That Dan Carter, Umaga, Laulala, Muliaina and Rocokoko backline was monsterous! Will never forget the days!

Spencer was awesome too, he worked very well with Rokocoko especially

@@solkimmyjones I will always choose Carlos Spencer over Carter. Carter was greater statistically speaking, but King Carlos was just so much more exciting to watch like a bloody rugby magician.

Laulala? I'm sure he only played 1 test.

Dont forget maa nonu lol

I still don't think I have seen a winger with more flair than him. For all the well deserved praise Lomu receives, I got to say Rokocoko is the best winger to put on the all blacks jersey in my opinion.

+tysonuk The games played in a diffrent form now I reckon, the AB's have SO many great center backs it seems the wingers get less of a change of scoring as to back then. But AB's have Savea, and hes one of a very best, still young with plenty of miles still in him. Wait and see ;)

I have no doubt in my mind Savea will go down in history as the best. At least for a short period anyway.

tysonuk Nooo.. he is very good yes of course, but not the best. Hey watch the doco '100 YEARS OF ALL BLACK RUGBY AT HOME'. Im actually picking John Kirwan on wing! The guy was a machine! I didnt know how good he actually was as I was too young then. But heck, he was amazing. Please try and watch it.

+tysonuk I think he was extremely underrated when compared to Lomu. Although Savea has now surpassed Lomu's shadow, I always thought Joe sparked the era of the "full package" winger.

Saveas awesome but I think he lacks flair. JR is the most skillfull winger of all time.

My dad Use to call him Joe fast fucking Coco.

One of his biggest supporters. He carved my beloved Springboks up back in the day.

Whenever I think of the good old rugby days the first thing that comes to mind is that dive from Rokococo

Who else is here after he announced his retirement

"LEGEND" one of if not the best winger ever!

Joe went to my school in pakuranga and his mum and dad lived down my road when I was growing up. I remember walking home one night when he almost hit me with his orange jeep lol. He was my fuck'n idol growing up man and I love watching these especially now with the RWC2015 going on.

+caza00caza I also went to St Kents and boarded at Bruce House. I was a couple years younger than Rokocoko so I only met him a few times during school, and watched him played in the 1st XV. We are sons of Kentigern! Wonder how Mr. Cowie is doing....

he practically invented the hit and spin and the pirouette spinning side step, he was great for NZ and the Blues, miss him

One of the most lethal winger to play the game

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS!!! RESPECT!!

At his peak during the first half of his career he was damn near unstoppable. Great video.

Great ball carrier, excellent finisher, brilliant explosive pace and power, but his only weaknesses was his positional defense and work under the high ball, still a great winger in his time.

Air Rokocoko. Loved watching rugby when Joe was at the top of his game, with the finishing dive landing that he took to just another notch level up. Great watch.

Too Much Speed

Joe had it all man , one of the most complete wingers to play the game....he punished us and every other team many a time.👏👏🇿🇦🤙

Definitly one of the most exciting players in his prime!

3:14 ran through some legends on this run Botha Matfield Devilliers and Burger hahaha

will always be my favourite player

can't even imagine playing against rokocoko on the left wing, and sivivatu on the right hahah such a deadly combination

guy was an absolute beast in his prime. One of my favourite players.

FUK i miss this guy one of the best wings for the ABS

Although - I gotta admit that it was nice having Roks and Sivivatu in the same team for as long as we did

Some of the best footy ever! And some great names from the past. Awesome memories

I used to like rugby a lot more back then. Not sure why, but all the players were so unique

3:11 one of the most brilliant individual try's you will see at international level

My Gooosh, what a player! He really was great wasn't he! Miss you Joe Rokocoko!

LEGEND

dont get me wrong, i love watching savea, jane, and dagg wreak havoc in the back three for the all blacks, but i used to love watching the combination of rokocoko, sivivatu, and muliaina

Great Clip, I forgot how bloody good he was back in the day.

No doubt one of the most exciting player in an all blacks jersey.

Legend. I use to love watching the all blacks when he was on

you're the man rokz ! come back again someday

one of the best of all time for sure

Thanks for the Memories Joe! DA MAN!! 👌👍🤙

There's a clip somewhere of that try against France where he did a complete spin, this guy was so light on his feet.

that grubber kick and chase was beast

He was really an X factor player.. it was a shame the All blacks used him then chucked him out in his prime and they've paid the price heavily without him. He was awesome on the left wing so why change him to the right where he hardly got the ball and then coaches say he's lost form.. dumb az. What a delight to see Joe play and those famous dives 🙂

Smoothest dive of all time

That roll on his back to score that try was great, that's O'Driscoll level of skill that.

3:57 the rocket man !! Damn 100% agree. He is fast

He Makes it Look Very Easy haha I think his only jogging from the 50m 😂 Thats why you slow down when chip the ball.. Imagine he went full speed 🉐

Rokocoko introduced us to the vertical fend. It's a Fijian trademark. Instead of stretching the arm out, the arm stays down but stiff. And when you hit them, you only hit and hold on to the arm, not the body, and they brush you aside.

