Faf de Klerk and Cheslin Kolbe are on the same team and South Africa is the reigning world champion. The All Blacks are amazing and are definitely tough to beat, but they fell apart last world cup. What's fun about international rugby is that you've got this group of elite national teams: SA, Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales-- and they all take turns grappling for the top. It's rarely the same 2 years in a row and it keeps things exciting.
He came from 7s - Has won an olympic bronze medal. that try where he goose steps the Kenyan is a 7s game also note, his cousin is Wayde van Niekerk - olympic 400m champ and world record holder
@@cookiesamurai6728 Your smoking the wrong shit mate. SA are the current world champions having beaten England 32-12 which is the second highest margin in the history of WC finals
@@cookiesamurai6728 and yet South Africa and the All Blacks are the ONLY teams that have won the rugby world cup 3 times in the history of rugby. Where is England there? Please stop your prejudices and do your research before you breath
@@RadientZAR5749 You sounding like a clown 🤡 the man was joking. You must be South African seeing as you jump to conclusions and accuse someone of being prejudice without understanding the message/joke.
My man! This was a great reaction video. If you want to see some brutality in rugby, please do a reaction of Eben Etzebeth (South Africa, still playing) and/or Bakkies Botha (South Africa, retired)
Cheslin Kolbe plays for the South Africans and it’s amazing to watch him play , and South Africa is the best rugby team in the world right now at the moment 🎉
His 1sr cousin Wayde Van Niekerk is an Olympic sprint record holder. Kolbe was doing 100m in 10.7 at 18, no one has released a result since. He chose between rugby and professional running.
Cheslin is a match winner no doubt, his north south running is superb, he can change direction without losing pace so effortlessly . He's a little guy but super quick, he'd be in the 4.3's over 40.
All Blacks are the best team in history for sure but their biggest rivals are the Springboks(south africa) and after winnig the world cup in 2019 SA are the no.1 ranked team in the world,reigning team of the year, coach of the year and world player of the year. If you love rugby never miss a All blacks vs Springboks game, its the most intense test matches in the world and skill levels are insane
All scenes on your video clip where he doesn't have a cap on his head, are the sevens code clips. But there are multiple clips on the internet where you can find his sevens skills. And correct he got a Bronze medal in the Olympics. Bare in mind there are not a lot of players who can change codes like Ches and be successful in the 15 man code. He is one of a few players who got that right. Mostly sevens players struggle to make the transition as the space is so much smaller. But also those sevens player's got more work ethic and energy once they switch codes.
He is not a 10.10 Trae Williams or a 10,13 Carlin Isles or a 10.26 Brain Habbana but he is the worlds most elusive 15 or 14 and his standing acceleration is awesome.
Looking at the backs in 15s (as they would be the ones best suited to 7/) I’d say right now the best/most exciting backline in the world would be: 9- Scrum-half - Antoine Dupont (France) 10- Fly-half - Finn Russell (Scotland) 12&13- Centres - Virimi Vakatawa (France) and Semi Radradra (Fiji) 11&14 - Wingers - Cheslin Kolbe and any of Teddy Thomas, Josua Tuisova, Nemani Nadolo, Reiko Ioane, Duhan Van Der Merwe, Damien Penaud 15- Fullback - Stuart Hogg (Scotland) You should definitely check them out (a lot have played 7s and all of them are well suited to it)
Faf is just as good in a different position different skills m8. Both top notch rugby players. You should watch an entire game to better understand 15s
Friendly suggestion, perhaps get some facts through some small research and tell the audience stats such as their position, size, weight and what International Team they play for. I reckon that could be a sweet addition to your videos
any cape colored will tell you if you tell us to run we run, Is nog PROVINCE WARRITE MAAK! So proud of Kolbe, Arendse and Wayde (Kolbe's cousin) All blacks is a great team but not the best South Africa is the world champions therefore we are the best until they take that away from us we claim it. Every rugby team deserves respect , this is a gentleman's game so we respect what each team brings. All these men puts their hears on that field for us so all we can give them back is respect so yeah Rugby is not about that it is literally about the Passion you have for your team or country for those 80+Minutes. Speed runs in Kolbe's Blood and Heritage
SA is the current world champions and the #1 ranked team but the All Blacks have dominated world rugby for years. Some current or recent All Blacks to look at: Beauden "BBBBB" Barrett, Damian McKenzie, Ardie Savea, Brodie Retallick, Aaron Smith, Dan Carter, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, George Bridge, Sevu Reece, Rieko Ioane, Sonny Bill Williams. to get you started
Springboks and the All Blacks the most dominant teams in the world. Both are 3 time world champions and when they go head to head...its like El Classico. Best two rugby nations. 1987', 2011', 2015' world champs and Springboks 1995', 2007' and 2019' world champs.
South Africa and New Zealand currently both have 3 world cups each so they are currently evenly matched, but New Zealand are a more dominant nation and South Africa normally struggle against them. Current world rankings after the 2019 world cup South Africa are ranked 1
I Play 7s. I only played for 3 months before making the National team. i Watched more 7s, but ive never been a sports watcher. I play not watch... so i have tons of catching up to do.
@@trayreacts3633 If you don't know how Rugby Union works then I would suggest you look up the rules to make sure you understand what different players are doing and what each role requires. National team? did you play in any of the rugby 7s world cups?
There is no one "best" rugby player, you have to compare players that play in the same position, Kolbe is a wing, so he has to be compared with other players that are wings. Kolbe played 7's before graduating to the 15 a side game. Whenever you see Kolbe playing without a scrum cap, that will be him plating 7's
Nah the all blacks are the best because the Springboks haven't beaten us in like 2 years you may have the rwc but if you don't beat the all blacks twice then the first time was a fluke..
@@raymondwhiu99 abs need to go beat england first...last time i checked they havent won england who played in the final in 2 yrs... They lucky they ranked 3rd at the moment with ian foster at the helm.
Statistically SA is currently the best in the world. New Zealand is historically the best team in the world, but not at the moment. Even Argentina recently beat the All Blacks
South Africa played in less world cups than the all black and South Africa has never lost a final, South Africa has a better world cup record 2 finals overseas one Final at home , All black won2 at home and one away.. Clearly South Africa has better stats in world cup than All blacks, AB'S has been more consistent in being no 1 , but that's about it .. We have too much politics here that caused US to go down.. All blacks only over took win ratio Against us we were leading the win ratio column in the 1990s they over took us early 2000s.
South Africa won the world cup last year and cheslin has been voted best rugby player he has been in the Olympic 7s team also which he came third place he got , yes FAF Dr klerk is on the same team , the springboks is the current best team in the world before winning the world cup they won the south hemisphere rugby tournament beating the ALL Blacks and Australia and Argentina just weeks before the start of the world cup so they are the best
you ask if he’s big or not but why don’t you just search it up before you play the highlight video that you react to? Just so you understand a little more about him.
South Africa are the world champions, but don’t get it twisted All Blacks are the most consistent team in the world in any sport. They are the best attacking rugby nation, then maybe the French in terms of flair. As great as Kolbe is he hardly gets the ball due our game plan, but make no mistake man is one of best alive.
The very first shot in this video shows Kolbe wearing a #7 jersey. That's him playing 7s so I guess he's fast enough. No, he's not 5'9". That's about 3" to much.

