I love the fact that he is seemingly very knowledgeable of American Football. This gives him an interesting angle on the game of rugby, especially where there is overlap between the two sports!
Man, I love your fresh perspective, and that you recognise athleticism and technical skill. I really think you would make a fantastic broadcast rugby commentator. Rugby needs a personality like you. Your enthusiasm and your appreciation and excitement when you recognise amazing athleticism, or skill, or just men being proper men, is absolutely fantastic!
Thanks so much Graham I really appreciate you and your kind comments. It means a lot. I would love to broadcast rugby, that would be the absolute dream for sure Thanks for your love and checking out my videos ❤️🙌🏽
a lot of these player's names are in Afrikaans which developed from Dutch, which is why some of them are so difficult to pronounce. one thing to remember is that in Afrikaans when pronouncing "W", we pronounce it the way you would pronounce "V" in "Volume" we also pronounce "V" like F. So like Henco Van Wyk would be pronounced "Henkoo Fun Vake"
I’m loving your channel. These young men are amazing and we have loads of talented young players. Apart from the fact that rugby is huge here in South Africa, remember who inspires these youngsters, who are their hero’s. Rassie is a very wise man😁🇿🇦
When you get a penalty you can either kick for goal or the touchline, or you can take a tap and run. Taps are preferred close to the opposing goal line when you need more points.
As soon as you watch the schoolboy rugby, you'll understand why we're tops. There was a schools rugby tournament for instance this whole Easter weekend 😍
When you get a penalty, you have 3 options. Kick for the post and get 3 points. Kick for posesion, by kicking it out of the side lines. Tap and go, gaining no possession or points but keep possession of the ball.
You should watch Chasing the sun. Its amazing and It gives a great view behind the scenes and a more personal connection to the players and team culture.
I appreciate you Reaper! It's all good. I appreciate you for all of your support and connection. I've learned a lot from you and we'll continue to have fun and grow together 🙌🏽
You can take the tap or a kick to poles or ask for a scrum or kick the ball out of bounds for an attacking line out throw it all depends on the game situation and the position on the field the penalty was awarded to your team.
So for the school boy please search Luyanda Kunene from maritzburg college and for the tap it’s for something like offside or high tackle of any penalty you can tap and go but the ball must come and like of ur foot
The "tap and go" is an option you can take off of a free kick. Essentially its just a kick. You can kick for touch or open field, tap (kick) and run it or opt for a scrum with your feed in. If you kick out you lose possession though. Only on a kick out off a penalty will you retain the throw in.
You could also take this option off of a full penalty but usually or in practice it is mostly used off a free kick. Most teams will prefer the line-out feed off a kick for touch if you have the throw in on a full penalty.
Your willingness to learn a new game is great. (I believe the USA is a sleeping giant) I am South Africa and I coach primary school rugby. The talent we have here is great, but once you see the development and coaching that takes place from primary (elementary school) school all the way to university, you'll understand why we have such depth. Much like football for you guys over there. I enjoy your videos👌
Massive love Luke. I really appreciate you boss. I love that you coach rugby in South Africa. You have such an incredible nation with so much talent. I'm still getting up to speed with the world of rugby and have been loving the journey. I'm now getting more familiar with your Schoolboy Rugby 🙌🏽 Thanks so much for you kind words and checking out my videos. It means a lot. I'm looking forward to connecting with you more
Hey man. Do you have a video on you and your back story. Are you an NFL coach? How long have you been interested in Rugby? Did you study coaching? It would be interesting to know these things. If coaching isn't your job then it should be. You really know what's what.
Hey JJ! I don't have a video on my backstory currently. I got more interested in rugby this year after my first LRZ video which was completely random. My friend Josh from Wales wanted to get my perspective on a rugby athlete moving into the NFL because I played college football I didn't study coaching or anything. I played football my entire life and really love researching and analyzing. My background is in Computer Science and Mathematics, but my passion is athletic performance, nutrition, and health When I finished football I competed in natural bodybuilding, then Crossfit. Now I train to stay in shape. I appreciate your question. I'll make a background video and talk more about my past for sure Thanks for your kind words and feedback. It means a lot to me. I appreciate you!
