Didnt realise how poor quality the footage was when we used to watch
Footage from ~1995-2005 looks shit. Same for cricket. Older archive footage actually looks better. I think some places started storing footage on VHS to save money?

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.
The good thing about that 1 win was Rennie was the coach. More importantly during that season he course corrected when the players couldn't adapt to the pod system they were trying to play and brought their complaints to him.

Kahui was unlucky with a) injuries and b) the fact his career coincided with Nonu, Smith and SBW.
He'd absolutely walk into the ABs at 13 if he was playing today.

Had a bit of mongrel too. Threw those shoulders around with gay abandon.

Hardest hitting midfielder since Alama Ieremia.

Saw this one the other day. I caught the second half live, paid $2 for the game from memory. Those were the days.
Isotolo Maka was an absolute beast. His brief AB career is such a source of frustration. Could well have been the most intimidating No 8 in history.
Andrew Blowers also looked like a man amongst boys out there.
Spencer was awesome.
Cullen good if not spectacular. He was playing centre though ( John Hart must have watched )
A very skinny looking James Kerr got the better of Joe Roff that day too ! a couple of sharp tries.

That was not a fun watch at the time for a young schoolboy in the crowd, but I was always a fan of Davies from that day onwards.

Not close to the greatest try and a terrible bait and switch, I thought I was going to watch Cullen in full flight, not Fleming and his 90210 sideburns.

Hopeless. He only beat about five defenders.

I had a video of that tour, I used to watch it all the time. JK scores a try at Concord in the test and he has to avoid NZ supporters when trying to dot down.
