
I'm from korea too
What great ambassadors for professional sports. No bs, no ego, no hype. What true champions look like. 👍
Cruden, severely underrated! Never lost a test he started!
Even now, 2023 this still chokes me up inside with such pride in these great Legends of our beautiful game.
And the strength of our Nation to continue to produce such outstanding athletes.
All Blacks .....🇳🇿
This Team was stacked with talent, toughness, experience, personalities, and success.
And Piatau had the whites straightest teeth lol
Wow. What a team, what a year. Read and Ben Smith especially showcase their sublime skills
The best
Ben Smith what a player!
THE GREATEST ALL BLACK TEAM OF ALL TEAM WHICH CULMINATED WITH A CLEAN SWEEP AT THE 2015 RUGBY WORLD CUP IN ENGLAND, of all places ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome to watch again and re live those moments. The Franks brothers in the last 3-4 mins vs Ireland were outstanding! Up The All Blacks 🇳🇿
Best rugby team ever, glad to have witnessed it.
from the Smith trio to the Barrett trio...the saga continues
10:30 lmfao imagine Richie friggen McCaw having to worry about “getting his spot back”. Speaks volumes about the amount of talent in NZ rugby when the greatest of all time has to worry about his spot lol
Fantastic season hope to see you one day in Algiers i m a fan of the allblaks
I miss this team so much. Back then with McCaw leading the boys.
Ngl, I high key miss this era of the All Blacks! These guys carried an aura with em every-time they went onto the field. This squad along with the 2015 will always be the best in my books.
The time of my life.
Can't watch rugby anymore. There will never be another Richie.
Outstanding interview, so insightful and reflected. Thank you Wayne for the dignity and proffesionalism that you bring to the game we all love. It hurt to hear you speak of the hardship you and your family have had to endure. The perpetrators don't deserve to watch any sport.
Hats off to you sir
To witness this team at their peak was something special.
Best team in any era of rugby.
What a season. Well done to the AB’s. Brilliant year.
Thanks ALL BLACKS youtube channel for all these amazing documentary's. As a Kiwi living in the UK its a very special thing to watch these.🤟🤟🤟
That last game against Ireland was special, I remember being on the edge of my seat. The Perfect Season.
You guys haven't done too well against us since then aye
@@Friends-jl3lp does it still hurt after getting thrashed in the last worldcup 😄
@@sanurox1 does it still hurt getting annihilated by the irish and French during the autumn internationals. Worst AB run in over 10 yrs. As your media stated after the game nobody will know who the AB's are anymore 😏
@@Friends-jl3lp lol annihilate? 44-16 is annihilation 😂 Thought the Irish had a better grasp on the English language 😂 plus big ego coming from a team who only can win in their own backyard 😂 Also the French has always been a better team than Ireland when it comes to defeating the All blacks but they never have a big ego like the Irish 😛
@@sanurox1 beat you in Chicago Uso
Absolutely brilliant. Love it!
Theyre a matter of super brilliance in rugby techniques and no other leader in world rugby will ever beat the All Black tactique
never say never... you lost a lot recently
@@Commantaireful its never lost we just run out of time
@Go on have some i'm french, by the losing experience we have i just find disturbing the arrogance nz ppl have even in the losing streak
@@Commantaireful A Frenchman accusing other nationalities of being arrogant. You can't make this sh!t up
As someone who was at that amazing game in Dublin, and then the one last november its sad to see how much we have regressed...
Wow! What a Team
The All Blacks are like the God's in the Rugby world. This 2013 team has the look of & the making of one of the best AB's teams if not the best.
Joy
Ah yes the good ol days of the mighty ABs. Steven Hansen nd his staff did a great job in bringing out the best of each player in playing their full potential on the field.
Just watched this start to finish - great memories. I just can't help wishing that Charles Piutau stuck around for longer. How did he not get a contract extension with the Blues?
Agreed. Think because the coaches wanted him as a super sub but he wanted a full time gig so instead he left for the big bucks at the time. I could be wrong.
He fucked his career up
I agree. It’s bittersweet I guess because the rate the Blues have been going these past couple of years, he’d be wasted talent.
Trust me, he was a very special talent and it hurt to see him go so soon, before his prime as well. Esp after Nonu and Smith retired there still is a hole to fill in the midfield
Never forget the Test against the Boks @ Elis Park.
The Boks put on a peak performance and scored a couple of great tries, but the Allblacks were on a whole other level.
2 men down and still scored a try! 🤯
Best test match I've ever seen.
Love the all blacks
Me too
Pure greatness 💪🏼🇳🇿
I loved this vid thank you
No other team will ever do what this team did. Win 2011 followed by a perfect 2013 season, and then a 2015 perfect season to successfully defend the cup. 2 perfect seasons in 4 years with 2 cups. That is something else.
This reminds me how good the All Blacks use to be, much respected
I hate losing too bro but that's when we strive to be better and everyone else knows that.
Great memories & players whole team effort Proud Aotearoa 💯🏆🤙
merci , j'adore votre équipe
Whether people hate the ABs or not ….. you cannot argue that they will always be remembered as the gold standard of rugby. At their best they were near perfect, they could win in different ways and made every team pay whenever they made a mistake. You literally had to play a perfect game to beat them at their peak.
@@danievanzyl2613 you mean kiwis ? Lol gtfoh
@@danievanzyl2613 What are south sea islanders?
Danie
But the All Black players with Polynesian heritage are New Zealanders🇳🇿 tho when it’s comes to nationally wise,
Because nearly all of them was born in New Zealand 🇳🇿 so your reply is pointless,
Plus the current Wallabies got more Islanders then the current All Blacks.
The future is bright for both teams. Great stuff 🇦🇺🇳🇿
Richie's comment at the end, about hanging in there, with blood dripping down from his eye, sums up the determination of that team pretty well....
Bro all blacks are goatedddd!!!
The great seson ever ✌🔥
Best team ever that era not sure if we will ever see another ❤💯💪🏾
A fabulous team, a fabulous era, and one that might not be repeated. There was a special mix of talents and personalities. I don't think we'll see an AB era match this, the rest of the world has also taken strides and closed the gap
i miss Steve Hansen and his sense of humor
Ben Smith was an exceptional test player. He always took his game to the next level in the Black jersey. A definite in my All Black GOAT team, unfortunately at #14. Cullen has to be #15.

