I went to this game, and the turnout was amazing. This stadium doesn't hold much but it sold out over 33000 seats. There is so much love for this sport here and seeing a haka in person was amazing! I hope they come back here to play other tests in the future!
@@InFAMOUSPS4_19 Oh, thank you!. It's always amazing to see Rugby in the flesh, and to see first-hand, the Haka and Cibi, is so powerful. San Diego has been wonderfully supportive and a fantastic host....I'm sure the AB's, Fiji and other World Class teams will continue to come back. Bless you all, San Diego and thank you ❤
As a kiwi I just want to congratulate Fiji on how hard they dug in! You gave us an absolute banger of a game! And despite the scoreboard boys just know you did your nation of Fiji proud! Take comfort in the fact you all played magnificently! I look forward to watching you guys progress as time goes by!
Can't be serious, that was such a disappointing performance by the men in white, after such a great world cup campaign, it's like no one in the team knew how to tackle. Fiji is trying to play with T1 nations, this is a set back to that plan. But it is a good learning experience for the squad and only upwards from here.
@@brucefont3465considering how small Fiji is compared to New Zealand and most of their competition, they’re pretty much punching above their weight class and representing the rest of Polynesia considering Samoa or Tonga are both even less populated than Fiji. Population typically means amount of chance producing talent
@@teamtoken did I say all 35,000? No I said mostly made up of....and from a lot of the crowd shots I saw it was large groups of Fijian, yaapies and kiwis....and yes out of a population of 40 million people in california I can believe there would be at least half a crowd of expats at a rugby game
Well done All Blacks 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Fiji keep your heads up…this is what you need; more games with the big teams will build the team well into the future 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
you cannot be saying this for the last 8 years. How many times have fiji played against big teams in super rugby?? no excuse for mediocrity. Fiji were simply mediocre. All their stars play in france and they cannot even make simple tackles
@@endlessenergy6378super rugby and international levels are different beasts.. they still dont get enough big games each year.. they mostly play tier 2 sides which is why its hard for them to develop
Can we all agree that the Reiko at centre experiment has run its course? Billy Proctor showed his class here tonight - alongside several phenomenal Super seasons w the Canes. It’s time we put a true centre AT centre. That isn’t to say Reiko doesn’t still have a huge role to play within this team, but I feel he has been playing out of position for too long. Call me a tradionalist, but a Centre should be abbrasive, confrontational and challenging the gain line relentlessly. Like the Ma'a Nonu's and Bundee Akee's of the world. Reiko is a great distributor and often catches mid-field defenders off-guard with his turn of pace. Those opportunites arent frequent at test level, rendering him pretty ineffectual a lot of the time. He also gets bullied up-front by often much larger and more physical opposites.
Honestly as someone who started watching the ABs again after many years, the experimental lineups don’t make any sense. Especially against an opponent like England, games like this should’ve been the chance for others to show and Proctor definitely looks solid. Should be playing the best available at their positions. I was smh when they benched Barrett vs England considering he’s one of the best players and he was benched because of super rugby performances which is irrelevant at test level. Immediately he comes on both games and the team looks way better. If this is how the team been going I can see why we blew 2019 and 2023 world cups.
Proctor was great , but Fiji defensively were nothing like England , not saying proctor shouldn’t be given an opportunity but perspective is required judging the ease in which the backline was permitted to operate today compared to the English defence up in their face .Chalk and cheese .
@@Trajan2401 yeah I know but weren’t at full strength,my point is the defensive pressure applied today was on a completely different level to englands , no comparison, the coaches will be well aware of it
A special thank you to Joseph Jason Namakeha Momoa. For inviting The Mighty All Blacks to San Diego to play with The Flying Fijians❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great starts for the new caps at a packed American stadium. Lovely to see Billy and Dinger go over. Latimer played with confidence, speed, awareness and incisiveness. He nailed his try.
@@michaelmoynihan9591I have to agree with you. This is EMBARRASSING. Why do they even allow the All Blacks to play against a 2nd tier nation like Fiji?
@@BISH9484 you’re not seeing the bigger picture. It’s for marketing and to build the game in USA. You could say the same thing about the other games, why are springboks playing Portugal or Argentina v Uruguay or Scotland v Chile.
