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.
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!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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. 🏈 😊
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 😎🤟
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🤘🏾🤘🏾😎😎
Rugby is the sport that needs to get waaaay bigger here in the USA. We in the black community already play it as a past time as kids. We used to call it throw up tackle, but if we play with teams we call it throw back tackle, and could only lateral it backwards. some other places called it smear the queer, or kill the guy with the ball.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 🥲
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
Both these squads are total
class acts! Thanks for coming out to the US and putting on such a great exhibition!

@@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.
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
What a special moment for the six new AB's
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!!!
He's right to peg Beauden as a safety. He could catch anyone downfield!
Darry well deserved, from a lifelong Blues supporter
Yeah,he's solid.
Nice guy too! Great seeing him fitting in well with the team.
Geeez! I dont follow rugby but these were some of the toughest, nicest pro athletes I've ever seen.
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

Try NRL. Very similar sport but way more exciting than Rugby.

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 ❤
🤣
You'll be an AB for a long time Sam, you're gifted. Love his game.
Videographers doing a sick job at these player profiles in the game lead ups. Keep em coming 👌🏻
Did Sam dirty on the golf course haha. "Aww that's in the car park"
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 😂
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 !!!!
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" 😂

NEW Zealand Great ambassadors to the world of rugby No Helmets, no pads, just speed & strength
Well one of the best and one of the most exciting and passionate teams
Gracias desde Argentina! 🇦🇷
Love to see it! 🤝
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.
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
Thanks FOX for beautiful presentation. Fijian and Kiwis always amazing to watch - Aussie 🇦🇺👍
Played 7’s is high school back in 2013. I’m happy to see rugby getting more popular in the states.
that post game feeling checking the noti's on the phone must be incredible haha
Good to see new generation of ABs I started watching All Blacks when Ritchie Mccaw was the skipper.
I hope the Americans liked it they're hosting the 2031 world cup
Many Congratz ! To pull on that shirt for the first time .. what a fantastic honour .. Well dissevered
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
Looks like they having a great time. 😊
🇿🇦💚love and respect the all blacks 🇳🇿🖤
Up the AB's ⛳
Very cool moment when the guys met Todd Gurley!
They think San Diego with a steady breeze blowing their shirts is hot? They would die here in Fort Worth.
Love the candid realz no usual script type footage... the ABs speaking normal everyday korero
I’m high and that title threw me off for a second 😂😂😂😂
Fun, well produced/shot/edited video!
That was great, quite emotional ❤
I really want to see All Blacks play football. Seem like lots of fun
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
Did I miss the part where they tried American football.
“Coach”😂😂😂
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.

Good to see Baudy in the USA
When Todd was trying to figure out what Beaduen was. Beuds should have said, "The GOAT"!
The boys look good in American football kits. They could probably play on most NFL teams.
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.
Would love to watch Boks vs AB's in football match😂. Each side gets one day to train then game on next day😂😂
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.

Does this video actually show what it advertises? I saw a few practice sessions, but definitely not a rugby team playing American football.
Warms my heart to see something like this :)
Todd Gurley, nice!
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.
Tosi and Tamaiti are big units 😳
Very impressed with Darry and Sititi DONT see much in Aussie 🤙🤙

San Diego hot? Isn't it like 80⁰s or low 90⁰s at most?
Our typical temperature is 72 degrees! Love it.
American football is just as international as rugby now
😂😂😂😂😂
Looking at some of those swings these fellas have too much downtime.🤣
Lomax and Williams need to get leading that Haka bruv 💯
Ardie was awesome 🤙🤙
Rugby is physical checkers, American football is physical chess.

Playing golf at Torrey Pines 😮
Who dat?? 🤔 lol
When is this game on ?
How cool would it be to see an NFL team do a haka?
It worked for Jordan Mialata, it could work for you too..
Flying Fijians didn't settle in. Hence the advantage to the NZ 15s team.
30 seconds of some out of town athletes messing around with a retired NFL player does not constitute a video with this title!

Darry is a real operator, long term lock stock I reckon.
The All Blacks sounds like a team from Detroit or Gary.
Whats good All Black's! Much love to the ANZAC lineage.
