All Black hero was Jonah Lomu, 6ft 4, 274lbs, and could run the 100metres in under 11 seconds, and with kidney disease.He died at 40 years from a heart attack His funeral haka at his rugby feild is so moving is so emotional to watch. He was revered by all fans all over the World
Oh wow, thanks for telling me about him! He sounds like an impressive athlete and a good person. What a loss for the culture.
What an amazing player he was.. RIP.🇬🇧
@@JJLAReacts there are a couple of videos on TH-cam about him, including his funeral haka
Mike Catt: Don't mention JL! 1995 was a bad year!
Don't forget he was rugby's first global superstar
An Aussie here, the All Blacks are my favourite rugby team👍
I was a Phys Ed teacher at a fairly large secondary school in South Auckland several years back when we had a school visit of several American high school teachers who were looking at the way we were dealing with mixed race issues and teaching in less desirable socio-economic parts of the city. The Phys Ed teacher, or "Coach" who was with them was interested to see the school had six rugby teams, from the elite 1st 15 down to a rather lowly 6th 15. He asked me why we had six rugby teams. He was a bit surprised when I replied that there weren't enough kids interested in playing to fill a 7th 15. Apparently in the States if you aren't good enough to make the school team you're a spectator whereas in NZ everyone who wants to play will have an opportunity to.
There have been a few cases where someone who was not good enough at school to make the top team got really interested by having the opportunity to play and after school went on to excel at club level.
It really shows that you have to give students who aren't naturally talented a fair go, with practice they can become great
Ben Smith is a perfect example of this. IIRC he didn’t make his high school first XV. Went on to do amazing things for the All Blacks.
@@eannamcnamara9338not just that, we have to remember why sports exist in the first place. People enjoyed playing the sport. Everybody who wants to play sport should have an opportunity to do so. Rugby in particular is a sport for all shapes and sizes which makes it a perfect game because no matter how you’re built there is a place and role for you.
@@ernestcunningham Absolutely!
Firstly: The Haka is NOT a dance. Although that's the closest word that English has to define it. Rather it's a 'challenge' and whilst you could you argue is done to intimidate the opposition, it's actually also done as a sign of respect towards the opposition. Ie....."we are warriors and we see you as warriors too"
Source - I'm an Aotearoan Māori ...even if my name doesn't suggest so lol.
Loving your reactions towards the game bro. Keep watching and and hint.....keep watching The All Black's, they are by far THE most entertaining team in the world by a large margin.
Haka means Dance in Maori. Kamate Kamate, is a particular Haka used by the All Blacks. Different Haka are done at funerals, birthdays, graduations. welcomings etc. A good haka makes the ground shake, and the chests go red.
NZ have been multiple world champions in rugby,cricket,league,hockey,softball,netball,rowing even sailing they currently hold the Americas cup the pinnacle of sailing softball and hockey wouldn't even make their top 10 sports yet they've been multiple world champions in both softball 6 times also they got to the semifinal of the FIBA world cup in 2002.They also finished in the top 5 per capita at the last Olympics so as you can see NZ are more than just a rugby nation with a population of only 5 million they're a great sporting nation
Yes they're the best sporting nation in the world by a country mile if population is taken into account
And Joseph Parker won the WBO boxing belt lol we will still take take even though he’s loss a lot since lol
South Africa vs New Zealand in the Final this weekend is going to be crazy its been 28 years since they've met in a final
Nz were playing with 14 basically the entire time thanks to Sam cane (the worst captain in all blacks history) and South Africa were playing with 15 + the refs. And last time they met in a final the South Africans gave the entire all blacks team food poisoning. And yet in both games with Nz having a major disadvantage, we still only went down by less than a try in both. Also, get ready for the all blacks to win 3 in a row with razor coming in as head coach
@@Moz859Fact SA could barely beat france and england, and got rather questionable penalties (whch they uniquely have a knack to make appear) sums it up about them. NZ would have won with 15 on the field easily. Didn't help kicks kept being missed but still.
There's something about that maori blood, they all seem like big chilled out teddy bears but are some of the most built for combat.
They do pretty well in the ufc too.
