[@karlvanbeek1580]

HA!!! Daniel Carter holding the Wilkinson stance the whole tribute. Classic Humor

[@Shaftsus]

nah he just thinks he's still in a car

[@DanBFitness]

Ulick Mikkeline 😂

[@Justiceforpets]

Yeah, he’s definitely doing it on purpose, love the humour in rugby.

[@lukestickings667]

Wilko - legend .... Carter - Legend ... McCaw ... legend .. this is why we love rugby.

[@frankkrank3970]

John ...Legend !

[@AJayJr-um7ep]

Definitely... awesome guys...

[@markhilton1754]

Wilkinson, Carter and McCaw? That's the holy trinity right there.

[@andymccreight3175]

I'd not quite say that but legends of the sport

[@john18454]

Dallaglio then maybe

[@NZENZN]

Lomu

[@kiniviliamebaravilala2037]

Very humbling in Deed ...Hats off Richie and Dan...All the Best Johnny...GB

[@hughfranklin4002]

When these 2 guys tell you've had a great career what more needs to be said. Thank you Jonny for the World cup.

[@58stoddart]

Huge respect of an English legend coming from 2 of the Greats of the game. Thank you from an Englishman 🇳🇿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@joguipo]

... And THOSE are the most humbling 134 seconds of my life. Thanks for sharing.

[@sexioholico]

Oh my… just the fact that Dan and Ritchie are recording this video tells the level of player and sports man Mr. Wilkinson is. Hats off to you Mr. Wilkinson!

[@WalterSobchak1000]

two of the all time greats respecting another, that's why it's the best sport

[@RestorationsFOD]

How brilliant to see this, in what is already a graceful sport. Absolute gentlemen. I love the way rugby players respect each other, its so refreshing.

[@weilijrfang7364]

carter you have a clean heart dude

[@kolaiaraisele9618]

legends respecting another legend.

[@tombennett4895]

Richie and Dan this is awesome of you both. You are legends along with Jonny! Respect from England!

[@crwilson84]

Class from Dan and Richie there, thanks to both for taking the time to do this and for your respect to a legend.

[@danielmalachi8793]

Pretty much epitomises the spirit of rugby and goes on to emphasise why the sport is 100 times better in every way than football/soccer... Real men who tear lumps out of each other for 80 mins and then shake hands & go for a beer after... Class touch, lads!

[@luchiboy]

As a kiwi myself, JW was always one of those guys you disliked only because he was so freaking good. Bloody great goal kicker and tackler. Modest and talented. Hard to say, but you can't stray from the truth. I'm a JW fan for sure. Thank you Johnny for the great moments you brought to the game of rugby! You will surely go down as one of the greatest 1st fives/flyhalfs (depending where your from) rugby has ever seen!

[@luchiboy]

***** I wouldn't say we hated JW highly. We only hate Quade Cooper highly, everyone knows why. We all secretly admired Johnny, though none of us would admit it. Don't wanna give the pome anything to cheer about 😊

[@lardinhoredbeard5089]

to say that as a Kiwi, spot on mate. When the Dan Carter retirement stuff comes around, I'll be vocal too, absolute legend. Nice to see that JW touched the hearts of many. Good on you , mate.

[@jackfaulkner2688]

Is because he is a New Zealander who plays for Australia? We Love Wilkinson, and will be more fond of Carter once he retires. :)

[@11happychap]

No we don't like him because he is a arsehole.

[@jackfaulkner2688]

11happychap Yeah, That might be true.

[@sampapillon]

he is the first english man ever that we cheesy froggies admire and loved, but I guess those two absolute legends may come to toulon about next year to finish their careers the same way JW ended his, and they are more than welcome on the french riviera, a great warm MERCI to the whole rugby world for it's values, respect, and sharing!

[@jennylast3149]

From an English fan thank you Jonny for all you have done for our game. Lovely to hear Dan and Richie paying tribute to him thank you guys.

[@bbmb622]

As a Kiwi, had loads of respect for Wilkinson because he was so good! The way he directs a team around the park with his kicking,running,passing and defence. There will only be one Johnny Wilkinson!

[@johndiesel8240]

Daniel carter is very Humble. Very Nice man

[@ted5543]

Time to award Johnny for the great service to his country. "Sir Johnny Wilkinson"

[@tobiasrooney8087]

respect to Carter & McCaw for taking the time to share this. Great players, great nation and great attitude

[@Lobrown94]

My life as a human being would be complete if these 2 guys took the time out of their lives to send me a message like that. wow! credit to Jonny as well because i don't actually no of any other player that they would do this for

[@lardinhoredbeard5089]

bro, educate yourself, check out all that you on Jonny. The two players you mention are very special players, themselves who will go down as legends. But Jonny was the man who took England to 2003 world cup.

