<p>Still feels awesome and I have watched the full game again countless times on Youtube. It will never get old ....</p> -
The other night I watched the final Barrett try about 20 times. I showed it to some Spaniards and Norwegians, who were in awe of his pace.

<p>With all the retirements, I've been working my way through the games dating back to the 2004 tests vs France, the start of what I consider the greatest era of All Black rugby. I have cheated a couple of times and returned to the Quarter Final and Semi Final from this year just to salve the wounds of watching 2007 but we really have been privileged with so much quality test rugby.</p>

<p>I have watched 2015 once in full. I then watched it again up until Douglas got injured, thought "We're fuct now" and found something else to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I agree about 2011 though and I didn't even have skin in the game - it was a hard game to watch because it looked like the AB team were almost seized up by the moment. Hard to enjoy that when its just pants-shitting relief at the end for the players I reckon.</p> -

i liked the part when the All Blacks won</p></blockquote>
I like the part that despite Kepu's cheap shots on McCaw, we still won. I also like the part that even though Bender was dumb to lift the legs of Mitchell and get binned, we still won. <br><br>
Lastly I also like that even though we played an old washed up McCaw, an out of form and injured Read, a shadow named Kaino, a wet behind the ears loosehead, a left winger that looked overweight and slow, a centre that is skinny and white, a tighthead that was going to "get his beans" against Sio, a hooker that just swans on the wings, and a right wing that throws risky one hand passes and is a one trick pony, [lucky we had Nonu, Aaron and Ben Smith aye]......and we still won. -

Too right. Imagine if we'd fielded a proper team. -

<p>Who???</p> -
Still haven't watched a replay. Don't know why, i have one recorded but even knowing how much of a dominant performance it was i still have the same feeling i had in the week leading up, just before kick off and during that 15min period. Can't imagine what the players must have been feeling.

Funny thing is though. Even the Aussie foxsports guys, kearns, mardo et al. Don't seem as grating anymore. The couple of times ive seen them since they have been pretty good about giving the ABs credit and not carrying on too much. Makes them slightly less painful when you know those legends of AB rugby that retired will never be knocked off that peak.
