I'm an American and I started watching NZ rugby a little over a year ago with the end of the Super season and then followed the ABs thru the summer and into the World Cup. I watched all of this years Super season. I am glad they came to America (Next time maybe Chicago for us mid-westerners). I would have loved to see them but San Diego was a bit far for us. I am hooked on NZ rugby. Go All Blacks!!
I saw the All-Blacks play in the Rugby WC in Japan. It was my first rugby match. Seeing them play up close was awesome. I got to see Fiji, Australia, and England, too. There needs to be more tours like this in the US. As you can see from the crowd, Americans will show up to watch it.
You should give rugby league a watch as well, great pace like union with a slightly different structure. I thoroughly enjoy playing and watching both codes/games. The NRL is starting their season in Vegas in early March next year
Brother and no disrespect to Fiji but that game was a minor compared to playing other countries and yes definitely give rugby league a watch too. Much more exciting and I suggest watching the nrl if you do watch some league
Very proud of our All Black's win or lose. It's GREAT to see Pasilio Tosi in the All Black's and to see him on GOOD MORNING San Diego. My son Nathaniel Payton played Rugby with and againest Pasilio as a young player. He was such a gentle giant even as a young Rugby player. Our AB's are such humble men who wear the jersey with pride. 🏉 I would love to see the All Black's team play Grid Iron against an American team and vice versa the American Grid Iron team playing Rugby againest us. 🏈 😊
As a University of South Carolina fan we had to face Todd Gurey who played for our cross-border rival Georgia every season and he was an absolute beast. The fact that all three of the AB's look bigger or at least the same size as Gurley is impressive.
As a South African I have huge respect for NZ and Fiji and I love Tonga-rugby. Very nice video to see the human side of players, which one usually only see as opposition. Hope America does well with their rugby in the coming years as they are the hosts in 2031.
This was so fun to watch and I love the way you showed my hometown San Diego. I had to work that night but man I would’ve love to have been there to support the All Blacks
From Chicago. Never played rugby and neither have my friends or people I know, but one thing I can say is that 95 percent of the people I know also know of The All Blacks.
Rugby is an endurance sport. Constant running means less intense hits and tackles. Gridiron is an explosive sport, which means less activity, but you put everything into every single tackle and every single play.
If the NFL team suited up to play a game of rugby, the All Blacks would destroy the NFL team. If the All Blacks suited up to play an NFL football game, the NFL team would destroy them.
I forget how prized Los Angeles and San Diego are to foreigners. Especially growing up in Miami another popular one, many see like something glorious, wonder what catches their eye.
I wish there was a Walter Camp American Football league. The All Blacks would be great at original gridiron football. No passing, but separated 'scrimmage' line spaces, blocking schemes and the system of downs remains.
You guys should come to Jacksonville sometime - our Axemen team would appreciate the visit😊 Besides, seeing the famous All-Blacks up-close would damn well be one of the coolest experiences ever🤘🏾🤘🏾😎😎
Very cool. I do like rugby they have an adult league in Maine. I wish they televised it more here. I thought about playing. I thought I was too old tho 😎🤟
The one team in the world that shows us how white and black, brown, yellow and green people get along. Our All Blacks are great advocates for racial peace. I really love our guys that shows the harmony within the team both on and off the field. I am just one of 5 million that is proud for our little country and how far we have come together. Lets not lose that. We are unique in this world. Kia kaha Aotearoa ☺
You are right to be proud. I would say that your sentiments can be applied to almost All International Rugby Teams. I'm a Brit, and I felt proud. of both teams highlighting the greatest of sports. Rugby is just special on so many levels.
Y'all should come play American football with the Trinity Trojans in Euless, Texas, home of a massive (7k!) Tongan population - the largest outside of Tonga, some claim. That would be so fun.
Im a bit sad but that image at the beginning of the plane landing isnt even in San Diego, or on the same continent. Thats a Wizz Air aircraft based in Europe 😂. Ones in the background look live Level was/is part of the IAG group
30 seconds of some out of town athletes messing around with a retired NFL player does not constitute a video with this title! I haven't seen a video mislabeled this badly since Mr. Beast.
