What makes Japan’s win over SA more impressive is they got a penalty but went for the win rather than take a kick to draw!
100%. I remember watching this with my dad. When they had the chance to get the 3, my dad said they have to go for the win, because they will never get a chance like this again. We have never cheered like that for someone who was playing against us. It was spectacular.
@@daaichommie708you’re a bok and cheered that? You’re not a proper fan mate
It's fine to let places like Japan to win occasionally@@daaichommie708
As a South African, seeing Siya Kolisi lift that Webb Ellis trophy still gives me goosebumps
1995 - as most black South Africans, I went into the final supporting the All Blacks and came out a Springbok supporter. Humble Madiba power.
It's very sad things haven't continued to get better. He was a great man and not enough people have learnt from him
Well think you weren’t the only one to do that .. I change my tune about the event as I’m a kiwi after saw the espn documentary called the 16 man ..that when I realised that I’m glad South Africa won it
Love this.
We are also but we are happy when they win. Both the All Blacks and the Springboks/Boks/Springbucks are brilliant teams,@@pistolpetenaki
No the all blacks were a brilliant team ..until about 2019 @@stlouisix3
I was in South Africa in 1995. That was quite the party. I didn’t know you could get that many people in a sports bar.
I was 11 when Nelson Mandela handed Francois Pienaar the trophy. I still get tears of pride and happiness in my eyes.
The 1995 World Cup is definitely one of the greatest milestones in rugby history.
It brought an entire nation that suffered years under apartheid, etc. together and not care about feelings, grudges, etc.
The entire nation supported the Springboks. They won their first world cup with the entire nation behind them.
Further rugby, one of the greatest sporting moments in history, when you think about stuff that means more than the game & what sport contributed, as Mandela himself said it brings me together. It's up there with Xmas dayb1914 in Belgium & luz long helping, & unfortunately short lived friendship with Jesse Owen
Unfortunately I was 1yo, no memory
What Mandela did is called "bread and circus"... it's as old as the Roman Empire...but almost everyone fall for it.
"The greatest milestone in rugby history" is not the appropriate qualification.
It would rather be "The most hilarious joke in rugby history".
@@OliveOL_98 I don't know when or where you were born, but if you look up South Africa's history, the 50 years prior to the World Cup in South Africa, I think you'll understand better.
What makes South Africa’s 95 victory all the more impressive is how every other team had been dominated by New Zealand and Lomu, and nobody believed SA could beat them. South Africa showed that Lomu was human, and courage could take him down
Slipped him the Micky ☠️☠️☠️
Well said 👊 People also should remember Joost absolutely targeting Lomu & took him down 2/3 times, and also Japie Mulder’s trying saving tackle on him…
Yes the performance against the ALL Blacks was impressive but many forget the Boks' controversial semi-final against France. Having the federation and the referees on their side helped South Africa reach the final.
Joost Van Der Westhuizen was a warrior that day in '95.
@@andremaube5069I'll go rewatch that as I can't recall that being the case.
"Larkham has debeered De Beer" must be one of the most iconic commentary ever!
1995 was a great game but a million times bigger than sports
Mapimpi's try was SENSATIONAL but when Kolbe scored along with the commentary and then Kolisi lifting the trophy will ALWAYS be a goosebump moment for me.
Flip, watching Madiba hand over the cup to Piennar still brings tears.
Johnny Wilkinson's winning drop goal is unrivalled in my eyes
Stranskys was better
@@Lem469who?! 😂
What makes South Africa's 1995 victory so unique was because it was far more important than a mere sporting triumph.
It was the spiritual rebirth of a deeply divided nation out of the darkness of apartheid and helped bring in the new era of the rainbow nation.
By a considerable distance the greatest, and most iconic, moment in RWC history that helped propel the competition to where it is today.
Yep, South Africa couldn’t afford to lose that one. Hence the very very dodgy circumstances in the week of the final. Was obvious, even to us neutrals
ABs suffered food poisoning before the match.
@@ethancoster1324 yup… you can debate the cause of it, but there’s no doubt that it happened. And you can’t say that having a fit squad would not have made a difference in a match that went to double extra time and was decided by such a slim margin
@@ablewilling2778 It was for the greater good in the end. We shouldn't even have beaten the Frogs in Durban. But hey, scoreboard is where it counts.
@@daaichommie708everyone knows everyone also knows about the Rolex the welsh ref got for his efforts too the South Africa. Most rigged World Cup
Cheslin Kolbe smoked Owen Farrell in that 1 v 1. Beautiful try👌
I am a New Zealander, and had a huge bet on New Zealand to win at 4/1. At the end, I was pleased for South Africa as a nation, and thought Mandella was just wonderful. It is certainly the most memorable RWC moment.
Brilliant. More amazing memories coming in this tournament.
