What a fantastic bloke, savage on the field, gentleman off the field
As a Springbok Supporter I gained huge respect for this Man on the Lions Tour to SA. Regardless of his Star ability - his attitude and humility is something to be admired. He also plays the Game with a sense of Urgency which is rarely seen on the Field - Big Fan here.
What a nice boy he is. Must make his parents very happy.
Good point: African/Nigerian making all Africans everywhere proud.
Negative point: English rugby player…
Go Springboks!
Ja, go Bokke !!!
That's not a negative point, it's just YOUR opinion
You must be a black African with a silly comment like that. If we whites said that about a nice young Afrikaans dude you’d be rioting by now
@@Bokgat you're a tosser mate, and you liked your own comment😂😂😂what a joke
@@nathanjena8749 another golly w crawls out of another hole.
As a South African, I claim to be a lock expert. Itoje is class!
He would be an even better loose forward. But England doesn't have adequate lock cover without him.
@@nicholasvanlierde2546 nah its better to have itoje at 2nds but still playing like hes a flank, same with Lawes, they pretty much have 4 flanks on the field
Nina niyaphapha. Lock expert yaphi? Lock experts must go lock out the looters in KZN. “ITOJE IS CLASS” kowenu kwedin 😒😒
Aniyazi indawo ethengisa eziTV ziLOOTiweyo?
Ndisuka eMonti…azikho pha. I’d drive to Durban but they’ll loot me & my car and I didn’t pay Holland this month.
A springlock 🤗😉
@@kingsleyoppong-wereko7239 lmao, your scrum cap is too tight Gwedini :P
The greatest lock ever to come out of Nigeria
He's English
The only one 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, living in SA, where half the bouncers here dealing with drunk boets of all sizes are Nigerian, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot more hidden giant lock gems in Nigeria. There are some big tough guys from that country.
@@Chaosfromthedemon west Africans*
@@rugby_crusader he’s not. He is dark green. Now all the light greens come to the front of the bus and the rest of you, go to the back
great bloke - hope he does well in South Africa, though Springboks all the way!
Horrible so far, actually cringe
As a South African, condolences on the outcome of the tour...
Maro is a great rugby player and clearly has intelligence and charisma to match. I wish him all the best for the future, both as a rugby player and particularly in his life post rugby where he is destined to make a difference for the good.
As a South African, Itoje and Dupont are my favourite players in the North currently
100% - fellow SA
Maro Itoje is one of the best locks in the world right now! Enjoyed watching him play for the Lions!
I never knew he was such a humble dude (us Bok fans think of the world cup final medal ceremony), respect from South Africa. Beast of a lock!
As All Black fan, this guy is growing on me. Absolute competitor, skillful, & DTE. Nah he's an awesome dude.
I will never forget his performance against the all blacks 2019 especially when he took that ball from a rolling maul from aoron smith and a Smith was looking like a baby. His big hits. I believed that he wrote his name as one of the best. I respect the Man
Yeah, he had a blinder in the semi against the ABs. No two ways about that.
the all blacks definitely took him too lightly.. next time I think they would make him commit to takles instead of being able to be around the breakdown and have people for the sole purpose of clearing him out.
Eish whenever i see him i wish he was playing for the Bokkes. We would adopt him any day
Absolutely fantastic interview! Well done, Jim, for getting him on.
What a lovely dude. As a South African I had no idea. Hope he has a great time down here in SA for the Lions tour.
Look at you!!! We have a lot in common.
Haa haa. He actually dresses like you.
Can't wait to see him and Eben together in barbarians jerseys VS the all blacks, that would be epic!!!
Ah yes great shout. I love seeing star studded Barbarian sides, especially when 'dream combinations'are put together.
I remember as a kid once watching a back row of Jerry Collins, Richie McCaw, and Schalk Burger against Australia. That was PlayStation game stuff.
Eben and Maro would actually make a really good lock partnership I'm sure.
Seems like a super chill dude
Respect.I concede as a true blue Springbok supporter by blood that Maroe is the best lock in world rugby currently.
You’re not even South African what are you talking about
You not South Africa dude.Eben is the main man ✊mzansi fo sho
@@user-tl2cs6wv8b In his defense have you seen Etzebeth size and packs men? Have you seen how it takes whole teams to wrestle him?
@@user-tl2cs6wv8bRG Snyman ? 😮 No Itoje is far better and i support Bokke
What a humble dude. Love his story.
Lovely bloke. I'm South African and a strong Springbok supporter, but I like this chap. I think he'll captain England and the Lions one day. I am happy to see that he embraces his Nigerian roots.
We had a great series. It was nice seeing him here. He'll sure not forget South Africa.
