@admiralbenbow5083 they had a record run nobody could touch them then. Other great teams could be beat and they couldn't in the era turn of the century pure dominance.
@@ZEP0034 Thats a bit better. NZ and SA and for a good period Australia had ruled the roost for scores of years. It is farcical to even suggest that in terms of time that England have ever come close to domination for even close to that. You show a complete ignorance of the history of the game. They were a very good team, but for a very short time.
@admiralbenbow5083 I think you misconstrued what I said. England were the best in the world at the beginning of the 21st century and. Rugby is of course progressive the same as football and any sport. I meant the beginning of the best team in the word as they won the world cup.
Good England team against a team that was in the Doldrums at this time sadly after losing three teams 1st , 2nd and most of there 3rd in an exodus to rugby league .
As accurate as this comment: Dick Dastardly 1 year ago Yes off side but on the day the Ref had a nightmare for both teams. If the ball is thrown forward and it hits an opposing player then that is a knock on. The ref ignored that one.
My family was still Alive back then happy days indeed
I remember the lions tour of 97 I went best rugby tour of my life happy days indeed
England were a helluva good team at that time, in spite of Greening. And they got much much better.
Dallaglio - one-man rolling maul!
Epic
This was 2000, its now 2020.
How the f*ck has Stuart Barnes been a commentator for 20 years?
Same reason Starmer Smith was for 35 years
From 1998 to 2006 Wales would get hammered at Twickenham, all that changed changed when Warren Gatland came along
Is it possible to have full match?
I don’t have it I’m afraid
The start of the best and most impressive country in rugby's history.
The what ??

Most of the league players were back playing union at this stage

Sure, 1999 was shortly after this. And it was with all Welsh players too 🤔
@@Number9s The ref also ignored english 9 kicking the ball while still in the scrum. After Wales had taken the lead.
@@Number9s Nope. If a pass is forward its a forward pass, if it connects with an opponent. while being thrown forward. ITS A FORWARD PASS!!!!!
Man this Welsh team wasn't even very Welsh and it was still shit.
