Rokocoko was just in the wrong place at the wrong time . He was already off the ground when the second hit was made , so he couldn't of done anything about it .
Dayummmm! Both are awesome hits lol on two of the greatest wingers ever haha but to Habanas and Rokocokos credit they were both scheming and needed to be stopped otherwise there was going to be trouble for the defences😉 amazing players that I loved to watch...
Terry Butcher? GTFOH he and other soccer "hard men" went up and down the country kicking guys smaller than them. Legal tackles in rugby involve putting your own body on the line. If you're gonna mention soccer toughs at least go for Billy Bremner or someone like him. he was tough enough to be a rugby player.
i know they're giving credit to the bug number 16 for the hit, but how about the small scrum half for getting in under rokocoko after 7 other blokes just missed!
@cpitney lol, but can Rocokoko do it when it really counts like in a world cup, I don't think so ~ Habana anyday. Habana is good in defence and attack, Rocokoko is good in attack & that's it!!
So first tackle is late, shoulder, no arms… “ThaT’S FinE.” Second tackle is on the ball carrier, not tipped, arms wrapped. Textbook. “YeLLoW CaRD” …I’ve found the kiwi!
@@wrightoff The tackle's fine, the hit by 16 after the tackle is ridiculous. With Habana I don't think the guy has any chance to avoid him; he's committed to the tackle when Habana kicks and then runs into him.
Oh you want to play the victim. It's the rugby guys who take the first shot. Always talking about the pads and pretty much calling the sport gay. Then the NFL guys get defensive but it's the rugby guys always talking shit about the NFL like they have nothing else better to do. For a sport that you say the fans don't care about. They love to talk about it. Most NFL fans who know rugby just ignore it. They don't care enough to care about it or they like it.
In New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, United States, Canada, Pacific islands and parts of Asia it's called soccer... And the correct term is association football, soccer is an abbreviation of the word association so people don't get confused when other forms of football (rugby, American football) are more popular in their country than soccer.
I'm not but I'm a rugby and NFL fan but it's mainly the rugby guys. Why? Most NFL fans don't even know or care what rugby is (remember that Americans are supposedly so insular and they know nothing about the outside world). Don't be offended by the truth. NFL fans truly have no reason to talk about rugby.
this video is all the justification you need as to why a southern hemisphere nation will win the world cup. toughness. pllllllllllease they are illegal hits. how about you northerns learn to man up and really play one of the only tough sports remaining on earth.
@zisssssou , Bollocks stop the video at 0:11 he has his arm around his waist and at 0:49 you can see clearly he had his arm wrapped around the halfback. If you cant see those go back to watching indoor bowls where it's a bit slower and you can keep up
Fucking ridiculous tackle on Roco no arms just a shoulder and threw him to the ground. He's got to be one of the strongest wingers in the game. Got threw 5 people before stopped. Eazy peazy
@zest4lyfe Now what you fail to understand is that New Zealand has more Samoans than Samoa itself, Pacific Island families immigrate to New Zealand alot. WE are the ones who constantly get pillaged for our players, WE do more for pacific Island rugby than anyone else does, Cooper and Ioane grew up in New Zealand, both learnt the game in New Zealand. Ben Franks was born in Australia BUT he moved here very early on in life, as you can tell by his brother having been born in Motueka.
@ZEFOROUS Agree with most of what you say, but you're a sports fan and should know that form is temporary, but class is permanent!! Habana is half the player he was 2 years ago, but I reckon that we are starting to see him coming into a little form which all bodes well for the WC. Roko is not by any means the worst defender, but I prefer Habana in that department. NZ have at the moment an embaressment of riches in terms of wingers and speed demons, whats your choice for the WC?
Sheesh Joe Rocks is strong man! Love Bryan Habana coz hes never scared to run it straight for a little guy! Pity Springboks never give him the ball when hes playing international, he has to go looking for it lol.. Oh and Lets Go The ALL BLACKS!!
And I've got a bunch of words for you. . . Luis Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel Di Maria, Nani, Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rivaldo, I can keep going all day. I rest my case with this one
@zest4lyfe Mils Muliaina moved here aged TWO, Sivivatu aged FOURTEEN, Toeava moved here before Sivivatu did, I don't know the exact age but he attended De La Salle College in Auckland, New Zealand. Kaino attended the same High School in Pakuranga, New Zealand that Joe Rock did.
hahaha that's a beauty! i won't compare the two wings though, new zealand shape all their players to be dominant physically, our wings are just made to be good runners with the ball, though habana is one of our more physical wings in springbok history over the past two decades
Im not playing the victim. But hey you go act perfect, NFL fans are perfect and never say a bad word right? You guys are perfect model humans while Rugby fans never have anything nice to say in your little bubble. Just because a few people on UA-cam talk shit about NFL doesn't mean every single Rugby fan ever talks shit about it. The same ratio of people on both sides talk shit about and NFL guys even do so without being provoked.
Rokocoko was so fucking hardcore, he practically invented the pirouette (hit and spin) that we hardly see any more of.
Rokocoko was just in the wrong place at the wrong time . He was already off the ground when the second hit was made , so he couldn't of done anything about it .
lol. Joe Rockoco is one of the best winger all of time !
That hit on Joe wasn't that great, he was lifted first by the first player, who wouldnt get smashed when you're in the air? lol
Love that. "Throws an outrageous dummy!!"
2 shoulder charges, no wrapping.
The second one on rokocoko could have been dangerous
i prefer remember joe's wonderful run
Dayummmm! Both are awesome hits lol on two of the greatest wingers ever haha but to Habanas and Rokocokos credit they were both scheming and needed to be stopped otherwise there was going to be trouble for the defences😉 amazing players that I loved to watch...
and now their team mates in toulon LOL
Terry Butcher? GTFOH he and other soccer "hard men" went up and down the country kicking guys smaller than them. Legal tackles in rugby involve putting your own body on the line.