Rocket Joe.

Hardworking wing, really earned his money on the day.. Bless him..

NZ couldn't snap up Caucau and probably thought Rokocoko (also Fijian) was going to become a greater player. NZ got Rokocoko but if they had snatched up Caucau to play for NZ he would have done wild magic for them and also I reckon he'd still be playing top flight super rugby and international rugby. But credit to Caucau for sticking to Fiji - you cant beat the pride in playing for your home country. And I have to say that Joe has done EXTREMELY WELL for NZ anyways..

Love Rokocoko........ massive bloke but played like a super lithe small guy.......... EPIC STYLE POINTS

2:35 disgusting trip there after a neck stretcher. What a prat.

Straight up legend

Undoughtbly the best finishers of the game - the fijian flyers: rococoko, sivivatu,caucau,vunibaka,Naholo, Nadolo,reece,delasau,tuqiri,radradraradra,tuisova,goneva,bobo and a dozen others to name.

If you notice most of Rok's highlights are approx '03 to '06(and rightly so). Mind you he played for NZ till around 2011. I think his major problem was that around '06 to '07he put on noticeable bulk and moved from an elusive burn you with pace player (think around '03 where he was 90kgs or a little over at best) to around '08 onwards (where he was over 100 kgs) and was first, a more physically confrontational player and less elusive. This shift in ideology i believe was his greatest undoing.

Obviously. He's a well accomplished rugby player, legendary All Black as well as winger, St.Kent's legend, role model for aspiring young pacific players, classy showman and to top it off a very humble person. Whereas im just a 17 year old prop forward who tried to emulate his favourite wings dive in a secondary's college match.. Good Call Sherlock

At his peak, Joe wore jet shoes and had jet pace.

Big shoes to fill after Jonah left but boy he absolutely carved up.

Rokocoko, quite possibly the best winger to bless a rugby pitch

the most underated player of all time

gotta love the spin step!

he was a really good winger, but when it came to around 2010-2011, thats where he caked it

I have always admire the way this guy scores a try ..... In the air ..... with a leap ..... lol

All Blacks god of rugby!! LOVE ALL BLACKS!!! LOVE RUGBY!!!

i remember this guy back when he was in his prime... mr untouchable try scoring machine!!

Miss these days :(

Rokocoko's resume says otherwise.

Dude would go beast mode every time he played africa

The try at 3:24 how the hell do you even do that against South Africa. Pure brilliance

ROCKATHOCKO HAHAHA brings back memories THE GOOSE STEP KING THIS GUYS IS THE ALLEN IVERSON OF RUGBY

ただ速いだけじゃないウィングってホントカッコいい。

That spin and offload against France (0:22), does anyone have a full link of that, that was some dazzling leg work, and led to a try, if I recall correctly.

hes got a higher try count and ratio and percentage than Lomu. He should always be in the conversation of best winger to ever play the game.

3:57 best try I've ever seen.

2:56 - What dreams are made of!

Dammmm no wonder he's was called the rocket man, the moment he takes they be lucky to catch him 😮😮😮

what a playeer he was!!!!!!!

2:48 He looks like he's thinking "Holy s*** I caught it!"

best ever!!!GONNA MISS EM!!!!

WHAT A PLAYER!!!!!

When he started he went around people near the end he could go around and through people easily

the mans still only 30.. he can still come play for the All Blacks when ever

WOOOOOOW !!!!! Roko the Punisher !! :)

That laast try was something else

My granddad use to call him Joe wanna cup of cocoa. I miss them both!

Great player

best joe rocks vid!

Best all black winger

Spencer, Umaga，Kelleher ，Muliaina， Rakocoko 。This is all black‘s dream-line！

one of the best wings

One of the All Black stars that was born in Fiji

HE IS THE BEST

Joe was a James Cook man! Got a scholarship to go st kents for 7th form. He never forgot where his stomping grounds were :) for me the best winger the all blacks have had. Rate him higher then Jonah! Haha. Step hit and spin!

what was the music that went through the whole video

much better tribute than the habanna one

What a beast!

My God! Could you imagine what the All Blacks could have done if they had Lomu and Rocokoko in the same team?? DRRROOOOOLLLL

yes, yes it is

Yea that's why it's called a Fijian trademark. Fijians have been doing it for 50 years. But Rokocoko just hahppened to be the first high profile All Black, so he has more TV exposure than previous Fijians.

3:16 I'm lost for words....

That pommy broke trying to trip him at 2:40!

blatant knock on at 3:10 followed by handling on the floor.

the sad thing was that after the 2007 world cup he was never the same player since, he just didn't have that same spark that made him great. Shame :( as I was such a HUGE admire of him. Him and Douggie were the best combo