He actually got he's recognition in 7s... he won a bronze medal in the Olympics with SA
One of South Africa's 3 Jack Russel Terriers. AND yes, South Africa is currently World Champs.

Actually South Africa is the best in the world right now. Kolbe used to play 7s
True dat!!!

Whoever is reading this, God knows what your going through, he heard your cry, he is going to deliver you. Just trust in him
Have a blessed ♥️🙏🏾
probably the best react channel i have found from "American reacts to Rugby" type vids. well done
South Africa has 3 of my favorite players Eben etzabeth, Kolbe and Faf.
Cheslin is a match winner no doubt, his north south running is superb, he can change direction without losing pace so effortlessly . He's a little guy but super quick, he'd be in the 4.3's over 40.
When he he said all blacks are better them the springboks😂😂😂l laughed so hard
He didn’t he asked if they are or not
@frankie byrne Still world champions and still top in the rankings 😌
@frankie byrne could not beat england tho easily can argue that they got lucky not going to but it proves that does not matter
Mr Poor man's podcast hullooo😁 fancy seeing you here. Hi from 🇿🇦
South Africa are the best rugby team, we had our dip in the last few years but any team that faces us really has to think 4-5 times
new to your channel love the video , love the vibes keep up the good work ❤❤
Best 7's and 15's player in the world!!!! Hands down!!!
He is 5'7, 76kg. Very small for the modern game.
All Blacks are the best team in history for sure but their biggest rivals are the Springboks(south africa) and after winnig the world cup in 2019 SA are the no.1 ranked team in the world,reigning team of the year, coach of the year and world player of the year.
If you love rugby never miss a All blacks vs Springboks game, its the most intense test matches in the world and skill levels are insane
We are very lucky to have both faf and cheslin
He played 7's for many years. Wayde van Niekerk holds the 400m record and Cheslin is his cuz
He's been in South Africa's sevens team already.
He really is good. Hes got the brain and skill
Hes amazing
All scenes on your video clip where he doesn't have a cap on his head, are the sevens code clips. But there are multiple clips on the internet where you can find his sevens skills. And correct he got a Bronze medal in the Olympics. Bare in mind there are not a lot of players who can change codes like Ches and be successful in the 15 man code.