Very professional performance by the All Blacks but they're having a lot of issues with those high cross field kicks they definitely need improvement in that area. Billy Proctor and Anton Lienert-Brown were both sublime in the midfield either one of them should come in to the team ahead of Rieko Ioane, Rieko would be better back out on the wing
When you have the two worst defenders in All Blacks history on your wings, it fills me with absolute dread. They both are one trick ponies who have zero kicking game on top of their already well known defensive frailties.
Fiji and Japan need to be part of the championship....and a second division which includes Samoa,Tonga, Uruguay, Namibia, and Zimbabwe maybe USA along with Canada... this can be played in one country tournament style..
Fiji needs a forwards coach to revolutionise things. They have no shortage of big, strong and skilled ball players, but the ABs stifled key possession and momentum with their work in the line outs and scrums. I think we had quite a few unforced knock-ons this game, but since we're dominating Fiji in the scrums - we get to regain possession and go at it again.
What a waste for Fiji rugby taking player's that are just an inch from retiring . Coach needs to look at the bigger picture and the next world cup . The team that played against World Barbarian is the future of Fiji rugby and it would really boost and carved them if they were given the chance to play against the NZ all blacks .
@@mikeonthetube79Absolutely agree. Only a few rugby players have successfully transitioned to NFL. Games are fundamentally different. Rugby is more endurance whereas American football is played in short sharp bursts of a few seconds. As a Kiwi, I love rugby but can see the skill set differences that football provides
@@hellovanite Oh your talking about just rugby? duh! NFL guys don't even know the rules yet alone the skills. thank you for your judgement and captain obvious comment.

Hey D Mac, when your back in NZ can you call in to the NZ Warriors HQ and give them boys some goal kicking lessons? 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼pay special attention to CHT. Chur 😎👌🏽
Not really sure why you'd choose to start Isaiah Ravula at flyhalf, who has no test rugby experience. Would make a lot more sense to start Vilimoni Botitu or Caleb Muntz at flyhalf, but it is what it is I guess...
@@JaemanEdwards if you watched the England game you'd see how starting Caleb Muntz set the tone of the game, essentially helping Fiji win the game, flyhalves have the biggest impact on any game being played...
Fijian player's look strong n are very powerful speedsters. they should have a word with defense coach didn't do his job and also solve those clumsy hands that's a serious let down
Attack and turnovers were great from Fiji but that defense was the cause of downfall and was unacceptable. Italy had better defense and they got thrashed 95 nil.
What do you expect.Every time he has the ball 2 All Blacs are in his face executing perfect tackles neutralize Semi completely...The third comes in to scavenge for the ball or to neutralize the support player.... Well done AB' s Another learning curve for ,🇫🇯@@kingq4113
If all blacks added fijis offloading support play skills to their arsenal that would be 🔥i still think the way to beat rush defence comes down to how fast 9 or whomever can recycle that ball and get it out quick enough. I hope robertson tells them to offload and support more.
The debutants stood out, Fiji were really exposed on defense and the breakdown otherwise the scoreboard would've been a little more respectable but at least it's not another 60-pointer.
Congrats Nzl.Was the ref Dickinson?.I believe so.In Ireland’s second test he was told in his ear that C Blade was onside and had not knocked on the ball.It was Sasha Freiburg who touched the ball.He penalised Ireland and gave SA a penalty from which Pollard scored.Despite her hearing from the TMO the Irish player was onside.The ref did not over turn it.Any thoughts on why tries can be overturned and not penalty decisions?
The mentality to play well against the all blacks needs to be beyond normal. Fiji played club rugby. They were just not Test level material. It was as they were afraid to play...no heart. Got schooled.
Given Fiji's form last year in the RWC, it should have at least been competitive, but looks like they've regressed here. Could be a range of factors at play though. As a Fijian I just hope we're not going backwards from the progress we've made in the last few years.
