Don't worry he got back what he was giving out there those days were brutal n savage out there the games moved on from those days as 4 me I loved it all professional now those were the Amateur days then so they say no money just the love of the game and representing your club and country.
I don't know about that you should watch We beat the All Blacks Llanelli v the All Blacks and see what the players who played against Keith Murdoch said about him he would be way up there if not the top
A hate him or like him player, costly sometimes in the penalty count but never took a step backwards, that's what I liked about Richard Loey Loe especiallyi n the Black jersey.
Toughman... Eye gouging isnt tough and is a disgrace. I hope someone does that to him and costs him his eye sight. And it wasnt an accidental eye gouge either he liked. A disgrace to the great hard forwards of NZ
He's an embarrassment that NZ rugby could do without. he was only in the All Blacks because he married the coach's daughter. Here's the last line of his Rugby life on Wiki: "Throughout his career he received numerous bans for striking, eye gouging and other foul play." If that's the sort of shit-on-two-legs you want to call a legend, well, NZ Rugby can do better. A lot better. To call Loe a legend is an insult to true NZ Rugby legends like Jones, Brooke, Cullen, Going, Lomu & so many others.
He might have fancied himself as a hard man, chinning defenceless wingers, but he didn't fancy mixing it with Wade Dooley, according to Jason Leonard. So more of a bully and a thug than a real hard man.
Played against Loey when he was playing for Fraser-Tech in Hamilton, tough guy and very strong. A real thug, but every team had them in those days. It was pretty much survival of the fittest in them times, stand up or get dominated, I miss the old days.
My cousin Marked him for Southland,Ward Maere and he was huge about 6 ft 3 and 135 kilos..... And Richard Loe bent him in almost every scrum 🤦🏽♂️ I was a young front rower playing in Southland at the time and to see my big cuz get chewed up was a sight to behold...... So I know you would have had your work cut out for you brother
Thug on the field , not denying that But I met Loe at the Rydges hotel here in Auckland NZ.He came across as a very well spoken, intelligent and articulate man.
A classic Tag Team move...Bunce rolls victim onto back....thus presenting face to Loe.....Richard completes finishing move with solid ground and pound forearm to try scorers face.....No action is taken by All Black MGMT. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!
The thing i liked about him was unquestionable loyalty to his team and team mates.if you knocked him over, he would get up and knock you over . Now you knock someone over you get sent off just depends on how well you can milk it. Watching those test matches was exciting and exhilarating. NOT SO SURE NOW.
Yeah right ... Here's your tough enforcer up against the smallest man on the field ... I see they forgot this highlight from Loe's career ... scroll through to 1:17 here: ua-cam.com/video/z0fHceNijNU/v-deo.html
England have lost their last 6 or 7 straight to NZ by my count. They haven't beaten us since 2003. They haven't won a six nations crown since then either. English rugby is crap.
Average test player but huge thug. Dirty, not a role model, except for New Zeelanders who will stoop to any low to win a match, with their cheating referees.
Seriously? From memory neither of the NZ batsmen went to hospital from the severity of Trevor Chappell's lawn bowl's practice. And honestly - every Australian is saying, "Fark - are the kiwi's still crowing ova that underarm bowling incident?" The difference is, Australians agree the underarm bowling was disgraceful - meanwhile the kiwi's idolize a useless clown like Loe the Elbow.
Here's how tough Loe is when he meets an Australian half his size who doesn't have both arms pinned down by an All Black: ... scroll through to 1:15 here: ua-cam.com/video/z0fHceNijNU/v-deo.html
Yes , his thuggery masked what was a very good career. He was a very mobile prop in his prime and a dominant scrummager. One of the best that the AB's have ever produced...... but for the foul play.....
He was nothing but an eye-gouging, stomping thug. A bloody disgrace to the game. The fact that he had to constantly cheat to 'keep up' with the real talent simply proves what a talentless thug he was. Only thing good about him is that he's gone!
He was a very good prop however his behaviour on a rugby field on many occasions was pure thuggery, I'm all for tough play however eye gouging is cowardly and should have always been a straight red card offence whatever era .
Richard Loe is beloved because he represents the end of the Farmer/Hard nut All Black archetype. Yes it is thuggery but it's a splash of colour from the past to relieve us from bland modern professional Rugby.
He may have been dirty and a thug and whatever else, but I saw him live in a match and he was marking my cousin who was 6 ft 3 and 135 kilos..... And Richard Loe bent him up like a pretzel LoL. My cousin said it was like trying to wrestle with a Tree stump and was easily the strongest man he ever played. As far as the dirty stuff, that was par for the course back in those days. For instance I saw Richard loe get kneed and then head butted in a game against France and I don't think he even complain to the ref........ He definitely didn't go on about it for the next 25 years 😂😂😂 Jonah Lomu also states that he was one of the old All Blacks that was good and welcoming the young guys.
@@marksheehan8026 I did read what you said. If you don't think beating up people requires strength (thuggish or not), then you need to read a dictionary.
Man that forearm on Paul Carozza was a shocker, even though at the time I was thinking "Oh please let that be Carozza out for the game!" For some reason "Try time....for Carozza!!!" is etched in my childhood memories.
I'm an All Black fan and Richard Low was a thug who wouldn't get a game because he lacks the necessary skills in the modern era. But back in the good old days he was average at best. I remember hearing he got smashed by Jonah Lomu at a training session once and that made me smile. All Blacks to win the World Cup this year....vote up if you agree.
@benbig67 I hear ya mate, the All Blacks have had no mongrels since Keith Robertson..that guy almost singlehandedly made a British Lions 2005 pack crawl back inside themselves.
Missed the one Waikato v auckland. Ball comes out the scrum, passed to foxy who passes it on to the centres. Meanwhile lowy trundle off the scrum towards foxy and several seconds after the ball has gone, stiff arm headhigh blind hit on foxy. So late none of the officials saw it
@benbig67 heck yeah, owen franks is almost there.. i think we play our best rugby when we are dominantly aggressive at the breakdown and in the physical contest
Yeah, that was last year. They used to be one of the most feared teams in the world, now even the English laugh at the All blacks. Its not right. Even the wallabies are losing their touch, in Rugby and cricket
Yup. A real hard man....head high tackler; an argument with a scrum half; gobbing off at a ref; kneeing try scorers in the back.............................'just loved it when Scotland's Gav Hasting ran through him in a WC match. NZ had better props than him.

