John Eales penalty kick vs New Zealand in 2000.

[@theartofselfanalysis7600]

John Eales, the man they call nobody. . . because nobody's perfect !

[@npd6225]

Watching this in 2020. You gotta love the Kiwi Commentators. Fair and honest.

[@TheNWaite]

Love that the crowd ignores all modicum of courtesy and are going off like cheap Chinese firecrackers as he steps in to kick and one of the AB forwards is moving about to distract him and yet...HE STILL LANDS THE KICK. Super legend.

[@marksheehan8026]

Very typical of kiwi crowds

[@russoswerve3974]

‘Modicum of courtesy’ bullshit. Any passionate home crowd would be trying to put him off especially when the series is on the line like that

[@hanoitripper1809]

Russo Swerve u were in the crowd

[@kingkinkladze7352]

This isn't tiddlywinks mate, there's a Bledisloe Cup on the line between two bitter rivals

[@archvermin]

"His kick has retained the Bledisloe Cup!"
Once upon a time, the Wallabies were capable of that...

When rugby was better

[@pauliejay4161]

This was an incredible series.

[@EllliotJack1]

a welsh second row was a great kicker in the 70s

[@Madforrugby99]

@EllliotJack1 Great player was John Eales but what kick under that sort of pressure, what Welsh player was this?

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

Was "injury time" different back then? Why would the game not be over after going out 83 minutes in?

[@DamienE11]

Ruby Doobie They didn't stop the clock on the tv or big screen when the ref called time off back then. It wasn't long after that that they changed it to the current format.

[@EllliotJack1]

@Madforrugby99 dunno his name but i saw him kicking penalties instead of Phil Bennett or Fenwick

[@huwsilk]

John Taylor

[@chittsy99]

Alan Martin.

[@MrAMYJACK]

We haven't been close to the AB's since

[@mmmm-jr4dr]

MrAMYJACK Well actually Australia won the bledisloe in 01 and 02

[@Romans8-9]

@@mmmm-jr4dr Think he means since early 2000s. Since most of the 2000 team was still playing for Australia in 01 and 02.

[@Hamsterman691]

This was awful...especially when Kefu scored the winner the next year and someone else the year after. Fortunately the ABs don't lose too many games to Australia these days.

[@Romans8-9]

That Aus team was one of the greatest of all time.
