Who is your favourite rugby CULT HERO?

[@nepiahemopo1702]

Frank Bunce.

[@unclejezza]

What a great guy to have on as a guest. The mighty Bull Allen!!

[@JC-xs3fx]

Every time he got the ball the crowd would scream BUUUUUUUULLLLLLL!!!!! What a legend

[@Knowyourintent]

Fond memories of Bull Allen and Stormin' Norman's bullocking runs on Athletic Park. Great interview. Great man, very articulate, personable with lots of integrity and humility.

[@DMJ292]

The big bull 🐂 awesome 👍 remember his rugby days always excited to see him run with the ball in hand Plus. I meet him in Tauranga years ago, genuine guy. Top man 💯🇳🇿💪😎👍🐂

[@Silvius.2]

Another great player at interview from Taranaki... was visiting Eltham - Stratford in 92 and 95 enjoyed friendly peoples .. NZ in heart vorever. ..

[@paulgill5078]

Mark is the guy I looked up to when I played rugby at Stockport where he visited with the all blacks before the England game in 1997 him and Olo with Sean front row you can't beat

[@AllBlacks]

What a front row!

[@dominicbritt]

Played pool with Mark in the 1990s in a bar in Auckland - really nice bloke 👍 At first we thought he was going to kick us off our table, but asked to join in...

[@bobmoore7481]

Wow. Is that THE Bull Allan. I thought he was older than this. He was one of the first cult heroes with his no-compromise style.

[@DMJ292]

Legend. Bull Allen 💪🇳🇿💯

[@TheMarathonomahos]

What was interesting was the year after Loe came back, he was one of only three players named by all 11 rugby writers in the worlds best 15 in the annual World Rugby magazine selection. That's how good he was. And that's who Bull had to compete with. But Bull was a very good prop who ended up in a great era of props.

[@gtestastretta1]

I was thinking about Ken Mahare the other day, tough as teak.

[@fu8713]

Wow there’s a pretty face from the past 😂 legend looking very sharp Bully 👍👍

[@seamus9750]

He's shrunk 😮

[@zSkNNYBNz]

Buuuuulllllllll

[@poerava]

Please fire whoever set up this interview. Hard light was nice. Sitting that far across from each other was terrible.

[@unclejezza]

They probably did the best they could w the space available. I’m a commercial filmmaker and have prob shot over 5000 interviews. Most of the time, you are chained by the room you are given. Be kind ❤

[@poerava]

@@unclejezza I’ve done post edit for hundreds of interviews. To have someone sitting that far apart is farcical. It’s a joke. Like the way the NZRU. don’t provide a boom mic operator to a World Cup for media chats (a few hundred to hire someone) It’s very unkind to us, the fans and the all blacks themselves. It’s horrible. It’s so unkind of the NZRU to give such zero forks with their media. The all blacks are the best team in the world. They deserve better media management than this. And less board members on $250,900 with millions spent on five star hotels and catered meetings (taking up rooms with better lighting and more appropriate interview conditions. A different spin on ‘be kind’ perhaps. .

[@unclejezza]

@@poerava you seem very clever and experienced. Let’s have a look at YOUR work. Post a link here to what, you yourself, have actually shot. Let’s see how you take to some criticism of your work from someone infinitely more experienced than yourself. They call this ‘putting your money where your mouth is’. Your move chief.

[@poerava]

Kinda strange. But ok. I don’t post edit videos for KZbin or clicks and views bud. Yet even with the videos have shot or edited for learning institutions that will be viewed by a dozen max, I take more care with post. I have edited videos for the university of Wellington and the university of Melbourne post grad psych. presentations/interviews for PhD applications or after first year confirmation of candidacy in PhD program required to complete PhD. I’ve also shot and edited interviews with third and fourth year psych students giving feedback for the tutors which I was a part of. Sorry they’re not interviews with one million views, yet I’m surprised you’re wanting a CV, after watching a video where you have to make such a wide cut. You wouldn’t have cut them together in post edit so they weren’t so tiny and no facial expressions are visible. It’s like watching tennis with squinting eyes. Don’t you think? Moving those mics down so they weren’t blocking their faces when there was the wide shot must have been a bit too hard for them? What do you reckon? Hang on a minute. Did you shoot it?

[@unclejezza]

@@poerava wheres the link to your work? Everything else is just talk young man
