The 2015 team was amazing. And just as amazing is the 2015 strip. It's by far the best looking All Blacks jersey of all time

[@fluff1991]

youre right, paired with the whole team wearing the same boots. whoever designed that 'blackest jersey ever' with the silver logo instead white. wow, take a bow

[@taimomatau9606]

Straight up agree💯

[@davidpeters3857]

Most complete team in history

[@Boolama27]

Who ever put this together needs rise... awesome stuff!!

[@russellthio]

Aaron smith pre-celebrating savea’s try against France never fails to put a smile on my face. Absolutely magnificent

[@restlessly12]

He’s spoken about it before. He said the moment Savea got the ball he knew he was going to make it. He was thinking the French players should just get out of his way… they’re just going to be part of his highlight reel.

[@TapiwaMunyanyi]

Dan Carter in 2015 was playing his best rugby and what a way to bow out of the game.

[@thabokambule3521]

One of the best rugby teams I've ever seen. Soo in sync. Them wearing those all black boots also made it that much better. Every member of that 2015 squad knew what to do. I could go on and on about that squad. It must have been amazing to be part of that squad 😭❤️❤️🔥

[@robertmiller2173]

Ben Smith my favorite fullback of all time! Fantastic, what a team! What a Captain... I could go on and on!

[@expat74]

Agree and I loved Cullen too but Ben's all round game was incredible .

[@masterroshimagazines4354]

Ben smith under rated. One of our best utility backs ever and my personal favourite AB fullback

[@dominicjohnson5352]

A fantastic team - one of New Zealand's finest. I thought there was some shabby play from the Wallabies in the final - particularly Kepu - even in this short highlight package you can see his high shot on Carter (30:05), his attempt to pull Milner-Skudder's face off (31:28) and king-hitting McCaw from behind with a swinging forearm (30:42). Lucky to stay on the pitch

[@luger188]

Damn, you're right, 3 pretty dirty shots, wouldn't pass muster today I wouldn't think!!

[@jamesogden7457]

Havnt the aussies come so far undet eddie hones

[@rovekid1]

still remember that dirty shot on McCaw.....I was totally pissed but everyone else was too busy celebrating the try

the ABs vs Boks was the real final at RWC 2015, 2 teams at the top of their game, incredible game, pity the draw didnt see them at the final..

[@joedennehy386]

Good thing about it he knew it & owned it but, there was no intent or malice.

Berrett always better as a super-sub than a starter, especially with tired legs out on the field which he easily exposes for pace.
