An absolute pleasure watching this Rolls Royce of a player in action. Thanks for this compilatio. Go All Blacks (with props to that Fijian fountain o talent genes!)
Joey's on my all time dream team , apart from Cullen , no one matches the share beauty of watching him run at full pace with those magical dives over the try line when it seems like he's in the air for 5 seconds lol. Love ya Rocket man!.
Thanx "Real Rugby"" for this highlights package of one of the All Blacks' best wingers of all time & who just recently announced his retirement from professional football!!! Appreciate your time & effort with this...
@@davsavchav yeah, had the rocket man on the bench with gear at 14. jesus, imagine taking off rupeni or gear and having the rocket man coming to replace them
smokin joe rokocoko!!! 4 rugby players that really made me want to play Lomu (R.I.P), Spencer, Sivivatu & Rokocoko i'd probably cry if i ever got to meet them
The Rocket man was born to score tries and had classiest try scoring dives ever! 🔥🔥🔥 Must have the highest strike rate against the boks too judging by the highlight reel 😎
Is it me or did Joey equal his tries with the amount of international games he played for All Blacks? Or did he fall q short 🤔 Thank you for the memories Rocket Man 🚀 💯❤
If you notice, he played both left and right wing throughout his international career, not many if any international wingers able to do that and look so comfortable. My winger in any AB team at this time and also my pick for worlds best team
Appreciate the footage is older and the game has changed but I feel its still so vital to have midfielders that can do it all i.e. Mauger/Tana and a back 3 who are hungry i.e. Howlett, Mils and Joe were so active. Shaun Stevenson is literally the only winger that reminds me of Joe. Still need to get the ABs backline sorted, right now its 'too safe'.
It is hard to wear New Zealand jersey number 11 and be great. Rokocoko Muliaina Howlett - No team had such equally great back row. Jason Robinson was better then they were but Ben Cohen and Josh Lewsey were not and this trio of All Blacks was incomparable. Great wing Rokocoko.
best winger at 11 and then the allblacks management change him to right wing to give sivivatu game time. If Joe was retained at his most lethal number 11 then he would have been on a record try scoring spree. then a poor blues team hardly could get the ball to the wingers and Joe said enough
Joe & Howlett on the wings? The opposition might as well go home, still. The game is already over! Not to mention the likes of Umaga and Muliaina feeding dem man constantly. And I spotted the late great Jerry Collins in the highlights too, bursting through like a centre. Unfair New Zealand.....just unfair!
Throwback All Black Legend hard to believe I use to blitz this guy in High School haha jks but not really 😂 fun fact: he hung out with the class clowns 😂
This is just a 25 minute lesson in handling, passing, running lines and unbelievable trust in the skill and awareness of your team mates.
His speed played a big Part
😊
The best winger in his era, him and rupeni defined the true meaning of a fast winger
Don't forget Joeli Vidiri

One of the best wingers to ever play for NZ
Isn’t he fijian
@@viliamenasau9868yup but he played for nz didn’t say he’s from nz
he was born in nz but he's background is Fijian@@viliamenasau9868

Best of all time in my book. All round player, he had everything!
Agreed. Beautiful balance, quick and actually had a brain for the game not just a speed merchant.
early career when he was in his prime he was maybe the best winger the game has seen, 17 trys in his first 11 tests? Insane.
He had it all didn't he? Just a scoring freak. The recycling in that team was simply insane
Imagin him and lomu on each wing😁😁😁
What about at Blues competing with Caucau in 2003 and 2004?
@@davsavchav yeah, had the rocket man on the bench with gear at 14. jesus, imagine taking off rupeni or gear and having the rocket man coming to replace them
Then later on he had 24 tries in his first 16 Matches
Best dive in world rugby
Muliaina is amazing at setting Joe Up what a combo it was!
Smokin Joe one of my all time favourite players so much fun to watch
Best winger ever in my opinion. Had everything, could create, finish, defend... Still can, actually!
@@trenttaiaroa9428 yeah he was a legend but i still think he's overated.
@@sathnidu_athauda nah I think rupeni caucau is the best
@@trenttaiaroa9428 no😃. the goat was caucaunibauca
I agree..this dudes a freak..love 2nd
@@sathnidu_athauda overrated? Shut up man
This man reminded me of a smaller Jona Lomu!!! He managed to score tries even when facing mutiple oppnents - class player!!
His guile, agility and speed belies his power, dude could take a hit- that South African try is evidence. Some unbelievable tries, blues legend 💙
An absolute joy and pleasure in the All blacks. enjoy your retirement
You've earned it
Josevata Rokocoko
My all time fav winger. In his prime their was no denying who the best wing in the world was
If there's an assist stats Muliaina will be number one lol the amount of assistant he had with roko
He was an immaculate link man.
Look at the howlet vid he set up pretty much every trie 😂
Joe was a freak and a pleasure to watch! Also RIP to legends Sione Lauaki and Jerry Collins
smokin joe rokocoko!!! 4 rugby players that really made me want to play Lomu (R.I.P), Spencer, Sivivatu & Rokocoko
i'd probably cry if i ever got to meet them
One of my all time favourite players! He was class on his day. The man made try scoring look stylish!🔥🔥
One of many ab greats (Rokococo)!!!
You can tell by his speed and momentum every time he crosses the line..pure energy
The Rocket man was born to score tries and had classiest try scoring dives ever! 🔥🔥🔥
Must have the highest strike rate against the boks too judging by the highlight reel 😎
Joe Rokocoko definitely one of the Greatest...Legend😎😎😎
Almost forgot how brilliant he was.
Him and Rupeni were my all time wingers
Just watching the amount of times the right winger joins the left side to create an overlap was nice to see.
Watching this in 2019, the WC squad missed backs of the quality of Rokocoko, Mulaina, Howlett and Carter
Due To Selection Criteria. Utility Was Compulsory.
The Blues back in the day were something else
8:24 Dan Carter being ridiculous
4:50 his acceleration is unreal
Like someone just pressed fast forward on the recorder
Unreal man
From a stand still and the pass went behind
His too Fast
How someone can move 105kg across the ground that fast is just something else
Damn the all blacks make rugby fun to watch back then, king carlos, rokocoko, mills, tana, marshall, carter the list goes on.
electricity Joe rokocoko.the Rocket Man the FLYING Joe alright Mean machine 👍 🏉🏉🏉🏉
This mans a bloody legend, what’s he up too nowadays
Retired just, was playing for Racing 92 in France.
Coaching at Racing 92 france
2 guys I feared in all blacks Joe & Mils
To think that for a time..rokocoko caucau spencer howlett and muliaina were in the same team is mindblowing
add on Rico gear
wow that team had some backs....
spencer, carter, maanonu howglet rokocoko muliaina
Auckland Blues 2004/5
mean video bro. rekon you could do one on Dougie Howlett ? chur bowl
It's in the pipeline!
@@RealRugby Rico Gear videos?
Hard running 🏃♂️, big af. Fast.. loved watching him play...

