From an Americans point of view, he runs like a pro football player by the name of Larry Csonka. He was often confused as a offensive lineman due to his size, they both run almost towards opposing players rather then around them. This comparison is written in the highest compliment. I truly enjoy his play, hope he has a long career.
@@martindavis4632 Back home getting spanked by falcons, poor genge needs a better team around him. Fair play to him for wanting to go home and take a pay cut in the process. Us tigers will always love him
Love seeing that clip at 1:50 A prop running up the wing from his own 10m line with a smile on his face knowing he's about 10 levels above anyone on the opposition.
Glad you showed the long pass from Genge. He was a fly half growing up and it shows in his long and short passing, always accurate and sympathetic to the receiver. Putting Hooper on his arse is always entertaining. Doing it to Karevi is different level. 🦏
As an English fan, I’ve always admired Hooper due to his insane tackle technique and being such a ‘smaller’ guy. Pretty impressive to see him sat down considering his tackling ability.
Good step and a good low fend. He's hard to stop. Go low and he'll push you down or step you. Better to go high in some instances and at least you'll break his stride by forcing him to put the bump off on you. Best way to defend him is to get to him early and take his power away from him. Have seen him have many anonymous performances for England when this has happened (and was v poor form between 2019 and 2021 lions tour, hence he didn't get picked).
They just have similar powful forwards like Porter Sheehan Ryan and Furlong who running hard and straight at won't bring the same results as whoever plays for Bath or Northampton
What I love most about Genge is his hands. That Sinkler Genge combo is a sight to see- two props who can carry hard, step, and also give a no look pass. We have really missed that combination, and Genge George and Sinkler work so well together in the middle.
Yeah that's good comparison. Gengehas played at 8 and EJ is al about hybrid players. I can see him doing a lot of No8 work whilst Dombrant slips in beside Smith round the centre when in attack
In recent form I agree. Ardie was virtually unstoppable against Ireland. Genge has come on massively in the past few seasons and I can’t wait to see what he’s like going forward.
@@kirstenflower8937 that’s just not true. He was stopped many times by his opposite number 8 Caelan Doris. Doris equally had a terrific campaign and was in the forefront of everything Ireland did against them and ultimately was on the end of the winning team. Savea was very good though. Classy player.
@@hc8299 better all rounded game? I’d say Genge has a better all round game than all of those player you’ve listed. Only Niche has a better scrummaging prowess
@@battlevgaming9887 Better in the loose maybe. Genge is still wobbly in the tight and gets done by fairly standard opponents on a regular basis at test level. Porter and Furlong are well ahead in terms of the basics, but Genge in the loose is unmatched.
The man just puts his head down and charges for the line like the clock has gone red, and England/Leicester need a try to win the game, even if he’s in his own half.
Gengey and Andrew Sheridan, imo, are England's all time best looseheads (pro era). Big claim that I know, but try scoring, ball carrying looseheads who dominate scrums are going to be more impressive.
Really hard to find players like Genge, he has been in development with EJ and the England camp since 2016. 6 years of learning off pros and holding tackle bags, but he will be the best No1 in a generation.
Isn’t the breakdown a big part of the modern locks job. Eben, Monsert, AWJ, Retallik, Ryan, Itoje all play their roles trying to dominate or get an advantage in the breakdown. All get regularly gets pinged at some point . How is Itoje any different ? Genge like all other props will try and influence refs in the scrums. I don’t see why your criticising an elite rugby player for doing what he should. The great Ritchie Maccaw made a career out of gaining every advantage for his team getting the Jedi knight mantle as a result. I get you don’t like itoje but using gamesmanship when every top lock in the game uses it as a reason to single out a player to criticise just seems a bit churlish.
A Lions front row of 1.Genge/Porter 2.Dan Sheehan 3.Tadhg Furlong has to be the best ball running front row in world rugby. All beasts but all have individual strengths too.
1:15 jouissif de voir Farrell se faire poser comme ça, par un de ses compatriotes en plus... ça lui apprendra à se baisser pour plaquer So joyful to see Farrell put like that, moreover by an international teammate... he should learn to tackle
As the content demonstrates few players are putting effective tackles on Genge . Are you applying your 'learn how to tackle ' on all the players he runs through/ over or does your comment only apply to Farrell ?
@@frostysfreeway2320 I've seen interviews where he has an arrogance about him. He gets himself into trouble on the pitch and has lost matches for his team through him I'll discipline, although that aspect he has improved. His upbringing plays no in my opinion.

