How is he so strong? I’ve been a fan of his his for the last few years, and I think he’s probably been the best no8 in the world during that time. As an England fan I’m also keen on Billy V, but the last few times Eng faced SA Duane had Billy comfortably in his pocket. Great player.
I think Billy is overweight and unfit that's just my opinion. You can't keep your strength up the whole game. Duanes conditioning is next level. Makes a big difference
What I love about videos like this is the size of these guys and how nimble they are. The fact that he is the 8 man makes it even better. I love to watch but just not sure if I'd wanna go head to head with him!
Just to clear it up for everyone out there. . . . He is obviously from SA, and he's been coined the world over as "Diesel" Duane. . . Cos he's like a a diesel truck firing up and coming at you 😁😁
And this is why you don't fuck with South African men. This is our sports team, imagine our street teams kids... We will eat those American NFL tulips in the blink of an eye
Not sure about that, friend. There have been some very special players in the Bok 8 jersey over the years. Right now, though, Vermeulen is the best 8 around, though. Not just for the Boks, but overall, in my opinion.
@@interestedbystander196 I agree we havr been blessed with great No8's over the years. But for me Duane stands out. The past No 8's always had a compromise i.e size compromised their ability to poach and force a turnover and their handling sometimes found wanting(Ryan Kankowski an exeption) But Duane has it all, great lineout jumper, great handling, amazing leader, poacher, taking the ball over the advantage line and the best of all a great tackler!
@@mario2918 I was always partial to watching Bobby Skinstad playing (spelling?) at 8. He seemed to have all the goods, but a pity he was only around for a relatively short period. Was he injured, or did he fall out of favour? Also liked Gary Teichmann, as well as Andre Vos, who played for my team Quins.

Who was your RWC player of the tournament??
Cheslin kolbe 👏
I would have to say it was between Vermeulen and Underhill for me.
Vermeulen takes it because of the win in the end and the MOM performance.
Cheslin Kolbe for me
Vermeulen, Du Toit and Kolbe!!
Kolbe!! He was a beast....Vermeulen was great too though
Love the SA players, their forwards are just awesome
he is a freaken beast, strong at every contest
I agree
He dominates almost every collision!!
Yes he is so strong
🥰🥰🥰

