@@HollywoodAntidote He can really make some magic
@@WatchRugby24 DDA Damian de Allende
KWAGGA the ATOM BOMB
@@vmanmabaso9539 could feature him in an upcoming video 🙌🏼
Whenever Kwagga comes onto the field I know right then that it’s over for the opposition👌 An absolute machine, the versatility & dimension he brings to the team are invaluable, backed up by that work rate & you have the ultimate super sub🔥🔥🔥 Nal’iKwagga!!!
Legend in the making. Couldn't agree more 🙌🏼
Agree. Game changer against the British and Irish Lions
The moment kwagge, koch, ox nche, etzebeth, jesse kriel, de allende, willie le roux, arendse, psdt or cheslin kolbe is on the field, its chai for you
Great Video! Good to see Kwagga getting the praise he deserves!
@@HollywoodAntidote glad you enjoyed 🙌🏼
Thank you this video this guy was a beast when he was playing 7s but has been a revelation in 15s
@@vmanmabaso9539 thanks for watching 🙏🏼 he's something special indeed
I love Kwagga, his runs might not be the most graceful or fluid but damn well he will eat up the field with grit and determination! He always gives his all for the team and they are all the stronger for it ❤
Perfect summary 🙌🏼
Kwagga is one of the best, his versatility is just unbelievable !!! Go Kwagga !!!
Appreciate the feedback and support 🙌🏼
The complete rugby player. What a player.
@@koosvandermerwe8298 indeed 🙌🏼
Loved Kwagga from the first time I saw him playing for the Lions!
Such a game changer
I had the opportunity to meet Kwagga in person in Pretoria, a little while ago. What a decent and humble human being (something which is dying out in our society).
Kwagga was so kind and considerate and as he walked to his car with his little daughter ro their bakkie; and I was stunned at his humility and sincere humanity. He said "Thank you, I appreciate it and God bless you" when I wished him "Best luck for tomorrow; a day before they played the All Blacks". What an amazing human being and obviously a player which the Boks simply cannot so without; especially at the breakdown. The man is a machine and that machine never never ever runs out of fuel.
I admire this man SO much; obviously both for his game and relentless power; aggression; speed; ball receptance; and ability to read the game and breakdown (in particular) to an exceptional extent which I have never seen in rugby before... EVER. I am almost 50 y.o; but I swear - I diverse player like Kwagga whom can play in any position in the 8'th man pack; and can stand in for anyone in the backline... This man just blows my mind. Much love Kwagga; en gaan fok hulle op; wieookal dit mag wees. Salutes... Your biggest fan.
Jay.
Amazing comment 👏🏼 we appreciate the time you took to write it and what an amazing player he is indeed. Stay tuned for more to come 🙌🏼
I've always rated this guy ever since he was on the 7s circuit! Absolute machine, his workrate is amazing...the energiser bunny!!
agree
Absolutely. He's shown how much 1 man can make a difference 💪🏼
The absolute rugby player ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@Ginger4789 a world class specimen
He reminds me of that Anatoly power lifter guy. So much stronger than he has any business being.
@@nathanballentyne agreed 💯
The answer is YES!! Die yster verdien 'n medalje!!!! Hy is baie misgekyk!!!! Kwagga, hou moed, moenie worrie oor glorie nie, jou spel is in die springbok ondersteuners se harte!!
He should always be a bomb squad player in the Bok team, his best impact on the game
@@wernerswardt7512 makes sense 🙌🏼
Dude gets on the field,demolishes the opposition and leaves the field quietly,you just never see him coming,stocky and built like a German Tank,an underrated match winner without doubt,he is undoubtedly a SUPER BOK.
P.S- i didnt know his real names were Stephanus Albertus Smith,always thought KWAGGA was his real name😂😂Thanks for schooling me.
For now... BOK POWER ALWAYS 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Absolutely right. Haha Kwagga just seems like a better fit anyway
Kwagga an impact man for sure!!
@@DerekChaplin-mu1gc definitely one of the greatest
Love the content❤❤❤
Here to please 🙌🏼🇿🇦
Love it!
@@benjaminmuller9473 appreciate the feedback 🙌🏼
Agreed. One of the most under-appreciated. I think de Allende is most under-rated. He has been stellar for years now. No one seems to notice.
@@graeme8768 we noticed and will sing his praises soon enough
I wouldn't say you're crazy, we had a small flanker call Heinrich Brussow, and he was brilliant!