ALL PLAYERS are FOCUS, WORK TOGETHER , and joe is a great great great champion, for me like Mickael jordan
Joe rokokooko was the goat
It is hard to wear New Zealand jersey number 11 and be great. Rokocoko Muliaina Howlett - No team had such equally great back row. Jason Robinson was better then they were but Ben Cohen and Josh Lewsey were not and this trio of All Blacks was incomparable. Great wing Rokocoko.
he is the best...and still doing it in French Rugby Clubs...mean bro.
one of the best
Could you find some old footage of Lome Fa'atau for the hurricanes. And do a vid on him please
Awsome. Fanks for the vid.
Rococoko was a beast
3:02 who else is surprised that wasn't a penalty?
Electrifying! Say no more
The best finisher ever
5:11 starts with Dougie's offload to Marty, ends with Joe💯☝️😤👌🔥🔥🔥
Best all blacks winger..flying joe
12:22 be my favourite try 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome winger!
One the best in rugby.
da black panter YO!!!! AMAZING PLAYER !!
That trademark dive tho lol
Joe "Flying Fijian" Rococoko
1:57 R.I.P Jerry Collins
This is Sevu Reece in his previous life.
you should do one on sitiveni sivivatu and lelia masaga haha they got heaps of mean highlights not on youtube
might be the best winger to play for the all blacks. Love Lomu but Rokocoko scored way more and was more consistent.
6:02 If it wasn't against Wales I'd point out the pass that looked like something Michalak would throw. Oops, too soon?
the heir of Lomu
Lomu-> Rokocoko -> Savea -> Ioane.
Cut these players and AB would be the 5th Home Union...
-> Bridge?
Loved Cory jane in his peak tho
If crack was a rugby player it’s the 🚀MAN
Yeah who can see he broke the matrix... (😃)as he scored...
best winger at 11 and then the allblacks management change him to right wing to give sivivatu game time. If Joe was retained at his most lethal number 11 then he would have been on a record try scoring spree. then a poor blues team hardly could get the ball to the wingers and Joe said enough
Esa version de all blacks era infernal
Joe "neo rokocoko
7:42 Forward pass much?
9:17 Is that one?
11:42 I wonder if all the tries this guy scores is because of a headstart?
6:02 is another one that wasn't Wayne Barnes' fault.
Weymouth boy, yeah south side
James Cook Titoki HARRD 😊
22:10 he skinned Howlett !
Joe & Howlett on the wings? The opposition might as well go home, still. The game is already over! Not to mention the likes of Umaga and Muliaina feeding dem man constantly. And I spotted the late great Jerry Collins in the highlights too, bursting through like a centre. Unfair New Zealand.....just unfair!
👏👏👏👏
Back when the blues team flocked the nz team
I think Rokocoko would look GOOD in a beard. In fact his whole team would look GOOD in beards.
I wonder who was faster.... Lomu or Rocketman.
Joe Roks was the quicker.. Anesi, Gear, Masaga, Roks, Howlett.. Probably the 5 quickest Allblacks of recent times in that order
Rokocoko easy
Jonah only ever ran as fast as he had to
@@ray.shoesmith Agreed, you see some old highlights when he used his speed to go around opposition wingers, they couldnt catch him.
To fast🔥
It's"rokocoko". not rokothoko!
In fiji "c" is pronounced as "th" so its ro-ko-tho-ko
The last time blues won hahahahaha
😔..yup
🖕😂
That blues team is the greatest super 15 team ever
Throwback All Black Legend hard to believe I use to blitz this guy in High School haha jks but not really 😂 fun fact: he hung out with the class clowns 😂
Imagine New Zealand only used New Zealand born players.... Where would they have been if they didn't have the fijians, Samoans and Tonga players.
they have 3 all blacks on the current squad that dont have kiwi or maori blood. and they both can barely make the 23
1st
But Lomu........