This team broke my heart ye beat my Ireland in the final minutes I literally cried when ye won
Hearty
and i bet the Abs broke ur heart again in the QF match against ireland 😂
...👀👌🏿💯💯.Quelle Équipe - Simplement Fantastique.....💯💯💯❤️
Those 2 matches in October against SA were the peak of rugby. 2013 Jean De Villers and 2014 Hoooooghaland, amaizing to watch those matches
And no team has achieved this since.
ALL BLACKS💪
Ahh England 🏴 did in 2016 to be honest with you.
@@baileygilbert4766 The Mighty All Blacks bro💪
The 2013 All Blacks team & The 2016 England 🏴 team are the only international Rugby Union teams that go undefeated/100% in the professional era(1995-present),
Who will be the third team to go undefeated in their respective year??? My guess will be another All Black team in the future,
And go the All Blacks👊🏽✌🏽😎!!!.
ABs did this with running rugby and not boring
I miss this team
NSW
Best ever . . . enough said.
Gee Kieran Read was good in his prime.
Best team ever
Very nice. Very nice
The best 👌 👍
Best selection ever of a team and should be a lesson for all selectors to study each member of the team for a new all blacks team close to this team
Man that kit was so clean
Thats what was missing in the games last year against france and ireland, the hunger to go all out till the end.
Yeah as a springbok supporter here I'll say that the Keeran Reed Richie McCaw era was the best for me I don't think the world will ever see a better rugby team than what that was 😂😂😂😂they had the ability to make me so sad
Ahhh the glory of past years... hopefully we can emulate that again in my lifetime. Its hard to get excited about a game now under the current regime. We still have the same issues every year since 2016 from positions 1 - 8 - will 2022 be any different?
Only Ardie and Aaron dominant their positions. We used to have 5, 6 or 7 positions where the ABs dominated internationally. Can't see that changing for a few years yet mate.
@@gpan3762 we will be lucky if it ever changes,sadly.
@@richardscanlan3167 haha come on boys, you two are sounding like the all blacks haven't had a bad run before, this isn't the warriors 😂
@@gpan3762 Smith is class but Dupont is clearly the best 9 in the world now. Aaron is in the twilight of his years
All blacks all the way 👌👌👌
The best team ever and the 2015 team the best teams ever my opinion anyway anyone care to differ
💪🏼👊🏼🤘🏼♥️
❤️
Makes you realise how old some of our stars are in 2022. Where are the young tight forwards? Great side, great coach
The McCawesomes
All black everything!
sometimes they look like kids as in just enjoying themselves and good on them
2013 Ben Smith & Kieran Read were at their best
Stark contrast to the 2021 season lol

tough for Ireland losing that one
An early charge ...oh dear
Be along time till we see this again. Unless change happens
Brilliant season. Trouble is, too many daft buggers expect the same every outing. Some of the happiest folks ended up being the English and Irish clubs, in particular, that profited immensely from some superb former AB's, that still have years left in their 'tanks'. Those fine New Zealanders have certainly enhanced the successes of their respective employers up North. Some of them made International status. You don't see too many Northerners leaving such markers down South. Says a lot for the magnificent New Zealand rugby culture.
The NZ rugby culture is all but dead.As you say,the north have profited,years of strip mining NZ rugby has weakened NZ rugby to where we are now.
@@richardscanlan3167 ……I fear you’re right Richard. For the sake of trying to appear progressive, the studiously constructed infrastructure & hard won culture of NZ rugby is being used to raise up the sons of other lands, meaning it barely represents the average NZer anymore. The true lack of loyalty to NZ is being openly displayed more and more every year. It’s getting old.
@@biggest23 I can't argue with anythingyou say.I wish I could - but both of us know what you say is true.
All you have now are players who are in it solely for themselves - and they sell themselves to the highest bidder.
The real enemy of NZ rugby - the home unions/France are well aware of this.
They've won,I don't expect NZ will ever be anything more than a middle of the road team - years of stripping our game has paid off big time.
That'll be because NZ provincial rugby is only open to AB qualified players. NH rugby isn't. How can NH players make a mark in SH rugby when none of them have the opportunity play Super Rugby?
@@bodhid are you serious?
The only NH players NZ rugby would attract are those who are past their prime - and can't get a contract at home,or those who are prepared to take a pay cut to play here.
At the end of the day,it's all about money - and the north has more of it.
Gob-smacking.. for a country of 5m, half that men/women.. then half that again for player ABLE to play rugby.. then choose those that will play for your country... just STOP and think about THAT!! So proud to be a citizen of this great nation.. just wish the politicians played as well as the rugby players do, but that's pretty much the same in all countries..

Yes. 1 great example is Orangetheory Stadium in Christchurch.
