Bullshit on the moment of the decade.

agree. Couldn't tell you what half the moments were ... but that Elliot 6 into the stands was a sporting experience I'll take to my grave.

Still loved Vettori's cool walk out under pressure. It didn't get on TV, but he wandered out like he was on a garden stroll, just the relaxed calm in a white hot atmosphere. That game was just incredible, a lazarus like comeback for the Caps

In a decade where the ABs broke the RWC losing streak. Twice, first time ever in a row. Won record percentage of games, and recognised even in US sport circles as the most dominant sports team ever - pretty ridiculous they didn't win. Yeah they went down hill from 17-18, but Bond & Muray were on their way out too.

Clear no. 2.

Remember 2011 is part of the decade.

It's too easy to bloc vote on these things.

[Crucial]

I have never ever experienced tension and relief at the levels of that 2011 RWC final and one viewing of that fan video showing the game and crowds on the waterfront is the only evidence required to prove that it was undoubtedly the NZ sporting moment of the decade.

[Bovidae]

Here is the race. The last 500 m are great to watch but it depends on your subjective definition of "moment".

[Toddy]

The Cohen/Sullivan moment would be my NZ sporting moment of the decade followed closely by Elliot's 6.

[dogmeat]

@machpants Bond and Murray - double Olympic Gold, a gazillion world champs and over 70 consecutive wins. Rowing arguably a more global sport than rugby. I don't have any issues with them winning TBH

Sporting moment is the one I have an issue with. Like @nzzp I saw the nominees and immediately thought the Hairy Javelin. Best night ever at Eden Park! (2011 was not enjoyable at all)

That was cool to watch again

[Bovidae]

The fact that Elliott's 6 was in the SF, and not a final, would have counted against it.

[booboo]

You're all rugby hatrzz

[Crucial]

I’m just going to leave this here now...

That was pretty damn cool, but up there with the ABs in 2011? Nowhere near. Particularly when you consider the stress of the semi-final as well and Carter‘s injury, Donald’s redemption story.

Carter's injury
McCaw's injury
Cruden's injury
Piri's injury pre-final...
Slade's injury

Damn, that shit needs a film

ha ha, I haven't bothered to watch it. A low budget 'made for TV' doesn't really qualify. That needs some Invictus treatment, but with better rugby in it

Bullshit on the moment of the decade.

Shows how crap public voting is.

as a pure moment, the All Whites scoring to put them in to the world Cup, or Grant Elliot hitting that 6 will stand out pretty much forever.
