Joeli Vidiri was born 23 November 1973 in Nausori, in the highlands of Nadi, Nadroga-Navosa Province and is a retired Fijian rugby union footballer who also played for the New Zealand All Blacks. He played as a winger predominantly.
Vidiri studied at Queen Victoria School (Fiji). He represented Fiji in both 15s and sevens before coming to New Zealand in 1994. He played for the Auckland Blues in the Super 12 competition and represented Counties Manukau in the NPC. He only managed to play two tests for New Zealand in 1998. In 2001 he was diagnosed with a kidney illness and placed on dialysis treatment like his fellow Auckland Blues winger Jonah Lomu.
Vidiri played in the Super 12 for the Auckland Blues from 1996 until 2001, where he scored 43 tries in 61 games, at the time an individual record. In 2000 Joeli created the record for most tries scored in one match scoring 4 against the Bulls, a record which has since been equalled but not yet broken. He had a song named after him (Give Me Hope Joeli) that was very popular with the Auckland Blues fans at home games at Eden Park. He appeared in only five Super 12 matches in 2001, with his illness impacting on his ability to play. In 2000 Vidiri played for the Barbarian F.C. against Leicester Tigers. Vidiri made 71 provincial appearances for Counties, for whom Vidiri scored 56 tries. After two early matches with Auckland in the 2001 NPC, he ended his career.
After his career was cut short, it was revealed that Vidiri had been waiting on a transplant for over a decade (accurate to 2013), and on 8 April 2013 episode of Campbell Live, it had been revealed he was talked out of a kidney transplant in 2008, and had taken himself out of the waiting list due to his mother's skepticism and traditional views against transplants and surgery. He currently lives and works in Pukekohe.
Thanks for watching and much love!

From a South African supporter:
May your soul RIP you great legend (1973 - 2022) .
RIP TO THE GREAT JOELI VIDIRI
🙏🏽
Had a friend mention the legendary Counties team of the 90’s , decided to look up his highlights…totally forgot he passed away quite recently. Magnificent winger. RIP
RIP mana you always in our hearts forever legend ❤ you have made the pacific islands proud vinaka for the great 👍 memories brother 💙
That late hit on Viliame Satala though, that guy would have been hospitalized if Satala returned one
My favorite player of all time. True legend 🔥🔥
Gonna miss you brotha!!..fly with the angels!❤❤
RIP Joeli. Thank you for the memories ❤️
RIP Legend 💛
I don't know much about Rugby, but recognize talent when I see it, this man was a BEAST.
🎶"Nothing can stop me I'am all the way up!
I know that your football videos are blowing up right now but from someone who has played football for the last 6 years of his life and never has touched a rugby ball I thoroughly enjoy your rugby content and even though it isn't doing as well keep it up!
I like how they can kick the ball to themselves down the field.
Loved it Vidiri was a beast herd you talk about him a few times definitely lived up to the hype
I've watched more Rugby highlights from you than I've watched (in total) my entire life! I'm enjoying them and this was a good one. I saw quite a few brilliant tosses (passes?) and am getting a better sense of the game by watching these.
Awesome content. Thanks for sharing!
I would definitely be interested in seeing more rugby highlights videos with your commentary on what made each play and player great.
Please do more rugby highlights! I'm really starting to dig em. Thanks for the content!
1:43 he was a fairly strong dude , i saw him debut for counties and then i saw him in the gym i was a member in, i was i the strongest muscle regular there he noticed me and he was a hell of alot taller and heavier than me , but he knew i was lifting weight that was pretty heavy , then eventually he saw me at the rugby club trainings he did a double take it was funny, he must of thought oh hell he plays rugby too, then we were on the same feild warming up for the saturday game and he saw me and must of though oh hell he plays on the wing too lol i played under 21s the seniors were using the feild too
What a beast he was. Size, speed and grit. Nice tribute.
Awesome highlights mate!
Enjoyed these highlights. You should do a video explaining the rules of Rugby 🏉 or maybe a series of videos.
Can’t wait for the history of the Green Bay Packers video! If you travel to America to see a game go to see the Packers at home it is a great experience and atmosphere. Gotta do the packers hall fame as well while you are there.
Joeli vidiri was the man
Legend staus. ❤
RIP Joe... Coming from the highlands of Fiji and become one of the best winger to don the white jersey to black jersey...will always be remembered...
RIP Joeli! The Fijian Speed Demon
Would love to see some of the modern rugby star highlights. With your commentary as well. I've played rugby for 4 years here in the states but it would still be interesting to hear your thoughts and explanations of play at that level.