You conveniently left out what the australian's face looked like after he smashed his nose to shit Thank god rugby is professional. Loe was a disgrace.

Loe comes and stands over him like a sentinel, turns head toward the Irish pack, stands silently with a death stare, taking names 'n numbers.
Fillerzine aye but he did fuck all about it because he’s a pussy. If it was the Irish backs he would of started swinging. Eye gouging on the ground, blind side swinging arms...not one second of the footage showed stand toe to toe and throw bombs.
Eye gouging and dropping an elbow into a players face after he has scored a try are hardly the hallmarks of a tough guy
Bloody oath he was tough The frenchman Eric Chaump he was worse Bakkies Botha was and absolute beast got to meet him bro massive UNIT
Don't worry he got back what he was giving out there those days were brutal n savage out there the games moved on from those days as 4 me I loved it all professional now those were the Amateur days then so they say no money just the love of the game and representing your club and country.
Is he dead?
Feel free to say that to his face.
to be honest when I heard Richard Loe refer to the Lions as cynical, i spat my coffee out...pure thug
Old comment but stil gave me a stitch✌
Says a lot about the man when his highlights reel contains almost all illegal acts of violence.
Says:get the fuck outta my way muthafuka
Definitely agreed. Rugbys Hopoate! an absolute grub!
The biggest grub who ever ran onto a Rugby ground...in either forms of the game.
Fortunately, after him came Carl Hoeft, Kees Meeuws and Craig Dowd - far better front rowers. And after them, Tony Woodcock
I don't know about that you should watch We beat the All Blacks Llanelli v the All Blacks and see what the players who played against Keith Murdoch said about him he would be way up there if not the top

Well Gavin Hastings ran over him fairly easily...

LMAO what a stupid comment
He didnt marry the coaches daughter you idiot. Loe and McDowell were easily the best props in NZ for nearly a decade
Loe is ex AB's coach Alex Wyllie's nephew, if he married the coaches daughter he would have married his first cousin ,Lol:)
Did you ever play rugby?
@@cheneree Of course. And I could tackle better than this ...

joe smith who lol
Wade Dooley looked like Wade Dooley but he played like Farah Fawcett.
Which all black jersey did Wade have on ..................
Loey was hard as f#@k but equally a massive bully. Make no mistake though, Richard loe could scrap
joe smith Do you say the same about gutless Danny Grewcock or Simon Shaw. Both every bit as bad as Loe.

Loey was the Paul Gallen of rugby union back in his day a pure grub!
Pokeye gets my vote as the most overtly grubby player in NZ History.
Throughout his career he received numerous bans for striking, eye gouging and other foul play.

Monster Monster Monster!!!
I heard a former all black say one day that when the devil made props he thought of Richard Loe!!!!
Haha Richard makes Bakkies look like Mother Theresa!
The eye-surgeon!

