    As a South African I know about 3/4 of zero about league. We don't really get exposed to it here, it's not very popular. That being said Ponga is something amazing! Only a few clips but looks like his skill set is pretty varied and those steps bamboozle the opposition! Wow, what a beast.
    I've been a fan of Kolbe for years, he is such a nugget. Tough as nails, rarely misses a tackle, safe under the high ball, quick, elusive, reads the game well and very importantly, humble. Complete rugby player packed into a pocket sized lead ball Hehe. One of my favourite skills that he alone seems to possess is his ability to use the momentum of the trailing arm of a potential tackler to swing him back onto the same line he was running. He is back up to full speed in 2 or so steps and effectively steps through the player. Really messes with secondary defenders who think he is going to change his line. Best evidenced by the try shown from RWC 2019 final. There are tons more examples but that's the best one in this video.
    Less hate across codes folks, more love for two fantastic players!

      Hardly expert if you don't factor in the guaranteed gap between defender & ball carrier in league at each restart, fewer and slower men on the pitch, and the fact Cheslin keeps the ball in play if caught. How is Pongo's step better when he's not creating the gaps as Kolbe does.

This never happens in league because players stay in their defensive position. You don't get props defending out wide where space is.

    Even though Kolbe is more Shifty, he’s also drastically shorter than Kalyn.. makes it harder to get ahold of tbh.. I can argue Kalyn is more aggressive on both sides of the ball. While being taller does have big advantages with stiff arms, etc. I Noticed Kalyn can run through defenders and still make space.. you give Kolbe any type of space he’s scoring.. WE ALL KNOW THIS. Lol. Don’t really watch too much rugby but I play it..

      @@IsanG08 I knew someone would reply to this comment with that corny bs. At the end of the day those 2 are just sports players just like Cheslin & Ponga just because of the absolute "LeGendARiness" you claim they have doesn't make their match up any more any less. So yes they are comparable they are all equally as talented and gifted as each other and more importantly they are all sports players.

    They're both outstanding and can do some damage once they have space however in this comparison I would have to say Cheslin Kolbe, but this is only because he is more experience than Ponga only due to the amount of time he has been playing for. GIve Ponga a couple more years when he reaches his prime (Not saying that he isn't already) and he'll be just as dangerous

    I bet most people watching this have never actually seen much of Ponga's games and are mostly union/SA fans. If they did they probably wouldn't be so quick to say Kolbe. Cheslin might be more agile and quick but Ponga is much more potent to a teams offense with a wider skill set. He's basically a fly-half with the athleticism of a winger! Not saying Ponga is a better player, hard to say because they play different disciplines to be honest. So we'll never really know. But just thought people here are just too quick to pick.