He was a sevens player before 15's player for south africa
please react to SA vs England rugby World Cup 2019...u see all the amazing SA players !!
Seriously!! I want to see his reactions to Handre Pollard and Pieter-Steph DuToit and Mapimpi
I thought you said he's a mannequin's children and I was like, whaaaat? Man amongst children makes far more sense 😆
he started as a 7s player..some of the clips when he wearing the lime green...thats the SA 7s team
Keep up the cool work ❤
He is not a 10.10 Trae Williams or a 10,13 Carlin Isles or a 10.26 Brain Habbana but he is the worlds most elusive 15 or 14 and his standing acceleration is awesome.
Alreadyplayed 7s. Started playing 7s for yhe Blitzbokke ( south african 7s side)
Looking at the backs in 15s (as they would be the ones best suited to 7/)
I’d say right now the best/most exciting backline in the world would be:
9- Scrum-half - Antoine Dupont (France)
10- Fly-half - Finn Russell (Scotland)
12&13- Centres - Virimi Vakatawa (France) and Semi Radradra (Fiji)
11&14 - Wingers - Cheslin Kolbe and any of Teddy Thomas, Josua Tuisova, Nemani Nadolo, Reiko Ioane, Duhan Van Der Merwe, Damien Penaud
15- Fullback - Stuart Hogg (Scotland)
You should definitely check them out (a lot have played 7s and all of them are well suited to it)
Faxx i would add faf too
Kolbe and Semi are my favorite out of all you just named
Calum Caldwell tuisova and Kolbe for me. Radradra is the best full stop. His NRL highlights are amazing 70 tries in 74 games.
love your reaction so much I subscribed
Kolbe actually played sevens. I'm surprised you didnt notice some of these highlights were from sevens games
Faf is just as good in a different position different skills m8. Both top notch rugby players. You should watch an entire game to better understand 15s
Kolbe is 5' 6" 79 kgs. Kolbe started in the 7's side for SA
Ches plays 15s and 7s - the tries where he wears the jersey with the yellow chest and green sleeves are tries scored in the South African 7s team
Friendly suggestion, perhaps get some facts through some small research and tell the audience stats such as their position, size, weight and what International Team they play for. I reckon that could be a sweet addition to your videos

Take politics out of South African sport and pick only on merit, I think South Africa would have the edge.
"give me the HBO special"
i see you 😉
He was a 7’s superstar before 15’s
To your question he did play sevens the step he did against the red and white shots team it was Kenya on the sevens
South Africa still ranked no.1 in the World 2022
Cheslin was told his too small for RUGBY ..look it the Beast now
I'm South African, but check out Ardie Savea, Ngani laumapi, Sevu reece and Nehe milner skuder (Just to name a few all blacks)
Cheslin came from 7’s. Was a star
You have to checkout Antoine Dupont ...! Amazing player.
Between him and Ceslin Colby for 1 player in world at the moment.
South Africa are the world champions and are ranked nr 1 in the world right now
His rugby career started in 7's
South Africa won the last rugby world cup in 2019💯🤷🏿♂️
How can a "pro rubgy player" not know who the best in the world is, and who won the world cup?! Like that makes not sense!!

Thought you'd take note of the opponent at 7:19 coz you have their country tee on, anyway Kolbe started in sevens before he bumped up to 15's.
having faf and Cheslin on the same team was just unfair. 2 small guys humiliating the beasts
