The Cullen-Umaga connection was so good to watch.

That Hurricanes backline was absolutely stacked. Some of the very best players in history

[@RugbyGuide]

Had to laugh just after 40mins. Holwell takes a mark and kicks on. Me: "He didn't make a bent arm gesture?!" 😂

Horan will make a difference in the backs but I'm not sure if he will make a difference in the forwards. Murray Mexted

Could you please post the latest breakdown episode? I’ve been waiting all week. Please?

[@khankake9576]

Wasn't the Caketin built around this time?

[@thestone_01]

Yep. Opened in 2000. This game is in New Plymouth at what was Rugby Park, now Yarrow Stadium, and when the Taranaki was part of the Hurricanes franchise 👌

Way better picture quality than the 240p crap that's all over KZbin haha.

I think sport didn't start being broadcasted in HD in NZ until around 2006 (ish). This looks like upscaled SD. On a 4K TV it looks a little blury.

rucks were a complete mess back then. compared to now, where there is so much more structure

[@davidsat24]

rucks have always been and will always be a mess, also scrums

[@RugbyGuide]

@@davidsat24 Agreed. It looks more like fewer defenders go in now, so not as 'messy', but still a mess with players willingly off their feet on both sides, inconsistent calls.
