Helped look after Wasps back in the day - my god this man drank. Pints of bacardi topped with dash of coke - for "taste"
Great guy, funny guy, complete headcase with a heart of gold
He played in that legendary match vs Toulouse
I really do agree with that.
Rather be his team mate and friend than the opposition...This guy is a straight badass
💯🔥
Everyone seems to forget the time period - I miss this level of tenacity in rugby, it's a far cleaner game now but I miss the punch ups and ruthless tackling technique's.
You forgot that many did not forget
Played against and have been coached by him.Needless to say that I’m lucky to have been around him when I had the chance
My brother played with him in the 90s and loved him. Said he used to giggle while squatting 220 kilos for reps.
bet ya did
RIP
@Mr Foxx haha...who's the warrior?
@@mathsblob7052 if he lived Dubai he probably did. he was a player coach for Dubai wasps
Definitely the hardest hitter ever in Rugby. Was lucky enough to watch many of his club rugby in West Auckland before he made a name for himself. He was something else. Growing up in Sth Auckland being a big hitter isn’t anything as most hit hard....but Trevor was on a different level. He went in for the kill every time. Blah blah blah people saying illegal hit. Illegal or not, he was like a Rhino charging. Just brute mass! You felt the hit by just watching.
he was good in high illegal tackle.....and some are late tackle......

This man is one of the pioneers who paved the way for pacific island ruggers; showing them what needed to be done on the field in order to progress or first of all be noticed into selection. And once in, you are on your own, so to speak.
However, the previous generation of ruggers have now taken the role of big bro in nurturing and advising the younger ones on how to make it in the big leagues and not get spat out with nothing to show for it.
Congratulations on a lustrous career and thank you for helping the younger ones to progress further than yourself.
It's like getting the heaviest bowling ball thrown directly into your face from about 4 inches away at about 30 mph, trev was my idol growing up
😂😂👍
If this guy is your idol u really need to get out more
I doubt that what you just said If that really happened that would crack your skull open you would die, have Internal bleeding and stuff
this guy might have hit hard but not how you describe It lol.
brilliant description lol
He reminds me of UFC fighter Mark Hunt
apparently mark hunt and Trevor Leota are cousins
@@supriyamingnam7555 They are! Imagine getting into a bar room brawl with those two 😱🤣
He looks like David Tua and Mark Hunt combined.
JonnyThunderkong david tua is actually his distant cousin funnily enough
Yeah true as 😂
are any of these shots legal ? Flippin' heck !! ✌️🇬🇧👍
Used to be no problem with these tackles. I think he was in his latter years of Rugby when the new rules were introduced. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Might be the greatest ever at dirty tackles off the ball.
These sort of hits are why they changed the rules.
Sonny Bill style
Sonny Bill Williams was suspended for a hit that wasnt as bad as some of these!
Sheesh Big heavy Hitter much love from Tonga 🇹🇴 💪🏾💯💯
Weak hits and dirty
S.N.T. KEFU dirty but not weak
Joseph Teo that’s up for debate.
KBHS ALL DAY 👊👊👊
Chiefs All day what? Whatever! BLUES ALL DAY!
Watching him felt like those guys were hitting rocks or something like that 😂😂
Nice to see all those hits didn't damage his handsome face
What a lovely brick wall of a man!
His finishing move is, tackling with his face- FULL SPEED!
02:08 Smashed a Bok - a whole Springbok - so brutally that the next receiver dropped the ball cold out of terror!
African Wonderer I know right ? And bokkies are no joke either .
OMG That caught my attention straight away
Not an easy feat smashing a bokkie like that 😳
This clip might suggest otherwise, but honestly one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet.
Maxwell just bounced out & kept going
But he's suffering from severe head injuries from concussions these days.
@@nathanbellamy3308 no doubt, ya get that as a human wrecking ball
Amazing video highlighting one of Rugby's best, but man, that music is like nails on a chalkboard!
Half the "hits" were late tackles just taking the opportunity to smash a non ball carrier
First time I've even heard of the bloke
Then you need to find out more about him. Beast
Then you are five
Yeah, if this is the first you've heard of the bloke you have got absolutely no clue...jog on mate
@@bh2861 unless your an avid Wasps supporter alot of people won't know the guy
@@Tongandingo1 everyone from Auckland knows him, most should in NZ and alot of people here in Australia as he currently lives in Melbourne I think. Oh yeah, and all of Samoa. As I said, jog on mate
SAMOAN BEASTMODE, USO'S CLUB....T.Leota, Tuilagi brothers, J.Collins, B.Lima,L.Mulipola, S.B.W, M.Nonu, S.Mapusua, T.Vaega, A.Perelini...
List goes on n on n on n on n on.....to be continue 🤨🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸👊👊👊
literally fuck that, if i was on the pitch id be running away for the full 80
1:57 omfg even i felt that hit. this dude must have broken bones like broken glass
I must "smash" the like button
Trevor leota is awesome.
Which game was it when he knocked out four Tongans?
