Hardout! he played couple first grade games at centre. But the centres he was going up against at the time were real good. He defs learned alot from that experience and is now one of the best centres for union
@@JessieTrainorLVegas they need a power runner. weve always had power runners that free up the centres and wingers. weve been lacking that for years now
Dude, so many X factor players this happens to. Piutau, Lowe, Laumape, Hosea Gear etc. etc. endless list of great players with X factor that get frustrated and leave.
He always played with a chip on his shoulder and was pretty dirty at times. Rumour has it he wasn’t very well respected by team mates and opposition alike
You’re right, he could end up possibly making the all blacks in the future. Hopefully the Hurricanes sign him. He would be a great fit after Conrad Smith and Nonu finish up there.
I'd like to see how he would match up against hunter Paisami . Both similar size . Lumape is a great tackle breaker, but Paisami hits very hard in contact
@Bootyjoose2117 says who you lol few all blacka went to Europe then came back and made all Blacks. Ben Smith, SBW they go their to make the money retirement is Spain or America I know these guys grew up with them all. He's still good enough to come back to ABs if they open up player selection to over seas like some want to do
Its ashame PNBHS couldnt keep they 4th graders out of trouble cause theur was alot more similar to his takentvone they let go to keebra park was nganis side kick bigger then ngani too and a few others just left all ended up in jail for assaults and burgs. Was suppose to be Manawatu super team coming up with how stacked they were
Turns out it was the ABs that got it wrong lol got rid of the only go-forward back we had. Ended up getting mauled by Ireland and SA backline that year ABs let go of him
Awesome player and all, but no Ma'a Nonu and Laumape just seems to have an attitude which I dont think is the right attitude for the All-Blacks. Something not right about the guy. Anyway, NZ will find another Ma'a Nonu one day, not bothered by it. As for Laumape, stay in the UK, France or wherever you are, your one bitter dude who actually hates NZ, if you read what the nutjob has to say.
@@markcourtney2205 I wasn't worried about his skill. I fully understand that he wasn't the best for the All blacks team at that time and he didn't have what the team needed, Kicking ability versatility in the backs for courage, and defensive reads and also a combination pair. But that's what I've just read or seen from TV. I just want to see where he said that he hates NZ because that's pretty harsh statement especially if you saying there's evidence, that's what I'm interested in not that he's in Europe or not good enough for the All black's.

The plank got me in fits 😂😂😂
What a freak! He's got it all
Not one pass was thrown in the making of this highlight package.
Lol
He only started to learn passing at Hurricanes.
The time mohawks mullets were the shit i feel so old lol
Kiwi haircut bruss
This was the fia pretty boy poly haircut 🤣
@Yes but No 😂😂😂
It's alright. They're back now.
@@MobKnowledge 😅
He was alright in the NRL under 20s. No way near the best in that comp but he grew a lot after that
Did he play warriors u20's?
Yo..I went to the game he played against roger sheck in roosters under 20's..he was all over sheck aggressively in his face..he's up thr bro..

@@wilhelmbanse615 What is the NRL
He has enormous physical qualities, but at this time, he could have pass the ball much more
He didn’t need to🤣
And that’s the main reason why he doesn’t get picked for the All Blacks bro
@KK-xy6gv exactly. Wouldnt you pass to your best player as much as you can lol
@jasinmarch8240 sounds like you know it all, he didn't get picked because of his attitude niggas has crip tatted on his back since he was 12 lol
With all due respect, I think he is the answer to the current mid field crisis the all blacks is facing.
he was too small and a liability on the defensive end.
@@JessieTrainorLVegas they need a power runner. weve always had power runners that free up the centres and wingers. weve been lacking that for years now
At least give the toko a looser fitting kit
@@razbest nah cause he can hardly breath
Lol remember the planking challenge at 0:36
One of those players who was mistreated by NZRFU ending up plying his trade overseas and would be picked for any international side
Exactly!

Seriously?

He has stopped playing now.
@@bighardman33 why

He would have been a gun runner back in gridiron as well

He should've went to nfl. Don't have to pass over there

Nah palusami is trash
Nah…hunter would come off second best.
Nah Laumpape and Kerevi more like
Na, put him up against Manu Tuilagi.
@@antology7 manu is probably the strongest centre in the business. Not many guys as quick as him with that kind of bulk to their frame
Most humble player in rugby definitely
Hahaha good 1
@@whothefukisthis ha ha yeah I know lolzies
A few of them had good school boy reputations.....Ngani Laumape, Solomone Kata, Konrad Hurrell, Sevu Reece etc....
All waste the time hahaha
Crazy now he playing retirement grade footy already
Retirement grade footy? Idk what you have bee watching but he could easily still be in SR killing it mate
@@PepeAgain1025 the Europe competition is considered retirement grade footy for accomplished all blacks, no doubt he’s capable of playing in sr
@@Bootyjoose2117 No it’s just where the big money is for them, they go their after they’ve decided to stop wanting to be an All Black

Also a plank? smh

I don't mean this as an insult to Lamape but ad good as he was he couldn't hold down a rugby spot.

lets go palmy
he should never have been dropped form the allblacks, so they could take 3 injured mid fielders
All Blacks messed up not selecting him for last World Cup , now their midfield is weakest it’s been in past 20 years
Pretty standard, didnt pass it back then still doesn't
don't think kids should be playing with people that size, very dangerous
Shut up
Laumape thinks he is Nonu🤔
He was a midfielder and yet he never passed the ball 😂 No wonder he didn’t last long in the All Blacks
Turns out it was the ABs that got it wrong lol got rid of the only go-forward back we had. Ended up getting mauled by Ireland and SA backline that year ABs let go of him
Ireland? How did they go in the world cup?@@Mrlovalova200
Great with ball in hand, but with todays laws he’s going to have to learn to bend at the hips to make tackles…
Looks like a future ram-raider.
Tuitopou would snap him
You know everything aye lol shartup
Pffft Classic case of a guy who could never step up to the international level.
Good at school boy level, that’s it.
He never really got a chance to prove himself at international level
He was an all black FYI
@@SHORTS_N_SHIRTS again a guy who couldn’t make the cut at international level, hence why he got dropped after 2 chances!
