This was a great clash between Australia and New Zealand at Brisbane in 1996. This was the decider for the first Tri-Nations Series, and it went to New Zealand. The match featured some of the great names of that decade (and this one too), like Lomu, Gregan, Marshall, Burke and Bunce.

A famous victory for Munster over the All Blacks in 1978:

In this match between the All Blacks and Manu Samoa in 2008 we get a chance to see competing versions of the Haka (each team that performs a haka has a unique one). Note the different approaches. Watch from 1:30 to about 2:45. After that, the All Blacks put on a fantastic try-scoring display against Manu Samoa. Enjoy.

Everyone likes to watch great tries, and, over the years the All Blacks have provided some beauties. This video shows a few, featuring quite a bit of Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen. If the video teaches us anything, it is that one of the fundamental skills, the tackle, really needs more work.

This 1994 try from France against the All Blacks is definitely a serious contender for best try ever. Is it better than Gareth Edwards’ 1973 try as a Barbarian against the All Blacks?

The Haka is a traditional war dance challenging opponents performed by the New Zealand All Blacks prior to each international match they play. There is a wee plug for Adidas at the end of this video, too.

The Haka is a traditional war dance performed by the New Zealand All Blacks before each international match. This one is just a little different.
