that blues team would win super rugby in todays era

Useless Joubert

Is there anything on the round 4 game of the 2004 season, Highlanders vs Sharks at Carisbrook?

Bum Squad went down...

Can you kindly post more Hurricanes matches from the 90s and 2000? Your videos are excellent

POS VIDIRI . DIRTY POS

Whos the English commentators for a NZ domestic game?

The Auckland Blues won the first 2 super rugby finals 1996-97 and narrowly lost the final against the Crusaders in 98. They won again in 2003 and apart from losing the final last year to the Crusaders there finals appearances have amounted to only 2 since 1998.. 2023 might be there year but there is something about Blues rugby that is so inconsistent despite having some of the best players in NZ since the tournament began.

Andrew hore Paul Tito

The broadcast used to be more focused on the player with the ball rather than all the wide shots you get now.

Loved the natal team if this era. So talented and great to watch. Rugby will never be this good again

Remember this game as if it were yesterday...those were the days

when rugby was simple & entertaining!

one head high tackle after the next from the Blues

Remember this game as if it were yesterday

Rugby was just so special during this Era.

Most amazing back line in history rockoko on the bench!!

I have Gary teichmans jersey from the super 12 framed and on the wall, back then they didn't have a new jersey every game

I was at this game in Whangarei

Mon dieu, quel massacre.

Lancaster Park/Jade Stadium/AMI stadium is now gone, Mexted is no longer commentating and NPC matches are lucky to attract half full stadia.

These guys are all younger than I am today.

The Golden years! Back when rugby was exciting and easy to understand, before the endless rule changes. For the first few seasons Super Rugby teams were a bit like "All-Star" teams. The season was short which gave players a chance to go back to play for their provinces (NPC), having international experience so the NPC got awesome too. Provincial rugby teams became a bit like Origin teams.......and then greed took over and NZ rugby started dying a slow death

Auckland blues all internationals 💯

Zup, Dawg?

Close match

Best backline we ever had

Junior tonu'u passes just classic Mann..never seen a halfback pass so hard and accurate.. Spenser didn't care about their width and depth cause he knew tonu'u's pass would reach him regardless..

I see Natal still played with the two black wildebeest as emblem. As a Blue Bull I like this old Natal emblem.

Henry honiball , the best defending fly off ever

back when the NPC still meant everything. What a great game.

Rugby at its best! I remember thinking at the time European rugby had no answer in those games.

24:50 30:25

The days when representing your province meant something...

The Reds must have been so busy worrying about Caucau they let everyone else score.

That Blues side had super stars starting and on the bench!!!

The good days r coming bak, c19, temporary halt we r coming, TRY N STOP US NW,

Jonah and Cullen on 🔥

bloody hell, was choking in that 2nd half

The greatest blues team ever

Too many Blues in the All Blacks and choked for over 20 years,bias,over-rated! Grant Fox,hall of famer,really? 10 years in the AB's,1 try and a spectator tackler! Nepotism,favouritism,bend-overtism more likely! Where are the real hall of famers? Christian Cullen should of been a hall of famer before Grant Fox,surely? Guess what? He is still to be inducted,amazingly wrong!Go figure?

I was at this game! Thanks Susan Dawson for the tickets!

ohalloran the goat

I was at that game with my Dad and my brother way back in 1996. It was an amazing atmosphere.