Every team NEEDED a play like Loe back then. Nowadays, the ref will whistle you out of the game.
Would've loved to have seen him in more action against the supreme thugs of world rugby - the Springboks.
Jack, he did play against the Books a few times. They picked a convicted murderer against him once. No lie.
the boks complained as they said he was too much of a thug lol and he did dick their thug as well.
Bad to the bone let me tell ya went to a few mooloo games in my young days seen that dude do some shady shite on the field

Thuggery aside Loey was a decent prop, strong as hell and a powerful scrummager, Took no BS from anyone
Yea as long as they're defenseless in a tackle or a ruck. Loe is a disgraceful bully
Yes , his thuggery masked what was a very good career. He was a very mobile prop in his prime and a dominant scrummager. One of the best that the AB's have ever produced...... but for the foul play.....
Man? No.
MACHINE.
He was nothing but an eye-gouging, stomping thug. A bloody disgrace to the game. The fact that he had to constantly cheat to 'keep up' with the real talent simply proves what a talentless thug he was. Only thing good about him is that he's gone!
Imagine Richard Loe and Keith Murdoch as your props 😂 .....For those that don't know KM just watch We beat the All Blacks Llanelli v All Blacks on YT
Imagine him and Murdock in the front row together!! 😂😂😂😂🥊🥊🥊🥊
The eye-gauge and elbow smash were pretty awful. They should have called him Richard Low.
Loe by name. Low by nature.
The game is too soft these days. The RWC final 2023 is a classic example. Stupid cards issued for both teams disrupting the game we want to watch
He was a very good prop however his behaviour on a rugby field on many occasions was pure thuggery, I'm all for tough play however eye gouging is cowardly and should have always been a straight red card offence whatever era .
I remember when little George Gregan stopped him dead his tracks! Bang-stop.
Nothing tough about this little dude. Bakkies Botha would eat this little dude for breakfast
Loe did some thing right cos we all still remember him
Yeah well - the world won't forget Hitler or Stalin too quickly either.
@@Fuzcapp 9 years ago, wow.
Most are highlighting his unsportsmanlike maner but more noticeable is how short it was
Richard Loe is beloved because he represents the end of the Farmer/Hard nut All Black archetype. Yes it is thuggery but it's a splash of colour from the past to relieve us from bland modern professional Rugby.
@Robert Miller 'Haha I'm so smart repeating someone else's joke' - You
History needs villains. It was a golden age in rugby.

Wasn’t that tough when he faced Os du Rand.

Just another thug, who thinks he's a hero.
They don't make them like that anymore. Respect.
Dirty player that’s it really
Old Richard Pokai (poke eye) Loe. A great player. Legendary
The goat of Grubs!.
Cheap shot merchant.
Mark shaw was tougher

Beating people up is not strength in the slightest shows cowardly and unskilled they are ..

that someone is celebrating Loe here as an eye gouger is worrying.
I would expect this attitude in france. disgusting.
Not many Loes left... AB rugby now predominantly a best of Fiji Tonga and Samoa. Days of the sheep farmers long gone.
Don't worry, Richie McCaw and the Franks brothers still play for NZ. As long as Cantabrians are in the All Blacks, they'll never be short of thugs.
@benbig67 heck yeah, owen franks is almost there.. i think we play our best rugby when we are dominantly aggressive at the breakdown and in the physical contest
I miss the days when we had thugs playing for us, forget about all this attacking flair nonsense, bring back the mongrels.
Indeed I mean after all the underarm bowl was still legal at the time (albeit not in the spirit of the game) no one was injured etc etc
Sorry Bunce it was actually John Timu...who later Loey had a falling out with...
I think he was referring to "Pure Meat Bulldozer" (1992) the gay porno Richard Loe starred in, not his playing abilities.
I see they forgot this highlight from Loe's career ... scroll through to 1:17 here: ua-cam.com/video/z0fHceNijNU/v-deo.html
real hardman yea Loe. get some one in the bottom of the ruck or hit a little winger when hes defenceless . Real tough guy
@driffter1976 Yeah eye gouging a guy who weighs 30 kg less than you, real hard
Richard Loe.....NZ's version of Bakkies Botha. A rugby thug.

Yeah - once Australia starting importing their rugby incompetence from New Zealand, they became even more shit.
Wan't banned until he eye gouged his own All Blacks team mate in a local game.
If he played now he'd be a 120 kg ball of muscle who liked hurting people.
He make Trevor and Greg Chapelle look like heroes by comparison
All Hacks- bunch of has beens. They havent played a decent game a rugby since before the world cup in 07
Has beens?,RWC 2011,2015.
eye gouge is the lowest thing a player can do
@nickojb7 Bless- how long have you waited to say that
2:33 - Laurie Mains is like, "Oh, for fuck's sake Richard!"
Yeah, why not celebrate an eye gouge? Thug
The biggest grub in the history of sport.
So many springbok fans m9aning about dirty play that's rich

Loe comes and stands over him like a sentinel, turns head toward the Irish pack, stands silently with a death stare, taking names 'n numbers.
Fillerzine aye but he did fuck all about it because he’s a pussy. If it was the Irish backs he would of started swinging. Eye gouging on the ground, blind side swinging arms...not one second of the footage showed stand toe to toe and throw bombs.
