Why is this considered the best rugby game ever played?

There were a lot of very pretty trys in that game, with the Wallabies making a game of it after digging themselves into a big whole in the first half. Certain trolls who consider Union dull really ought to have a look at that footage. Rugby as it should be! No endless cycles of "five downs and a kick."

Yeah it looked quite a good match. Lots of tries so I can see why people thought it was the best game ever, especially considering the sides playing. Is that Stirling Mortlock with hair on the right wing?

Because it was! Great, great game. It was just packed with superstars, super moments and awesome rugby. Really shows why league is a poor second to the real game right Jalan? Even you have to admit league has nothing to compare with this match. It's easy to think of Jonah as this locomotive who just ran people over down the side lines, and forget the fantastic ball skills he had. That offload for the second try at 0.37 - sublime. Oh and I think Eales was obstructing at 2.05. EDIT BTW - the comments section on Youtube is possibly the single greatest argument against freedom of speech you can make.

Great tries and great come back. The crowd went crazy. Love the noise.