I think he’s had most 8s in his pocket🤣 mans a fucking Monster
@@divad8727Most except for Read. They’ve had only a few battles but Read’s edges it
This is what happens when you design a number 8 in a lab.
Unit.
Mtawarira: (Crowd shouts)"BEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSTTT!!!!"
Vermeulen: "Hold my beer please?"
Loved seeing him play for the Bulls and the World Cup squad :D
2:04 “You’re big. I’ve fought bigger.” (Thor, 2011)
This fella is a tank. Great song choice btw.
Where is his massive hit where he dislocated Ken Owens' shoulder in the semi final?
I was also waiting for that
UA-cam doesn't allow videos with actual violence...
😎
He is a absolute monster.. a champions heart in a warriors body.. best number 8 on the planet.. and thats a fact
Best 8 on the planet imho.
England have bullied us Irish last couple of seasons but they certainly don’t bully the Boks with Duane n co nice to see
The best number 8 in the world internationally. Head and shoulders above the rest since Read's retirement. Stats to back that up.
Eben etzebeth.. Duane and bakkies Botha with faf de klark oh my god this team is ❤️❤️
Vermeulen is truly the beast of world rugby
What an awesome video from Die Hard Rugby
1:02 Dr. Nick Phipps handing out hospital passes
What I love about videos like this is the size of these guys and how nimble they are. The fact that he is the 8 man makes it even better. I love to watch but just not sure if I'd wanna go head to head with him!
Damn, those hits are big. And most of them are on big forwards too.
Guy makes Vunipola look like a child everytime he plays against him. Respect BV but DV is a different level.
0:24 Awkward ass slo mo. Literally
The mascot behind there 🤣🤣🤣
Lol, they need to save it for the hotel later on. 🤣
Ahhh😂
Pause on 1:08. You'll see Jannie du Plessis laughing at Duane's tackle.
Awesome love watching him put 120% in all the time
absolutely LOVE this guy!!
ABSOLUTE BEAST OF A PLAYER!
0:58 Daaaamn...That shit was disrespectful AF, He picked the Guy up like a Child, and Slammed him like a Sack of Potatoes or something !! 😂😂😂
American feel gangsta till the South African rugby players pull up🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️
What?
True story
Duane is a beast for the Boks
He is such a beast 💪, really skilled player!
Springboks real captain 🔥
Agree
Only at your house pal!
Always a huge fan!!!
One of the greats!
He's the best! Power
i love de beats of your videos, create a playlist
Love the video.🥰🥰🥰🥰
What do you mean "IF" THOR played Rugby Union.... he was the 1st one to put his hand up to play the game in heaven.
Great video can you please make a Tribute for Malcolm Marx , Pieter Steph Du Toit and Lukhanyo Am
Checkout my channel.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Agreed. Would love to see something on Am. So underrated.
Yeeeeessssss
What an awesome video!!!
Would have loved to see him vs Pierre spies both in their prime 🤯
No contest spies was a converted wing Duane was always a forward.
Excellent!!!
Headline = True Story - Thor is Alive 💪🏻
Just to clear it up for everyone out there. . . . He is obviously from SA, and he's been coined the world over as "Diesel" Duane. . . Cos he's like a a diesel truck firing up and coming at you 😁😁
1:00💪He slammed dude like he made the mistake of disturbing his sleep 😡
Duane would have been a better Thor than the other guy. Vermeulen is a beast will be missed in the bok squad.
Undoubtedly the best number eight of the professional era imho.
0:26 I had the same reaction as the mascot
Love it 🤣🤣🤣
What about that guy whis about to eat ass? Lmao
Just thinking back fondly to a time when the Bulls had players like Duane, Pollard, Gelant, Snyman, Lood. O_o
The true Springbok captain in my opinion. Puts Kolisi to shame in every aspect of the game.
How 🤔❓
Thor picks guys up and Beats them against the Field.. its really remarkable and AWESOME !!
A Springbok soldier.
This man is brutal!
0:59 LOL
He is like De Klerk both power houses
0:25 number 12 shorts😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please do victor matfield,Brodie retallick,pieter Steph du toit,beauden barrett and rieko ioane
te BEST number 8 ever
His positionin was on point ready and waiting to drop people
Thor on a rugby field!
Checkout my channel.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Rugby field underneath Thor!
If I can recall correctly, that was Aaron Smith who got lifted off the ground....
Comment stopper une telle force de la nature
Watching these I’m actually impressed with his speed. Is Reid as fast or faster? Any video clip of these guys head to head on speed
That’s way too specific
Jared Opperman never know unless you ask
you should make a video of pocock 🔥
In South Africa he is known as THORmeulen
I'm just in the comment section for those who noted 0:26 😂😂😂😂🔥
Rugby Brutality.
Recently converted from lock to 8, might as well learn from the best
Notice who missed that tackle on vermeulen that let him score the try... world rugbys nominee for player of the year itoje
This is wat jou call BOER KRAG
He is my idle and I’m inspired to be like him
Never understood why Spies was picked above him all those years ago. All-round great player.
respect
Y’all just gonna ignore that dudes ass in 00:24 🤣🤣
Absolute monster!
Thor💪👊
'n Bees van 'n man !!
And this is why you don't fuck with South African men. This is our sports team, imagine our street teams kids... We will eat those American NFL tulips in the blink of an eye
If Thor played rugby, he'd be an All Black
Beast!!!!
This guys knows how to pound some meat
Beast 🤯🤯🤯
PUTS RICHIE McCAW To shame, son.
At least brick walls dont move.
DuanO the MainO
Samoans sit down, wit dey pant on da ground.

Thats a lot of beef
Pause 0:27 and you see the stare at the bottox
0:29
That's fuckin insane wtf
Ottimo 3 linea
The Fucken beast
What about him is thor
Am i the only one who thought he might be talking about Halfthor

SA's best ever No. 8

He is my mentor
