Israel Dagg - Attacking Crusader

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 เม.ย. 2019
- Israel Dagg recently announced his retirement, which is way too soon for someone who has his skill. He was a tremendous attacker and will be remembered for the way he could cut a defensive line to pieces. He as quick and ran straight with a brilliant swerve to beat the opposition.
He scored some amazing tries, and here are the best of them.
Enjoy and thanks for watching! - กีฬา
i remember he was one of the players that caught my eye when I first got into rugby in 2011
his try assist to nonu in the rwc semifinal was glorious
I love how he runs like a cartoon character
Actually it's true . He runs like a silly cartoon character but it's effective as hell
"I love how he runs like a cartoon character"
Heheh. Who are you thinking of: the Road Runner or Wile Y Coyote?
12:08 I was at this game and Dagg scored in front of me. As he came galloping down the field towards where I was sitting - actually, standing by this time - he looked tired. In fact, he looked completely knackered
One of the greats
Knack of creating space where none was. He was simply brilliant
Excellent editing!
Thanks mate!
Beautiful to watch!
Have to appreciate that slick backline move at 6:05 people!
Always a privilege and fascinating to the see the AB Masters..What a weapon Israel dagg was.. Extremely decisive.He had a quick mind&legs..
On attack he was amazing. A bit suspect defensively. Since I've been watching rugby (I'm 30) only Cullen and Ben Smith have been clearly better in an ABs 15 jersey. Toss up between him and Muliaina.
BTW you have to do a Ben Smith vid. Legend
I'd definitely say Dagg over Muliaina. Mils was a good reliable fullback but didn't create attacks anything like Dagg did, and wasn't anything special in defense either.
Muliaina wasn’t the most flashy player but his defence was solid and he did his job well.. dagg was awesome on attack but defence wasn’t that bad imo thought it wasn’t the greatest and Cullen was just a freak of nature to this day I say he’s the greatest fullback the All Blacks ever produced
Fair enough. I agree that Dagg was an amazing creative attacking player. Injuries really robbed him of having a longer career. At his peak he was a better player than Muliaina. I just think the consistency and longevity that Muliaina counts for something. Definitely not as flashy but was always solid.
I agree that Cullen is the greatest full back the ABs have ever produced. I didn't get to see much of his peak career but just from the highlights it's obvious he was special.
I reckon Ben Smith is very underrated. He almost had no weaknesses as a full back.
For those commenting on his defence, remember that his attack far outweighed his weakness there. He wasn’t great in front on tackling but high ball and positioning was world class. Also, when you have a strong defensive wing, scrum half and a flyhalf like the all blacks usually do, they had great cover in the backfield.
As last line of defence in a test team. You should not have to rely on others to cover for your own defensive inadequacies
great player!
He had a prodigious punt as well. I couldn't believe it when every time the opposition would kick for territory they would end up kicking it to him. What did they think was going to happen?
Love Daggy!
No way! Chur bo. You da man!!
Would love a Dan Carter video 🙌. Keep up the great work
Thanks for the support Trevor. Dan Carter is on his way, watch this space
Real Rugby looking forward to it 👍
Great video can you do one of rupeni caucau please
Now that is a GREAT idea!
His 2011 rugby world cup semi final assist?
We focused on his tries
@@RealRugby We? I'm intrigued! how large is your team?
@@BeardALaCarte Me and my PC! We make a great team... ;-)
The Dagger!!
9:50 lavinini lost his marbles 😂
Best finisher in the game
set the 2011 World Cup alight. Was he not selected for the 2015 World Cup?
He was injured at the time
@@RealRugby I dont think he was? He was available but was dropped, he played for Hawkes Bay in the ITM Cup instead
@@RealRugby was dropped mate
Yes his form at the time was poor so he was dropped

Imagine if more All Blacks had played league. Nz would have dominated both codes. Because dam theres alot ov talented rugby players that dont make the abs squad
SO KING !!!!
Brilliant on attack, but the guy just could Not tackle
Best 15 of all time.
Possibly second. Christian Cullen will always be the greatest:)
I don't think so. Dagg was so much more skillful than Cullen. Cullen only had Dagg for pace.
Calm down. Great player but...
Worst defensive fullback in ABs history. Watch him as last line of defense... He missed 100% of those tackles.
