That Dan Carter, Umaga, Laulala, Muliaina and Rocokoko backline was monsterous! Will never forget the days!

[@solkimmyjones]

Spencer was awesome too, he worked very well with Rokocoko especially

[@Navigator_Isle]

@@solkimmyjones I will always choose Carlos Spencer over Carter. Carter was greater statistically speaking, but King Carlos was just so much more exciting to watch like a bloody rugby magician.

[@solkimmyjones]

​@@Navigator_Isle I know what you mean, Carter was more reliable and better all round but when Spencer was on, he was ON. No one else could pull off the shit that he did

[@FLRMLTJLSLL23]

Laulala? I'm sure he only played 1 test.

[@johndiesel8240]

Dont forget maa nonu lol

[@tysonuk]

I still don't think I have seen a winger with more flair than him. For all the well deserved praise Lomu receives, I got to say Rokocoko is the best winger to put on the all blacks jersey in my opinion.

[@TheFunkhouser]

+tysonuk The games played in a diffrent form now I reckon, the AB's have SO many great center backs it seems the wingers get less of a change of scoring as to back then. But AB's have Savea, and hes one of a very best, still young with plenty of miles still in him. Wait and see ;)

[@tysonuk]

I have no doubt in my mind Savea will go down in history as the best. At least for a short period anyway.

[@TheFunkhouser]

tysonuk Nooo.. he is very good yes of course, but not the best. Hey watch the doco '100 YEARS OF ALL BLACK RUGBY AT HOME'. Im actually picking John Kirwan on wing! The guy was a machine! I didnt know how good he actually was as I was too young then. But heck, he was amazing. Please try and watch it.

[@gwilliams4674]

+tysonuk I think he was extremely underrated when compared to Lomu. Although Savea has now surpassed Lomu's shadow, I always thought Joe sparked the era of the "full package" winger.

[@bostyn8641]

Saveas awesome but I think he lacks flair. JR is the most skillfull winger of all time.

[@jswan8]

One of his biggest supporters. He carved my beloved Springboks up back in the day.

[@logan_taylor]

Whenever I think of the good old rugby days the first thing that comes to mind is that dive from Rokococo

[@L36ACY]

"LEGEND" one of if not the best winger ever!

[@supamaorifella195]

My dad Use to call him Joe fast fucking Coco.

[@Youre]

Oh how I miss the sight of that swan dive

[@paulsaj2241]

Best dive in the professional era.

[@jabajaba15]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS!!! RESPECT!!

[@caza00caza]

Joe went to my school in pakuranga and his mum and dad lived down my road when I was growing up. I remember walking home one night when he almost hit me with his orange jeep lol. He was my fuck'n idol growing up man and I love watching these especially now with the RWC2015 going on.

[@chateae]

+caza00caza I also went to St Kents and boarded at Bruce House. I was a couple years younger than Rokocoko so I only met him a few times during school, and watched him played in the 1st XV. We are sons of Kentigern! Wonder how Mr. Cowie is doing....

[@eronz6220]

Who else is here after he announced his retirement

[@keza41]

Yep, outstanding AB winger...

[@JinNOSify]

guy was an absolute beast in his prime. One of my favourite players.

[@danielhiggins3176]

Joe had it all man , one of the most complete wingers to play the game....he punished us and every other team many a time.👏👏🇿🇦🤙

[@edauvaa1730]

Air Rokocoko. Loved watching rugby when Joe was at the top of his game, with the finishing dive landing that he took to just another notch level up. Great watch.

[@johndiesel8240]

Too Much Speed

[@Richensphere]

At his peak during the first half of his career he was damn near unstoppable. Great video.

[@mrdempsey95]

One of the most lethal winger to play the game

[@peterthompson1366]

Some of the best footy ever! And some great names from the past. Awesome memories

[@theflylice]

he practically invented the hit and spin and the pirouette spinning side step, he was great for NZ and the Blues, miss him

[@prxblemboii5758]

will always be my favourite player

[@fijianz1]

He was really an X factor player.. it was a shame the All blacks used him then chucked him out in his prime and they've paid the price heavily without him. He was awesome on the left wing so why change him to the right where he hardly got the ball and then coaches say he's lost form.. dumb az. What a delight to see Joe play and those famous dives 🙂

[@MisterRugbyFan]

Great ball carrier, excellent finisher, brilliant explosive pace and power, but his only weaknesses was his positional defense and work under the high ball, still a great winger in his time.

[@fazertace6837]

Phenomenal player. One of the greatest wingers of all time.

