I have no clue what this sport is, or what everyone here is talking about... but its awesome! New favorite sport to watch. Its like all of the popular USA sports but thrown into 1. Love it. ❤️
Honestly that was some shocking defence. Said it earlier How does Dombrant get handed off in the end. He had a terrible 6N. Yes VDM finished but that last tackle going high was bizarre
I'm not much of a sports fan, but I would love nothing more than to see more of this. This beats any American 'sport' any day of the week, by miles. The speed and power is so visceral, fucking magnificent athleticism.
Agree, once they started tipping over established teams, Jaguares and sunwolves were no more... jokes, I know it was covid. But would of liked to see then return to super rugby.
Great video, there’s a Pete Horne try around 2013 v Northampton Saints where he wins it at the death with a mazy run from his own half. Also, anything Niko Matawalu used to do as well was pretty special!
not an avid watcher of Rugby, granted, but the laymen's eye, that guy breaking through, i dont know, 5 tackles or so, was insane. Should've been the ender imo. Nothing topped it.
Always happy to see Nadolo in a highlights reel. Also the Duhan VDM try has some of the best commentary on it. It's just a commentator who's lost his mind and totally forgotten his job because something special was happening.
@@davequiquegg Well that was men against boys.......remember watching that game at school. Massive Gulf in size class speed power. Just when the game was turning pro.
Great collection from different countries and a mix of defence and attack. A couple I'd add from a Kiwi perspective is Ben Smith chasing down Tuilagi, getting up and winning a penalty by getting over the ball and Kirwan running through Italy in 1987. Doh just seen part 2.
Great vid! I have two suggestions, if you ever fancy making a part 2: Fofana try against England in Twickenham in 2012, and Dusautoir smashing Jerry Collins in the QF of the 2007 RWC.
As an Australian I was just waiting for one of the clips to be of us not getting bodied and I thought I finally had it with the last clip. We got destroyed
Pretty sure it wasn't. I remember going through the highlights and seeing multiple angles of that tackle. Koroibete got lucky he wasn't called for not wrapping in the tackle. It was a very dangerous tackle at that speed. I think there may have been a tussle that formed after that tackle between the Springboks and Aussies over that tackle actually.
I could be wrong about the tussle but the tackle even if the case was made that the Aussie tried to wrap is kind of due to the tackle being made while the player was in air. It's just a hard call to make if it was legal or not due to the airtime. Cause a tackle on an aerial player is supposed to be illegal but technically you're not supposed to jump over a tackle in some leagues so idk.
Phew, for a moment I thought you wouldn't put a Lomu moment in there. Truth be told, you could do an episode of these for Lomu, Cullen and Dupont, their highlights are out of this world.
That Koroibete try saver was some shite if you ask me, zero arms in the attempt to tackle, basically dove at Mapimpi. But then again, I am a Saffa, so it could be bias
Piutau for Bristol against Northampton last season has to be up there! Ran through about 6 defenders and puts a perfect kick in for his teammate to score!
Never under rated. I wanted to call my son Cullen the wife put a stop to it. He was the best ever. God we were spoilt back then rugby has really become bland with too much control and too much safety rather than to risk.
@@tomorrow3582 Can you remember back in the day late 90s when he was kicked the ball no matter where he was on the field he was so dangerous you were on the edge of your seat. He could score from anywhere at any time. a true athlete. He wide arcing runs and balance with pace has never been matched. And there are many many amazing 15s out there.
1:38 Imagine if these two guys were left alone for a bit longer. My man in red would have carried both the ball and the other guy to the goal. That was hilarious to watch
SA vs Aus at 4:20 isnt a legal tackle(no hands involved), so why is it in the Video??And just that you know the test match after that Aus 11 tried that tackle again and was put on his A$$
*Football is a gentlemans game played by hooligans while Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen* Found this quote somewhere and i really liked it
The only thing more powerful in rugby that being the only one on the field who can actually run... is being the only one on the field with a brain :D both things are rare though in a game that literally allows tripping and celebrates it as some kind of heroic accomplishment :P

Even as an Irishman, Dupont's Try-saving tackle on Hansen is probably my favourite Try-saver of all time.
You hate to love it but you can’t help it
I don't think there's anyone anywhere who's not French that isn't amazed at DuPont's ability, I wish he was English.
In fairness, Hansen isn't the biggest guy and was backtracking. I mean, it was a good tackle, but nothing more.

That referee speed at @2:05 pure astonishing.
Even as a South African, that Jonah Lomu BULLDOZING over Mike Catt from England in the 1995 World Cup was absolutely ICONIC!
RIP JONAH LOMU!!! 🙏🏻🇳🇿
1:53 Pure speed!!! ...from the referee I mean
Seriously. Even accounting for the players' curved paths, he had to be going at least 90% of their speed
Reckon he's faster than half the team
That Arundell try will never get old
How he checks and keeps his pace is special.

What insane stamina these men must have

For real. Especially considering that they are typically built heavier than (for example) football players
@Alex.Ost.2001 talking about futbol (soccer) because they are built like safeties, WRs and LBs in football.

Why this sport is not more popular?… this is 100 times better than American football!
Yep, 10min break after 40mins, no helmets and no big pads but all the big hits
Right the best part about it is the lack of political agendas being pushed down our throats
Worst game i ever seen
Lmao, no. Not even close
it is much more popular just not in america

Around 3:00 the number 14 getting a new speed and frightening everybody out of his way was something else!
