I remember watching this as a young teenager. So awesome. Wish they would've shown the conversion and him pulling the fingers to the crowd haha. What a legend.
People need to take off their crusader eye patches and realise this guy was a fantastic 5/8. I'm a crusader till I die but am big enough to give credit to a class player. The conversion of this try added salt to the wound as it denied the crusaders a bonus point. One of the great moments in super rugby!!
....It's September 2023. Your comment, 10 years ago and the Crusaders 7 more championships. Spencer and Matua Parkinson have a show on TV starting tonight, they're in France for the RWC. Funny thing.
King Carlos!!! The best team that year! Sam the hitman Tuitupou, howlett and the rocket man in their prime on the wings man miss that blues spirit! Cmon blues!!!!
Carlos Spencer = an truly amazing individual. His vision on-field was exceptional and revolutionary. King Carlos was a player who was ahead of his time. As the footage shows, Carlos Spencer's wizardry with ball in hand was sublime and an art of unparalleled dominance in the 15 a side game of Rugby Union. Being the master of unpredictability, he often single handedly blasted opposing teams off of the park. He was nothing but pure magic.
Growing up in Auckland, everyone wanted to play like the Blues, especially the way Spencer played. I love his dual with Andrew Merts at the pivots. Both players brought something different to the game. Merts tactical kicking, lethal cut out passes and leadership was a threat to the Blues. Los’ creativity made him unpredictable and entertaining to watch. In 03, I would wish that Merts started at 10 and Los closing it off at second half. That would confuse Eddie Jones as his defensive strategy was designed to shut down Carlos.
Look at this backline: -Devine (AB) -Spencer (AB) -Rokocoko (AB) -Tuitupou (AB) -Gear (AB) -Howlett (AB) -Caucaunibuca (could’ve played in ABs, if he wanted) -Muliaina (AB)
Not that good really: Devine: struggled every game as an AB and was extremely fortunate to be one, lacked physicality. Spencer: overrated made too many mistakes at test level. Rokocoko: Good for a while then lost it. Tuitupou: one test failure. Gear: quite fast but short career, ok finisher but no game changer. Howlett: genuine AB. Caucau overweight and injury prone finisher, low work rate without the ball in hand. Muliaina: genuine classy AB. Conclusion: 2 maybe 3 influential players
@@rogerpattube caucau: overweight Lmao. Um ok, so you're going to use that to say he wasn't an awesome player? I think I recall Mr overweight blazing past everyone and scooping the ball up from the grass with one hand and casually creating a try out of nothing
Iknow die hard saders supporters I've never met any saders fans like old school ones that didn't Rate this blues side every rugby fan can see caucau was one of the best
This was a point in spencers career where he was getting sh1t from coaches and media about his kicking and how he was a useless goal kicker, he said faark you all when he scored in the corner and converted the kick with ease! Also this try and conversion gave the blues a bonus point try and kept there hopes alive for semis and finals. If it was 2003 they went on to win it that year
that 2003 blues squad is a legendary team I mean if you have rokocoko rampaging while playing off the bench, you know you've got a special team. one of the best memories watching them as a kid
remember that i was down in cant, still is the try that gave me the most satisfaction to date, really amazing he sparked it and finished it, your missing the kick, it was amazing.