Much love to Maro
Naija to the world
Itoje is a top class rugby player one of The best
Seems such a lovely chap, proper cool guy ! With all four first choice springbok locks hopefully fit and firing he’s gonna have his hands full here in SA.. we can’t wait!
Agreed, nice vibe around him. Quite a lot of humility but quiet confidence. I rate him in the Top 5 of locks currently. Picking a world 15 I'd have him and Etsebeth locking together to start, with Whitelock and Snyman as reserves.
@@tobyhart8515 Mostert?
@@HenryDube72 ya he is a monster workhorse. So I'm happy with that.
@@tobyhart8515 interesting picks, I must agree with you. Mostert is good, but not a top pick.
@etienne greyling, how 1 week can change everything. Lood, Eben and RG all out at present.
Seems like a great guy
Im so happy this young Man is in the England team .Amazing rugby player .
Off the field he’s a gentleman but a beast when he’s on it.
Great Player HOPE u Visit South Africa Again soon.Goodluck to ur Future Rugby Career.
As an opponent I desipe Maro I want the Boks to give him a bloody nose all the time. Great player, Im happy he embraces his African roots. He was great this last lions tour.
Maro, have a blast in South Africa, ok.
I think its quite interesting how he's always looking down or on the picture and not in the face of the interviewer
Well spoken
Itoje is too nice - cool dude.
Speaks so well
As a springbok fan I have to say I appreciate Maro's humility and humanity and he's got style
little did he know a a little under a week later eben would have his hands around his neck
Lol
Great interview 🇿🇦🌍🙏🏼🏆🏴
🇳🇬🌍
POWER TO THE TALENTED!!!LOVE FROM SA
Have to appreciate Jim's humor. "And his mate? " 😂😂😂
Who’s here after their scuffle😂
🤣🤣 I wonder if he still feels the same way about Eben...
Kool Cat. We all know he's an excellent player, but he certainly seems to be a very nice chap off the field too. Let's hope he doesn't get hurt here in SA. Lol
Jim Hamilton - rugby’s biggest thugs. But my opinion he’s my favourite.
Top bloke . Top shelve
St George’s pupil a great school for up and coming players and always thrashed roundwood school back in my day.
It would be great for his career to come play in SA for a season or two in the Super Rugby.
Im a springbok fan and as soon as fans dont like an opoising player then you must know how great he is.....😂😂😂😂We hate Itoje, he is that good. Man what a menace he can be for the boks
Giant !!
Nice
Itoje is one of the best in the world, an asset to the English team and Lions.
Unfortunately, he taints teams and the game with his dirty play. When confronted with his fouls, he resorts to pointing the finger back and pretending that the reaction is unjustified. Itoje's response to coming second in the world cup showed his character - not accepting the silver medallion being placed around his neck. I hope he'll develop some character.
All the best have some niggle in them ON THE PITCH. He's no eye-gouger or seeking to injure players or anything like that. He's a competitor and indulges in a bit of shithousery occasionally but all the greats did and it can be a factor in unsettling your opponents. And I'm not English.
Maro is one of those guys you hate on the field… if he is not on your side. He is only getting better and better as far as I can see and he is already one of the best. This interview was cool and made me like him a bit more. He should watch out for those stilly antics and penalties, then more people would regard him highly. Saying this from a Springbok supporter.🇿🇦
Itoje doesnt see rugby as a game. He sees it as an Art. Just the way he is you get the idea that he plays his game his way and he masters his art. Yeah, he definitely is a pain in the ass when youre in the opposite team, but his ways are phenomenal
Let's go bokke
Looking like David Njoku
Hey, I associated this guy with the colonials. This changed my mind about him. He is alright.
Alright? - a McDonalds Burger is "Alright" !
@@barron4755
Steady now, he is English and not a Bok
For the record, Itoje got DOMINATED by Eben and the Bok pack 🙋🏻♂️😛 there was a clip on UA-cam showing Eben man handling Itoje 😂😛 he is a good player… but probably a bit of hype about him. Where was he in the RWC 2019 final against the Boks? 🧐🤨
How does evaluating Itoje as a player and basing it on a single game where the entire team was decisively beaten a credible indicator? Why not using your parameter instead look at his performance in the semi against NZ. Wayne Smith said after that Itoje had one of the best games he had ever seen a forward play, Tony Hanson said he was an exceptional player. Instead why not look at his performances at international level , the Lions or for his club.
You understand that rugby is a team sport, so why are you posting that the springbok pack dominated him ? Rugby doesn’t work like that, it is a team sport I’ve seen several great scraps between Maro and Eben , both coming out with credit. Personally I would say Eben for his loose play tops Itoje . However good Eben is it’s ok to acknowledge that other players may also be good.