Look into some vids about Jonah Lomu, an All Black legend and colossus, he was a machine... Sadly died far too soon. RIP Jonah
Thanks for telling me about him. I just saw another comment about how great he was. Sounds like a truly great person. Cheers 🍻
@@JJLAReacts Jonah Lomu was responsible for making the game what it is today. He somehow transcended rugby and became the most famous player on the planet. He was even asked to play American Football but refused to continue with rugby. The irony is he had Nephrites syndrome and had a kidney transplant. When you see his videos, he would likely at 50-70% fitness. Imagine what would have been like if he was at 100%

@@JJLAReactsol daryl put a word in for Jonah, I'll also add to that. Clue in to Jonahs Counties Rugby and ENZED representative Rugby team bro, The Pukekohe smiling wing Joeli Vidiri. He was rugby magic but also uncannily suffered with nephrotic kidney syndrome in the same time period as Jonah Lomu. Sadly His life was taken far too soon aswell. (Rip big guy) Counties for life✊. " Give me hope Joeli... Give me.. Hope Joeli..."
This was a great reaction! "5th in the world, dont beat yourself up too much" 😂
Kia ora bro from Aotearoa New Zealand. Nice review 👌. Like your calming demina in this world of loud.
Hey there. Just watched a few of your videos... and I've just subscribed. I'm British , but what made me subscribe is that you seem like a really cool and open-minded person with a generous heart. I hope your channel does really well !
My son's mate's sister plays rugby with the boys at age 12-13(now), the boys hate when she bests them & go hard on her, she's tough as. Believe she goes into girls next yr in college with all the other girls who experienced the same....so between that & rugby in our blood & wired in our brains, of course our warrior women are dominating the sport. 🖤🪴 (Love the Black Ferns! - yeah, that's a fern in a pot NOT a fng pineapple).
Great commentary,you picked it up really well.Tomorrow is World Cup final All Blacks(NZ)vs Springboks(SA) in Paris. 🤘🏼🇳🇿🏴🖤Go Black
Hours away! GO ALL BLACKS!!!! 🇳🇿🖤 👉🏆🎉 I won't get too much sleep, too excited!
Japan's League One is really becoming an enjoyable league to watch. I live in Japan and go to many games, it is incredible to see many of the top SA, NZ and AUS players here, so glad the league is growing.
Being born and raised in New Zealand I too played rugby growing up but I quit it to pursue a career as a Rock Star and yea that didn’t work out
Kia ora, bro! Welcome to the World of Aotearoa. Been enjoying your reactions these last few weeks, and now you have plug into the MAIN CHANNEL! *laughs* pai katoa e taku hoa!
Once you become a fan YOU BECOME A FAN 😂 trust me rugby is a lot of fun to watch it carrys so much history and culture
Check out the Women's Rugby World Cup (most recent), it was epic on so many levels.
Well I think New Zealand's dominance in World Rugby after the World Cup final this year has waned a bit. South Africa manage to win it yet again
“Managed” was a good word choice
Just letting you know the CURRENT RUGBY RANKINGS as from this week is South Africa ranks No1 followed by New Zealand
Regarding your remark about other teams being able to do their own chants at the beginning of games, some do, especially countries like Tonga and other Pacific Island nations. You should check them out.
Kiwi here,we are now, having player's from around the world show up to play rugby, there's a young Lady from Hawaii that loved Rugby,came to NZ, got into the NZ Black fern's,and now she's a Rugby World champion
Another young girl from California came out on a school trip, Went home afterwards,told Mum and Dad she's moving to NZ to play rugby,now she's in our,Under 18 rugby team,young guy from Germany told mum and dad, moving to NZ same thing,school learnt the game he preferred instead of football now playing for the Auckland Blues,and we have youngsters from South Africa and Aus as well, coming through the Top team's in our Super Rugby team's,be heading for ABs next,its an awesome game,played by, awesome athlete's
The reason it was a game for everyone is in the 80s till 2000s you were playing barefoot till about 10 or 11 from memory. So all you needed to play was a pair of shorts
in south africa we play a thing called touch rugby so if you touch someone you must pass the ball and after 3 touches you must give the ball to the other team we do this for our church people who play so no one gets injured
South Africa ( Springboks ) are now 4 times world champs in 1995, 2007, 2019 and 2023. Which is most by any country.
Play the RWC final 10times and it’s a toss up who would win 6 out of the 10
The All Blacks are a phenomenal team and always have been. They are a joy to watch and it is no shame at all to be beaten by them.
They are much more willing to adapt their play to the match than other teams (especially England) and have a visible passion that many other players simply can't match.
@@portorportor8247 I think you're confused. "Phenomenal" doesn't mean unbeatable. And winning is not the only measure of a good team. That's a football mindset.
