1987 as a teenager in NZ it was awesome

[@MrKgriffiths1]

I am British, but have been an All Black fan for nearly 50 years, Fitzy, you are still one of the best!

[@ianmarsden1130]

A great player and a good man. Sean is a great role model for any rugby player from any country and any position.

[@joedennehy386]

I enjoyed that as a kiwi, and fervid all black supporter for many years. Thanks fitzy great idea, whoevers it was

[@t-k4444]

80s 90s were very memorable years for me. Such a joy to watch fitzy lead the boys out, ABs and Auckland. Thank you for unforgettable memories. Living just around the corner from eden park, made it alot more special. A True Blue supporter and am, and will always be a Proud supporter of the ALL BLACKS. Keep Going AB, BRING HOME THE BACON.

[@renepatolo2687]

He’s my favourite all black of all time. Really because of what a great guy he is. When I was young, we went to many blues and all black games and back then you could go down on the field and meet the players after the game. One game I was in line to get a poster from him and some teenage boy stole it out of my hand. This legend saw it, snatched it back off the teen, gave him a growling and nicely passed it back to me with a kind smile. And that is why he’ll always be my favourite.

[@amandamalunghau1954]

Joeli was a BEAST too, either way the ball went you had 2 different type of threat waiting to get ball in hand than its SHOWTIME. R.I.P to the LATE GREAT JONAH LOMU... shout out to FITZY my FAVOURITE ALL BLACKS CAPTAIN...

[@vagalN]

One of the best AB captains and no 2's. He was not the most athletic but he was so uncompromising and tough. Good on ya Fitzy- even if you are now half pommy!

[@thiswales2804]

Great man, meet him often now he's with the Scarlets.

[@aaronmckechnie4467]

A joy to watch him play Rugby. Played Rugby how you're suppose to. Played with heart and with great determination. Played with passion and played with skill. Was also tough, and smart and skillful and didn't make many mistakes. Good team man and leader. The type of guy I would have loved to play along side. The complete hooker. The best of his era. Would thrive in any era.

[@Tehui1974]

Fitzy aged like fine wine during his rugby career, he got better and better. He'll definitely make most greatest All Black XV teams.

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

My favourite All Black Captain!

[@wezvandez]

I love how Sean focuses on the beauty of the 95 World Cup without making some excuse about being poisoned. A few All Black supporters could learn from him, but I guess they would not quite understand the significance of the event.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Legend❤️ this is a great series

[@robosborne5489]

as a North Harbour supporter Sean Fitzpatrick was our nemesis. I loved to hate him as a player as he wasnt adverse to a cheap shop BUT as a jersey and sports tragic you cant deny what Sean Fitzpatrick did as a player .

[@davidedbrooke9324]

I’ve seen this with Will Carling, funny how rugby players are all cut from the same mould, modest, nice, quality guys.

[@amyturner6275]

I love the way his favorite world cup was the one that changed a nation and they didn't win it shoes he sees his life is for something bigger

[@curiousuranus810]

Like Manchester United, in the UK, I always want to hate the All Blacks... but they're all fantastic blokes.

[@DamonLynch]

If ever any of us were lucky enough to make a short film featuring Sean Fitzpatrick, we must remember to tell the audio guy to leave some headroom in the recording to allow for Sean's booming, animated voice.

[@robsparrow]

As a Springbok supporter, never really liked Fitzy…Didn’t even want to like him… but I now after watching this I guess I do. Seems like a genuinely good bloke.

[@camwells9726]

Most are , we can get drawn into not liking someone because they play for the opposition, but off the field you will find they are mostly good people.

[@brentconnock2513]

Win or lose a world cup, no small thing to have been the captain of the best team in the world!

[@markgardiner1767]

Great video, gentle men👌

[@stephenreeds3632]

A great man, but it made me smile when he talked about moving into the professional era. Everyone knew they'd be "shamateurs" for decades.

[@kwerk2011]

Aaah, Fitzy. The man who coined just about every classic rugby cliche in post match interviews. Where would we be without "A game of two halves" or "that's test rugby" or "played for the full eighty minutes" or "the boys gave 110%". The great Eroni Clarke once gave a post match interview as captain of Counties Manukau during Fitzy's tenure that was composed ENTIRELY of Fitzy cliches. I wish I could find it somewhere.

[@leecarlyle9463]

What a lineup '95 AB's World Cup Final? Still got the weetbix tin...

[@thomasgilbert7560]

[@BobJones20001]

Note the language so many years after he stopped playing. We, Our, Legacy, Commitment, Custodian. This is the reason the All Blacks are the most successful sports team of any sport ever.

[@saganspirit]

Would probably agree pre-World Cups but South Africa were out of the picture for a long time. As a Welshman, South Africa are the best now - 4 World Cups out of 8 competed in. Some record.

[@offaloffadangoo]

LOVE

[@evangelist6277]

A question I've had for a while about jerseys; a lot of teams embroider the game day stats on their jerseys but we don't see it with the AB's is that because they don't do it or is it black on black? which I totally understand if it is.

[@BBB-iv1uk]

1993 was the first time the All Blacks started embroidery on the jersey on the end of year tour to the UK.Its black on black so hard to see.

[@oldmanwillyboy2786]

Ask Fitzy if he remembers a flight to Geneva to go on a skiing trip with Charvis and Jinky! Record amount of G&T's on a two hour flight!

[@bigrobbo75]

as a Harbour supporter I loved to hate Sean Fitzpatrick , he was always 'thick in the woods' trying to skew the game to suit him. But you mellow as you get older.Onya Fitzy !!

[@olliepaterson6665]

good tales from Fitzy. go easy on those swoosh sound effects would ya?

[@thadtuiol1717]

Gotta admit, I used to laugh when I saw white AB players doing the Haka, but in recent years they've got really good at it and it doesn't look funny anymore. I like how it has helped bind the nation together and bridge divides.

[@chadalexander8722]

Gary(RSA) here - therein lies the problem "expected" to win.These poor players can't just play to their potential and love the game they have so much "expectation/pressure" on them.When u lose u cnt move on the problem hurt pride,ego sets in then the mourning begins -SAD. Yr haka , Eng formed the "V".Owen smirk p!sed u off , otha teams r up in yr face/challenge.Imagine a team turn their backs(yes they' all get fined) its not disrespect. Just as haka sacred and used to intimidate/fear in the opperstion , the opposition can also get into the AB psyche that's were the opponent has won 51% of the game.Come on AB play for the love of the game - WIN(celebrate) / LOSE(move on) - U r only human after all😉

[@azlanrahmat7418]

That "expectation" is what make the All Blacks so successful and any team hates losing anyway. To say the All Blacks are sore losers when they lost a match is just not true. That is just your perception. When the All Blacks lose a game, they always have post mortem and learn from the mistakes they made in that game. That's why it's rare for All Blacks to lose back-to-back. Whoever beats the All Blacks will earn the respect from them. I'm sure the All Blacks players really enjoy a good game of footy very much so.

[@gazcott]

Can't expect a saffy to understand the AB culture.

[@Jordan-ws6jy]

That pressure drives standards and that expectation forces innovation. The fear of losing a match while wearing the black jersey is a great motivator to prepare for a test as best as possible, regardless of opposition. The All Blacks secret weapon for converting pressure into victory, over the last 2 decades - in my opinion - is a man named Gilbert Enoka. A truly invaluable man to NZR. Every sports team needs a Gilbert Enoka. That expectation of success will never go away and has always been there. Dealing with it is just part of the job.