So pleased the powers that be have the United States hosting the RWC in 2031 think about that for a mo its gonna go off as each RWC just gets better and better and for every Nation involved including their diehard fans the intensity is Next Level
I can tell you right now as an American I've always appreciated rugby it is far far far far far far better than soccer sorry (Futbol) 😅. America should definitely start to adapt to this type of sport I would see Americans having a better chance creating a team and destroying other nations across the world rather than trying to put a soccer team together cuz nobody likes or play soccer around here lol All-American rugby team part of the league yeah America has the MLR but I want to see a team put together and go around the world and play the other rugby teams during their regular season
I'd love to see it but the advantage soccer has in the USA over rugby is lots of kids play it. No way American parents will let their kids play contact rugby, imagine the lawsuits.
I like watching both Football and Rugby. I think Rugby is a more constant grueling sport with more rough contact than Football... But the contract in football is way worse. No rugby player would want to run center field and get hit by John Lynch, or try to stop Marshawn Lynch for instance.
To those who are looking at the comments wondering when they play football: they don't, stop wasting your time and make sure to leave a dislike for the outright lie
Knowing alot about the NFL and NZ Rugby, NFL players couldn't last 5 minutes on a rugby pitch to be fair. There's so much downtime in an NFL game. People may not realize this, but only 11 minutes of an NFL game are the players actually moving and the offense and defense rests. So maybe the offensive player is running 5 minutes per game at most and they have many subs for players.. Compare that to at constant offense and defense of a rugby player.
If only there was a NFL team in San Diego that could have hosted this squad….
😗😗😗😗😗😗
Hahahaha
Don’t remind me.
You got Allen and Austin still right?
Yeah when I saw the Rams stuff I was like 🥲
Both these squads are total
class acts! Thanks for coming out to the US and putting on such a great exhibition!
There is something so very classy and dignified about the AB’s
it's that old world masculinity which was deemed to boring by american viewers
@@attysthoughts3253 no it’s not. Far from it.
I hope they continue to clean up the sheds after each match. Stay humble. Great team culture
You’ve clearly never listened to what they say mid game
My first rugby match was this one and I had a blast!!! Looking forward to the next one no matter where it is. My Heart is Black!!!

@@AllBlackshook the brother up guys
Honestly NFL now smh to many rules, seems scripted, and fixed. Go back to the old.
have you had a peep at the black ferns, the women's team? they're just as incredible, and won the olympics both this year and in 2021, they are class.
@@byronwilliams8589 and compared to Rugby, too slow. Run a play call time out for TV, wait 5 minutes, run another play.
Geeez! I dont follow rugby but these were some of the toughest, nicest pro athletes I've ever seen.
I saw the All-Blacks play in the Rugby WC in Japan. It was my first rugby match. Seeing them play up close was awesome. I got to see Fiji, Australia, and England, too. There needs to be more tours like this in the US. As you can see from the crowd, Americans will show up to watch it.
What a special moment for the six new AB's
As a California native I’m extremely excited that Rugby is here!
The Legion is the local MLR team in San Diego.
Rugby has been played at IVY schools for decades.
@@ThePerpetualStudent Good for them.
@@cindy6787good grief.
Funny: in early 1900 California was the backbone of 🇺🇸 rugby. Won two medals at the Olympics. Against France
You'll be an AB for a long time Sam, you're gifted. Love his game.
Yank here! Had more fun at ABs v Fiji than any American football game. Still like American football but rugby is another level!
You should give rugby league a watch as well, great pace like union with a slightly different structure. I thoroughly enjoy playing and watching both codes/games.
The NRL is starting their season in Vegas in early March next year
@@izzy031096 near impossible to watch in the USA. NRL and Superleague are not broadcast here. Rugby union is
Brother and no disrespect to Fiji but that game was a minor compared to playing other countries and yes definitely give rugby league a watch too. Much more exciting and I suggest watching the nrl if you do watch some league
Try NRL. Very similar sport but way more exciting than Rugby.
@@markspiteriy NRL isn't broadcast anywhere in USA.
He's right to peg Beauden as a safety. He could catch anyone downfield!