Grant Williams already world cup winner 2023. He is currently the fastest player, especially halfback. In the Romania vs. SA, Grant played right wing. Like the majority of the Springboks, the back line, he is also a utility player. Tapping is a free kick option
@QSNgg it is heart warming to see people wanting to learn about rugby. Showing interest in a sport we all love. As South Africans we are a big rugby nation the glue that still keep us together. You really should check out real rugby on TH-cam there you will find pure compilations of all rhe springbok players. Keep an eye out in my we playing walse at Twickenham, then the Ireland 2 tests tour in South Africa and Portugal 1 game. Then November All blacks tour also in South Africa. We have so much new talent joining the ranks it is exciting. I hope you are Watch chasing the sun documentary.
For the little taps you can get from penalties/ free kicks. For any penalty there are 4 options: kick to touch, scrum, kick at posts or tap. Being in the red zone and getting a play like that could push you over as you only have to make five metres. Teams would make decisions depending on where they are on the pitch.
You're really sharp hey. For a non rugby player you got the whole thing quickly!! I'm amazed. Honestly. As far as I know USA has got a rugby team now, think they're called the Eagles?
Thanks so much Anna! I appreciate you and the kind words. Yeah our USA 7s team is really good and our XVs I haven't heard much about. We still have work to do on our rugby in the nations
South Africa has the biggest school boys rugby game in the world!!!!! it is paarl Gimnasium vs Paarl boys High. the staduim holds about 30,000 people and is full every year they play and is watched by even more people on the tv
Another amazing reaction brother🙌🏽💯🫶🏽 Fiji Drua is on their 3rd year in Super Rugby. Their 2nd year the made it to the Quarterfinals and Please can you do some reactions on Drua Best Tires in 2022. You’ll be on your feet the whole time.💯💯💯💯
AH man as a South African, I love your videos. I can't believe your knowledge is already so good just off a few videos. All the other people I watch that react to rugby are well not as smart to put it lightly. So just to clear up some things. Most of the people you saw in this video are ages 20-28. I think Elrigh Louw was the oldest in the video, but people like Sacha Mngumozulu are only 20 years old same with Ruan Venter, Henco Van Wyk, are all under 25 years old which is crazy that they just got out of school. To also explain like the back row and outside back terminology. Outside back is 11,,,,, 14,,,,, and 15. So they can play anywhere in that positions. Back row is 6,,,, 7 ,,,,, and 8. So they can play any of those positions. You get players that you can call versitile, that means they can play almost like anywhere on the field, most of the players come from 7's. which if you don't know sevens is rugby, but with only seven guys and they don't have like the URC tournements and those type of stuff. And to explain some of the jerseys here, In South Africa there are seperate teams, that are not international teams if you understand, Like Pretoria has the Bulls, Cape Town Is the Stormers, Kwazulu-Natal is the Sharks and so on, so all the cities of countries in south africa have a rugby team playing. Those rugby teams hold the international rugby teams players. Like Canan Moodie Plays for the bulls Kurt-lee Arendse also for the bulls, Sacha plays for the Stormers and so on. And some of the big big players like Cheslin Kolbe, go to Japan and play for their rugby clubs, because they get offered a lot of money, but they still play for the Springboks for international test matches. There are a few South African players that have completely moved to other lands, but then they have to have a ID in that land and all that stuff, And they have to live there for like 4+ years. Then they can play for the lands international team like Duhan van Der Mervwe Is south african, but moved to Scotland to play there. The tap and go's you can set up from a penalty, but it is usually only taken when they are close to the try-line
Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and insightful comment! I'm truly humbled by your kind words about my videos and rugby knowledge. It means a lot coming from a South African fan, given your country's rich rugby heritage. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain so many aspects of South African rugby. The information about player ages is fascinating - it's incredible to think that talents like Sacha Mngumozulu and Ruan Venter are still so young! Your explanations of rugby terminology and positions are super helpful. I'll definitely keep the outside back (11, 14, 15) and back row (6, 7, 8) positions in mind for future videos. And thanks for clarifying about versatile players and their connection to Sevens rugby. The breakdown of how South African rugby teams are organized by city and how they feed into the national team is really interesting. It's great to understand how players like Canan Moodie and Kurt-lee Arendse fit into the broader rugby landscape in South Africa. I'm always eager to learn more, so your insights about international moves (like Cheslin Kolbe to Japan) and the rules for playing for other national teams are super valuable. Thanks again for being so awesome and for sharing your knowledge. Comments like yours really help me improve my content and understanding of the game. I'm looking forward to talking to you more!
