Michael Hooper Tribute - Wallabies' Tackling Machine VS Fiji
After making a tribute about David Pocock and his extraordinary performance at the 2015 RWC, here's a tribute to the Openside Flanker of the Wallabies, Michael Hooper. This video contains only the 22 tackles against Fiji during the RWC (most tackles by any player during that match), a mammoth performance, even though he was equally impressive in attack and the breakdown.
Enjoy!

A tribute to the breakdown master, who plays Openside Flanker and No. 8, David Pocock. His performance during the Rugby World Cup 2015 was outstanding, motivating the entire Wallabies team. Besides his masterful technique in turning the ball over, which stands out the most, he's also mastered controlling the ball at the back of a rolling maul to score tries. A personal inspiration of mine, as I...

Here's a tribute to the awesome All Blacks hooker, Dane Coles. Aside from being an excellent lineout thrower and scrummager, Dane Coles has excellent attacking skills on the wing, side stepping and offloading skills, as well as being a very strong defender.

Here's a tribute to the blindside flanker (no. 6) of the All Blacks, Jerome Kaino. Primarily playing on the blindside and sometimes no. 8, if there's one thing that characterizes this player whether his carrying the ball or tackling, is his strength. Enjoy!

A tribute to the captain of England and former captain of the Harlequins, Chris Robshaw. His incredible work rate, his tackling and handling skills are just few of his qualities that make him one of the great flankers, and players of the sport.

Here's a tribute to the one and only, captain of the All Blacks, wearing the no. 7 jersey, Richie McCaw. His tackling skills, ball carrying and support game are some of his many attributes that inspire so many rugby players out there, including myself. In September 2012 after the All Blacks vs South African Test in Dunedin, current South African coach Heyneke Meyer said that McCaw was 'the grea...

    To be fair, this probably goes for a lot of his team mates around that time, but McCaw certainly seems to have had that "fuck it, do or fucking die" attitude. Redoubtable.

    I do rate pocock more in open play than the man I compare him to.... There is one player I would prefer in the breakdown and that's Peter o mahoney... I always enjoyed watching pocock and hooper play... Was a treat to watch to absolute hero flanker play together

  • @biosensore
    @biosensore 2 роки тому

    Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but you can’t be the goat just by being a great defender and good at the rucks.I know he was a great leader and carried himself very professionally but he was never one of the best ball carriers/skillful flanker.Like guys like Juan Smith were.I’m not saying Juan Smith was a better player than Richie but I just don’t feel like he is the goat.If he would of had the attacking threat as Ardie Savea then yes he would be the goat.I think that was the only aspect of his game where he was not the world’s best at.Unfortunately ball carrying and skill set is what dribbling is to football.Messi is considered the goat of football mostly because of his dribbling and goal scoring ability.In rugby the goat should also be someone who is an attacking spectacle with ball in hand and unfortunately Richie wasn’t.

    He was a good player but not a great player, one dimensional and could not run fast and the AB worked out quickly to run straight at him so he could not steal the ball as he was not agile .