He's a Jim Brown and maybe even a Bo Jackson type. He's massive, fast, and smart. I like seeing your Rugby videos.
Only difference is Brown and Jackson had the advantage of their teammates taking out the defence (gridiron) where as Joeli had to do it on his own.
Nice video👍😉
RIP LEGEND 😪
RIP Legend
He has some speed for sure and pretty good at shedding tackles. He picks it up, kicks it, and receives it. That's epic lol.
Rest In Peace champ !
His ability to chip the ball on to himself is spectacular. He's like tank that moves like a Ferrari.
incredible athleticism and strength
RIP legend
Still would like to hear your commentary on these players,and plays so you can explain the rules and or the strategy of the teams
YESSS
The basic strategy is to have as many big powerful and explosive polynesian/melanesian wingers on your team than the opposition
Rest High Vidiri 🌟👏🙏🏾
Scrum, Hooker (no.2, center in football) hooks the ball to the back to halfback/scrum half (QB). Spencer (10, fly half, an agile punter/kicker playing as an alternative QB, not a backup, but a hybrid QB). Forward kicks are unlimited. Grubber kick=Squib kicks on open play, but also used like a ground shovel pass.
3:39 Kick and chase are football equivalent of catching a forward pass, but he, as a wideout, passed it to himself (the ball are allowed to bounce and not be called incompletion or fumble on a rushing play).
You’ve got to show these guys a Lomu vid
RIP big man
The man!
RIP LEGEND 😢
I purchased some All Black socks while in Australia. Best socks I've ever owned.
Dularr are you sure they weren’t just black socks?
lol, no. Those were such good socks. Looking online at some rugby practice socks now.
Was sitting in the crowd at the sfs in the corner where joeli scored the try. Couldn't believe how big joeli was compared to the other players.
Yes you can see the size. Big head..legs and chest...just looked beeeg. Not gym big..just a natural power runner. Did you see lomu on the field?
You need to react to Ameer Abdullah When he played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and he now plays for the Detroit Lions
You should react to the field goal return by Auburn Against Alabama a couple years ago.
I’m sure you’ve heard of him but you should react to Carlin Isles. He’s an nfl player turned rugby player
Can you react to Julio Jones Falcon's receiver.
The times when he kicked the ball to himself was awesome.
Nz rugby has alot to answer about Joeli, 1 test match n discarded like he was nuthin, everybody goes on about Rupeni, but to me Joeli everyday n all day, original BRUISE BROTHERS with th one n only JONAH, THANK U JOELI,
Mate you dont know what you are talking about. He played for Fiji and had too stand down for 3yrs where he played his best rugby. After that he got 2 tests and would have gotten more but he got seriously ill. So yeah we got nothing to answer for
@@hellovanite written like a one eyed kiwi, GOOD on ya bro
@@kingpk1431 written like someone who can't admit when they're wrong. Sweet as bro
@@hellovanite we.im wrong, then il admit I'm wrong, keep singing to ur tune dude
@@kingpk1431 Given what I said what does NZ rugby have too answer for?
great video. If we were to compare this to american football.. Their skills are what you would call open field running. No blocking by other players and 1 or 2 men to beat.. you have seen this happen in football after the runner gets threw the line or hits the edges on sweeps or screen plays (which usually sets up blockers down field.) You kinda see this style of running from punt returners but they again have blockers down the field.
mate look up Nate Ebner - Patriots Super Bowl winner and USA Olympic Rugby team. He's one of the best special teams players in the NFL.
Rest in peace brother. Feb 28.2022
Rugby looks fun lol
Next time you do American football videos please watch biggest hits by joe Vincent you will really enjoy it I personally have watched it 10 times over it is such a good edit
He built like a stallion hard to catch n keep down
🙏 RIP🙏
If He Made The All Black No Another Team Will Stop Them But He's 1 Fast Bro 👍 Shot For The Upload 🚬
RIP Joeli
please do a reaction to terry Bradshaw he was a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers
189cm at 112kg with elite speed.yes he was still crazy fast at that weight..only fijian faster was vunibaka. And im including cacucau in the mix. VIDIRI WAS LIGHTNING WITH SIZE
Google says Joeli was 100kg, nah he was closer to 115kg in his playing days.
You should react to Patrick Willis highlights if you haven’t already. Just a monster. Also there’s a better football juke video done by Highlight Factory
Rip Mr joeli vidiri
You should also watch “Alabama Defense wins championships 2016” by izallgood. It’s an awesome video of a defense that is super aggressive and gets a lot of turnovers
I want to get a rugby ball. I'm curious as to how they feel. Are they soft?
