Gifted player, combined with the work ethic. Interesting to hear that he struggled with confidence - from the outside looking in - he had it all. If not for the horror run of injuries, it is likely that he would have been one of our great centres
As a Mooloo and Chiefs guy, I was a massive fan of Richard Kahui. Great player when on the paddock, and blessed with good genes. I remember going to CHC in 2011 and seeing posters of Kahui, DC and SBW as All Blacks in the airport. Good looking lads those boys... In my U19 year got to play Tokoroa Pirates, they were great hosts after smashing us on the field. Excellent podcast Jimmy.
RK was a phenomenal 13/11. After his injury in 2009 I think he had a stink of a season in SR after rehabing. Couldn't catch a cold. He was picked on the bench to play Wales, came on and tore it up. Even TJ in the coms box called it out. Also, fun fact, my Canadian wife had a huge crush on RK. I messaged Weetbix to see if I could get a copy of his card. The liaison officer had a friend in the Chiefs and got me a signed photo for my wife. Forever grateful. For the photo and that the wife didn't leave me for him. 😉.
Richard Kahui exactly what the all blacks have miss since maa nonu someone the put fear in the opposition from running straight similar to what Steph Dutoit was doing against Jordie at World Cup
Its outrageous people were so crazy-nasty to Stephen Donald after that HK Bledisloe??!!#** Mooloo country! 🤐 tf is wrong with them? Worse still, that he took it so much to heart - - - poor lad, one for the "bucket" right there! Man a common thread, I've noticed through nearly all the interviews, is the toll being an AB takes on the body, the brand does so much for our country, up the players 🖤for what they give to it? It's interesting how when your guest was having constant injuries he also admits (if I have timelines correctly) that he had a more anxious mindset, then with confidence that comes with age & experience in later years and less pressure on himself --- he clocks a hundred games plus for the Western Force?! A bit airy-fairy for the "jersey" I know, but there are philosophies out there about mental patterns and injury etc! (But for sure it's a tough game, if not the toughest). Sad Richard Kahui has been plucked out of the NZ gene pool! Damn Ozzies! (ha Yeah, Na, good on her!) cheers What a Lad ✔ Like and Subscribe Mothe...............ers 😊
@@whataladpodcast yeah sorry for goin' on & on. But remember, they're the only people I'll listen too 😲 Have been stuck at home by myself with the ol' 'rona half the last month doesn't help!.
Crazy that he struggled with confidence. Great player deserved the World Cup
@@cairneysau9826 yea always appeared so confident! Special player

@@richardyoung4405 yea the lack of confidence surprised me to but just goes to show you never know how these guys are feeling on the inside
Crazy to hear the injuries! Imagine if he was injury free!
Oh would have been one of the all time greats!

How good! Cheers mate
What a good guy, sports injuries are cruel. He is a great speaker and very good to listen to.

@@Jakethemuss35 😂😂
Loved this. Top man!
@@trailrunningexperience496 🙌
Such a good pod should definitely get the original 2011 back three bomb squad back together !
How good was the bomb squad! He was the last one I needed to get on but getting them on together would be a laugh!
Great listen, good bloke. We use to live close to his Hamilton house... and we would toot every time we drove past.
@@jezza8139 😂😂
Thanks for your boots after the 2011 World Cup final
Legend 👍
@@bensamson4725 😳
He was such a talented player. Used to enjoy his battles with Nonu
As a Hurricanes Fan think he got the better of Nonu in a few of those exchanges
@@deeessaye5583so much talent and so tough! Too tough for his own shoulders unfortunately
Love how this bloke play,,good outside centre
@@DeeSenileba soo good!
Hearing about Richard's son really hit a nerve. Hope he's getting all the help he deserves on the GC
@@TheLIMREPORT yea family first!
SOLID GOLD!
Whatta “DAD”!❤️💛🖤
@@Tickleup What a Dad!
Mate, sad to hear the amount of injuries he had. Such a great player. Wondering what happened to him?
@@MultiBoomboombaby injuries can be brutal!
My all time favourite mid-fielder of all time, unfortunate with all the injuries.
Bula from fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯
@@Aiyahh679 so unfortunate with the injuries!
Bula 🇫🇯
Lea Panapa be flicking the bean to this one
Let me know your favourite part of this one in the comments 🙌
Blown hamstring or not, nobody was taking over Snakey as the number 1 centre. Kaks was definitely a weapon though
The most beautiful rugby union ever #GOAT
Must be a hard life wit God gifted beauty 😂
😂 he's the GLOAT
He could hit!!! Conrad snakey smith mould… blardy tufff 😤
@@mhh8072 yea it would’ve been interesting to see them battle it out if Kahui stayed injury free!

Also the hottest chief of all time
Probably player of all time?