....It's September 2023. This video, 13 years ago and the Crusaders 7 more championships. Still, the Blues were allowed a moment there, funny thing ! As it happens, Carols Spencer and Matua Parkinson have a show on TV starting tonight, they're in France for the RWC.
@readbenjamin Couldn't agree more. It was brilliant. The Cantabs got all "oooh" over Spencer giving them the "F you", but quite frankly, he'd put up with so much crap from them over the years, I'm glad he got to give some back. I miss Carlos Spencer's brilliance. He is the king.
@ZenonHD1 He walked right into the corner to try and use up the last 30 seconds. The funny thing was the Crusaders were behind by 7, which meant they would get a bonus point if the Blues missed the conversion. The commentators said Carlos was stupid. Then Carlos nailed the kick. Blues win by 9, no bonus point for the Crusaders.
@@rogerpattube watch the video again, marshall was tailing spencer on the inside and had him covered but then gave up when collins threw it back inside to spencer.
That were the days man come home from school kick it with the boys till 7.30 then watch super 14 till 9.30 then play jonah lomu rugby till midnight most nz kids had that same life and if u missed the canes vs blues games u were sick or dead😂
As an Aucklander, nothing gave me more pleasure than this try. It remains the biggest fuck you to the Cantabs since the 35-0 ranfurly shield win in 1995. hahahaha
Yes, I remember the Local Commentators close to calling him a dickhead or simillar for dotting down in the corner and not under the sticks as you would've expected and he cooly nailed the sideline conversion. Arrogance & brilliance all rolled into one. Not bad for a boy originally from Horowhenua! Golden years of the Blues not seen for a long time where it's been all the Crusaders. Maybe 2012 might be a resurgance of the Blues? We shall see...
The biggest shit that Auckland has ever laid on lancaster park/jade/ami stadium, and it smelled beautiful. That corner is now forever known as CARLOS SPENCER'S CORNER!!
Hahahaha muaupoko affiliate and for the young fellas he slotted that kick from out wide too and flipped them the bird after the racist onslaughts from "your typical southerners" he told me hahahaha
all hail king carlos. who tries that in the 79th minute leading by 2 points anyone else would have put it into touch or tried to run time down. denied crusaders a bonus point to of being within 7 lol.
damb why do we always have the best players the reason why we arent as good is because our awesome players get picked to play over seas so players like doug howlett, carlos spencer, rupeni caucaubuca, mils muliaina, luke mccalister, and more since our under 18's are dominating their league hopefully our team will become stronger
Q ask quade cooper who was his fav 1st 5 growing up was....Q who does quade cooper play like..... A ,carlos...cooper hasnt even come close to what carlos done in his rugby life. hasnt caved up the all blacks yet an others, we havent seen the best of him yet tho i will say. tell then cooper not close at all. carlos is 1 of the best ever 1st 5's.. and 1 of the greatest all black 1st 5's ever. like your opinion, thats my opinion. long live KING CARLOS!!
What are you even talking about dude. Trying to find some random racism where it doesn'teven exist. Carlos is well recognised for his talents. He was an amazing player but he was also very inconsistent especially with his goal kicking which is what kept him from first choice selection. Comparing him to Carter is stupid both completely different and Carter has broken every record in the book for fly halves. Stupid comparison and thinking it's to do with race is pathetic