As an England fan, Jonny’s drop goal was number one for me, but the other two were as emotional as his
Sorry I gotta disagree SA’s win meant more then just the world cup and United a country that desperately needed it as someone who has seen it first hand this win helped set aside a ton of racial tension
As you said, any credibility stopped with 'as an England fan'
That loss to Japan must have be the loudest I have ever heard people celebrate in a stadium!!! WOW
South Äfricäns were celebrating for Japan too haha
Japan played very well that day. It is nice to see the underdogs deserve a win in rugby matches.
& is not even a guide stadium, like 20-25k seats
What's amazing about that England/Australian final in 2003 was that Australia had been playing useless right up until the World Cup in "lifted" during the knock out phase. So there is hope for this years team!
Your supposed to, no point peaking in game one, that's why you take it easy as you can just to get through, then you pick up with each game so when it matters you've conserved the energy. Also, I was a kid then, first wc I avidly saw, & when I look back on it now, seeing England with the jerseys that we play in now, vs the rest all still playing in schoolboy rugby jerseys, must've made some kind of a difference. How much odk, but money helps
As a kenyan I really cried sa❤
I dont' think there is another sport event that was SO momentous for a Country like the Springboks winnining the world cup at home and Mandela wearing the colors.
That 2007 French forward pass still hurts me Wayne Barnes😂🤦♂️
tbf the all blacks got away with a blatant yellow card offense that stopped a french try earlier in the game so it balances out.
That 2011 final still hurt French and worldwide rugby fans.... But weirdly, nz fans become deaf and mute on this subject.
I still remember flying into chch from aus just as the haka started, nz was silent for the last 20 mins of the game for sure
@@zisssssoueveryone is blind to bad ref calls if it benefits their team for the most part.
@@Aneurin_Hunt You're right and wrong. it's a question of honesty my friend. Nz fans are simply unable to recognize 2011 controversial final.
In France, you won't find one rugby fan saying you "it was not a forward pass".
Furthermore, there is a slight difference between Barnes mistake who misjudged a ball direction... and Joubert masterpiece who "forgot" a dozen of All Blacks infractions.
The comment above perfectly sums up the problem. A big lack of honesty
I love that Jonah Lomu, great player that he was, never scored against the Boks. We totally worked him out.
i mean, he was big, that was his strong point. unfortunately, south africans are too...
Jonah Lomu was something else. A winger weighing 120kgs and with speed and power of a 100m sprinter 🔥🔥🔥
I wish Francois Pienaar were coaching the Springboks/Boks/Springbucks now. He would be a blimming brill coach!!!
Dés l'instant où on met la plus belle blague de l'Histoire du sport, à savoir la Coupe du Monde 1995, en miniature de la vidéo, on ne peut juste pas la prendre au sérieux.
Encore pire si quelqu'un de sérieux pose ce "moment" en première place. Une blague absolue.
As a Scotsman, Lomu using Mike Catt as a doormat still makes me laugh.
I spent New years in Pienaar's house lol
great teammates
For me two other moments also stand out: 1) Where Samoa and South-Africa kneeled together and prayed after swapping jerseys. 2) Jannie de Beer's 5 drop goals
That was never a try for Samo against Wales for #9. The Welsh player touched it down.
After that guy got ran over by Lomu, it's like all his teammates went "oh no.. we're done."
I just want to weep seeing the late, great Joost v.d. Westhuizen in the No. 1 Moment back in '95.
Undoubtedly, Mandela given the title to Piennar, Japan stunned Springboks in 2015 and Lomu destroyed British isles are my favorites from RWC. Hope for new surprises in future.
That first Samoan try against wales was definitely not a try 😂
Nice Play
I actually forgot that the Japanese president Abe, who handed Siya the trophy was the same one assisnated last year. Very sad. He will forever be seen in South Africa when they show that clip.
LOVE
Even with 3 RWC wins, this viewing brings more pain than ecstasy in most cases for NZ fans.
Just proves how much power and legacy is behind the team. There have been 9 world cups and a top 10 clip like this featured the AB's 4 times and only once as the winners and more than once not in the final.
3:05 forward pass. never forget we were robbed
1991 Wales too fired their coach a few months out from the World Cup.
No BRONZE PUMAS on 2007 world cup? what a shame. It seems Argentina barely exists for world rugby.
France is one of only 3 teams that have beaten the all blacks more than 10 times. How is it an upset defeating them in a world cup in france?
Well fisrt, it was in Wales in 2007. Second of all, at that time nobody expected France to win that game, and it's the only time the All Blacks didn't reach the semi finals.
@@OliveOL_98 What? 2007 Rugby world cup was held in France.
@@nicolasalfonsoflorio9294 Yeah but some games were played outside of France, including this quarter final, that was played in Cardiff.
@@OliveOL_98 I know, but still, it was France's World cup. I Think Argentina winning the opening match, and winning the third place is way more of an important moment. It literally changed the history of our rugby: Rugby championship and super rugby inclusion, the funds to initiate the first professional program for development, an explosion in kids playing rugby.