@@portorportor8247 You are still mistaken. Their win/loss record is NOT the measure of a good team. It's more about the way that they play, the teamwork, the sportsmanship. Focusing on the win/loss record is to miss the best parts of the sport. And the (barely) veiled xenophobia is also something that should be left in football fandom.
what you have to understand firstly is the expectation of the public for the ABs to win every time. Which is rather unachievable sadly. As a former player you don't get bored if the ABs win, its total disappointment
when they lose.
Thanx for looking, luv my rugby
"I was in the marching band" 🤣🤣🤣really enjoyed this reaction
About Haka and what other team could do, I don't think it would be accepted without conditions. But i like to argue that at least one country could have their own thing, because it has a lot of historical similarities with the haka. Scotland could play the bagpipe. Both haka and bagpipe choir are deeply linked to the history of each countries AND both have roots with war and battles, and encouraging your own or striking fear to the others. I would be amased to see Scotland players chant and a few play the bagpipe!
The all black team selection is announced on national radio. Just an indication of the culture over there.
The large Polynesian labour force hired to help build NZ post ww2 also really helped shape NZ rugby.
The string of losses was because our captain Richie McCaw retired in 2015 from Rugby. Richie is loved by the whole country and respected world wide as the gentleman of rugby union.
I am an All Blacks fan. Richie can’t win games by himself. He had brilliant players around him. He was a great player and Captain. This is a team with brilliant individuals. All Blacks had a lot of players after who retired like Richie. We haven’t yet got a 100% team , but we are rebuilding. Go the boys this weekend❤❤
8 mins, NOTHING STOPPING OTHER TEAMS. All of the Pacific Islands perform variations of the Haka, but there is an open invitation to reciprocation. This is an opportunity to highlight national culture and identity. To be fair, also the reason we will likely never see the English respond. Just picture, a line-up of impressive physical specimens of human perfection performing the Haka... and a bunch of over-grown pasty-faced POMs donning bells and starting a Morris dance. It just... maybe just me, but I just don't see it holding the same gravitas. Give it a go though lads, laughter being the best medicine, you could accidentally cure cancer!
Great reaction video. 💯👌🙏
nice keep up the rugby videos!
South Africa is also an amazing rugby nation
not as good as NZ that we just south africa against england its england
@@user-jv7bt5go2k we will see on Saturday
As a Kiwi. I can concur.
I would liken Sa and NZ as that top level above the rest. Sort of like Brazil and Argentina with football.
Sth Africa are the current world Champions for a reason, they're unbelievably good I'm kiwi through & through but SA are absolute class.
The All Blacks aren’t on the decline as it is more they just had a bit of hiccup last year but are now back. They they just got into another World Cup final and could very well come away with their 4th World Cup title.
Then we have Scott Robertson (Razor) taking over as coach next year who is literally a serial winner who won 7 Super Rugby titles out of 7 seasons with the Crusaders. Razors All Blacks are going to be absolutely insanely good.
It's our national sport and New Zealanders are proud players of it just like you Americans are with your American Football. Win or lose, the All Blacks are the most humble and respected Rugby Union team in the world. No other World Champion team has come close to earning that respect, no other team will.
They're not the perfect Rugby team because the perfect Rugby team doesn't exist, but when it comes to skill the AB's reign supreme, they're not the biggest nor are they the most athletic players in the world, but the class of Rugby they play is what excites their fans and threatens their opposition.
It's no wonder International clubs get all excited if by chance they're victorious over the All Blacks, they should be, the All Blacks aren't the easiest team to win against in the sport and with a rep so huge in the world, victory against the All Blacks is indeed a rare moment and all the more reason for a celebratory event, to finally release the joys, the anguish and frustrations, the relief of which have been smothering them.
I Never get bored watching the All Blacks dominate, I hope they dominate the Boks on Saturday, go the All Blacks!
Rugby starts at 5 in NZ, sometimes a couple of years earlier,on very rare occasions.
Those 4 yr old poly kids who look 14yrs old lol

8:45 feeling that CBHS pride💪
Our Treaty is what made us our own people on our own land's & The haka with it's custom's culture & traditions attached to the haka & warrior's when performing connect's to those before us & STRENGTHEN 'S us all when @ (war) Playing rugby,Last 4 year's was all about rebuilding a new team of ALL BLACK'S & COACHING STAFF
You missed the four quarter-finals of the World Cup, all of which were terrific games! There is a level between school rugby and Super Rugby, BTW - the national provincial championship. As to whether the ABs are the best in the world, we'll find that out in the next 48 hours... greetings from the deep south of New Zealand!
