Is this the most EPIC stadium the All Blacks have played at?
No!
It’s the history of
1/ Getting The All Blacks to play on American soil.
2/ To welcome America to The game of rugby.
3/ To enjoy having the game of Rugby bring thousands of people together for a brand new sports in America for the very first time.
No Soweto Stadium in South Africa. 95 thousand people
Twickenham says hold my beer
@@Wolf-hh4rvalso Alice park , Loftus, similar crowds, abs v Aus at the MCG 110 000 people, stadium Australia v the allblacks, again 110 000 people , where ever the allblacks play pretty much they draw the big crowds
In terms of exposing rugby more perhaps, but you got stadiums such as the MCG, stadium Australia, where playing the Aussies set world record crowds of 100 000 + , Cardiff arms park, Twickenham, Murrayfield, Landsdowne Rd, when the allblacks play their always sellouts and the atmosphere seems to be awesome. Basically anywhere in the world the allblacks play they are always a draw card.
I was at that game. The Americans around me knew little about the game but enjoyed themselves immensely, and I was happy to be able to explain the rules
I was there too, there were thousands of current and former club players from across the country that day.
Just a small correction rugby union has laws not rules
I think it’s great AllBlacks helping to open up new countries to rugby both as players and fans
It’s a payoff for a vote to hold the RWC in NZ. It’s why they played in Japan.
What an understatement. On my first visit to the USA 50 years ago I watched a tv showing a packed American football stadium busy doing American hype. In the background outside the stadium one could see a rugby game with 30 players and about 30 spectators. There’s nothing new about rugby in America that NZ can bring. Your sevens, since it became an Olympic sport, are world class. It’s America itself that holds 15 person rugby back.
Since watching rugby from the age of 7. Their passionate style always shows heights in this sport.Losing or winning
Good watching theses old games😊 great to see the US in rugby😊 now in 2024 they are still competing slowly but surely improving😮 5yrs could be a force to be reckoned with😊the US big country heaps athletes😊 reckon with their heads down bums up they'd be awesome😊
This is almost a decade ago, time flies. I think NZ, and the USA only played each other once, prior to this, at the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
Crazy it is almost 10 years!
Half the people in that stadium didnt even know what rugby was...after my visit there last year they still dont know they have a national team and this is the country hosting the world cup after Austrailia??? A joke
You may be right but we will see. Brett Gosper was as nervous as hell about Japan, That tournament to me stood out as one of the best.
Money talks, as usual. USA also co-hosting 2024 T20 cricket World Cup. Another joke.
Why is it a joke?
It’s like every other World Cup.
With the way the world economy is going every country to apply to host any World Cup should be welcome and it also makes the entire world a very small place for the game of Rugby!
One way you need to look at a country like USA playing and competing is which ever the league or union they decide to join USA will bring more financial help to the game as well!
@@user-mangeremountainmagpie That is exactly right. It was astounding that they packed so many in to enjoy what they all knew, was going to a game that the All blacks would win.
It was a great exhibition and the crowd got to see a clinical and sometimes Flamboyant game of Rugby. We saw a similar thing when the Maori All blacks faced off against the U.S, and that was a mouth watering encounter. Not to mention Japan who hosted ( and competed in) a fabulous World Cup, to my mind it was just awesome.
Will the U.S produce some similar results as Japan? I would have to see it to believe it, but when I think about it, I0 years ago I would not have expected to be citing Japan as a such a positive case.
Clearly though, the game of Rugby Union has supporters in more places than we usually expect.
Namaste.
Game starts at 2:35
Rugby before tech took over the umpiring. Those epics have long gone thanks to the mighty dollar.
they need to take the rwc to USA/Canada/South America = +new supporters
America can host a world cup it has stadiums and is well organised other countries are not as fortunate.
South America?! You think people don't know rugby in South America?! :)))))
à gagner sans mérite on gagne sans gloire.
Pire que France-Angleterre (53-10) en 2023 au Six Nation xD
This was an exhibition match to appease sponsor AIG. There will be more meaningless games like this one for the All Blacks, and they'll risk player injury and deterioration of their brand just so they can scrape as many dollars as they can for Silver Lake.
On the opposite side of this, this was one of the matches that helped to spark the presence of rugby here in the US, especially in getting the MLR started up here. So what one may think is meaningless to one side is meaningful to another.
@@athlonenwell said. A wonderful opportunity to PROMOTE RUGBY in a country where rugby is not widely played. A chance for ex pats to see the All Blacks to play live again and to showcase why the All Blacks are the best at what they do.
@@prr7209 exactly. If I remember correctly, Ma’a Nonu was in the AB side for this match; this may have been one of the reasons he committed to playing for San Diego in the MLR here.
This was a test match
@@prr7209Hate to tell you but rugby union is the fastest growing sport in the USA
