@16MattC I don’t think we concern ourselves over what „other directors of other opening displays“ think?! If we did, then it might not have happened at all. Not everybody appreciates the same things in life so if it was „unspectacular and cringe worthy“ as you call it, that’s your opinion but in New Zealand, we don’t see it like that. We appreciate and are very proud of our diverse heritages and cultures and this was all about showcasing that. Anybody who thinks otherwise are just jealous.
@missownz Who’s laughing you ask? The directors of all other opening displays. Don’t get me wrong, the ideas were fantastic it’s just the way they were enacted. For example the first idea with the bot was clever but the way how it was all in slow motion made it unspectacular and cringe worthy.
@16MattC What seems to be your problem man cos there was nothing wrong with the boy and who’s laughing??
After watching that, I can say that no matter what London does in 2012 or England do in 2015, they will not be the laughing stock. The opening to this with the boy running was cringey.
thumbs up for new zealand
@greyfoxau Nah might have another hiccup with public transportation again. lol
@petry44o Интересный.
@missownz нуу, было бы круто, мюзикл про мечту чувачка.
@petry44o понятия не имею, о чем вы говорите
@Kerokat1213 Not at all, but thanks 4 trying, cheers
@aeropato I think you mean „My Lion“ by Tiki Taane (feat Optimus Gryme)
This is awesome. New Zealand should host the next commonwealth games. Australia hosted it before and their opening ceremony doesn’t even match this, this is far better.
that light effects are crazy as
LOVE LOVE LOVE
@missownz no, no… you know when the maori guys blow the horns and the teams take the field ? That music I mean, it sounds epic, its not World in union… Thks
@aeropato Are you referring to the World in Union song by Hayley Westenra?
@imgonnakillyoo I think that was the whole idea being his own imaginary game so he made the rules?
that try that little dude made was a freaking cheat
Guys can anyone tell me the name of the music that sounds when the teams take the field as the maori guys are blowing the horns ? thanks
песни бы ещё пели!=DD
@Sniffysmyboy yes I know. lol =0)
@missownz It wasn’t when I asked lol
@2wheels4life123 That’s funny consider his Dad was interviewed in response to Jonah Lomu being admitted to hospital after the RWC Opening Ceremony???
@Sniffysmyboy the answer is on the vid itself, as soon as the song plays. Cheers!
@Sniffysmyboy – Heart of a lion by Tiki Taane…i think
@HardyBro3
haha, well spotted
……WAS THAT QUI GON JIN?!?!
great videos love them how do you do it
48 frenchmen are bitter.
@ptiloup44 But to be fair a Frenchmen had 4 minutes earlier tried to remove his eyeball so you will have to forgive him for not speaking so fondly of his opponents, funny the French captain didn’t congratulate the all blacks in his post match speech. But the French could never be bad losers huh
@ptiloup44 most pathetic statement of all time. If they’d been asked about the French they’d have said something. It just shows how little people understand of NZ and rugby when they make a statement like that. You can’t bitch about us being chokers any more so now we’re „bad winners“ never mind the fact that we’ve been losing with grace and aiming to improve after every game for the past 24 years. Grow up
0:47.. Sonny Bill pass:)
@MattyScoots100
You are if you play for New Zealand
@MattyScoots100
where’s the forward pass?
I love rugby and your videos great but your not allowed to pass forward
@ptiloup44 100% agree, love Kiwis but when it comes to rugby they become a bunch of one eyed arseholes.
Europeans behave towards football so most of you people can;t say shit. we always came short and always got ridiculed by other teams and players. It was our turn. get over it!!!
@ptiloup44 Who cares, can you blame Richie when he gets fuckin’ eye gouged by a french player? And when their players are trying to take out Aaron Cruden because he’s small.
The All Blacks Are Regal Champions and we’re fair winners. The reason we (New Zealanders) and the team came across as „in your face“ winners is becaues nobody in that team besides Aaron Cruden have been world Rugby champions before and we as kiwis haven’t won in 24 years its a massive passion in Aotearoa and iv’e seen how
@ptiloup44
I noticed that as well, however in the 76th minute, Rougerie gouged McCaw at the bottom of a ruck
watch?v=68BmgqUi6gY (watch around 0:40)
So I imagine that was the reason for the All Blacks choosing not to mention the French
Kiwi: bad losers, worse winners
There was not one mention of the French in the post-match speeches of Graham Henry or Richie McCaw
/watch?v=1XBqetaCfgo
@shona44 No mate, not at all. I was happy as a rugby fan to see NZ win it in style, congratulations.
@mcnesta80 does it suck to no we beat you now haha =] shame
Mwaaahaha!!!!!!! Hilarious prediction…BUT TRUE!!!!…Congratulations to the Mightiest Team in the World…“THE ALL BLACKS“…Cheers for this classic clip m8.
@tbird2go
cheers mate, enjoy your well earned celebrations
@MaroonPowerRanger
Cheers mate,
Funny story behind the red hair, I’m actually colour blind, so at the time of filming thought it was brown hair :L
Still in hindsight I guess it’s a little tribute to my own red flowing locks…
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! THIS CLIP IS EPIC!
Whats up with richies red hair. great vid mate
well done All Blacks… i wished nz to win this world cup…. congratulations to every one
@dubounce