@@QSNgg Thank you so much for taking your time to respond to me, I am really happy I could help you. Much Respect have a nice day man. I'll keep watching your videos!
South African rugby is Brazilian football right now. Beaming with talent. As usual. I hope manage and help them develop properly. Not all of them will dawn the mighty green and gold, but definitely great prospects.
What's up, QSN. You must go and have a look at Bryan Habana videos. Keep up the good work you buy, far one American who knows what's going on in Rugby, and you're still learning .
Hey Daniel! I have a Bryan Habana video coming out very soon. I appreciate you and your kind words. It means a lot boss 🙌🏽 I'm learning a lot with your help and this incredible community. It's been so much fun!
Another banger, my bro! Glad to see you keeping up with the next gen players, but I'm still waiting for you to check out the older goats Cullen, Carter and Gerber, though 😉 Cullen is my favorite; so you know that says a lot! (make sure you check the Real Rugby channel videos on them). Much peace and love from South Africa as always.
Christiaan my brother!! I appreciate you always boss! I have a Cullen Carter and Gerber video on deck as we speak! I'll get those out for sure! Much love and peace as always! You're the best!
When awarded a penalty which is short for penalty kick, you need to kick the ball. This includes simply putting the ball on the floor and just tapping it with your foot which then counts as a kick. It all depends on what the captain deems will give his team the largest probability of scoring a try. For example, should penalties be awarded closer to the touch line from say anything within 30 meters from the tryline, you'll often see teams kick for touch into the corner which will then give them the throw in at the lineout from where they can set up a maul. Penalties given 5 meter from the tryline and say closer to the centre of the pitch will often result in the captain calling a scrum, but they also have the option of just tapping it and giving it to the big men to burst over the line! I must say, you see more and more teams utilising the 5 meter tap option nowadays (other than at school where there is usually that one massive kid) which was a trend started by the Bulls a few seasons back! The captain also have the option of kicking at goal. This will mean walking back in line from where the penalty was given to give the kicker a reasonable angle to the posts for 3 points vs the potential 7 from a try.
South Africa is a rugby factory. We may not have electricity or running water. But at least we are pumping out future Springboks. --- also we HATE those turquoise kits. It's a disgrace to the green and gold. ----- And it's usually a 5 meter penalty. When the opposing team made error close to their try line. The other team can tap and go. (Usually the quicker the better, other times, it's strategically done slow). The captain can call from a scrum also.
SA is definitely a rugby factor 100%. I see it now that I've been learning more, how powerful a nation you have. It seems I'm the only one that loved the turquoise kits 🤣 Thanks for letting me know about the 5m penalty too Jospeh. I appreciate you always boss
"Is he related to..." (Van der Merwe) Kolbe? I don't rightly know but they're Spiritual Animals with legs made out of lightning. Arendse: I'm a Monster ! Played with him (Arendse) under 14-16 in highschool. Loch Ness is where he was born.
Also called short arm penalty. This is a lesser form of the penalty, usually awarded to a team for a technical offence committed by the opposing side such as numbers at the line-out or time wasting at a scrum. A free kick is also awarded for calling a mark.
Just a quick comment to say that Sam Whitelock is retiring at the end of the season. I think I already listed him as a player to react to. Well, seems like this year is the perfect year to do so!
Has anyone ever recommended to watch Pierre Spies? Hes a 8 th man with FREAKISHLY serious athletic ability. Must have been one of the fastest forwards of all time if im not mistaken. Great athlete to watch in action as he made his way from winger to forward through his career. He comes from a family of track athletes and he had a huge frame to help him negotiate through attempted tackles
If your checking some promising players you should have a look at the future of the Italian national team, they have some really promising players coming through
First we had Gio Aplon then Cheslin Kolbe and now Kurt Lee Arendse, and all of them were mentored by there predesor Gio was was a mentor figure for Kolbe and now Kolbe is a mentor figure for Arendse and you just love to see it man just them bringing that coloured stepping and running rugby we all deserve
Best Nations in World Rigby going by Size, player pool, finances, Trophies (History + Resources) are as follows - New Zealand, South Africa, Wales, England, France, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Argentina, Japan.
