Why Americans LOVE Rugby & the All Blacks 😍 | Offsiders: San Diego, Ep 1

[@baltic88]

Andy is a great ambassador for the All Blacks and rugby in general. Keep him on.

[@marklinehan5423]

A fun watch. Our eldest son played USA collegiate rugby, represented the USA Varsity team and had a handful of games in the MLR. There is quite a following of the game in the Sates. One time our sons team played Dartmouth at the US Navy and Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis. Not a big crowd, but some had driven 4-5 hours just to watch a rugby game. Hopefully I am still alive and well enough to enjoy the 2031 RWC. Up the ABs and Bula Fiji

[@CoolCoyote]

I have to say that is bloody awesome that San Diego has restaurant called Queenstown and make kiwi food.

[@cyancey76]

❤We have 5 new zealand restaurants in San Diego. 2 x Queenstown Public House, Raglan Public House, Dunedin New Zealand Eats, and Bare Back Grill

[@magnumpi8097]

This was really interesting to watch. I love how Rugby is growing in America.

[@ShaadHamid]

Loved Jessica on OITNB, and just loving her passion for the sport. Andy has such a great personality, the two of them are such a great pairing.. can’t wait for the rest of the episodes

[@August_Ice]

Yes! Bring Rugby to San Diego.

[@stevenadams5153]

The Major General quoted from Daniel Carter and Shag. Respect!!

[@Pre1321]

Two star generals don't just do stuff like this on a whim. There's only a few hundred of them out of 3,000,000+ in the military. He genuinely wanted to meet an All-Black.

[@guesswho6925]

This is great tv! Keep it up All Blacks media team

[@AllBlacks]

Three more episodes to go!

[@animeinallquantities]

So heartwarming to read all these positive messages. God bless you all.

[@peterhughes8699]

I'm aussie and think this is a fantastic AB, and rugby general, promo video. Unfortunately, Rugby Australia is 20 years behind NZ and currently could not even conceive of a video like this

[@CouplesLite]

As an Kiwi living here in the U.S i always love when they have tournaments and special games I see so many Rugby Jerseys it reminds me of Home. I used to play for Counties and Papakura and love talking about pies and Steinlager when I see a a fellow kiwi.

[@kaptainkiwi]

I used to coach Collegiate level rugby in the US back in the late '90s for SIU (Southern Illinois University Carbondale) for a couple of seasons while completing my MBA it was amazing to see the commitment these guys put into the game can't wait for the All blacks so whip the Fiji team

[@johnangsman7820]

Come to old loads next may 2-3

[@verdellellis4043]

San Diego is gorgeous ❤❤

[@JaemanEdwards]

San Diego is a very plastic city with very plastic people. Lived there for 10 years

[@StevenSchmidtSnr]

Love that photo at the end with Jessica, Andy and Luke. And that's why he's a lock and not halfback. 😂Awesome piece guys.

[@hawkeye5744]

Played club at Parkland CC back home in the midwest and I been a ABs fan for years! Wish I could've made it to the match (live in NYC now) but I'll be watching from afar!! Let's get it done boys!

[@Guest-sh5ws]

We got it done , bring on Argentina leshgo

[@fergusporteous-gregory2557]

The ABs are going to play Ireland in Chicago in 2025

[@hawkeye5744]

@fergusporteous-gregory2557 hopefully I can snag tickets

[@haydnsolomon7242]

This was good to watch

[@donnybrascocoliogne819]

As a Kiwi, I think the U.S.A EAGLES can be and will be a Powerhouse. Despite the many other dominating sports in the U.S (American football, basketball, baseball, football etc,) when the U.S gets players that are up to the tasks from a population over 304 million plus, they can be a FORCE. Hope by then in the 2031 RWC in the U.S, they will better their current Ranking of 18th for 2024 atleast within top 10 by then.👍👍👍👍

[@dieselbassohyah1533]

New to rugby. South African friends have a team, Australian friends have a team, American Eagles are horrible, picked the AB'S and find myself really enjoying the game. Still working on Cricket. From Northern California.

[@SBW_85]

@@dieselbassohyah1533 welcome aboard bro

[@schnickeringhen]

Great choice! Give your Eagles some time and they'll be awesome too ❤

[@gaius_enceladus]

@dieselbassohyah1533 - good on you for joining the rugby crowd! Cricket is great to watch too!

[@AllBlacks]

Welcome to the team!

[@garethdesborough7960]

Welcome to the best sport in the World! I love American football too but rugby is special.