i know they're giving credit to the bug number 16 for the hit, but how about the small scrum half for getting in under rokocoko after 7 other blokes just missed!
best wingers in the world smashed in one game
@cpitney lol, but can Rocokoko do it when it really counts like in a world cup, I don't think so ~ Habana anyday. Habana is good in defence and attack, Rocokoko is good in attack & that's it!!
Nfl is never tougher than rugby fair play. When American footballers start playing with no helmets and huge pads then we'll start having a debate.
Difference is Joe got up without a tear in his eye
Yeah Roco, nice dicing mate, and ya took it like a champ! Habana good try no Cigar!
That just shows that even the best rugby players get jacked up sometimes.
That run from Joe was fuckin awesome! Thats like stuff from his Prime!
FUKN SHOULDER CHARGE! miss u Joe!
They're both great wingers
Rokocoko - holy fuking shit
Rockocoko,what a beast!
The beast got man handled lol.
@@beaztsnipr cheap hit
@zest4lyfe Yeah I don't really mind when a New Zealand born player represents Australia and to be honest the worst poachers are the English.
WwE😂
No fan of Sth African Rugby - but at least Rokocoko had the ball when he got tackled.
Hit on Rokocoko is just a cheap-shot shoulder charge; anyone can do that. It'd be yellow today.
So first tackle is late, shoulder, no arms…
“ThaT’S FinE.”
Second tackle is on the ball carrier, not tipped, arms wrapped. Textbook.
“YeLLoW CaRD”
…I’ve found the kiwi!
@@wrightoff The tackle's fine, the hit by 16 after the tackle is ridiculous. With Habana I don't think the guy has any chance to avoid him; he's committed to the tackle when Habana kicks and then runs into him.
Habana's left laying on the ground like a pile of shit, while Rokocoko gets straight back up!
Miss having SA in the super rugby.
Was just about to type that out. 100% agree

@arrogantkillaz in the northern hemisphere they'd both be sent off for shoulder charges haha

@taweraster Australia does not Poach NZ'ers... They move there in droves for other reasons, normally well before they are rugby stars!
the reaction from the bench was quality
The tackle on Habana is a good, solid hit.
@zest4lyfe What do you mean "snapped him up", he grew up in New Zealand :/
Comments like this is why people don't like union anymore.
@Nikon05 why? you guys start that crap not nfl fans
i expected nothing less from ali williams

Remember when Habana was good? No? Me neither. Rocokoko is a class above
Habana never good? 67 International tries - top try scorer in the history of all tier one nations.
any one notice Players from New Zealand are involved in Both smashes Ali Williams Smashed Habana and Rokocoko got smashed
gotta love jaque fourie's reaction
And I've got a bunch of words for you. . . Luis Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel Di Maria, Nani, Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rivaldo, I can keep going all day. I rest my case with this one

lol i personaly think football is a soft game, nothing wrong with that of course, but terry butcher is a man among men. tht head lol.
illegal tackle on habana? he made no attempt to wrap his arms around the player
@TheArthasmenethril maybe because the blues are a new zealand super 14 team?
@zest4lyfe He was born in Fiji but raised in New Zealand, how is it that we snapped him up?
football, soccer, its a shit sport no matter what you name it!
It's the rugby guys who mouth off about the NFL.
try playing it - coming from a rugby player and lover of the sport
Into OLY WILLIAMS "HE AINT GETTIN UP" (Family Guy btw :P)
@KnightsInfinity I was just thinking the same thing...my ribs are still sore!
wrapped the left arm round my ass
jip they have won tons of international rugby awards!! ggg
no 1 tell me what nfl is too! i know
looks like a hug in slow motion
They aren't words they are names.
tag team finishing move pwnage
@BahlsenD When Habana was hit the opposite player got his left arm around him. Not sure about the right arm..
poor ol bryan...... oouuccchhh!!
It was Late
Ah, Rugby.... So Beautiful.
you made a funny!
0:38 Hit delivered by SAPO...
OUCH!!!
But none of the players made an effort to wrap there arms round; it was just a straight up shoulder barge. Funny nevertheless.
It's true most NFL guys don't even recognize the existence of rugby.
New Zealand can never win without overseas players lol.
I love this sport !
Is that type of tackle still legal now in Rugby?
i would say that 95 percent of Big Hits in Union are illegal. both of these qualify
+cardigan3000 Back then, the refs would most likely let it go. Not now.
Im not playing the victim. But hey you go act perfect, NFL fans are perfect and never say a bad word right?

That doesnt change the fact that many NFL fans who know about Rugby talk shit about it. Most Rugby fans dont give a toss about NFL, Worlds apart.
lets see one of them step on a rugby pitch...
Its both. Dont act high and mighty.
Jesus christ, looked like Habanna walked into a wall!
