On JK I was at a lunch in Brisbane a few years back, and he was asked the who he thought the best player he had played with or against, he said without doubt it was JK. He only had one call on the field "Give me the ball", and then was a nightmare to try and tackle.

.... ah... pretty critical bit of information missing there sorry @Dan54 ... who was asked?

I’m picking David Campese or Paul Carozza. The latter was a very dirty player, blatantly nosing Richard Loe in the forearm. Should have been banned for life.

Geez Kruse, you can see I usually only on computer while watching tv or something !:confounded_face:
It was ex Wallaby captain Andrew Slack!

Some classic tries here. I'd argue that DC's second try against the Lions in 2005 and Jonah Lomu's fourth try Vs England in 1995 are better than the ones chosen for this vid.

@sparky Looks like an aspiring Rasta touch judge for the try scored by the 13. He had his flag up when the ball was at least a metre in play!!!!

Played with John Orwin the England second row

Twilight of his career, still a monster

Ten legendary French World Cup tries.

I want to see this all-time XV of Rupeni and XIV Cantabs/Crusaders immediately.

Been going over some old (2001) footage of Rupeni playing for Northland, enough said!

@nostrildamus rugbypass are pretty shit at highlights packages eh? Didn't think I'd get bored of watching Rupeni score tries, but after 3 replays of the walk in try and the longest segment being his walk back after the second try, I bailed.

Yeah I only made it to the second try. The highlight for me was hearing the commentators whinge about forwards in the backline.

I was going to send you the Caleb Ralph/Scott Hamilton double header but I won’t bother now

Topical when one of our major distributors for the ABs is E de Groot (not that it is his decision I'm sure).

Well that's a shame because he smokes Mils and Dougie halfway through. His son, Jnr, is apparently faster, about 19, and playing in France for Montpelier academy, scoring 5 tries in 5 games.

I have a short attention span.

I guess the French will get their grubby mits on his son then if he's good enough.

Tony Stanger with one of the great Scots tries at 21.41. Inspirational stuff.

Earle Kirtons commentary is simply superb. His is one of the great colour commentator voices.

2004 Bled.

Latham was a fucking good player

@Daffy-Jaffy Snake. The absolute king of knowing what else was going on around him on a rugby field.

The absolute best not particularly athletic player ever. Pretty extraordinary career and what a combination he had with Nonu.....

I was at that game. Goldsmith was only 18 then. Loved rucks in that era.

@Nepia he absolutely smoked Campese in that series
From memory it was hyped up their meeting.

A recent upload by Allblacks YouTube channel......

Cullens last game in NZ.

The look on his face when he gets the standing ovation.

The size of the crowd for an NPC game!

The good old days.

Was at this game with my old man. There to see my favourite player play his final game in Welly.

Still the GOAT in my eyes.

Sheesh to be a Wellington fan in the 2000s, I think we made 7 finals between 2000 - 2009 and only won 1.