@@DrCDBDC He was. We remember him, built like an American Pitbull. Poaching skills like few others at the time
Was once said he cud steal a ball thru a keyhole 🤣 Bobby Whatshisname said that during a commentary 😁
@@brucethomson3512 brilliant 🤣
He was ok. A good player when he had the opportunity. But that was it - a very good player.
But; then you get a player like Kwagga... The man just blows my mind on the field.
He just gets on with the job. And does it with distinction.
@@mikespencer4922 well said 💪🏼
another great nickname was "Slap Tjips" - Pieter Rossouw :)
That's a good one 😂
A classic and a great winger
he has long been my fave along with Malcolm
@@stuarth43 both outstanding players
Kwagga is awesome, he's just also in the best bok team so far.
@@eyeofrage7025 he's part of the reason the bok team is the best
Kwagga is a beast! Us South Africans know that!
@@ThabaniTBowseHadebe0909 he sure is 🙌🏼
Some other great nicknames in rugby, Willem Alberts - the Bone Collector
Brian Lima - the Chiropractor
Doppies La Grange
@@Dkouts Nick Cummins as "The honey badger 🦡"
Akker Van Der Merwe as "The angry warthog" 😂
@WatchRugby24 aah yes the honey badger takes it
baksteen nel
@RabbitholeIsrael classic 😂😂
Ox, don’t eat salad? Lol
Yesi agree I have always said that kwagga has been underrated simply by the process selection and his actual plating time we have to totally eradicate the poliitising of our team
He's electric and sniffs out the ball like a blood hound
It's politicizing, and that has to be one of the most ignorant things I've read in a long time.
@@garethedwards1926I'm asking myself pretty much the same question as to where this goblin has been living all along...absolutely shocking.
Kwagga is the ultimate super sub
A man that can truly do it all 💪🏼
Kwagga is one of a kind 🔥
Truly a special breed 🇿🇦🙌🏼
Kwagga one of my favourite players - but I will never forget his red card against the Crusaders. Cost us the final, and we never did manage to win a Super Rugby Trophy. I wonder if he ever thinks about it. But then again great leaders, businessmen, and sportsmen have the ability to put a "bad ball" behind them and concentrate on bowling the next one and take a wicket.
@@dawidmaree5002 without that red card it would've been a very different game
had it not been for the red card do you think the lions would have won?
I have always like Kwagga from the days of the Lions .I have been in many disagreements telling them that his size will not matter I am laughing now. About him starting I think he as better impact coming from the bench but was happy when he started for his 50th test .Can't wait to see him in his up coming tests YOU GO KWAGGA
It's not the size of the man that defines him. Huge amount of respect to Kwagga!
He may not get it outside of SA. But South Africans love him we rate all our players extremely high.
@@sheldinduplessis1424 anyone who underestimates Kwagga does so at their own peril
true south africa loves Kwagga
love the voice!
@@wandilenzuza5323 appreciate it 🙌🏼
Brilliant video
@@glennvanderwesthuizen3316 appreciate the feedback 🙌🏼❤️
great video ! some other rugby nicknames include the Tongan Thor and henry lem honibal
@@greeruguru glad you enjoyed 🙌🏼
As well as Bakkies and os
U kwagga for me is very good and when kwagga come on to the field,he make sure the Boks win,very determine and a fighter
@@countrysongsgeorhe6784 very true
kwagga should start. change my mind
KWAGGA WAS A BRILLIANT 7,S PLAYER TOO
@@annetteelliott1494 yes he was indeed 🙌🏼
A true soldier!
@@gavinshaw6732 the general 🫡
An absolute animal!
@@rolandclaassen655 indeed 💪🏼
as a saffa.. we love this guy.. he I not underrated in SOUTH AFRICA.... he has our hearts
@@oratilemakgaka8411 🙌🏼🇿🇦
Kwagga Smith, Malcom Marx and Grant Williams at the 50 minute mark and the last 20 minutes becomes a painful experience for any opposition
@@Nyana_Ka so true. Can turn a game on it's head
Whether Kwagga starts in the first half or second half, is neither here nor there. Kwagga is simply set on Beast mode!❤
Couldn't have said it better ourselves 🙌🏼🫡
@@WatchRugby24 Let's face it, we look forward to the second half: *Bomb Squad!* Heart rate just quickens and the excitement from seeing the Bomb Squad deployed is intoxicating! 💚💛
Jesse next 🇿🇦
@@heyitsmecherryb he definitely demands a lot of respect
💪
🇿🇦🙌🏼
Lekka Kwagga!❤
Top comment for a top player
Fun fact - Beast Tendawairas nickname was given to him by his teammates because he is, um, well endowed
BEEEEEAAAASST 😂😂
yes deff im a huge fan of kwagga and his work rate didnt even have to watch video for you to explain why hes so good i just know hes a turn over master and a good atta
@@thomassmith3279 hope you did end up watching the video 🙌🏼
@@WatchRugby24 i did ..and i do think i sould not start tho just becaus putting him on fresh against a already tierd team is the right call ..and i think the fact w think hes underated is becaus we still have the old school def of being on the bench on our minds but the boks are realy changing that in agood way where even if your a replacment that doesent mean your lees then but on same level
@@thomassmith3279 appreciate the view and feedback. We agree. He makes such a huge impact off the bench and can fill so many positions with ease it just makes sense to keep him on the bench and bring him on as soon as the opposition drops a level
Siya Kolisi is imo the most underrated player of all time.
