      Lomu was close to unstoppable when he got going (being 18+ st and 6'5" might've had something to do with it), but Robinson's acceleration and step were in a different league (pun intended). One of my favorite parts of this video is the French commentators wetting themselves over Robinson's sidestep score against their team.

    Biggest difference for me is that this team had forwards of superhuman toughness. The southern hemisphere teams like nothing more than roughing up England with tactics that frequently fall outside the law. A lot of the time it works. With these boys it never worked, it was simply impossible to intimidate them. Thompson, Vickery, Back, Johnson, Dallaglio, Tindall, Worsley etc. Men made of granite.

    • @sebp3249

    • @peaceharmony4115
      @peaceharmony4115 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Indeed. This pack of forwards was absolutely sensational. In a tough man's game, they were the best of the time. And it wasn't as though the other major teams had lousy packs, either. They were the top of a crowded field.
      And then, you had a fantastic set of backs who could all tackle, run and pass, with the best fly-half in the game. In retrospect, their victory in 2003 WC was all but assured: They really were the best team of that era.

    • @paulwalker2785
      @paulwalker2785 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I trained with Dallaglio and he was a monster. Tackling him was like hitting a wall. But what you don't see is how quick he is for someone 6'5. He won the world 7s championships and that's quick!

      Thing is, it could easily be half an hour long. We were that good in those days, won that many games and scored that many outstanding tries. Greenwood, Balshaw, Luger, Cohen, Wilkinson, Robinson, Dawson, Lewsey - deadliest set of backs we've ever had.

  • @stroketheboat
    @stroketheboat 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The best team England have ever produced - I think they'd beat most teams playing today.They were so confident on the ball: heads and eyes up, passing out of the tackle, no-look passes, running everything, never scared, always looking for a way to win, always looking to keep the ball moving. I feel lucky to have been able to watch England play in this era and hope we can come close again some time soon!

    I was in the pub reading the independent or guardian and when i read what Clive Woodward was doing with them, a good time before the world cup started, I stopped everyone from talking and said 'mark this moment, I am telling you now they will win the world cup'. I love the comments here but it's all about the players, and yes that's true, but what Clive did with them, taking them away from everybody, doing different things with them (basketball, army iirc) created the bonds that were unbreakable. Amazing video.

    Thank you so much for this video. I have been watching alot of these 'golden era' matches recently.
    I used to have friends (mainly from Wales ;) ) who never understood the fuss about Jonny. Regardless of his kicking and his ferocious tackling - the solo try vs NZ in 2002 at Twickers says it all.
    I really hope that England Rugby nurture Henry Slade or Elliot Daly into the sort of player Will Greenwood was. We have never found a replacement since he retired and I fear we won't win another World Cup until we do. Excellent vid.

    Great video mate well done, I remember watching the final of the 2003 RWC i had a Saturday morning detention at school i ran home for the last 20 minutes I remember my dad crying when JW got the drop goal. Sensational stuff hopefully we can see a re-kindling of those times under new manager Eddie Jones, from what I've read he wants to return that huge destructive English set piece that we've be lacking for many years. Sounds like a bloody good idea to me.

    What an unbelievable squad we had: back up players such as Moody, Bracken, Leonard, Catt, Corry, Worsley and Healey - all quality in their own right. In the starting 15 we had so many leaders out there, something which is sadly lacking today - the likes of Tindall now receiving the captaincy by default as he has been around for a while. It's actually sad to watch this and realise how far we slipped immediately after the 2003 RWC and 8 years on we show no signs of ever reaching that level again.

    awesome video, makes you realise what a truly great team that was, cohen, robbo and lewsey as the back 3, how we could do with those three in the current team.

      +Rob W Every kid starting out in the game should watch an All Black video.This England team bored the rest of the world senseless.

      they weren't unbeatable....just ask the irish and french.....if you're looking for unbeatable have a peek at the all black side of 2013.

      macgriff66 What is it with you NZers? You've got to be the most precious wankers on the planet (God forbid anyone but NZ celebrate their rugby). Not even the Australians are as bad. Why come and troll on a video celebrating what was and is globally recognized as a great team? They didn't play boring rugby at all. You don't get to and win a WC by playing boring rugby. This is a team that was in development since 1998, had come through a miserable World Cup in 1999 and then beat a very good Australian side in the final of 2003. For English kids, to which rugby is by far and away not a cultural icon as it is in NZ, they are definitely something to aspire to. Now piss off you Anglophobic CUNT (you're definitely not a sports fan).

      England played 10 man rugby and 10 man rugby is boring......simple as that......if english kids want to be the best then they should aspire to play like the All Blacks because they are the best.....we understand why you english rugby fans dont like NZers......it's because we're better.....and have been for over 100 years.

    I love this vid. Memories of 2000-2003. England are behind the ABs but accelerating. It's a young England side but they will have to go some to challenge for the WC next year. Home advantage might help. I certainly hope so.

    England got a standing ovation in this six nations for just playing like wales-point made...
    The reason the Welsh bragged was that we're the only team to ever get 3 grandslams within 8 seasons-and no-one expected it ;)
    having said that-these were golden years for England; who were phenomenal! hopefully they'll have a good next few years :)

  • @zedokta3808

    Everything about England's Golden Era is outstanding. If they ever retrieve this standard of play then England will be the best rugby nation in the world. When they beat the All Black's, everyone was singing our anthem and 'Swing low, sweet chariot'. The atmosphere was unbelievable! I cannot wait to go to Twickenham and watch England play rugby at its finest. England were the best nation for rugby during this time, I as well as most hope we relive this era. Swing low, sweet chariot!