Rassie’s coaching history is amazing even before the Boks, same as The late Kitch Kristie.. They were both winners… Rassie won the currie cup ( biggest cup in provincial rugby) for Free State 3 years in a row for a team that hadn’t won it in 27 years and never before that. Kitch won the Super 10 in his day and the Currie cup for Transvaal in those days and never lost a game as Springbok coach to win WC 95 Just a bit of history on coaches at the highest level in this game… To me the 2 greatest ever in rugby
That scrumhalf Grant Williams is the fastest guy in the Springbok squad, he's faster than most wingers. Also, this video didn't have Hacjivah Dayimani (flanker/8th Man for the Stormers) for some reason, he's one of the best young player in SA.
Please watch Lukhanyo Am is class, the man has great skill, logic and amazing at reading the game play! Thank you for watching another South African video. ❤ Again, I love your comments on the players and play. Keep doing what you do! 😊
It gets worse when you realize who they're competing against for the international team. Each player has 2 or 3 others who play just as hard right behind them
Bro AMERICA got the ATHLETES for sure get rugby going on the grassroots at schools you gonna be a powerhouse here in south africa primary schools have under 6 years old teams playing school against school all the way up to college / university. High school you have ie under 12 years with up to three teams under 12 first team second team third team all competing against anorher schools under 12 years olds first second and third teams then the next level is under 15 year olds competing.
Yeah your 100% right about that. We have the athletes, just not the experience and exposure at this point. That's why it's great we now have MLR to help us get more experience in the game to hopefully be able to compete at a high level by 2031 Like you mentioned our schools are dedicated towards football and other sports. We don't have any rugby specific schools and mostly clubs from my knowledge It will be interesting to see if America will ever develop a solid rugby XVs to compete at a high level
Thank you for this content. You really should look at real rugby for compilations. We are very excited for the new and upcoming talent in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦. Excuse the language classes in the comments it is just the nature of South Africans more so the Afrikaans speaking people to correct others. Sorry about that. I am Afrikaans married to a English man and had to learn not to correct him at all times.
I'll 100% check out Real Rugby compilations. Thank you for letting me know Annette! I'm excited to see the prospect you have upcoming with South Africa too! I love the language classes no problem 🤣 It helps me learn so much and I absolutely love it. I'm doing my best to show respect and say things the correct way, so it's very helpful
This is the only american content creator who'm I don't have to explain anything anymore and just purely enjoy his reaction🔥
Ian would love this guy
I love the fact that he is seemingly very knowledgeable of American Football. This gives him an interesting angle on the game of rugby, especially where there is overlap between the two sports!
He is great❤
Also check out Rare Soul Worldwide, he started reacting to rugby videos years ago and is now a full blown fan who understands the sport.
Rare soul worldwide too! Both are great proponents of the sport
Man, I love your fresh perspective, and that you recognise athleticism and technical skill. I really think you would make a fantastic broadcast rugby commentator. Rugby needs a personality like you. Your enthusiasm and your appreciation and excitement when you recognise amazing athleticism, or skill, or just men being proper men, is absolutely fantastic!
Thanks so much Graham I really appreciate you and your kind comments. It means a lot. I would love to broadcast rugby, that would be the absolute dream for sure
Thanks for your love and checking out my videos ❤️🙌🏽
Kurt-lee arendse is the personification of a springbok. Man he is majestic as he runs. Great winger
You said it perfectly!
a lot of these player's names are in Afrikaans which developed from Dutch, which is why some of them are so difficult to pronounce. one thing to remember is that in Afrikaans when pronouncing "W", we pronounce it the way you would pronounce "V" in "Volume"
we also pronounce "V" like F. So like Henco Van Wyk would be pronounced "Henkoo Fun Vake"
I would say "Fun" for Van
Hengkoo Fun Vake
@@HayManned yeah, that would make much more sense. ill change it
And Venter would be pronounced 'Fenter' or 'Phenter'
@@bluessj9k Yeah exactly
I’m loving your channel. These young men are amazing and we have loads of talented young players. Apart from the fact that rugby is huge here in South Africa, remember who inspires these youngsters, who are their hero’s. Rassie is a very wise man😁🇿🇦
Thanks so much Linda! I appreciate you so much! You're 100% right, SA has so much talent and depth it's unreal. Rassie is a genius!!