Why did he go to the corner?
@@paraic9163 To run the clock down so there wouldn't be time for a restart.
Because he wanted to rub it into the crusaders fand who hated him.

at 31-29, to do something like that is pure insanity, incredible
one of my all-time favourite moments in sport, flukily i caught this live
That was one of the best times in rugby.
thats just the BIGGEST middle FINGER to Crusaders LMAO Carlos LEGENDARY

that's why he is the king
This isn't a try by Carlos Spencer, this try is Carlos Spencer.

marshall the lazy guy, had spencer covered on the inside and then points to the winger to make the tackle for him.
Wingers are faster than half backs dipshit
Marshall was jogging, he'd given up you dick.

@@davidtaliai996 Yup, Marshall should've got him, Carlos was his man. He just didn't have the wheels
LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!
King Carlos
up by 2 and passing in the 22.crazy!
That were the days man come home from school kick it with the boys till 7.30 then watch super 14 till 9.30 then play jonah lomu rugby till midnight most nz kids had that same life and if u missed the canes vs blues games u were sick or dead😂
Oh.... no conversion? That was the cherry on top
Remember when he passed the ball straight to Stirling Mortlock. What a legend.
LOLOLOLOL
Haha good one. But remember when Carlos hit the conversion following this try and pulled the finger at the crowd. What a legend.
Would've been 100 times more gangster if the conversion was required to win the match for Auckland.
No, you're an idiot. Grow up.
It was needed. The extra 2 points made it so the Crusaders didn't get the bonus point. Which I think denied Crusaders a home semi-final.
@@rain9058 yes you're right
You have to show the kick as well.
CLASSIC
lol still one of my favourite tries hahahahaha
time almost up behind his own posts and throws it. Legend!
what about when he gave the cantabrians the finger?
aahahahahaha...he got the conversion afterwards from the touch line
C.S was the man for the blues and all blacks
never forgotten !!
@0900utube
Not quite. That conversion made it >7 loss for Crusaders - it meant they didn't get a bonus point they needed to play semi final at home.
Great try from a great player. Too bad he could never do it when it counted for the All Blacks.
That's it. Incredible Super Rugby player. Rather average All Black whose incredible talent didn't make the step up to international rugby.
nicee
@hanros98 thats the enigma of Carlos Spencer absolutle brilliant & dangerous "with" risk. But probs bonus point too.
And then he kicked the conversion. All hail King Carlos.
haha yes he did and that conversion also denied the crusaders a bonus point aswell.
As an Aucklander, nothing gave me more pleasure than this try. It remains the biggest fuck you to the Cantabs since the 35-0 ranfurly shield win in 1995. hahahaha
then he nails the kick, fukn legend
@kaicolobread AGREED

turns out it wasnt
2 people that disliked this vid were crusaders fans
2nd greatest flyhalf ever
The biggest shit that Auckland has ever laid on lancaster park/jade/ami stadium, and it smelled beautiful.
That corner is now forever known as CARLOS SPENCER'S CORNER!!
@0900utube no i mean why did he try and run it from his try line when he was only two points up
he had to miss the conversion so the crusaders can get a bonus point........as per usual he always gets the kicks from the corner
u da man spencer...haha
Hahahaha muaupoko affiliate and for the young fellas he slotted that kick from out wide too and flipped them the bird after the racist onslaughts from "your typical southerners" he told me hahahaha
@readbenjamin not only that but the conversion denied the Crusaders a losing bonus point =) this clip doesn't show his fist pump, "up yours"
@hanros98 36-29 score @ 79.31 on the clock, kick probs didnt matter with seconds on the clock
Why did he go to the corner to try ? I'm sure there's a story behind
Year?
should have been howlett's try, but it was so much better this way.
carlos spencer greatest player of all time hehe...they dont breed dem like dat no more......
But if you look at the score the blues had a 2 points lead anyway that try was to seal the deal lolz..
Taylor Nimeti conversion prevented Crusaders getting a 7 points and and under loss bonus point. Lol
Plus any other team would of kicked the ball out and hope defense would hold them out for the last 30sec
You have to understand the Blues-Crusaders rivalry to understand this gesture of arrogance. He even converted the kick from the sideline.
can somenone tell me why he risked this if they were going to win
all hail king carlos. who tries that in the 79th minute leading by 2 points anyone else would have put it into touch or tried to run time down. denied crusaders a bonus point to of being within 7 lol.
damb
why do we always have the best players
the reason why we arent as good is because our awesome players get picked to play over seas
so players like doug howlett, carlos spencer, rupeni caucaubuca, mils muliaina, luke mccalister, and more
since our under 18's are dominating their league
hopefully our team will become stronger
Alwaes have to play the race card-__-

he converted the try anyway. LOL
not really,he was wasting time,30 seconds left and he can take a min 4 the conversion thus ending the game
The Blues desperately need a great number 10 again. Hopefully Anscombe will be that number 10.
how did that prediction go
@@rogerpattube Not well, nor did the parade of other blokes they got to replace him.
And then he kicked the conversion from the corner
What are you even talking about dude. Trying to find some random racism where it doesn'teven exist. Carlos is well recognised for his talents. He was an amazing player but he was also very inconsistent especially with his goal kicking which is what kept him from first choice selection. Comparing him to Carter is stupid both completely different and Carter has broken every record in the book for fly halves. Stupid comparison and thinking it's to do with race is pathetic
Plus Carter didnt throw the intercepted pass that cost the semi final like one no. 10 I can mention.
Pass in the in goal who cares LOL.. No fear
dat ego.
YEPS of haters watch this then even wrote on here.
Justine Marshall not looking too good in that clip.
Back when Rokocoko was actually good, instead of free-loading off his name.
King Carlos