[@DaEncore]

Definitly one of the most exciting players in his prime!

[@leeesera2073]

LEGEND

[@DaEncore]

No doubt one of the most exciting player in an all blacks jersey.

[@EMU1111]

one of the best of all time for sure

[@TheDutchiedonut]

can't even imagine playing against rokocoko on the left wing, and sivivatu on the right hahah such a deadly combination

[@sammytdawg8816]

Legend. I use to love watching the all blacks when he was on

[@wattienz]

Although - I gotta admit that it was nice having Roks and Sivivatu in the same team for as long as we did

[@B055C0E]

you're the man rokz ! come back again someday

[@DaxSports1]

3:14 ran through some legends on this run Botha Matfield Devilliers and Burger hahaha

[@edawg654]

I used to like rugby a lot more back then. Not sure why, but all the players were so unique

[@kolomotua22]

My Gooosh, what a player! He really was great wasn't he! Miss you Joe Rokocoko!

[@TheDutchiedonut]

dont get me wrong, i love watching savea, jane, and dagg wreak havoc in the back three for the all blacks, but i used to love watching the combination of rokocoko, sivivatu, and muliaina

[@nicpuni]

Great Clip, I forgot how bloody good he was back in the day.

[@jayemare91]

3:11 one of the most brilliant individual try's you will see at international level

[@castro_d-_-b]

Straight up legend

[@raptormaster666]

There's a clip somewhere of that try against France where he did a complete spin, this guy was so light on his feet.

[@onjadar]

NZ couldn't snap up Caucau and probably thought Rokocoko (also Fijian) was going to become a greater player. NZ got Rokocoko but if they had snatched up Caucau to play for NZ he would have done wild magic for them and also I reckon he'd still be playing top flight super rugby and international rugby. But credit to Caucau for sticking to Fiji - you cant beat the pride in playing for your home country. And I have to say that Joe has done EXTREMELY WELL for NZ anyways..

[@camborocks]

2:35 disgusting trip there after a neck stretcher. What a prat.

[@187prettyboy]

Rokocoko introduced us to the vertical fend. It's a Fijian trademark. Instead of stretching the arm out, the arm stays down but stiff. And when you hit them, you only hit and hold on to the arm, not the body, and they brush you aside.

[@Tani-wd2yc]

Hardworking wing, really earned his money on the day.. Bless him..

[@sg3f2]

3:57 the rocket man !! Damn 100% agree. He is fast

[@johndiesel8240]

He Makes it Look Very Easy haha I think his only jogging from the 50m 😂 Thats why you slow down when chip the ball.. Imagine he went full speed 🉐

[@Drweavil]

That roll on his back to score that try was great, that's O'Driscoll level of skill that.

[@TheMangiSimbu]

gotta love the spin step!

[@danssszzz]

Obviously. He's a well accomplished rugby player, legendary All Black as well as winger, St.Kent's legend, role model for aspiring young pacific players, classy showman and to top it off a very humble person. Whereas im just a 17 year old prop forward who tried to emulate his favourite wings dive in a secondary's college match.. Good Call Sherlock

[@A30N1C]

that grubber kick and chase was beast

[@TDOGG1323]

FUK i miss this guy one of the best wings for the ABS

[@saldcq]

the most underated player of all time

[@SPEED-si4xy]

Undoughtbly the best finishers of the game - the fijian flyers: rococoko, sivivatu,caucau,vunibaka,Naholo, Nadolo,reece,delasau,tuqiri,radradraradra,tuisova,goneva,bobo and a dozen others to name.

[@mruv5944]

Smoothest dive of all time

[@mwitisale]

If you notice most of Rok's highlights are approx '03 to '06(and rightly so). Mind you he played for NZ till around 2011. I think his major problem was that around '06 to '07he put on noticeable bulk and moved from an elusive burn you with pace player (think around '03 where he was 90kgs or a little over at best) to around '08 onwards (where he was over 100 kgs) and was first, a more physically confrontational player and less elusive. This shift in ideology i believe was his greatest undoing.

[@rhinomonster1]

Rokocoko, quite possibly the best winger to bless a rugby pitch

[@nekksole]

best ever!!!GONNA MISS EM!!!!

[@timfrost08]

Love Rokocoko........ massive bloke but played like a super lithe small guy.......... EPIC STYLE POINTS

[@deathya1]

Rocket Joe.

[@Rapidfire147]

he was a really good winger, but when it came to around 2010-2011, thats where he caked it

[@CotiSABALERO]

WHAT A PLAYER!!!!!

[@NesianBoY96]

Miss these days :(

[@mastertee28]

best joe rocks vid!

