- This is the rugby league World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand. Australia went into the game as hot favourites, as they were undefeated through pool play, including a convincing victory against the Kiwis in their opening match, as well as winning 9 of the 12 previous world cups, and the last 6 on the trot. New Zealand, though, had the tougher build-up, with consecutive tests against England to win their way through to the final, while Australia had trashed Fiji in its semi-final. This was played on November 22, 2008, at Suncorp Stadium (Lang Park), Brisbane.

Watched this game over a 1000 times....Still the Best.
The Kiwis Haka in the Final is still the Best Haka ever. Fierce and Passionate all in one Great Kiwis squad.
@M Don't ruin the moment, it ain't even worth it
Best version of nz anthem by far Geoff Sewell -amazing ..........set the tone for the match
i don't think people realize what an achievement this is,australia had a stellar star packed team,I think the aussie's were in a state of shock,and never recovered.
Good on you Benji Marshall you are will always be a Great Rugby league player you and the Kiwis squad will always be remembered for this Great win over the Wangaroos 😁
Just goes to show the wallobs are human I can't stop watching this over and over ohhh take that name off and put nz kiwis on thank you pure gold
So many grubs in that roo scratch side. Makes it all so much satisfying
Well done to to the video ref
But I got to say that the Wise great nrl coach Wayne Bennett was a very good coach to the Kiwi squad thank you Wayne Bennett. I wish Stephen Kearney could of learned some pointers or something from Wayne but obviously not the fool.
Awesome,
!!!
Cam Smith and his team turned into pumpkins hahaha that's gold
THE BEST NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 RUGBY LEAGUE 🏈 TEAM TO EVER FACE THE AUSTRALIA KANGAROOS IN THE RUGBY LEAGUE 🏈 WORLD CUP 🏆 FINAL WERE THE NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 KIWIS RUGBY LEAGUE TO WIN THE RUGBY LEAGUE 🏈 WORLD CUP 🏆 2008 PROUD OF OUR NZ KIWI TEAM
The Aussie in the crowd didn't like that when you lifted the cup Caylis mean maori mean
Hahaha the Wolfman in Disney land
that’s what happens when you challenge the Haka victory is sweet 👏✊
So the walloby crowd start walking out hahahaha
Don't know why the aussies booing the ref he's an aussie
One of the best Kangaroos side ever assembled for a World Cup final and they got beaten.
As the aussies would say mate that's gold from our kiwi team
the disrespect.....
The aussies had their name printed a month ago sori bout it you can take it off hahaha
These aussie commentators are rubbish penalty try full stop hahaha pure gold
How can the aussies get player of the day when they lost mmmm
Rick Stewart = Losing coach. Makes a habit of stuffing it up in finals.
2002 NRL Premiership,2005 origin series,Anzac Tests 2006 ,2007, 2006 Tri-Nations.
But I'm sure your coaching record is much better.
I watch this shit when im sad lol
The "World" cup when 99.9% of the "world" have never even heard of Rugby League :)
LEGEND! I've been looking for this forever!
Thanks alot:-)
It's slightly vexing that the one of the commentators insinuate that being Aussie or Kiwi should matter at 1:08:30, It's clearly not a try but a valiant effort, and if it was given it wouldn't seem fair, coming from a Kiwi. Great defence as usual from the Kangeroos, loved the Anzac test this year!
If we retain the RLWC in 2013 it will be awesome, It was amazing the feat the 2008 squad achieved as in comparison to 2013 squad the 2008 squad is way weaker. GO Kiwis
Wayne Bennet you legend
Great description
Come on boys, lets do the same thing next week!
nz the legend!!!!
Also that comment from the NZ commentator "Thurston hasn't had a game he will be proud of... Guess he doesn't think JT puts pride in his defence"
Feels good to hold the trophy once again , better luck next time lol don't see you winning next World Cup either lol
eu tenho o orgulho de se rugbero
had to wait 5 years but Australia 2013 world champs, once again LOL
In 2013, it is some.
That push back penalty was BS. Well done NZ great game. But wow. That call bemuses me
We beat the Juggernaut that is the kangaroos once every twenty games, they are and always will be the benchmark , that is why it is always sweet to beat them..... Cos it doesnt happen very often.
We had ALOT of calls go our way, that night, but to beat the aussies you have to!
To beat them you need:
Every call to go your way.
Every player to be available- and in form
The Aussies to be a little off
WAYNE BENNET! lmao!
Stars to be in alignment
Tailwind and running downhill!
That night this happened.
Look what happened this world cup when u dont..... We got owned
wow this aussie commentator is terrible so biased to the aussies
david Williams always seems to play terrible in big games lol
Haha Aussies