[@dcaotearoa]

one of the great fly halfs of our time. respect from NZ

[@robjennings9143]

Kazmo NZ you know us English love you lot, your twats thought.. to bloody good at rugby 😂😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👊🏼

[@manasabolenaivalu7767]

honestly speaking......Jonny is such a good player I'm a big fan of him..as for Carter and McCaw... thank you for promoting rugby around the world... cheers..!!!

[@charliefoy3271]

This is why I love rugby amazing respect

[@astralplainer]

These two have class. Nice tribute by two of the greatest modest players ever.

[@MrBrianhammer]

Great words by some great men and by god it is a beautiful game this rugby

[@sureseam]

This is part of the true spirit of rugby. Added to which these two are amongst the worlds finest players in any position on the field.

[@ragerancher]

Wilkison truely is a legend both on and off the field. Great to see other rugby greats recognise this as well.

[@DRM1891]

Mad to see two giants of the game showering another player with such huge compliments. Shows how highly thought of JW is and was.

[@biffalo2993]

3 Class acts - Johnny, Dan & Richie.

[@OMGiTsLWR]

''WILKINSON!!'' One of the rare words to put doubt in an all black supporters heart. you the man JW much respect from nz. if we play england, then we look for JW on the roster, if he's there, DISCIPLINE is a must, or we'll get the shit/points kicked out of us.

[@user-tl2cs6wv8b]

It's always nice to see and hear legends of the game complimenting each other!

[@waynebruyns5817]

This is what I love about rugby no love lost on the field massive respect off the field, great touch guys!

[@offal]

Magnificent sportmanship shown here, it must be such an honour to recieve thiis message from these 2 legends, this is why i love Rugby..

[@TheModernRival]

This is so cool from these guys. Major respect. It's what rugby is all about.

[@laymaxwell3628]

Nice one guys !!! :) I'm sure Jonny Wilkinson would be very humbled to see this from you both x

[@danrod8120]

Thanks Jonny !

[@michaeldance5734]

Best sporting moment I ever saw Jonny. Wonderful tribute from two of the greatest ever.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Nice :) From these two legends, the highest praise possible in the sport.

[@lushman15]

Awesome to see two great antipodeans giving homage to Jonny there...I personally would love to pay homage to McCaw...one of the finest No.7's ever! Apart from me of course :P

[@jacobeaston8839]

A class act by two legendary players

[@joshp2008s1]

Top draw stuff from DC tbh, easily the 2 best fly halfs of there generation, all 3 players are world class without a doubt

[@contee12345]

Yeah I agree Jonny and dc are miles above the rest!

[@trentonrehak5426]

100% Right there.

[@gopr3117]

Of their generation or of all? I’ve still not seen a modern day flyhalf dominate like Wilkinson in his prime

[@toiletsmithy3630]

@@gopr3117 and we hadn't seen any modern day flyhalf dominate like carter did in 2005 so don't get ahead of yourself pommy

[@trentonrehak5426]

These are 3 of my all time favorite players... Cant even express in words how much i love the sport and wish i played in high school but we didnt have the sport. This is probably one of the few sports remaining that has class like this that competing players from across the world give a shout out to another player retiring. Kia kaha boys - NZAB's 2015 RWC will always be my favorite team!

[@lardinhoredbeard5089]

well shit... that's just really nice. Kudos to Dan Carter and Richie McCaw for that, lovely tribute. Spot on, two supern sportsmen who have the respect of every single person who has ever watched rugby union.

[@ay77ful]

nice one from 2 great players, huge respect goes out to jonny wilkinson.

[@maxwellfan55]

Good to see this, good for NZ, good for England and especially good for kids taking up the wonderful game of rugby.

[@viking-kiwi5127]

Well done gentlemen. A fitting tribute to a fellow warrior! Ka Mate!

[@luisbaez87]

Johnny wilkinson are underrotable.

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

Johnny Wilkinson was one of those kickers that you just felt every kick was going to be a successful one and when one of them wasn't it was a major shock to the crowd because he very rarely missed.

[@patrickbutler1019]

2 legends praise another legend......

[@robjennings9143]

This is why rugby is only played by real men. Best sport in the world. Destroy but respect 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👊🏼

[@oliscouser]

Very nice lads

[@SistorCarrera]

that was such a huge tribute from 2 of the best in the game,Danny+Ritchie ty taking a time out to do this

[@bluesteel5688]

Two great players and gentlemen....right there

[@michaelwallace8861]

Just noticed Macaws shins/legs. Christ! What a mess and what a fantastic player. Deserves everything NZ can bestow upon him

[@jamesdonnelly8888]

Incredibly impressive

[@ChristianSangiuseppe]

I think this is the first time I've seen a video that's had over 10k views and has only had thumbs up!

[@samconibear3506]

Great sharing from both the 2 men

[@kidkama]

that was really nice guys! But I agree, Jonny's an awesome player and there won't ever be anyone like him ever again.

[@jamesdavies25]

Fair play, two legends talking about a legend

[@jmcunningham7537]

DC hands in Wilko kicking stance through the entire tribute. Classic!