[@Fonoti007]

i remember this guy back when he was in his prime... mr untouchable try scoring machine!!

[@jabajaba15]

All Blacks god of rugby!! LOVE ALL BLACKS!!! LOVE RUGBY!!!

[@187prettyboy]

Yea that's why it's called a Fijian trademark. Fijians have been doing it for 50 years. But Rokocoko just hahppened to be the first high profile All Black, so he has more TV exposure than previous Fijians.

[@Idkidk55957]

The try at 3:24 how the hell do you even do that against South Africa. Pure brilliance

[@cschaka1]

WOOOOOOW !!!!! Roko the Punisher !! :)

[@Jimaleana]

ROCKATHOCKO HAHAHA brings back memories THE GOOSE STEP KING THIS GUYS IS THE ALLEN IVERSON OF RUGBY

[@nyranstanton203]

hes got a higher try count and ratio and percentage than Lomu. He should always be in the conversation of best winger to ever play the game.

[@h7p10]

I have always admire the way this guy scores a try ..... In the air ..... with a leap ..... lol

[@Willard142]

When he started he went around people near the end he could go around and through people easily

[@oliscouser]

Great player

[@TamanadonderShaka820]

ただ速いだけじゃないウィングってホントカッコいい。

[@michaeltoeta278]

the mans still only 30.. he can still come play for the All Blacks when ever

[@QualityMusicFanatic]

one of the best wings

[@iOLY32]

What a beast!

[@JalaldeFISH]

the sad thing was that after the 2007 world cup he was never the same player since, he just didn't have that same spark that made him great. Shame :( as I was such a HUGE admire of him. Him and Douggie were the best combo

[@Nyasalands_Finest]

He became a marked man.. He was still the fastest Allblack at the time but better defence systems negated his impact. Same thing happened to Habana..

[@theflylice]

Jonah already said himself that Caucau is the best winger in the world, I know he was being humble and all but look at it like this, Jonah Lomu was peaking right at the start of the professional era when guys werent as big or well conditioned as today, Jonah wouldnt be able to run through half the french/english team today. Roko and Caucau are wingers in the classical sense of what a winger is, fast and agile.

[@adele17653]

Rokocoko's resume says otherwise.

[@commoner477]

Best all black winger

[@commoner477]

Dude would go beast mode every time he played africa

[@mischalala803]

Dammmm no wonder he's was called the rocket man, the moment he takes they be lucky to catch him 😮😮😮

[@wattienz]

My God! Could you imagine what the All Blacks could have done if they had Lomu and Rocokoko in the same team?? DRRROOOOOLLLL

[@mattharper4223]

My granddad use to call him Joe wanna cup of cocoa. I miss them both!

[@ilaivunibola]

that is so true bro ...never do really thought about that fact ...I came to the in the early statesaround 2000 and guys out here dont get the trick behind it they come flying and they go flying past coz of that all they get is the arm and to make it worse rugby out here is during winter raining season ...

[@jamesotieno7272]

HE IS THE BEST

[@manabrown5668]

At his peak, Joe wore jet shoes and had jet pace.

[@vulkan124]

One of the All Black stars that was born in Fiji

[@bobbyberger]

much better tribute than the habanna one

[@tadiwac1]

Beast

[@zhangdaniel6098]

Spencer, Umaga，Kelleher ，Muliaina， Rakocoko 。This is all black‘s dream-line！

[@tizianodsv]

Joe was a James Cook man! Got a scholarship to go st kents for 7th form. He never forgot where his stomping grounds were :) for me the best winger the all blacks have had. Rate him higher then Jonah! Haha. Step hit and spin!

[@raptormaster666]

That spin and offload against France (0:22), does anyone have a full link of that, that was some dazzling leg work, and led to a try, if I recall correctly.

[@weswally1]

2:56 - What dreams are made of!

[@It.Lee02]

what a playeer he was!!!!!!!

[@Noneforall.]

Probably cos he's Fijian, so he's very humble! which is also why he's a great player!

[@eugenepoon]

What you on about pal? hes recognised as one of the greatest wingers of all time!

[@PeanutCHEESE94]

2:48 He looks like he's thinking "Holy s*** I caught it!"

[@sratstrat]

yes, yes it is

[@86nugget19]

That laast try was something else

[@ThreeCodesOfRugby]

chris ashton just takes the glory with his dives, at least joe works for his

[@187prettyboy]

Will message you a link to a video that demonstrates this Fijian fend.

[@filippodelsanto7259]

3:57 best try I've ever seen.