@@PooOnF1re we'll definitely dedicate a video to him soon enough
I believe people often overlook how good of a player he is because they focus on him as a person and him as a captain only. but he is a brilliant player
You surely meant the most overrated 😮
@@Mr00422 haha like a black Sam Cane 😆
Kwagga , 2027 rwc champion 💚🇿🇦
Would love to see it 🇿🇦🏆
Kwagga and Melcom Marx are the two best loose ruck ball stealing players in the world and now other teams have started using their brilliant tactics. If you see those two train how to steal a ball after tackle compared to other then you will understand that their on another level.
Truly amazing at the breakdown
kwagga is tops!!! Skrik nie vir koue pampoen! 😂
Tops met ys!
Is there another player who has been as successful in the 15s game after playing sevens for a long period of time? Have your say below
Jonah Lomu played sevens initially but not for too long
Immense upper body strength!
@@hendrikbreed7253 he's a machine 💪🏼
14 kwaggas and 1 kicker. 😊
Hulle wet nie wat on sweet nie.
The magic man. His impact off the bench is otherworldly
My sister who loves the Bokke, likes Kwagga enormously, and says that he is the most beautiful ugly man in world rugby.
@@whps60 brilliant 🤣
Can't leave him out of a bomb squad
@@garywerth326 massive impact of the bench
all the real ones know kwagga has the best battle stats
@@mzanziman9150 all about them stats 📈
A Quagga was a Zebra like animal in Africa, went extinct over a hundred years ago.
@@geoffallen2835 forget about the Goat and start talking about the Kwagga
Only ONE KWAGGA, the others are extinct.
Think we must clone him..
His mother's ugliest son, the most beautiful machine in motion..
KWAGGA !!!!
KWAGGA !!!!
KWAGGA !!!!
🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Definitely not an oil painting but doesn't need to be 💪🏼
Why is this narrated like a WWI documentary?
i love him but he is not a starter. so much more effective in thd reserves
Game changer coming off the bench 💪🏼
Anybody who calls Kwagga a fraud, they are fools.
Agreed 😂
Anyone who calls Kwagga a fraud, just let them play against him.
Kwagga trots!!
@@bremisdiving 🇿🇦🙌🏼
KWAGGA LEGEND 👊
@@stevecoetzee2693 legend indeed 🙌🏼
He remind me Heinrich Brussow
@@Asly65 has some similar qualities for sure
If "Domkrag" was a person....
@@jeancpt 💪🏼😂
Kwagga is much more effective off the bench
@@waynerockman1242 either or he makes a difference
Willie le roux is also unoticed way to much, he literally contributes to like 9 out of 10 tries, when he retires i wouldnt be suprised if he jphas the record for most try assists
Damn dude, did you have to throw an insult towards how attractive Kwagga in there? Such a weird thing to do. Does the attractiveness of player mean something for you?
@@happysaffa8871 only meant as a joke. Trying to add some humour
@WatchRugby24 low hanging fruit.

100%
His cheating stats are in need of upgrade
@@mungogerryjnr 🤣🤣
@ pleased you find it funny
The bok mentality does seem childish
You know,accuse everyone else over cheating and yet you’re the reason why they are doing it,that’s funny isn’t!
What’s something else funny
Crime
Corruption
Racism
Having to live the way you lot do🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Well,at least you can do all that with out cheating
Tell me,every four years you lot are addicted to naming your effort with a catchphrase
What was the last one,something bout been stronger😂
You were better off under apartheid and the stats say that,not me!
What’s the next one going to be?
We want to host the cup?
Sadly you will never host it with those crime stats,why do you think refs are blind,just for one team?