They are both superb locks, both solid in the set piece but bring very different skill sets to the game in the loose. If you saw Eben handling itoje on UA-cam you will likely find another of Eben getting dumped. I realise that player game and career stats aren’t probably your thing but I assure you they are a better indicator for a player than UA-cam.
Well well well. I don't think he has the same respect for eben anymore seeing as eben manhandled him and gave us a little scrumcap strip show complements to Itoje🤣. Siya's probably in there as well just for enabling it🤣 hie kommie bokke hie kommie bokke hoes🤣
He asked about Siya and Eben . What about De Allende
Why is De Allende relevent - is he also a Forward?
@@barron4755 Let's just say big man trying to knee De Allende neck
@@absoluteking95 I love how your selective bringing up Itoje bit conveniently ignoring Mostert. why talk about Franco Mosterts headshot on Conor Murray ?
Neither Itoje or Mostert were cited. What's there to talk about
sponsored by Vitality, a health company with South African roots, cant get away from us lol
His eyes says that he has nightmares about Eben🤣
Oh, I don't think Eben will worry Itoje.
@@grahammitchell5444 Maro is a great player, but Eben still gives him a good spanking.
@@proudsaffa2357 Ouch!
@@grahammitchell5444 you Sir, are a good sport, with a sense of humour. Keep well.
@@proudsaffa2357 ...and you too. Cheers!
I absolutely hate, with a passion when the Boks have to play him. He is just disruptive and talented.
wait, didnt him and Etzebeth have a little scrap?
Played dirty as hell during the Lions tour...
He's plays dirty everywhere
Butt hurt ? Cry more
Lood de jager
In the past now - an injury weakened and very short of game time Bok side comes out on top against Britain’s best - 👌 🇿🇦
And then loses twice on the trot an underperforming aussie side and loses to nz :)
Maro would’ve been the only blackman who I’d accept as the next James Bond.
Idris Elba is a much better choice.
If England had 2 of you, World Cups, 6 nations.....everything in the bag, all the time.
Elton John, Alan Carr & Gareth Thomas CBE 🤟
Eben made you his puppy
But was useless against aus and nz
@@benvaughan3392 are you trying to get some revenge? Coz it's not working. Grabbing at straws
@@OnlyTrustTheGovernment I don't think he was scared that eben grabbed on his shirt and pulled weird faces 😂 nice no1 spot 😉
@@benvaughan3392 you're probably English so I wouldn't speak if I was you. Chokers of sports
Where is England? 32-12? British and Irish tour? Lol, you're a joke
He got schooled by Faf de Klerk
he looks like ksi
He sometimes looks like Iwobi
It's interesting but Itoje has a bit of a black South African private school boy accent.
He sounds like he has a blocked nose
Some dirty ass player inspires Maro...
Overrated!!!!!
Who's overrated?
Yes..toejame..over rated....belongs in Nigeria..with all his ilk....
@@davidverster9523over rated are you ill?
@@bigginge1167 dude, as a South african, I'd say these gentlemen are very ill if they think Itoje is overrated!
@@ben_l5347 agreed, he still has to get to Ebens level, but Maro is a great player.
1stly Why does he have dirty spaghetti on his head?
2ndly Caster Semenya needs a new girlfriend. The current one is broken looking for something long term to “LOCK” onto😂😂
What does that have to do with the video ? Dont be rude
Funny how In cricket the English like to lecture others on the ‘spirit of the game’. In rugby Itoje forgets completely about the spirit of the game. He’s an absolute tosser the way he screams at people and screams over opposition lineout calls.
I’m not sure what English cricket has anything to do with Itoje ? Who talks about the spirit of the game in cricket in any case ? , it doesn’t tend to be players, usually it’s media and keyboard warriors trying to score a cheap point .
Also what chapter of spirit of the game do you think that Itoje is forgetting ?
If you have played any senior rugby you would know that screaming over opposition line out calls and at players is fairly common and not illegal.
So basically if we discount your England cricket analogy and your own construct of what constitutes the spirit of the game bs and screaming on the pitch all that’s left is just that you don’t like him and that makes him a tosser.
Genius 😂😂
Why is this foul player such a big deal he is allways playing foul, its so fucked up
'Foul Player ??? Alwsys plsying goul ? Really As a modern lock does he stand out for foul play amongst the other top loks in the game ? I dont think so .
Perhaps if you set aside your personal dislike of him and just focsed on his playing you might have more of an appreciation for him.
But I'm guessing by your generalisations you aren't really interested in how he actually plays and more interested in slating him regardless.