South Africa won the Rugby World Cup, playing the final against NZ and beating them by one point 🦌💚💛🏆💪🏻
This weekend is the 2023 world cup and if we win we will restore our number 1 spot and grab our 4th world cup 😎
Be sure to catch the RWC final this weekend between NZ and South Africa. No matter who wins, you won't be disappointed. Up the All Blacks!
You raise a good point about the ABs not winning every match not being a bad thing. I think it's inevitable anyway, with so many of NZ's rugby talent (players and coaches) choosing to ply their trades in other countries, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches up and even surpasses us - it's already been happening over the last several years. Hell, if the US decided tomorrow to put even half of the resources into US rugby that they do into the NFL, the US could theoretically win the next Rugby World Cup! An exaggeration, but you get it. Also, like others have suggested in the comments, do check out some footage of Jonah Lomu. RIP big man.
@@portorportor8247 2 of 3 Ireland tries in the quarter final? Scored by Kiwis 🤣🤣🤣and the 3rd was a penalty try, so not even an Irishman could score that 🤣🤣🤣 cry more lad
Yeah the big thing is, the New Zealand coaches are coaching alot of international teams......and they're getting better, so the skill gap has closed.
New Zealand will probably win at the weekend. I will be supporting them. I’m English and South Africa beat us 😢
Australia used to sing Waltzing Matilda after the Haka. This was banned by the International Rugby board but they allowed the Haka.
Hi JJLA...a couple of glaring omissions from the AB story. No hero can rise to greatness without its nemesis, which in this case is South Africa ;-) and the relative economic / educational might of NZ means that they get to attract the best young talent from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and all the other Polynesian islands in the Pacific.
NZL is a Polynesian country! Māoris are Polynesians. NZL has population of 5mill compared to SA with 60mill. SA def has advantage of more player selection lol
I love your channel and I have subscribe you are my favourite TH-camr at the moment just wanted you to know that I also play rugby 🏉
The All Black have a set of rules they live by. Rule 8, "Don't be a dick", meaning no one player is bigger than the game or the team.
Please react to the World Cup final. The All Blacks have made the final against all expectations and are playing our long time rivals South Africa. It’s going to be a doozy.
30 minutes before all hell breaks loose and the 2 giants face each other in probably the most anticipated World Cup final ever played, I don’t think 2 teams have ever wanted the win this bad! South Africa is in such a state right now that the Springboks NEED to win tonight for the sake of the country. Oh shit, my blood pressure is never going to make it through another 80 minutes
Black Ferns are now number 1. You should check them out, amazing women! Enjoyed watching. Cheers from NZ :)
Red Roses are No One
There's a great book called "legacy" that was written by a guy called james kerr in 2013 amazing book about the all blacks culture and is a good representation of why the all blacks are as good as they are it goes far beyond just being good at the game, there work ethic, there maori heritage, there mentality towards how they handle there losses, how they hold each other accountable inside and outside of the sport and the brotherhood they have in all aspects of there lives its a huge catalyst as to why they are the most winningest team of any sport in the world. I appreciate your reaction to our national sport.
Subscribed
the RWC changes everything - SA is now number 1 with abs number 2 and ireland down to 3 with france at 4 - the two greatest rugby teams are in the finals again with one winning their 4th cup
Also in 50s they ere called the Invincibles awesome
Yup fellow nz here 🌿
It is a mighty impressive record over the years for sure what Brazil is to footie is what the AB’s are to egg chasing but it must really grate them that that dominance in the big show belongs to Springboks and that gap is growing
I was at Twickenham for that game before the WC and they got run over big time by South Africa and I honestly thought the fear factor had gone and they were going to go the same way in rugby that Man Utd has gone in footie
Didn’t turn out that way they played great against Ireland in that epic qrtr final and in the final they almost caught the Boks even with 14 men
It was better than in 2019 when they were well beaten by England in the semi
But when it comes to the Show , the Boks are batting .500 and the ABs .300
No other rugby team more well known around the world than the All Blacks
For all the national interest and enthusiasm for rugby in Aotearoa/NZ, there simply aren't enough positions for every coach or player to fill. Those who are "good enough" but not for the All Black roles, will take contracts to play or coach overseas. This keeps them fit at international level and performances may get you noticed by the All Black scouts who monitor their performances for those countries. If you're luck enough, you could get a call up.
