Why tiny New Zealand excel in Rugby ?

New Zealanders have a unique style of play that combines power, speed, and skill in a way that keeps their opponents on their toes.
The famous All Blacks haka is a perfect example of this intensity and unity that sets them apart on the field.

See a lot of comments denigrating All Blacks Rugby for no particular reason other than jealousy as near as I can tell, the AB's are not infallible, but often times their opponents know they are in for one hell of a game, stop the whining, the AB's wont lose any sleep over a loss, but they've had, the most success against all other Rugby playing nations on the planet, including Sth Africa.

thanks for the support - a game is beautiful as a game ,skilled players are fantastic, regardless of who and from where ,Pele ,Maradona ,blatini and Kegan made great players and made soccer great ,like wise all black ,South Africa and other countries made the game great ,we shed a light of on going glory doesn't mean others are not great ,all the best to all

[@dulls8475]

Because they have nothing else to do but be an All Black. It is their reason for existence...

i can feel the green of envy from here

It is not tiny New Zeeland. It is New Zeeland and all the South Sea islands incl Fiji. All the islanders best players are migrating and playing their rugby in N Z. South Africa is dominating World rugby. South Africa won the last three World Cups in a row. Not a country who has not even been the runner up in all the World Cup finals.

rubbish - you cant even spell new Zealand properly so your facts about nz are complete rubbish - nz is a south pacific island made up of south pacific islanders - polynesians have been living in nz for decades and rugby players are not migrating to nz to play rugby we have enough of our own we don't need to poach like other nations - there are more kiwis playing in overseas team than any other country including coaches

[@meref9973]

South Africa have 60 plus million people compared to NZ 5.2 million. You should win every game of rugby you played against NZ. Fun fact NZ won more gold medals in Olympics than South Africa. Rugby is not the only sport played in NZ 😂😂😂

[@bodybalanceU2]

nz has the best players - dont need established rugby players from the islands - we grow out own - nz has the highest population of polynesians in the south pacific all home grown

@@meref9973 probably because South Africa was banned from the Olympics for a long time due to apartheid which is a good thing but you’re obviously gonna have more medals if you’ve competed longer💀

[@meref9973]

@@byro4467 I'm talking about recent years. How many years now since South Africa was allowed back into the Olympics?. NZ is a small country punching above their weight when it comes to sports 😂😂.

[@chrissmit6439]

Because referees fear them.
It is changing since team coaches and captains became fedup with it all.
Suddenly they became very average.

[@elguro50]

ha ha nice take , its good that indigenous people have a share and making a difference too

[@archieshaw1976]

They don't dominate. They have only won two world cups. South Africa have won four!

[@elguro50]

all are good - wish all the best

Go read up and learn some actual Rugby history ya muppet. You know not what you say.

[@bodybalanceU2]

abs have won three - counting it seems is not your forte - and only lost the RWC by 1 point and that game could have gone either way - abs still dominate whether you like it or not