Very proud of our All Black's win or lose. It's GREAT to see Pasilio Tosi in the All Black's and to see him on GOOD MORNING San Diego. My son Nathaniel Payton played Rugby with and againest Pasilio as a young player. He was such a gentle giant even as a young Rugby player. Our AB's are such humble men who wear the jersey with pride. 🏉 I would love to see the All Black's team play Grid Iron against an American team and vice versa the American Grid Iron team playing Rugby againest us. 🏈 😊
Videographers doing a sick job at these player profiles in the game lead ups. Keep em coming 👌🏻
"Why does everyone come to me for sunblock?" - Finlay 'daywalker' Christie 🧑🏻🦰🤣
Daywalker 😂🤣
ummmm is it just me or did the rugby guys NOT play American football? I mean that is what the title says.... thats kind of what I expected to see.
You must be new to UA-cam...
the youtube term is called ClickBait
To be fair it said "try" not play...guess they "failed" 😂
As a University of South Carolina fan we had to face Todd Gurey who played for our cross-border rival Georgia every season and he was an absolute beast. The fact that all three of the AB's look bigger or at least the same size as Gurley is impressive.
this was awesome...more content like this please !!!!

Darry well deserved, from a lifelong Blues supporter
Yeah,he's solid.
Nice guy too! Great seeing him fitting in well with the team.
Did Sam dirty on the golf course haha. "Aww that's in the car park"
The ABs have had so many great Fijian players over the years.
So what?
@@gtestastretta1 so what? So what? So what? So what? So what”
Cause they black@@hankgoldenshaft
AB’s is the best team in the Pacific, we are blessed with talented players from the Pacific ❤
🤣
Anyone else catch an all black reference to Anchorman? One of them says about the media "i was disappointed when it wasnt the channel 4 news crew"
That's gold ghee 😂
Well one of the best and one of the most exciting and passionate teams
Rugby is the best sport in the world to play. I wish rugby was more popular in america.
I have no idea about rugby but whenever I watch a game I think to myself, this is a sport that makes boys to men. A hard, tough manly man's sport.
Nah football is.
@@alia7960 Rugby World : Yeah, only for USA 😁😁
@@GomerMcintyre Lol, nobody cares about American football. Football ⚽️ rules the world.
I agree I played D1 in college and truly miss it
This was so fun to watch and I love the way you showed my hometown San Diego. I had to work that night but man I would’ve love to have been there to support the All Blacks
Gracias desde Argentina! 🇦🇷
Played 7’s is high school back in 2013. I’m happy to see rugby getting more popular in the states.
I wish I knew about this event before it happened. I'm San Dieagian born and raised. This would have been fun to see live.
Good to see new generation of ABs I started watching All Blacks when Ritchie Mccaw was the skipper.
From Chicago. Never played rugby and neither have my friends or people I know, but one thing I can say is that 95 percent of the people I know also know of The All Blacks.
Looks like they having a great time. 😊
that post game feeling checking the noti's on the phone must be incredible haha
Thanks FOX for beautiful presentation. Fijian and Kiwis always amazing to watch - Aussie 🇦🇺👍
Love to see it! 🤝
Love the candid realz no usual script type footage... the ABs speaking normal everyday korero
Many Congratz ! To pull on that shirt for the first time .. what a fantastic honour .. Well dissevered
They think San Diego with a steady breeze blowing their shirts is hot? They would die here in Fort Worth.
I really want to see All Blacks play football. Seem like lots of fun
Did I miss the part where they tried American football.
Rugby is an endurance sport. Constant running means less intense hits and tackles. Gridiron is an explosive sport, which means less activity, but you put everything into every single tackle and every single play.
I feel like you guys would be great at American football. There is alot of similarities between Football and Rugby. I played both myself. I loved it.
That was great, quite emotional ❤
Very cool moment when the guys met Todd Gurley!
If the all blacks suited up and played against an nfl team...that would be great...the sound of the hits when they collide would be crazy...
If the NFL team suited up to play a game of rugby, the All Blacks would destroy the NFL team.
If the All Blacks suited up to play an NFL football game, the NFL team would destroy them.
The boys look good in American football kits. They could probably play on most NFL teams.
