This is why I love NZ rugby. Yes they’re so skilled, so competent and so able. But this is much more than sport to them, this is about heritage, legacy and family. It’s more than just a game, it’s a reflection of the values they hold dear to them. Respect for their skill no doubt, but honour for how they hold themselves👍🏾

[@misskirilee]

This hits so much harder seeing Sean there 😢 he was such a heart and soul player…hearts are still hurting, brother ❤

[@haraldflohr2058]

What a legend, what a loss

And you wonder why NZ rugby is so unstoppable. Brilliant.

Not unstoppable anymore, but still great video.

[@keepingitlowlow9506]

@@dantewalters5209 they still are....every team wants to beat them because of their status, to take the throne u have to challenge the King and they are by far the pinnacle of world rugby.

[@dantewalters5209]

@@keepingitlowlow9506 The All Blacks will always be up there and about, but with SA rugby at last seemingly getting their house in order and England with their powerful youth system, the tide is turning. The All Blacks have been losing more often in recent years. South African rugby is very unpredictable because of its wobbly structure at top administration level, but currently I feel that they are man for man a better team than the All Blacks.
