In 1995, the All Blacks beat Japan 145-17 in South Africa. But they did lose the record for the longest test rugby match. It was quite a bizarre match, with many unusual penalties and a bizarre substitution. It lasted 30.5 hours, which is a world record. The game raised over PS50,000 for charity.
A 'School of Hard Knocks' match was held to raise awareness of this charity. There were many amazing and strange things that took place. It was almost as bizarre as the substitutions made and the attempt that came at the final.
England's team had to leave for Cape Town with short notice. As a result, they were not able to change their flight plans. Barnes later admitted to them that they were unable go to the sticks. He said the decision was tactical, though he did not like the way it was made.
France started the match with an aggressive attack. They were getting more bite from their scrums. After five minutes, they scored a try. Camille Lopez converted. This was not a brilliant try. But it was enough to set a tone.
Wales' scrums also got more bite. Despite playing the first few quarters with a goalline stand, Wales were eventually beaten. Virimi Vakatawa's flapping arm prevented Dan Biggar from completing a pass. The Welsh were also stopped by Alex Callender getting a yellow for flapping his arm.
Wales made a bizarre substitution by swapping their starting prop with their second row. This was done more to save money rather than to win the game. Halfpenny and Samson Lee were replaced as the clock ticked down.
Peter Barnes, the referee, had to deal some unusual penalties when he assumed his post. In reality, there were many more penalties than attempted. Some of them were quite controversial.
Dan Carter, who was a flyhalf for New Zealand at the age 21 and is considered one of history's greatest fly-halves, was an example of this. He is a veteran international player who has played in 100 All Blacks matches, including a treble win against Wales.
Carter's record-breaking performance wasn't what had the greatest impact on this match. France threatened Wales in the first minute. The big red wall that was blocking their way did not come down. Instead, they couldn't create enough chances for a try.
England had a better opening, however. Maro Itoje was Maro's player with the most rucks. He had 66 rucks which was more than any player in the match. He had 66 rucks, which was more than Julian Savea's record (86), but it was still enough.
It was also worth noting Grant Fox was always the player with the highest number of points in a tournament. He scored 45 points in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Meanwhile, Marc Ellis scored six tries. Damien Chouly was the longest try to beat Canada in tournament history.
It didn't matter which team won, it was an interesting and unexpected match. The All Blacks have the highest international success rate and have a positive ratio of win to loss against all their opponents.