I forget how prized Los Angeles and San Diego are to foreigners. Especially growing up in Miami another popular one, many see like something glorious, wonder what catches their eye.
Up the AB's ⛳
When Todd was trying to figure out what Beaduen was. Beuds should have said, "The GOAT"!
Fun, well produced/shot/edited video!
Would love to watch Boks vs AB's in football match😂. Each side gets one day to train then game on next day😂😂
I wish there was a Walter Camp American Football league. The All Blacks would be great at original gridiron football. No passing, but separated 'scrimmage' line spaces, blocking schemes and the system of downs remains.
We love you so muche, that it is difficult for us when you meet France. Ours Heart Beats for our team but part of this Heart belongs to you
Respect nz
You guys should come to Jacksonville sometime - our Axemen team would appreciate the visit😊
Besides, seeing the famous All-Blacks up-close would damn well be one of the coolest experiences ever🤘🏾🤘🏾😎😎
I hope the Americans liked it they're hosting the 2031 world cup
Very impressed with Darry and Sititi DONT see much in Aussie 🤙🤙
Very cool. I do like rugby they have an adult league in Maine. I wish they televised it more here. I thought about playing. I thought I was too old tho 😎🤟
The one team in the world that shows us how white and black, brown, yellow and green people get along. Our All Blacks are great advocates for racial peace.

I agree with you but will say they aren’t the only one team, the Boks are the same
@@Bogey_king Even Australia, both teams that lined up today were very diverse.
You are right to be proud.
I would say that your sentiments can be applied to almost All International Rugby Teams.
I'm a Brit, and I felt proud. of both teams highlighting the greatest of sports.
Rugby is just special on so many levels.
You're not unique. Lol.
Good to see Baudy in the USA
Lomax and Williams need to get leading that Haka bruv 💯
Ardie was awesome 🤙🤙
Looking at some of those swings these fellas have too much downtime.🤣
Warms my heart to see something like this :)
Cool video and a great turn out.
Y'all should come play American football with the Trinity Trojans in Euless, Texas, home of a massive (7k!) Tongan population - the largest outside of Tonga, some claim. That would be so fun.
Todd Gurley, nice!
Does this video actually show what it advertises? I saw a few practice sessions, but definitely not a rugby team playing American football.
Way to go on the clickbait. I wanted to see these guys get rocked
Tosi and Tamaiti are big units 😳
Playing golf at Torrey Pines 😮
Who dat?? 🤔 lol
"we'll just pass you the ball bro"

San Diego hot? Isn't it like 80⁰s or low 90⁰s at most?
Our typical temperature is 72 degrees! Love it.
Flying Fijians didn't settle in. Hence the advantage to the NZ 15s team.
To those who are looking at the comments wondering when they play football: they don't, stop wasting your time and make sure to leave a dislike for the outright lie
Darry is a real operator, long term lock stock I reckon.
Two of the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It worked for Jordan Mialata, it could work for you too..
How cool would it be to see an NFL team do a haka?
The All Blacks sounds like a team from Detroit or Gary.

But the American Football players cross over frequently. So that kind of defeats your argument mate
@@jimthemackjohnson1488 look at running stats for each game, I think you'll appreciate that it is you who's argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
@@shaun1900 Judging the intelligence of your reading comprehension I assume you're an American.
But the explosiveness and technical abilities of NFL players will make them DANGEROUS once they've adapted to the rules and gameplay.
Most nfl players are 6,5 250 they could do all the running they just train differently
When is this game on ?
More videos like this
5:05 Barret would be the kicker
He'd be the fastest damn kicker in the NFL, that's for sure.
ABs you are the marvelous ! I'm a french fan !
Whats good All Black's! Much love to the ANZAC lineage.
We don't come close to dangerous animals compared to Australia or NZ...just maybe our homeless.
Razer subtitles essential
SHOTT BOYS.
After the Argentina game they should try playing actual union 😢
Rugby player's are more bigger and stronger than nfl player's
Nice video, nice guys, but misleading title. I can try about as much NFL visiting a sporting goods store.
Would look better in dolphins oufit😂
Translation please, the Canadian accent is impossible to understand.
up the new guys. chur