Proud South African here! 🇿🇦
✌🏻
I have all the love and respect for SA ❤️🇿🇦
Same here🙋♂️
When you get a penalty you can either kick for goal or the touchline, or you can take a tap and run. Taps are preferred close to the opposing goal line when you need more points.
Thanks for letting me know that Jerry!
As soon as you watch the schoolboy rugby, you'll understand why we're tops. There was a schools rugby tournament for instance this whole Easter weekend 😍
I have a schoolboy video coming out soon!
@16:37 that's why they're called springbok🐐🐐😊
I love that!
im getting into rugby myself and im loving the sport and these vids
A few of these guys actually played in the recent match against Wales
Yeah and they showed up big time! Sacha, Edwill and Evan all did AMAZING!
When you get a penalty, you have 3 options.
Kick for the post and get 3 points.
Kick for posesion, by kicking it out of the side lines.
Tap and go, gaining no possession or points but keep possession of the ball.
Thanks for letting me know that! I appreciate you!
The future is big for south Africa we have Canan Modie, Kurt lee arendse,manie libbok
Some incredible talent coming out of SA
You should try reacting to South African warcries, performed before Rugby Tournaments in south Africa!
Mostly by All boys schools
I will check out SA warcries for sure. Thanks for the suggestion Leecia
You should watch Chasing the sun. Its amazing and It gives a great view behind the scenes and a more personal connection to the players and team culture.
I will for sure! I have to get it from the SA broadcast channel since it won't show here in America
Thanks for this man!
You're welcome and thanks for your support always 🙌🏽
Great reaction. From a South African, respect. I love that more Americans get involved in this game that we love so much!!
Much love Dean! I appreciate you! I have all the love and respect for rugby, South Africa, and the incredible rugby community. Such a beautiful sport
I have known Cameron hanekom for a couple of years he was at my house like a month ago great player
That's so awesome Zhexs!
The craziest thing is your future keeps getting better,now we have Sascha,Edwin etc.
Sas that so many ppl dont subscribe to this channel. Your reactions and commentary make this my favorite sports channel at the moment
I appreciate you Reaper! It's all good. I appreciate you for all of your support and connection. I've learned a lot from you and we'll continue to have fun and grow together 🙌🏽
You can take the tap or a kick to poles or ask for a scrum or kick the ball out of bounds for an attacking line out throw it all depends on the game situation and the position on the field the penalty was awarded to your team.
Thanks for letting me know know that. I appreciate you!
‘He’s not the most graceful being…’ brilliant comment. 😆
🤣 I appreciate you Graham ❤️
My dog!!! You’re killing it! So proud!
Much love big Clark! I appreciate you always boss!! ❤️🙌🏽
A penelty is when you can kick for touch kick for goal or tap
Thanks for letting me know that! That makes sense now
Hope you check out Daniel Carter soon. He has the most points when it comes to kicking for points but he was also an amazing all-round great player.
Yes I have a Dan Carter video coming out soon! Hope you're doing well Ricardo! Always love hearing from you boss!
@QSNgg Awesome. I'm doing good, hope you're doing good as well.
Great vid. Just subscribed. Keep up the good work and we will keep producing great rugby player.
Much love Wes! I appreciate you! Thanks for subbing as well. Welcome to the Qrew. I'm looking forward to connecting with you more 🙌🏽
A tap comes from either a penalty or free kick (free kick is given due to a scrum collapsing)
Thanks for letting me know that. That makes more sense now
So for the school boy please search Luyanda Kunene from maritzburg college and for the tap it’s for something like offside or high tackle of any penalty you can tap and go but the ball must come and like of ur foot
I will check out Luyanda Kunene for sure Camerons. Thanks for letting me know
Another suggestion for you to watch is Seabelo Senatla. Mostly a sevens rugby player, but speed and skill on another level!
I'll for sure check out Seabelo!
The "tap and go" is an option you can take off of a free kick. Essentially its just a kick. You can kick for touch or open field, tap (kick) and run it or opt for a scrum with your feed in. If you kick out you lose possession though. Only on a kick out off a penalty will you retain the throw in.

That makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for letting me know that. Very helpful 🙌🏽
With the tap if you get a penalty you can choose to go for poles or tap or kick out then its you line-out you can also choose to scrum
That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for letting me know Lindie

Thanks again for being so awesome and for sharing your knowledge. Comments like yours really help me improve my content and understanding of the game. I'm looking forward to talking to you more!
@@QSNgg Thank you so much for taking your time to respond to me, I am really happy I could help you. Much Respect have a nice day man. I'll keep watching your videos!
Much love brother ❤
Much love Hay! I appreciate you always 🙌🏽❤️
South African rugby is Brazilian football right now. Beaming with talent. As usual. I hope manage and help them develop properly. Not all of them will dawn the mighty green and gold, but definitely great prospects.
You said it perfectly!
What's up, QSN.
You must go and have a look at Bryan Habana videos.
Keep up the good work you buy, far one American who knows what's going on in Rugby, and you're still learning .
Hey Daniel! I have a Bryan Habana video coming out very soon. I appreciate you and your kind words. It means a lot boss 🙌🏽
I'm learning a lot with your help and this incredible community. It's been so much fun!
Another banger, my bro! Glad to see you keeping up with the next gen players, but I'm still waiting for you to check out the older goats Cullen, Carter and Gerber, though 😉 Cullen is my favorite; so you know that says a lot! (make sure you check the Real Rugby channel videos on them). Much peace and love from South Africa as always.
Christiaan my brother!! I appreciate you always boss! I have a Cullen Carter and Gerber video on deck as we speak! I'll get those out for sure! Much love and peace as always! You're the best!
@@QSNgg Awesome man, looking forward to it; take care bro! 👊💪
When awarded a penalty which is short for penalty kick, you need to kick the ball. This includes simply putting the ball on the floor and just tapping it with your foot which then counts as a kick. It all depends on what the captain deems will give his team the largest probability of scoring a try. For example, should penalties be awarded closer to the touch line from say anything within 30 meters from the tryline, you'll often see teams kick for touch into the corner which will then give them the throw in at the lineout from where they can set up a maul. Penalties given 5 meter from the tryline and say closer to the centre of the pitch will often result in the captain calling a scrum, but they also have the option of just tapping it and giving it to the big men to burst over the line! I must say, you see more and more teams utilising the 5 meter tap option nowadays (other than at school where there is usually that one massive kid) which was a trend started by the Bulls a few seasons back! The captain also have the option of kicking at goal. This will mean walking back in line from where the penalty was given to give the kicker a reasonable angle to the posts for 3 points vs the potential 7 from a try.
That makes perfect sense! Thanks so much for the incredible and detailed breakdown Ostricks! I appreciate you. This is extremely helpful
@@QSNgg You are most welcome!
South Africa is a rugby factory. We may not have electricity or running water. But at least we are pumping out future Springboks. --- also we HATE those turquoise kits. It's a disgrace to the green and gold. ----- And it's usually a 5 meter penalty. When the opposing team made error close to their try line. The other team can tap and go. (Usually the quicker the better, other times, it's strategically done slow). The captain can call from a scrum also.
SA is definitely a rugby factor 100%. I see it now that I've been learning more, how powerful a nation you have. It seems I'm the only one that loved the turquoise kits 🤣
Thanks for letting me know about the 5m penalty too Jospeh. I appreciate you always boss
95% subscribe rate !
Kevin Har: DAMN !!!
🤣🤣🤣 You gon' learn today!
"Is he related to..." (Van der Merwe)
Kolbe?
I don't rightly know but they're Spiritual Animals with legs made out of lightning.
Arendse: I'm a Monster !
Played with him (Arendse) under 14-16 in highschool. Loch Ness is where he was born.
Incredible athletes in SA!
12:27, when there is a penalty, you can choose a scrum , tap and go , kick for a touch or a penalty kick
Thanks for letting me know that Joshua! I appreciate you
Also called short arm penalty. This is a lesser form of the penalty, usually awarded to a team for a technical offence committed by the opposing side such as numbers at the line-out or time wasting at a scrum. A free kick is also awarded for calling a mark.
You should watch south african school boy rugby and bakkies botha the real enforcer
I have both video coming out very soon 🙌🏽
Must watch u will enjoy rhe chasin the sun 1 and 2
Best wver sport documentaries.