Whoever hiried that American lady who sang the New Zealand anthem? I had to turn down the volume. But what I like was after the anthems when Fiji did their Cibi, and the Mighty All Blacks did their haka as well. Ardie Savea was soo badass leading the Haka! 😎
I thought the All-Blacks Gave a good account of themselves, We all played well, the Stand out players played really well, the Newcomers were well up with the play, and the young guy (number 21) was really outstanding, with his running , Passing, & tackling. I think he will be the Future number 9. ------- Fiji were very good, another 40 mins & they would have got a couple more tries. Well done to the American Crowd who did a Mexican Wave
The score was nice - but the match was so entertaining in the spirit it was played - “hard and fast” always love the speed skills and spirit the Fijian bois bring to every match they play yeah da boys and well done to all the AB debutants - still like Ratima didn't put a foot wrong and I think DMac plays better with him at the base of thecrums and rucks yeahhhhhh boooiii
Fijis number 12 n 10 should learn the basic on how to tackle.their missed tackle cost us some tries n make others tired afraid to tackle dont play for theirs other players who are willing to put their body on the line
Well said.....10 was a passenger on the bus.... Playing touch rugby with his tackles..... Should be a model on the runway...No models on the rugby fields please Coach!?!,🤢👺😡🤬😖🤢🥶👹👿
Alot of people are forgetting Fiji is good but not as top level teams like Ireland and SA are. So of course the debutants and other players would play well in this game.They have been training and waiting for their chance to shine. We all just hope that this type of performance can be shown even against the top level teams. All Black everything!🖤💪. Well done Flying Fijians!Keep it up!👍
If only Radradra was 12 and a prop to replace Tawake in the prop. Tawake isn’t very strong in his defense. Good game Fiji and still happy for your performance despite only having one warm up before this tournament
If you’re trying to promote the game in the US, wouldn’t you put two teams that are more evenly matched. Just saying like, Fiji v Samoa then NZ v France
Why are Fijians build for Rugby but can’t win in major tests . They are darlings of the shortened code but struggle with the full version . Everyone’s favourite second team .
That is actually a genuine question, and I've also asked myself why is that. I guess it comes down to the fact that 7s gives the opportunity for one-on-one situations because of the fewer players, which doesn't happen as often in Union. Fijians will win more than half those battles because of their size, speed and power. Another difference is, 7s has fewer technicalities and is a lot more simplified compared to 15s. In 15s, there are greater intricacies and nuances in set-plays, which also makes it difficult to get those one-on-one scenarios like in 7s. There is a lot more emphasis on structural plays, positional plays, competing for possession and tactical decision-making, making the game a bit more intricate and multifaceted.
Who were your standout players in San Diego?
Ratima ,Clark,Proctor, ALB, D Mac,
Clarke
ALB and Proctor
@@AllBlacks Clarke, DMAC, ALB.

That would make the highlights cost lots of 💰
Again All blacks showing they still top tier any team
To soon to tell..
@@PMGflavournot really, some losses from the top teams. Remember all blacks were 1 point away from winning the world cup, and that team was terrible.
new zealand should create a NFL team and destroy USA, would be an insane crossover
NFL is great, but the Americans must’ve been so confused by this spectacle.
If only Radradra was 12 and a prop to replace Tawake in the prop. Tawake isn’t very strong in his defense. Good game Fiji and still happy for your performance despite only having one warm up before this tournament
My all blacks good performance
If you’re trying to promote the game in the US, wouldn’t you put two teams that are more evenly matched. Just saying like, Fiji v Samoa then NZ v France
Good game lads
Why are Fijians build for Rugby but can’t win in major tests . They are darlings of the shortened code but struggle with the full version . Everyone’s favourite second team .
That is actually a genuine question, and I've also asked myself why is that. I guess it comes down to the fact that 7s gives the opportunity for one-on-one situations because of the fewer players, which doesn't happen as often in Union. Fijians will win more than half those battles because of their size, speed and power.
Another difference is, 7s has fewer technicalities and is a lot more simplified compared to 15s.
In 15s, there are greater intricacies and nuances in set-plays, which also makes it difficult to get those one-on-one scenarios like in 7s.
There is a lot more emphasis on structural plays, positional plays, competing for possession and tactical decision-making, making the game a bit more intricate and multifaceted.
Clark so dangerous
I only wish we got to hear it with American commentators. That would’ve been the full experience. 🤣🤣
