best games of footy

[reprobate]

someone new to rugby has asked me to point them towards a few games to watch. they want to learn the game and see some good exciting running rugby.
they asked for the most recent game but fucked if i'm sharing our first loss to the irish after over a hundred years as a starting point.
my memory is a bit shit on this, remembering which bledisloe was which etc, but i know some on here are pretty good on years of games etc - anyone got any suggestions?

First half of the Bled this year

[Hooroo]

Liverpool v AC Milan 2005(?) Champions League Final

Oh sorry you meant Rugby!

[Crucial]

It is called 'Rugby Football'

Keep the thread clean from that wendyball nonsense please.

[booboo]

I reckon the RWC Final last year was a cracker. The first 20min was flat out. A couple of good tries and a great end.

Bledisloe 2 at EP last year?

ABs v SA at Ellis Poark in 2013?

[dogmeat]

Championship Final from this year

[Derm McCrum]

Em....

Err......

Ah.....

Irl v NZ 2013 I would recommend.

SA V NZ - same year if I recall correctly.

Wales v Scotland 2010 - brilliant comeback by Wales

Japan v SA RWC 2015

[Stargazer]

This year's Super Rugby final.

1997 All Blacks Australia at Athletic Park

2000 Sydney Bledisloe

For recent stuff, I'd suggest

• Lions Test 3 from 2013
• RWC Knockout last year, particularly the NZ Semi and Final

@Pot-Hale haha probably a bit rough on you mate asking for any good games of rugby, excluding just the one...

@nzzp is that sydney bled the super-fast high scoring one where jonah scored at the end to win it?

[KiwiMurph]

I believe the Bledisloe nzzp is referring to at Athletic Park is 1996 (the 1997 Bledisloe was at Carisbrook I think).

The 2014 Bok ABs game in South Africa was a cracking game - where Messsam''s high shot cost the ABs the match.

@booboo is ellis park the nonu, no boot, dagg winning try game?

Thd one i meant is the super high scoring game reffed by Nige. Beaudy scored a late try to seal it. Boks had to win eith a BP.

Pretty sure that was '13.

[KiwiMurph]

The no boot Nonu, dagg winning try was 2010 - John Smit's 100th game - it was at Soweto not Ellis Park.

That 2013 test in SA was the test where Read was on fire. His physicality was immense and then his running and offload game was superb. One of my favourite test matches of recent years.