Yes I'll check out Chasing The Sun 1 and 2 for sure. That's been on the list for awhile now
Just a quick comment to say that Sam Whitelock is retiring at the end of the season. I think I already listed him as a player to react to. Well, seems like this year is the perfect year to do so!
Thanks for letting me know he's retiring Leslie! I appreciate you! I'll check him out more and learn about Sam
love the vids
Much love! I appreciate you!
Roos needs to work on his temper,I think Habekom is a better option.Grant Williams was the fastest player in the 2023 RWC squad.
I'm going to definitely check out all them players in more detail for sure
Has anyone ever recommended to watch Pierre Spies? Hes a 8 th man with FREAKISHLY serious athletic ability. Must have been one of the fastest forwards of all time if im not mistaken. Great athlete to watch in action as he made his way from winger to forward through his career. He comes from a family of track athletes and he had a huge frame to help him negotiate through attempted tackles
Yeah I have Pierre Spies in the queue to check out. I've heard he's incredible! We'll get a video out there soon of Pierre
If you like Cheslin and Kurt-Lee go and watch Gio Aplon. Hes was probably the pioneer "small" guy in South African rugby.
I have a KLA video coming out soon and I'll check out Gio!
Henko van Wyk
Pronounced: Henk-oh fun Vake
Good video, keep it up.
Thanks so much for letting me know the correct pronunciation Ceva! I'll work on it 🙌🏽
Hey there just a small TIP on Afrikaans pronunciation, we pronounce a letter 'V' with F,, a 'W' with a V, good reaction as always by the way
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate you! I'll work on my pronunciations 🙌🏽
If your checking some promising players you should have a look at the future of the Italian national team, they have some really promising players coming through
Very great suggestion thank you! I'll check out the Italian nation for sure
First we had Gio Aplon then Cheslin Kolbe and now Kurt Lee Arendse, and all of them were mentored by there predesor Gio was was a mentor figure for Kolbe and now Kolbe is a mentor figure for Arendse and you just love to see it man just them bringing that coloured stepping and running rugby we all deserve
First we had Breyton Paulse , then Brent Russel then Gio Aplon then everyone who came after . I think Edvil vd Merwe may be next .
So many incredible athletes in your nation
Best Nations in World Rigby going by Size, player pool, finances, Trophies (History + Resources) are as follows - New Zealand, South Africa, Wales, England, France, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Argentina, Japan.
And when it comes to the hoghest of Level, Springboks are ahead of everyone.
They are definitely in line to take over NZ.
I love this breakdown Truth. Thank you!
Check out Jorenzo Julius aka the Boogeyman, he was a schoolboy BEAST. Defo one for the future for SA
I'll check out Jorenzon for sure thank you
for continuaty Rassie will need to be in the picture or someone in his calabre as a coach...
Yeah I'm going to have to watch Chasing the Sun to learn more about Rassie and team
Rassie’s coaching history is amazing even before the Boks, same as The late Kitch Kristie..
They were both winners… Rassie won the currie cup ( biggest cup in provincial rugby) for Free State 3 years in a row for a team that hadn’t won it in 27 years and never before that.
Kitch won the Super 10 in his day and the Currie cup for Transvaal in those days and never lost a game as Springbok coach to win WC 95
Just a bit of history on coaches at the highest level in this game…
To me the 2 greatest ever in rugby
Yes the tap is awarded after a standard infringement
Thanks for letting me know that
7:14 you are probably thinking about Duhan van de Merwe and no they are not related, but Duhan was born in South Africa.
Yeah I was thinking that until I saw him
That scrumhalf Grant Williams is the fastest guy in the Springbok squad, he's faster than most wingers. Also, this video didn't have Hacjivah Dayimani (flanker/8th Man for the Stormers) for some reason, he's one of the best young player in SA.