David Much softer than a football but covered in similar textured grip. Theyre similar in pressure to a soccer ball
That's a bad man right there
You gotta explain how to play this sport
React to Reuben Fosters Alabama highlights he tackles so hard
Johnny Wilkinson highlights please
Should react to tyrann Mathieu college highlights
You should react to Hockey's biggest hits.
Larry Allen the most ATHLETIC BIG MAN IN THE HISTORY of the nfl
Please do a video on qb cam newton he's big strong can run dive over people just nasty
Please react to "The Legion of Boom" it's awesome.
As a completely ignorant observer, from an American football perspective, the, what we would call, "edge" defenders have a very different philosophy on attacking the ball. We're taught that interior defenders should pursue the ball carrier inside out which forces the ball carrier to run laterally minimizing their forward progress while corners and/or ends typically are taught to "contain" the carrier by pursuing outside in thus forcing the ball carrier back inside where help defenders are coming from to help. Several of the edge defenders here are pressing the carrier inside out which gives the (wing?) Guy on the outside free reign of the sideline. I'm ignorant when it comes to rugby rules and strategy, so I guess my question is; are"edge" defenders taught a similar strategy of squeezing the ball carrier back into the help defenders, or do they normally choke down inside allowing ball carriers to pitch it down the sideline? Basically, I'm just curious about the technical strategic differences in the ideology between rugby and football. I'm finding the two sports share several aspects, so I'm becoming increasingly curious about philosophical differences in the two sports. Cheers. Oh, BTW John Randle. Lol
Noah Shaffer I think the passing and kicking stretches the field and makes it difficult to contain anyone, the defense looks like it plays man up but compresses where the ball carrier is
Blood Fury thanks. I think that that makes sense.
Hallo ,How to become the shape of your chest ?
RIP 👊
Watch Tavon Austin college highlights. Great speed and agility
Chase Collazo he's already done that if I am not mistaken.
firm1z ok cool. He has done so many lately it’s hard to keep up with haha
It would be better with your emotions and descriptions cause I have no idea what I am looking at but wouldn’t mind learning just like you are with NFL
r.i.p Matua
Been watching the world cup final. Only Saw 2 Man buns out of the 200 guys here. Time for you to cut it off
The difference between North America and the rest of the world, in North America we had what is called selective breeding for better bigger faster workers for 400 years, the great experiment. You understand size, speed and quickness and the American south athletes are the elite of the whole United States, the true essence of football is in the south and then you will understand rugby and football are very similar. You haven’t even scratched the surface of what the sport means in the states from the kids in south Florida, Texas,Alabama, Georgia,Louisiana,south Carolina, Mississippi, North Carolina, and you will learn more about the sport.
Ron Harris don't forget Tennessee
That is true
Sleeping on California, we revolutionized the game on the west coast.
Ben Brave Productions not sleeping on California but 40 million people in a state, compare that to the size of all the southern states.
Slave breeding is a myth stop spreading the bullshit white nonsense
Rose Bowl Highlights (Harris Highlights!)
Can you explain the rules and scoring?
Nikko Machado
That would take a while, Google it.
5 points for a try (touchdown)
2 points for the kick after try
3 points for a drop goal or a penalty kick
Kick the ball forward, pass the ball backwards, offsides rules are complex but stay behind the ball mostly, you can't block for runners, tackles must be wrapped below shoulders, you cannot play the ball from the ground or while bound in a ruck.... etc.
Ders972 Thank you for saving me some time. That's enough info to get me started!
React to the 2018 rose bowl
React to clay matthews career highlights from the Green Bay Packers
Please react to LaDainian Tomlinson
Bro can u react to Tavon Austin senior college highlights by dougity dog🔥🔥🔥
Watch college football biggest hits (2017-2018) part 2 by the cntaco
GALE SAYERS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!
It was sad the way NZRFU played him. Kept him hanging on and hanging out when he could have made big money overseas. The kind of money that would have really come in handy with his later health troubles.
React to Julio Jones highlights
React to Antonio brown he's leveon bells teammate best wide receiver in the league
This looks like a fun sport. I wish I knew the rules.
Watch this crazy finish between the Ravens and Vikings.
m.th-cam.com/video/ASWVwZIsst8/w-d-xo.html
Unlike American Football, props (guards) can touch the ball in open play.
Watch John Ross 40 yard dash
You need to watch pavel datsyuk