[@adrianbignell83]

generous words from true gentlemen of the sport. as an english fan, would have to agree to them!

[@e36racer44]

Lovely video lads well done Total Respect

[@shazmeister2005]

As a Scot I love to hate JW. It's difficult though, such class, skills and modesty, model rugby player and I would say probably the first truly professional rugby player that took it to a whole new level, set the bar that all who play the game now must aspire to. Also, PMSL at Carter sitting in the Wilkinson kicking pose, funny guys!

[@dbg6227]

'hate to love' is what I think you mean :D

[@alanhillier1033]

Fair play,great pros and nice blokes👍

[@danielmarshall356]

You know you’ve made it when you get a tribute vid on retirement from carter and McCaw !!

[@xIsocrates]

what a great career he had, Ronan O'Gara deserved a tribute along the lines of this also in my opinion

[@clonealgo4939]

Nah ROG was average Jonny is a legend.

[@brianmurphy9532]

Clone Algo ROG was the picked out half for the ERC H Cup team of the first 15 years. Not only that, he was voted best player overall in the first 15 years of H Cup. Instrumental in 2 H Cup wins for Munster. most H Cup points of all time. he's a fair bit more than "average"

[@marshallr40]

Brian Murphy

[@hasifhazimelias]

Brian Murphy Yeah, a bit more than average. His consistency beats everybody. But, a legend? nah. more than average. perhaps yes.

[@Sc0ttynzl]

IS Ronan also paid by Adidas ???? Because thats the link

[@jeremymerrifield7244]

Is Carter the nicest guy in Rugby ? And also the best Number 10 ever . ? Class post from 2 top top players to a great Englishman. RFU rules the world of sport due to blokes like this

[@michaelwallace8861]

Jeremy Merrifield No JW is! Those who came after? studied and copied him. DC could never tackle like him either. But still two superb exponents and players here!

[@jeremymerrifield7244]

Michael Wallace Amen to that .... Merry Christmas

[@michaelwallace8861]

And to you & yours 😀

[@tyonamin]

+Michael Wallace Because tackling has always been a 10's main job... Right? How did DC copy Wilko when he had far better running, distribution and offloading game?

[@tyonamin]

+995sean I won't deny that.

[@simoping]

McCaw and Carter class guys...

[@Vojtanoie]

Thats rugby! Awesome.

[@SMC01ful]

Wilkinson was the best in his day for sure and by 2003, he was at his peak. Great player, and despite all of his terrible injuries carried England through to two consecutive RWC finals. The fact he played through until 2014, with Toulon to a high standard was pretty incredible considering aforementioned injuries. Carter pretty much redefined First Five play, and is the GOAT, until/if Barrett does something like win another RWC. Anyhow, Wilkinson and his main rival of the era Bernie Larkham were superb players and deserve true great status. Merht's was the best in the world circa 95-97, and Spencer deserves an honorable mention. However, they both had tactical shortcomings Carter, Wilkinson, and Larkham improved upon.

[@philbyd]

Well said lads

[@kieransteele5953]

Class

[@charliebooth9089]

CLASS

[@MrSalvia18]

wilkinson hell of a player

[@standelone1674]

Have u seen Wilkinson tackle them BIG guys,wow what an all round great of rugby football

[@luchiboy]

I'd like Johnny to come play for the Auckland Blues in next years Super Rugby. That'd be awesome to see an english great wearing my hometowns jersey!! We need one pretty bad

[@igalflint]

I'd like to see Jonny palying for England next year in London

[@boondoxroxsox]

***** Farrell is quite like a young Jonny in many respects. I think he'll continue to improve.

[@igalflint]

boondoxroxsox sorry he is not

[@boondoxroxsox]

Igal Flint Yes he is. :)

[@igalflint]

boondoxroxsox jonny is a legend; a complete player and Farrell is just a kid

[@phughes4224]

Top blokes!

[@barrysheridan9186]

Happy days remembering Wilco in his prime. Defensively the best Fly Half, a great kicker and a thoroughly clean player.

[@gordonferrar7782]

The blokes who can are out there doing it and those who can't are slinging shit on youtube. just be happy to love the game.

[@palitoa1]

DC----Johnny, I owned you in 05! You weren't even a Lion, you were a cub. RM----Yup!

[@scorpionoli2155]

Yeah he was in the england side and he was also in lions side in 2005

[@martinfoster5763]

Just mimicking Kieran Steele and pure class!

[@alfiebibby796]

mccaws shin just shows the player he is

[@kiwi7866]

I was one of many Kiwi's who use to use Wilko's kicking technique.

[@MrJdeeze]

holy shizz thats HUMBLE in the Jungle cuh

[@vyacheslavbiryukov1066]

Прикольно. Один крутой сэр вместе с ещё одним крутым сэром нахваливают ещё одного крутого сэра))))

[@philippaik5371]

Even DC’s hands are in JW’s kicking position throughout the video

[@MrSalvia18]
