Munster Rugby vs New Zealand All Blacks 2008

[@doggonedean5314]

Coming from a 66 yr old yank that played for 28 years with a love of Rugby that rivals the fanaticism of religious zealots, this is my favorite match of all time. Not just that Munster played their hearts out, but that the spirit of rugby flowed all the way up the the stands and into the hearts of the Munster fans. It was the consummate Rugby match.

[@mauricegarvey4631]

I love rugby too, played it for over a decade, but being a rugger religious zealot is a good thing brother!

Big Leinster fan here was only a young lad watching this but I cried when Munster lost this game big respect for the Irish proviences.

[@tasha0144]

Remember watching this game live on tv..the noise was deafening..this you tube video does not do it justice and as always Munster were brilliant..Im born in Dublin but always proud of my Munster roots as my Mom hailed from Limerick.

[@TheSconer]

Every time I watch the munster lads doing the haka I get chills every time

The 2008 Munster team nearly repeated the famous win by the 1978 team against the ABs in this match.Great game.

[@lockedaway9608]

The most amazing match i ever seen.

[@adcsm101take2]

The lack of no match clock/score is very irritating.

[@jupitorious7925]

Best game of rugby I have ever seen

[@loreb226]

one of the most amazing things of rugby is the body and legs of their players hahaha God bless that game

[@anthonyprendervile904]

Legends an I'm Munster to the core and always will be

[@lewiadam3382]

Great footwork Howlet your getting old & that last kick why , take it up the guts the All blacks where tired.But great to both

[@shutupyouplank]

It's quite a relief to see that Romain hasn't got worse at reffing in recent years, he was already shite 12 years ago. Great match though, thank you for the upload!

[@tasha0144]

Have to agree..some bad calls leading up to all blacks winning score

[@christophermoriarty3933]

This made my day mate. Although England did deserve the win this weekend, I'd be livid if I was Welsh and watching those calls. Nothing for Biggar being cleaned out in the air, or around the scrum.

[@andywalker9079]

Brilliant

[@robertpirsig5011]

Warwick had some game that day.

[@paulgres3427]

Expect his last play... 1:46:31 How can you kick your last ball like that...

[@3storiesUp]

He made us better every time he played.

[@dennismccormack7946]

HOLY GROUND.

[@dsm577]

why on earth did he kick the ball at the end??? that was shockingly bad

[@888young2]

unusual decision to kick

[@Arthur_Vinicius]

jogão !!!!!

I was well up for this until I heard rhyl Nugents voice

So you've been watching ALL matches played in Ireland for 20 years with the volume turned off? #Muppet

@@cringycook9597 Ryle (or any other commentator for that matter) hasn't mentioned a winning Munster player's name for like 14 years now! No wonder you're getting all nostalgic watching them lose to a half-assed ABs squad waaaaaay back in 2008! The Razzie era must have been pure torture for the Thomand faithful - and the rest!!!😛

Mickey Mouse ABs team!

[@Cpchurch87]

Am I the only one that gets annoyed with people cheering through the haka?? Don’t see why the Munster crowd drowned out their players haka

[@donnachaoriordan8878]

Cpchurch87 shut up they were very excited

[@Cpchurch87]

Donnacha O'Riordan well made point, thanks for your feedback.

[@22grena]

STFU whinger

[@connorcoleman0379]

Donnacha O'Riordan I’d love to see Leinster play them

[@jupitorious7925]

They are trying to intimidate the other team, if the crowd and players don't want to be intimidated before a battle then they will do as they please..

[@thomascoleman8300]

sound sucks

[@Unborn-Stillborn]

As a kiwi I find the haka embarrassing at this stage ....

[@bumwees4531]

It's a good thing its not up to you whether they do it or not then.

[@Unborn-Stillborn]

@@bumwees4531 yeh ... we have to keep on embarrassing ourselves ... especially when we do the haka at a soccer game and then get hammered ...

[@bumwees4531]

@@Unborn-Stillborn you see it as something to be ashamed of, I couldn't be more proud.

[@Unborn-Stillborn]

@@bumwees4531 I am ashamed of it .. especially havin worked and travelled in europe for years I know what people really think of it ... a dance at a game from a divided nation ... it's bullshit ...

[@bumwees4531]

@@Unborn-Stillborn thats alright for them to think that, everyone has there opinion. Every nation is divided, you're apart of it all. Instead of being embarrassed with something that has absolutely nothing to do with you, wether or not you were bron in NZ, they're not doing the haka for you or for anyone else's opinion, you could just not care? People will always whinge at something, especially if it's culturally or religiously related. My culture amongst the many that have either died out or become so lost in today's society is apart of the reason I'm here and who I am. I couldn't be more at peace with myself having a fundamental knowledge of my ancestors and what they did to get here and what they did after that. The haka doesn't represent you, stop hating on something you'll apparently never understand. And as for a Europeans point of view on maori culture, so what?

howlett = howler, he was the weakest link , messed up at every touch, everything he did was weak and hopeless useless and weak. despite that Munster gave it all that could. cant ask for anything more.