It was a game back in 2000 in Apia, I was a little kid at the time, and then the following week he knocked out 2 Fijians and his own team mate 😂😂😂
Michael Ironside was the game recorded? Can we watch it anywhere?
It was the one where they played against Tonga.
@ So Smit LoL I think he meant cheeseburgers 😂😂😂😂
@@pimzkiliati7252 I knew never cheeseburgers was slang for Tongans...ya learn something new everyday haha
Can’t find the game Samoa v Australia 98 - Leota on Ofahengaue, 2005 Leota on Elsom and Sharpe 💥
Kelstonz Finest Bone-Rattler...add along with Apollo Perellini, Iga Tuigamala etc. When you played againts Trevor, no one else mattered on the opposition BUT....The Pitbull Himself. When you got hit by Trevor, there wasnt enought MORPHINE in the Ambulance to heal the PAIN until you got to the Hospital for RESTOCK of the Pain Killer Drug......RESPECT to the Uso.
Norm Maxwell just spins out.
Later bro couldn't hit that Kauri.
aye that cracked me up couldnt even buckle the skinniest gangly hard as nails brother out there haha even got the pass away afterward
Nga Puhi hard👊👊👊
'I can take this guy' 2:17
'Nevermind' 2:20
Y.A.K. *STOP IT!* _(you’re making me wee)..._ 😂🤣
For me the man they called the Chiropractor, Brian Lima is the biggest hitter
Yeah, his wife can attest to that 😂😂😂
Head only last 1 min on the field these days
King Rat same for lomu
Not slighting his ability... Just his technique i.e. red card material
Magic why
@@actimeladdict2564 now that's an uneducated statement if I ever read one
johnzo70 what he’s above average a little and never bumped a strong player
KBHS in the house boy 👊👊👊
He would have made an amazing linebacker!
Very few legal hits there. Mostly a collection of high, late and no-arms hits.
Oh Trevor! You naughty boy! 😂
😮 This guy Trevor & Jerome Bettis a.k.a. The Bus in head on collision with no pads! shock wave Earthquake!
“Murderous.” Jim Hamilton
A face only a mother can love
Lots of swinging arms and high tackle's
The good ol' days 😂
Gave Hask a really hard clump nearly knocked him in to next week.
A Hard hitter no doubt. But you could hardly lay claim to the hardest in the game based on those highlights.
He's knocked alot of players with these tackles a pitty none are shown on here
Anybody just can’t play this sport lol YOU GOTTA BE A WHOLE MAN
he is a war machine
Trev the man 👊
What’s the name of the song?
I played rugby 8 yrs on the all marine team on Hawaii. I was 147 lbs and fast. We played against sumaons daily. Bug ass dudes. I never once let them hit me full flush. Speed kills and if you know how to move and dodge, that would never happen. Of course I'm 52 and was 19 then but still
It’s Samoans not sumaons
@@weilijrfang7364 i really don’t give 2 Fucks about the spelling
The Chiropractor says nah.
This dude is tough
Anyone know the tune playing???
I don’t think he is the hardest hitter at all, maybe he could be with his size but his tackles are nothing more shoulder chargers
You vs what the world and the players thought lol
still waiting for a samoan to dominate judo or any legit grappling sport though..they usually specialize on hit and run/ trainwreck demo of strenght..try static display of strength for a change
Someone used to get they ass beat by Samoans 😂
@@filisi26 hahaha not really..was able to roll with samoan judokas thats why i have developed this theory that they have to gain momentum first and static display of strength like grappling is not their cup of tea.☺️
@@filisi26 not throwing any shade here..its just my observation..they dominate hit and run contact sports but not really in terms of static strength..samoans are tall, and judo is unforgiving on tall judokas because of their center of gravity
@@mf_dom08 I'm not someone who is extremely well versed in judo but i took judo for a good 5 years from about 6. Maybe I'm not understanding your comment but what i leaned from judo which still has stuck with me all the way to adulthood is a good center of gravity along with using someone momentum and weight and to redirect it into a throw. Not once was strength involved in judo so when you say that you haven't seen a Samoan do judo well bc of static strength how does strength have to do with. Both grappling and judo are self defenses that allow a small person to handle someone much larger than themselves
@@pandabearmadness6263 i agree, grappling favors the peeps with smaller frame as its all about technique..i have rolled with samoans and blacks and grappling has somehow jolted them back to reality that brute force like the ones they have been complimenting on this video is not really big for me..i guess im challenging the normal impression that most of the folks have here because thats all there is to it..hit and run, wrecking ball approach..the physics is given thats why grapplers would be unforgiving to their opponents that rely on such tactics..you simply remove the opportunity for them to shift and deccelerate and let their momentum injure them..like in american football..that barbaric tackle will just look like a fool on a well-performed downward stiff-arm on his neck..crushing his skull in the process because thats all he had
You forget how big the blokes he’s hitting are 😯
That dudes neck has it's own area code.
Maybe one non bookable offense throughout
Hitting hard is one thing, but being dirty is another
If this is the best they have how the hell do people think rugby hits harder over the NFL?
