- George Gregan is arguably the greatest scrumhalf to ever play for Australia. He played in an era where his biggest rivals were Van Der Westhuizen, Marshall, Galthie and Dawson. In a golden age of international scrumhalves, he ranks among the best.

At one stage he was probably the most hated man in New Zealand, hated because he was too damn good, hated but respected all the same! "FOUR MORE YEARS!!!" 😢😢😢
Hasn’t aged at all Gorgeous George!
My favourite rugby player ever
gregan schooled the kiwis, time and time again. he'll never be beaten
Size means nothing when you have the talent, skills and heart of a lion...He had all those attributes. Was privileged to meet him in a bar in Sydney after the final lions test 2013. Legend and humble guy
ANGRY KOALA was the nickname. So much passion and heart.
An absolute legend on and off the field! Top bloke!
When Australia had a great team and captain
Last time Aussie was great
2015 Wallabies were well that year they won the Rugby Championship and made it to the World Cup Final now 2023 they are a laughing stock.
Genius George……..loved to watch you play……thanks🇦🇺
No disrespect to Marshy but Gregan and Joost had it over him by a loooooong way!

A solid scrumhalf.
One of the toughest players to put on a Wallabies jersey.
One of the toughest players to put on any rugby jersey.
One of the great scrumhalves, but whenever i see footage of George my eyes look for his mate Larkham. Was an era that seemed to produce terrific Bledisloe Cup matches.
"Everyone loves George". Strangely very popular in NZ as well. Perhaps they also remember a great era in Bledisloe games.
THIS WAS A LEGEND, I LOVE U GEORGY. FAN CAPETOWN👊✊
You deserve way more subscribers for the amount of work you put into finding all this content

@@MeanAzz_13 thanks for the support mate. We have done one on Rupeni, just search for it :-)
Especially considering the lack of material to work with!
The GOAT
I wish there was more footage of the guys that George Gregan had to get past here in Australia to get to the Wallaby spot. Guys like Peter Slattery, "Champagne" Sam Payne and of course Steve Merrick, the man who took Gregan's spot in the Wallabies and then all of a sudden just retired back to his farm. All of them were great players, and just to think- there were guys like Aubin Hueber, Werner Swanepoel and Chris Whitaker whom at any other stage would have been mainstays in their national teams; it really was a great time for the aficionado of the scrum-half.
Payne was ok, but I remember Steve Merrick he was a fiery n tough little bugger! I think he had blond wavy hair I could be wrong, n thinking of Whittaker.
From a *Kiwi* 🇳🇿👍🏽
Best half-back of all time.
20 years on and I still look back with great memories of cheering, jumping up and down and awe.
How did Rugby Australia regress after the Gregan, Larkham, Smith, etc...? How did that happen??
All hail Greegz ! All hail Greegz ! *echoing shwiches of 10000 swords like Dune for Lord Gregan*
8:55 how was that not a knock on? The ref was staring right at him when he drop the ball WTF
3:08 secs I'm left so
Shocked surprised
(1996) Brumbies
Wallabies the quality
Us horrible but
Yeah it brings back
Memories as I played
14 years the feeling
Never leaves us did
You know that our
Neurological our body
Remembers and stores
All the good for the
Better and then best$
damn he knew how to rub the salt in, him and Kearnsey . .right pair a bastards :-))
AB's fan ;-)
I didn't know he took field goals... his passing was mean as
Dupont is the man these days but he isn't kicking drop goals or dribbling the ball like its soccer out of the ruck and over the line.
Gregan is originally from Zambia - good 9 but then there is Joost vd Westhuizen and Fourie du Preez ( all 3 RWC winners including Matt Dawson) Great 9's always win a RWC medal
He was born in same hospital as Corne Krige.
Gregan's father was Australian and his mother was from Zimbabwe although he was born in Zambia he moved to Canberra Australia at the age of 2,
Gregan also won a world cup in 1999
He still looks like he could don a Wallabies Jersey & cut it today...
had to come back and remind myself why I first supported the wallabies, 2023 squad and eddie jones are the absolute worst!
Excellent distributor of the ball but average running game means he cannot be considered in the top echelon with the likes of Edwards, Going, Loveridge and Catchpole, or even with Farr-Jones, Des Connor and Hipwell. Contemporaries van der Westhuizen and Marshall were more rounded with ability to break, and physique be a ‘fourth loosie’ when needed. When you can only find a few support play tries in a career of ten years, and have to replay these three times in slow motion to pad out the video you know there’s not much material there.
Lol what are you talking about? Gregan was a better herder of his forwards than any of his contemporaries. His brains trust with larkham was what elevated the brumbies and the wallabies to the top of the echelon for close to a decade. You watch how he directs and positions his forwards before he passes it to larkham to launch the attack it was second to none.
Ouch that's brutal, I thought he was brilliant myself