@@nicolasalfonsoflorio9294 I can agree on the group stage game (and even then, I still believe the QF is above that, but that's just an opinion), but that's what it was, a group stage game. In that regard you could but Argentina vs Ireland in 1999 which was a knockout game.
On the other hand I don't agree with the 3rd place match. To me it just didn't matter.
France beating New Zealand - always beautiful, allez les bleus! Cette fois on la ramène à la maison
How did Tonga defeating France in 2011 RWC not make this list??? 🤔
3:05 forward pass. 3:10 forward pass
Tuvieron 50 momentos para elegir y de Argentina solo pusieron la victoria a Francia en el partido inaugural del 2007 y la victoria a Irlanda en el play off del 1999. Y el try de Amorosino en el 2011 para ganarle a Escocia sobre la hora y pasar de ronda en el grupo de la muerte? Y el partido por el bronce del 2007? Y los 3 drops de Hernández contra Irlanda en ese mismo mundial? No digo que pongan todo, pero claramente se vio un favoritismo por las naciones "hegemónicas" incluso en momentos que no tuvieron tanta relevancia.
Who is the commentator that said "South Africa..the world cups is theirs!"?
Have to put two NZ World Cup victories together for one moment while three of the other moments are beating NZ lol
Ritchie McCaw and Dan Carter still the best
In my opinion the biggest one was Wilkinson drop the goal because a it won the world cup b it was the first and only time a northern hemisphere side won it.Also the first match at the 1987 world cup
Fair enough if you feel that way, but I can't imagine a lot of people viewing the unification of a nation on the brink of civil war only years earlier as second fiddle to a bloke doing a kick.
i dont think bernat-salle got the ball down over the line
Arg Vs France opening RWC2007
Larkham was some player
I still remember playing 10 as a youngster and always being in awe of his distribution skills. World class player.
Aussies had some seriously good players. People forget that rugby union isnt even in the top ten sports of Australia. They have always punched above their weight.
Players back in late 90s and early 00s were more skillful. They are better athlestes nowadays but in terms of skillset, the likes of Larkham, Cullen, Spencer and them were mad.
to me he was VERY underrated .he had an amazing ability to read a game and make a way where there was no way. very few people can do that. 1 among them Waisale Serevi
Los pumas dominated france in 2007?
Argentina *existe
World Rugby 🙈
Yeah, Argentina's 2 wins over France in 2007 definitely deserved a spot up there ^^
Then I guess we need more than a "top 10" for 9 world cups XD
Jonah Lomu is the best player that never won the world cup
The Japan one is amazing when you see all the English stewards going crazy.
Up The Wah's...☝️☝️🤪
How can you have wins that literally didn’t affect a World Cup, over World Cup victories?
Argentina upset against France at the Stade de France with 80.000 French isn't top 10?
You’re telling me that the Springboks losing to Australia in a semi final, and losing to Japan, which had no affect on that World Cup, South Africa still topped their group, are bigger moments than the Springboks winning in 2019 and 2007. Absolute joke. And the same for NZ losing games.
What would be your top ten?
Japan's win against the boks is one of the greatest rugby moments of all time! South africa should never have even come close to losing that game
Nothing tops 1995 SA winning it controversially in the semis vs France and poisoning NZ in the final.
Nothing get shocker that’s that .
@@johanrijhkelaar3627 Prove it
Come on! For the First Black Captain to win & Lift the WC should be at least No.2
Take your divisive and mindless identity politics and shove it. You do a great dishonour to arguably the best captain the Springboks have ever had.
Stupid comment. As someone who knows someone close to Siya, I can promise you he would just shake his head at your comment.
I don’t think this comment is offensive at all, if we’re being honest SARU had to be pushed to transform. I remember Fikile Mbalula specifically introducing quotas and banning National teams from playing without those quotas. Also for a long time black players were derogatory called “quota players”, so in the same energy it has to be acknowledged when a “quota” team wins the World Cup.
I agree. Just so we covering everyone maybe guys missing fingers lifting the cup? I think Am would be tops. I think it was covered nicely in South Africa gets WC glory.
@@thatosebotsane8017 that's my point. You demean these players by saying that they have to be chosen based on skin color. None of those players in the 2019 RWC were there based on skin colour. But by forcing quotas, you open them up to that accusation. Ask any self respecting sportman if he would like to be chosen on ability or skin colour and listen to what he has to say.
今回大会の日本はさすがにヤバイかも。
直前のテストマッチの結果が散々すぎる。
イタリア相手にダブルスコアとはね。
ワールドカップ本番で急に強くなるとは思えない。
フィジーやサモアが、スーパーラグビーで激しいトレーニングをしていた間、日本はぬるま湯の国内リーグに時間を費やしてしまったせいだろう。
今回大会は一度恥をかいて、2027年大会に奮起するのが一番良いと、日本人として思う。
俺は諦めてフランス応援する