Robert Bertram well, they don’t have helmets, mouth pieces, and pads all over there bodies 😖
@@daveo154 yes but none of the hits are at high speeds so they aren't very powerful compared to a linebacker in the NFL at full speed.
Robert Bertram Trust me, this is not the hardest rugby has. Clickbait title. Go look up real hard rugby hits, plenty of good compilations out there. I’m a huge rugby fan and a player myself, and I’ve never even heard of this guy. 🤷🏻♂️
You say that Leota is rugby's hardest ever hitter, but the same about Henry Tuilagi. So which is it?
I can take him easy.......let me stop taking my antidepressants 2 days before the game......"Someone please dial 911!!!"
I think sable is a harder tackler legal and left them rolling in pain sorry about spelling is name wrong but like he said when a reporter asked do you speak English. Why I am french brilliant
Mark Hunt of rugby
I wonder if any of these guys were put on "time out" growing up lol
They were TIME OUT!
i wonder if he can recover from a well-performed downward stiff-arm on his nape..just a thought
Man..Rigby is legit!! I wish it was more popular in America. Those are some righteous shots.
best of the best
All chest and shoulders. Just Wow
Be my dream to see him, physically squash Fitzpatrick!!
Yes, wonder what fitzy would have say to his mate...the ref
Need to bring back the shoulder charge.
Is he gonna go save the WWE?
Hardest hitting with the arms
High tackles, Late tackles, Off the ball "hits", No arms but just barging in!! I think Jaques Burger from Namibia and Saracens deserves more credit for "Hard Hitting"!!!
It's the neck man I'm telling ya.
Dominant = late, high, no arms.
He's built like a tank
Difference between tackling and a clothes line
Samoan💪🏾 🇼🇸
I admit, I don't know much about rugby. That said, its seems like most of these hits are late hits and after the ball exchanges, where he hits a guy who has no time to react.
Nothing admirable to those types of encounters..
Wack home slice!!! Back street boys track hits harder then that...
toughest ILLEGAL hitter is a better title. the oke is a maniac lol
Hogwash. Every tackle is not legal today and even back then was not classy
As an American it seems so ridiculous in the little cute shorts. American football hits are so much harder than this.
4 Tongans? Keen to see that footage.
MrMahazestar not every game are recorded
Wei Li Jr Fang you calling him a liar?
Its ok dox its in the past 😂
Wait....I was just watching a video which you posted which said that Brian Lima was "Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter" and on my recommended list here, I see another of your videos which says that Sebastien Chabal was "Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter". I'm confused. How many "Hardest Ever Hitters" are there in rugby? Is this your full time occupation? Posting video after video after video of "Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter"? Thumbs down.
Some of those tackles were almost legal.
Seen harder hits in a high school football game in all seriousness.
Suh, clay mattews, Julius peppers(in his prime) Terrell Suggs etc would DE STROY this guy.
The hits look big because they're tackling guys the size of WRs and Corners.
Also if this is big and fast for rugby Vince Wilfork would have been a 5 time rugby champion.
@@brandonvaccaro2960 guys like Terrel Davis and Jerome Bettis would have demolished him. I dont see anything that's impressive.
@@damiendoisher7812 different story when they step on a rugby field 🤣🤣
Is rugby a candy ass sport now ?
Short fella but still tackle high
He should of played in the nfl could of been a great defensive tackle
nope..if thats all he has, 1 stiff-arm on his neck will be his death..a 200lb defensive line with perfect technique will school him
he toooooo slow..allen iverson and lebro james on running back mode would make a fool out him..he will be tackling air
Imagine him and Bakkies Botha on 1 team!!!!!!
With Jerry Collins
UFC mark hunt look a like. And he is also the hardest hitter in UFC
SIT DOWN MY BRO
Some of his best and legal tackles are not in this vid.
Several of his best tackles are not in this vid, and they are all legal, even by today’s standards.
@0:53 that seems like a form solid hit.. Yall cry about "is that legal is this legal" psssh back then the game was played with a Dog Mentality.. Alot of which you don't see much in the game today.. Same thing with American Football.. Too many rules for player safety.. I thought that's what these guys signed up when they became professionals in a Contact Sport..
Aren't too many warriors now a days..
They can only be found in the islands of the south pacific or deep in the rugged plains of the UK or the a old fishing boat outside of Capetown SA. Tamed like an old Lion in an Zoo.. Alot of those old timers are just going through time now a days..
I smashed him in a tackle and he never ran at me again.
THE BADEST MAN!!
Got to give credit to the all black guy he got hit so hard but still didn't go to the ground😳😳 1:11
I know Trevor!
my favorite hitter ever is apollo perelini
KBHS DAY 👊👊👊
Once a Wasp...Always a Wasp haha
Title should be "Late illegal cheap shot hitter". No respect should be given to a late tackle....just highlights how off the pace the tackler is or how good the attacking team is.
Doug H. Nuts 😴😴😴
