2001 Rugby League Ashes 2nd Test - Great Britain v Australia

Played at Reebok Stadium, Bolton

[@96model96]

Lockyer, Johns and Fittler all in the same team is scary.

[@96model96]

Yeah, um, that's probably because they are retired now... What a stupid comment haha

[@96model96]

Are you fucking serious man? Lockyer, Johns and Fittler, 3 of the greatest players of all time all in their prime and you think the current kiwi team would beat them? Are you trolling or really that stupid? Don't let your big head get to you. I have respect for the kiwis but not the ones like you who after winning just three games in row think they have the best and greatest test team that's ever played. You're calling me an idiot? What's your problem? You started an argument and now your getting agro at me. You bloody keyboard warrior. Some of you kiwis are so up yourselves it's not funny. If you and follow NZers think the current kiwi side would beat the Kangaroos side of 2000/2001 then you kiwis are stupider than I thought. Idiot!

[@96model96]

okay 1. I know the kiwis are better at the moment 2. it's only because of their forward pack, probably the best forward pack since Petero, O'meley, Mason and Webcke 3. put Thurston, Smith and Cronk behind that kiwis forward pack and they'd win by 50 every game against any opposition. 4. Johnson and Foran are no where near Fitler and Johns on their day that's just silly (Im a QLDer but even I admit Johns is the best halfback of all time with and Thurston and Langer close) 5. In his prime Benji Marshall was a better player than Johnson 6. I have nothing against kiwis so stop thinking I do, it's good to see them winning at the moment. 7. When has a kiwi team ever beaten a 200 million population country? England has 53 million, Aus 23 million. 8. Population has nothing to do with it, just about every Maori who is half fit can play rugby of some sort 9. Rugby Union is the 5th most popular sport in Australia, literally no one cares about union over here, so don't bring it up. 10. Slater would have made a difference, kiwis still would have won, but slater is still the best fullback 11. Australia is the biased country ever? Have you read what most kiwis say? When you think Foran and johnson are as good as Johns and Fitler, than that is the definition of bias 12. We rate ourselves highly because we are good at pretty much every sport, even in Union we have won 2 world cups and are the 3rd best team in the world, we just won the asian cup in soccer (the third biggest international soccer tournament) We have won all but 3 Rugby League world cups and we dominate all forms of cricket and have for the past 30-40 years. NZ are good at Rugby, RL and Cricket. Both nations overachieve. I honestly don't see why you are so upset.

[@96model96]

Levi you fool calm down, I was pretty much agreeing with you on most things yet you are still geeing up at me. What happened that made you so angry? Your girlfriend break up with you? You lost your job? I don't know, but I don't know why you are so angry. I think you need to admit that Shane Webcke and Petero Civoniceva are two off the greatest front rowers of all time, I certainly don't think the kiwi forwards of now "shit on them". JWH, McKendry, Rapira and Matagi will shit on them? You call us aussies biased yet you say something completely fucking stupid like that. JWH got owned by Sam Thaiday, I doubt he would shit on two of the greatest forwards in history. Ask any other ugby League fan that is neutral or not biased if Foran and Johnson are better players than Johns or Fitler and they will say no way. Johns and Fitler, two of the greatest players of all time yet you think Johnson and Foran are better than them? They have the potential to be one day but Johnson is far too inconsistent and Foran has done nothing this year at Manly, it has been the DCE show all year. I would certainly want to know your reasons of why you think they are better... I think it's just because you are either biased, trolling or literally have no idea. Johns the best best halfback of all time and you think Johnson is better? That is laughable! What the hell is uce? I'm pretty sure that's not a word. I agree Klemmer and Woods are useless, they're from NSW would do you expect! I don't follow Union so as if I would know where the Wallabies are placed. And honestly I couldn't care less, no one cares about Union in Australia. Pretty sure Australia overachieve in sports, we have won pretty much everything there is to win in sport except a soccer world cup. Pretty good for a country of only 23 million. I have already said NZ overachieve you idiot, so im not going to admit since I have already said it... learn to fucking read comments before mouthing off at me! I know NZ is a nice country, just as good as Aus, best two countries in the world for mine. But of course you probably think "nah australias shit, australians are awful people, NZ is da best at everything !!!111" All Aussies have something against kiwis? That's fucking bullshit!! It's the other way around and you know it, kiwis are constantly saying shit about Aussies! You guys have a massive grudge towards us! You are so biased and angry, seriously calm down and take in the facts before making stuff up. We aren't making excuses at all, Im just saying that Slater would have a made a difference. Pretty sure RTS played the anzac test too.... Yes you guys were missing Taumalolo too along with Matulino, they certainly would have made a difference, now calm down, and talk a little more politely instead of saying stuff like "Admit it!" which just sounds silly.

1:14. Why on earth the crowd shouted forward is beyond me, and I'm GB!! 🙈

[@fatstorvolay2243]

Such a hopeless crowd considering what Great Britain did in the first test. No wonder the side played like this.

[@darylkanofski9327]

No 3rd ashes video ?

[@glensmillie5101]

That pass really really really was forward 😅

Unbelievable team

Embarrassing to say the least....

[@darrenknight443]

stevo, you say we, you are not playing, eh

[@glasgowbhoy1980]

best player I have ever seen in an Aussie shirt is Billy Slater - Joey and Locky are great players but Slater is pure skill!

[@AussieOnYouTube]

+glasgowbhoy1980 joey johns is the best ever

[@dalewilson5613]

John's and Lockyer are better than billy Slater. They are more well rounded and both captains goal kickers and play makers

[@dleigh9997]

More like billy is great but lockyer and John's are even better especially johns ( best player ever)

[@russellclay9506]

@@dleigh9997 Locky is better. Brilliant full back then even better in the 5/8. Johns is good in one position only and brilliant because he was off his face for most of his playing days!!!!