Guarantee it’ll be an Irish second/back row. I’m calling JVF, Beirn, or Doris to get it. I think Ardie Savea has been unreal, however I could see someone like Marcus Smith getting it because of the hype. I love Smith as a Quins fan, but Genge has shone this season.
Agree to the above. In opinion can’t look past an Irish player for player of the year… Doris, Beirne, Etc. Tadge Beirne has been consistently one of the best players in the world for years but seems to go under the radar for bigger accolades (I’m an English fan - good rugby fan first, England second!)
In Genge's defence, he's never played against New Zealand and the last 3 match series England played against New Zealand was in 2014, 2 years before his first cap.
Plenty of fans outside England rate him 🙄 He had a great season , he has worked hard on his game, scrummaging, gained a leadership role with England and Leicester. Its just a tribute content on a player . Doesn't mean Genge is being hyped, no more than the numerous Eben Etzebeth tributes .
I thought his discipline this year for England and Leicester was pretty good. Not sure what you mean by bad intention in his actions ? Is that even a thing
This dude is fast becoming one of my favourite players.
I agree sir
Fair thee well
I'm looking forward to him and Sinckler starting together, for Bristol and England hopefully!
Agree even as a Welshman
I just love the lines he picks. Hits it a full tilt, wouldn’t fancy trying to stop him
honestly must feel like getting hit by a car
Me neither and I’m the same size and same position 😂
He has just gone to a completely different level this season

I agree 100%! Not only that he runs at them like he want's to kill them. No glances to the side for the offload. Its me or you buddy... lets go
How can you not love this man as a neutral. Treat him well Bris
He is back home where he belongs

Still remember his big floated pass out to George in the 6 Nations. One of my favourite players in the England setup
As an English fan, I’ve always admired Hooper due to his insane tackle technique and being such a ‘smaller’ guy. Pretty impressive to see him sat down considering his tackling ability.
A man this big and strong has no business being so dynamic and explosive. Such an exceptional player
Matured so much as a player under Jones and Borthwick. Explosive controlled power
This guy is just awesome will always be a fan even tho his shirt has changed, always a Tiger
He has an agression that only comes from calm and control, i love players like that...like botha
Bristol Bears' matches are a must see from next season onwards, one of my favorite players
Genge + Sink's on the front row... Bristol are gonna be scary next season I reckon
This dude is my favourite player!
Why anyone goes high on this man I’ll never know, Leinster kept him quite with chop tackles

Excited to see him in a Bristol shirt this coming season.
I love you’re videos, Speaking on props I would love to see an Andrew porter tribute because there aren’t any of him on TH-cam! Cheers
I'd say he's the second best ball carrier in the world behind Ardie Savea. Happy for people to argue with this though
A few second rows like Etzebeth would be above both for carrying in to contact, but in terms of breaking, he's right up there.
Yeah that's good comparison. Gengehas played at 8 and EJ is al about hybrid players. I can see him doing a lot of No8 work whilst Dombrant slips in beside Smith round the centre when in attack

Jeez, ran straight over the top of Hooper and then Kerevi two weeks in a row. Who does that lmao 😂
No longer a baby rhino, he's fully grown! 🦏
Best prop in the world atm, no discussion it’s a fact.
Best ball carrying prop*
Other better looseheads? I don't think
Furlong, ox nche, furlong, baile, Porter all have a more rounded game then him. Best carrier but the others have a better all court game

Bro I can’t lie I’ve seen some players but Ellis is just different
Great player, starting to peak now
We love Ellis. Beast.
in my day props were built like Brick outhouses and about as mobile. this one is very mobile
The man just puts his head down and charges for the line like the clock has gone red, and England/Leicester need a try to win the game, even if he’s in his own half.
A beast!
If he played like this all the time, he’d be easily the best prop in the world!
If he played poor Premiership teams every week yes
Australia are not a poor premiership team are they? Check your head

His acceleration is incredible
Gotta love baby rino
Ellis Genge perfected the sidestep to seek out the collision. Why look for a gap when you can find a crunch?
You can see why he was tasked with running it up from the backfield against France.
Gengey and Andrew Sheridan, imo, are England's all time best looseheads (pro era). Big claim that I know, but try scoring, ball carrying looseheads who dominate scrums are going to be more impressive.
Man tackle this guy alone and you are just mince meat! Beast!
Can’t wait for him to come back to briz
Welcome 🐻🐻
England needs more players like Genge just getting stuck in and less like Itoje playing at the ragged edge of the rules constantly.
Agree you can’t have a team full of Itoje characters - but any team you would make would take an Itoje.
That’s why I love Curry and Ludlam too. All just classic, traditional forwards that put their heads down
Really hard to find players like Genge, he has been in development with EJ and the England camp since 2016.
