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

      @@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.

    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.

    • @TheFunkhouser
      @TheFunkhouser 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +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 ;)

    • @tysonuk
      @tysonuk 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

    • @TheFunkhouser
      @TheFunkhouser 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

    • @gwilliams4674
      @gwilliams4674 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +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.

    • @bostyn8641

      +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.

    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 🙂

    @mwitisale 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @187prettyboy
    @187prettyboy 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @onjadar
    @onjadar 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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..

    Jonah already said himself that Caucau is the best winger in the world, I know he was being humble and all but look at it like this, Jonah Lomu was peaking right at the start of the professional era when guys werent as big or well conditioned as today, Jonah wouldnt be able to run through half the french/english team today. Roko and Caucau are wingers in the classical sense of what a winger is, fast and agile.