[@mirandahotspring4019]

Great to see the USA taking to the great game.

[@beamishpirikahu3145]

Damn, I want to watch the next one now...hate waiting

[@JaemanEdwards]

Like a little soap opera watching girl

[@abrahamtuvunivono6161]

Come on Fiji lets GOOOOOOO

[@garywagner2466]

Decent stadium for a rugby match. Hope the weather holds. Looking forward to the highlights. Thanks for posting.

[@CarmellitaLeman]

[@morrisanderson818]

[@steverangihuna4965]

Too good Andy!

[@SBW_85]

Gummon Andy, mean bro. Get Bower on board this week, he’d be conflicted! Go Abs’s 🖤

[@anivawilson4337]

Andy bro town. Great voice for this series. Gift of the gab. That little lady needs to come south to god zone and do a series here. Maybe you both should do the winter tour and follow our ABs doing the damage.

[@yangtze873]

An actual Maj. General 😮🔥

[@islandtat3414]

Marines have a reading list called the Commandants reading list. One of the books is James Kerr’s Legacy that is highly recommended being that it’s on the Commandant’s reading list.

[@ianwilkinson3425]

This is great. Andy was always chipper so he's a great host with Jessica. Wish he was commentating instead of Justin bloody Marshall. 😂 up th AB's🇳🇿

[@SBW_85]

Agree re Marshy, whinger & scared of gregan lol

[@SD78]

Angry Ellis.

[@valerieselau7384]

Awesome insights. And I really loved San Diego which is a wonderful opportunity to showcase. 😊

[@JaemanEdwards]

San Diego is an extremely plastic place with plastic people. Lived there for 10 years.

[@user-yb9hi3us4p]

Eating a pie with a knife and fork? Hand in your citizenship fellas.

[@zd3_yt]

love this !!!!

[@Helloworldhello663]

Good stuff! Go the ABs

[@will_274]

Great content. Wadda Flash 😃👍

[@wiremuhewitt8678]

Steel sharpens steel!

[@mierypesado6740]

When did Andy Ellis start looking like John Key💀

[@peterferan4389]

Very entertaining

[@mrbaab5932]

Did everyone notice the holy animal of New Zealand at the restaurant? Sheep 🐑 of course

[@jamescrawford9643]

I played rugby in America from 1975 thru 2005 playing at least 400 matches! I wouldn't trade it for anything! 😡🤛🏉👍🍺

[@maifaith90]

🇫🇯💯🇫🇯🇫🇯 let's go

[@Spaceman2484]

Clicked on this to figure out what the channel name meant lmao

[@johntepu]

Kia ora korua...

[@Joe-ns4cg]

So many collabs nowadays, more than mr beast

[@johnoriordan7419]

Support your own team

[@G89-u7s]

Should’ve asked them about the SAS 👀

[@nedludd7622]

Well that is a dozen I'll never get back. As a San Diegan, I fear what they are going to show about the town. Probably all the usual banal tourist traps and attractions. Maybe that is a good thing as normal residents won't get bothered.

[@JoshuaRae-zy8ky]

Fiji dont do haka they do the cibi cibi andy ellis should know that

[@GinaTorresVegas]

Hi

[@MAXWELL.MAORI.01]

🫰

[@MissPerpul]

😂 funny, alot of my Kiwi mates and whanau can't stand rugby union now and all switched to league.

[@CoolCoyote]

kiwis and americans get on very well I talk to a bunch everyday and yes its Trump we go for not sleepy joe.

[@Coconautify]

Speak for yourself mate...

[@HeeniKeke]

Don’t associate my name and other New Zealanders with Trump

[@Guest-sh5ws]

​@HeeniKeke and that goes for you too , I support trump 💯percent all the way from South auckland nz , but this about rugby not politics

[@Waks23]

ABs 30+

[@gtw8455]

Tu Meke people

[@Marioandrade-pv5uw]

Ok

[@bro3545]

How much did this rubbish cost the ABs? I'm all for employing ex ABs, but who is this woman? Actually, really crap attempt at inclusivity. Save the DEI, it's rugby.

[@khankake9576]

Tautoko

[@cjstryder5441]

You lost it at DEI. Is that the new word now🙄

[@schnickeringhen]

Or you could save us your sanctimonious rant and just go watch some cat videos to calm down.

[@Tuhoeterra]

i guess you'll see what you want to 🤡🤡🤡

[@dbellnzbell6]

@bro3545 hey dig a hole in jump in mate, it's 2024 - you must be a such a laugh
