I was thinking the same thing, it gets really frustrating when the referee is blowing the whistle all the time, especially as they are so inconsistent. No elements of obvious dangerous play, let them get on with it. Although that being said, man can the Kiwi players cheat like hell

One of those moments in a game you didn't care who scored just so long as you could have a breather! Amazing passage of play

Ben Smith did everything he could to sweep up and launch some good counters. What a FB he was

Ben Smith you absolute beauty. Perfect placement on defence in the backfield to regather the ball, great communication to get the pass to stick. He had pace, a nice step, astute running lines, vision and more that's not showcased in this video. He had everything.

Amazing end to end, side to side, team to team, exhausted watching it

Effectivement, superbe et intense pendant 3 minutes !!!

Wow ,what a brillant demo of skills and hell runs , fan so far of these well played games ! 👍👍a french fan 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

2:25 can someone explain why the ball carrier was able to get back up without releasing the ball?

@alexisrnay8476

He wasn't on both knees and he was still in movement, if he stopped moving during the tackle then get up it would be a fault.

@liamfairbrother

Agreeing with Alexis in that technically the tackle was not complete, so he did not have to release the ball. A tackle is complete when the ball carrier is brought to the ground; this is judged by the knees touching the ground while being held by the opposition.

Stunning rugby!!

Pure class all over that field. Messam, Nanai-Williams, Smith, Nonu, Gear, Woodcock, Thorne... The list goes on! As a Springbok supporter, this era of NZ rugby was amazing, 2011 through 2015! ABs were unbeatable! If this game happened today, there would have been 13 red cards in that passage of play! ha ha! Wish the officiating would go back to a little more like this.

Forgot Woodcock, Gear and Nonu played that one year for the Highlanders.

Ben Smith sparking up every counter attack but unfortunately the ‘Landers just couldn’t hold onto the ball

c'est super !

I echo all the comments that say, “this video did not disappoint!!”

When you get a prop passing like Woodcock did at 1:35

Talk about rugby in its purest form

Penalty without avantage going unnoticed at 2"27 but that's great for the show!

Diese 3 Minuten hatten mehr Power als manches Spiel über 80 Minuten.

automatic penalty and card for the guy on the ground who takes the 9 at 0:40s!

All the whining about the music, you'd think they'd picked the Gerogerigegege or Hanatarash or something. I mean, I don't think it was a good idea either but it's not as if it's impossible to ignore, especially with the amazing footage underneath.

I remember a schools match with a passage like this! The kids didn't make as many mistakes as these guys, and their defenses actually functioned, and there wasn't a blatant foul in the middle, but still, exciting stuff for sure!! Those of you who love this clip, you should watch Sevens-it's full of this kind of play.

Alors oui c joli physiquement sauf pour les avants,c spectaculaire et à l'image du rugby sud

things youll only find in super rugby and in NZ rugby

That's how rugby should be played! Not a shity crossfeild kick in sight. Players have either lost the ability to think on their feet have the guts to run the with the ball or lack skill today. Games gone to boring

The music kinda ruins it.

Is it me or are the players back then, especially the All Blacks like Nonu, Ben Smith etc were way better then the current lot? Or has rugby changed so much that it's all about milking penalties so the game is messy now.