You were right, when we dominated the game for so long it became a foregone conclusion we'd win. If we were beaten, it meant the opposition "lifted" themselves and I always cheered for the underdog. Cheers.
And from New Zealand
Do u have the link to the video you were watching
no shit mate🤣
Letsss Gooooo AllBlacks
9:00 onwards. yeah, he kicked the ball. you can do a wee kick, then chase it, or a big one, but big ones are usually picked up one the backs, a wee chip 'n' chase is not a bad way, as you see here, to get some space, cannot tackle someone without the ball, so he cannot be touched, but the other team can also get the ball. if your team touches the ball behind your line, it's like a reset to the game. it's a risk, but when it pays off, as you saw, he scored the try.
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are the rugby kings , after tomorrow they'll have 9 out of 10 rugby world cups triumphs between them, with South Africa and New Zealand three apiece and Aussies two titles
it is not a game it's war #newzealandrugby 🏉
Just wanted to ask the folk in the comments section as someone from Taranaki, if the All Blacks win the world cup, does that make Taranaki the rugby province world champions ;)
The USA has a rugby team because I saw them when they came over and played England. They got trounced but you have to start somewhere. Italy started the same way and now have a side to compete with the best. So does Romania. They did not mention the world class teams of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
There was no war for our warrior culture to fight, so, Rugby!
Yes, exactly right 5:28
The All Black game highlights you watched,was the All Blacks and Argentina,the Pumas,The ABs lost to France in the Rugby World cup opener.
Black Ferns don't call them the female or women All Blacks. They earned their own identity.
yeah....as inferior rugby players.
New Zealand is in the World Cup final
There have been 10 Rugby world cup grand finals, NZ have appeared in 5 of them winning 3.
50% Grand Final Appearance percentage- unmatched at the world cup level of any sport
the flag thing is only recent...was full contact when I started playing in first year of school...really don't know why they got rid of full contact till 13...is actually bs as far as I'm concerned
It's at about age 8 that they start. I was 4 playing tackle rugby with 6 Yr olds. I don't know where the 13 came from. Such a bullshit video.
@@JaemanEdwards yeah that sounds more like it...was like naaaaa...that aint right surely, cheers
they start tackle at eight or if ur heavy enough 6 or 7
I’m in New Zealand
Please watch the rugby world cup final this weekend between the all blacks and the south African springboks, the 2 best teams in the history of rugby. I'm going for the all blacks.
Bro, fifth in the worlds not to bad, FACTS BROTHER
Like this guy 🤌🏽
Rugby’s gone crazy in Florida! Go watch a live match! Look up a bloke named Matthew Wells!
The international growth of rugby union can be credited to All Black rugby and the contribution they have given.
Rugby is the thing that unites all people in New Zealand. People will listen to theAll Black captain more than the Prime Minister.
Mate, check out how many International teams have had NZ coaches (many ex All Blacks) over the last 5-10 years. When NZ Lost to ENG in the RWC '19 semi-final, John Mitchell, ex All Blacks coach was advising ENG and was present in their coaches box during the Game.
NZ Pop. is unable to generate the money needed to retain top players and coaches in the Pro Era, hence the inevitable decline.The All Blacks are part of NZs international Identity, They must remain competitive, I believe Govt. financial assistance is required. $300-500 million Per Annum. Rebuild from grass roots, retain top players and coaches.
Now do South Africa seeing as we won the Rugby World Cup 2023
Ripper Rugby in NZ is fairly new it's was developed for the "modern era" it is no more the school of hard knocks.
I watched France beat England some years back.
I'm English, but I'd have to say they were better. That's rugby.
I live here
New sub here. Please Check out Jonah Lomu ULTIMATE TRIBUTE Lord of the Wings. This legend took Rugby to a whole new level. RIP #11❤
Welcome to Matt Rife in 20 years
In that NZ-FR match France won by a 15pt margin
Yeah the All Blacks have had some outstanding teams and players playing some of the best Rugby ever, cant ever discount the Kiews :)
Kiwis😊
lol but ok @@margaretreid2153
I don’t think it was strategy I think it was probably being so far away from away from the other countries who played it. They were just fresh to it.
New Zealanders also punch above their weight in sailing.
Jonah was a pure Freak
Yep - he kicked the ball deliberatly- the defender cannot tackle him unless he is holding the ball - so kick it - grab it again
NZ should win the world cup ABs by 15