Grant Williams is exceptional! I'll check out Hacjivah Dayimani. Thanks for letting me know Arno
Please watch Lukhanyo Am is class, the man has great skill, logic and amazing at reading the game play! Thank you for watching another South African video. ❤ Again, I love your comments on the players and play. Keep doing what you do! 😊
I'll 100% check out Lukhanyo Am! Thanks so much for the recommendation. I appreciate your love and support always Katelynn 🙌🏽
To pronounce Henco Van Wyk's name, do the following: Fun Vake
Thanks for letting me know! I'm working on my Afrikaans pronunciations so I get it right
a tap can be taken at a penalty or free kick (half arm)
Thanks for that. Makes sense now
Christian Cullen, The Pakirikiri Express... No words if you think Cheslin is good
I have a Christian Cullen video coming out very soon. I appreciate you Bjorn 🙌🏽
It gets worse when you realize who they're competing against for the international team. Each player has 2 or 3 others who play just as hard right behind them
So much talent in one nation! Creates great competition
Grant Williams was the fastest rugby player in the previous world cup,absolute speed demon
I thought so, many would still presume Louis Reez-Zammit was or Reiko Ioane
I'm going to check Grant Williams out
@@QSNgg thanks man, please check out Daniel Carter as well, New Zealand's best fly-half ever, dare I'd say as a South African, the best ever!!
Trip with feet is illegal, you are allowed to ancle tap a player.
Yeah I figured the trip was illegal. That's no good right ther
React to NRL, you going to love it.
I'll check out NRL for sure!
Please do one for Lukanyo Am. And one for Damian Willemse
I'm doing a video on both of them for sure. Thank you!
You should react to Kurt lee arendse he is basically another Kobe
I have a KLA video coming out very soon!
React to bryan Habana he was a winger for the springboks
I have a video of Habana coming out very soon 🙌🏽
@@QSNgg ok thank you🐐
dope content
Much love I appreciate you!
I may be wrong but I heard Grant Williams is quicker than Kolbe
I can see that being true. Grant Williams is shorter from what I can tell and he's very very quick!
Bro AMERICA got the ATHLETES for sure get rugby going on the grassroots at schools you gonna be a powerhouse here in south africa primary schools have under 6 years old teams playing school against school all the way up to college / university.
High school you have ie under 12 years with up to three teams under 12 first team second team third team all competing against anorher schools under 12 years olds first second and third teams then the next level is under 15 year olds competing.
Yeah your 100% right about that. We have the athletes, just not the experience and exposure at this point.
That's why it's great we now have MLR to help us get more experience in the game to hopefully be able to compete at a high level by 2031
Like you mentioned our schools are dedicated towards football and other sports. We don't have any rugby specific schools and mostly clubs from my knowledge
It will be interesting to see if America will ever develop a solid rugby XVs to compete at a high level
Henco Fun VEEyk ( pronounced like that!)
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate you! I'll work on my pronunciations 🙌🏽
Yet everyone hates SA because their frontline and backline are next level...keep being a fan!
I have all the love and respect for SA and the Boks ❤️🇿🇦
South Africa vs Ireland is coming up...
I'm excited for that one
Thank you for this content. You really should look at real rugby for compilations.
We are very excited for the new and upcoming talent in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦.
Excuse the language classes in the comments it is just the nature of South Africans more so the Afrikaans speaking people to correct others. Sorry about that. I am Afrikaans married to a English man and had to learn not to correct him at all times.
I'll 100% check out Real Rugby compilations. Thank you for letting me know Annette!
I'm excited to see the prospect you have upcoming with South Africa too!
I love the language classes no problem 🤣 It helps me learn so much and I absolutely love it. I'm doing my best to show respect and say things the correct way, so it's very helpful
13 Kurt-Lee Arendse please (KLA)
Thanks for letting me now Anna! I appreciate you!
It penalty's that gives the tap and goes
That makes a lot of sense now thank you!
Number 8 is front row
Thanks for letting me know that Reaper! I appreciate you!
Please do a reaction video of Chassing the Sun 2 or Rassie Erasmus
Yes I will for sure! I'm starting season 1 this week and then will watch part 2
Roos is 6'3, 240

You need to check out Damian Willemse
I am 100% checking out Damian. I'm doing a video on him this week
@@QSNgg only 25 and the youngest player to win the World Cup 2 times. Probably one of the most talented young players around
Van wyk is pronounced
Fan-veyk

Thanks for letting me know the correct pronunciation
You can tap like that when it's a penalty
Thanks for letting me know that I appreciate you
🏆🏆🏆🏆....🏆
Much love Chris!! I hope you had a great weekend!
Henco van Wyk = Henco fun vape (but k instead of p)
Thanks for letting me know that! I'll work on the correct pronunciations
Van wyk is pronounced van vike
W most of the time is pronounced V
Thanks for letting me know that! I was butchering the names
