English media is honestly a joke with rugby. From commentators to highlights. Every pass in this is a screamer but the two English passes are just normal haha
@Cillian Right ? I mean for feck's sake, most of these are fairly straight forward offloads round the back (all the NZ ones, because that's how they're f**kin taught to play rugby) or speculative chances that miraculously come off. And Kyle Sinclair can get fecked. He's an over-rated thug like Courtney Laws. How is a prop being able to pass the ball quickly over 3 feet of space a miracle ?
The England pass should not be on the same video as Cooper, SBW, and the Fijian boys etc. Some of these passes were just basic. Mataele's pass left the Hurricanes stunned.
I remember being at my local pub with my dad for all three lions test in 2009. We were gutted, especially after that second test. We went absolutely crazy because of Fluteys offload and started jumping up and down hugging. Great memories.
@@varaneszn7176 you don't have to be an anglophobe to realize that them passes were standard prop pop ups and should never be included in the best flair passes in rugby union video. Brian O'Driscoll did some crazy stuff with the ball and isn't mentioned.
Where are Brian O’Driscoll’s passes for Leinster and Ireland he had several passes that would make this list ????? Check out: Brian O’Driscoll making the impossible look easy.
Yeah agree woth everyone else although they are perfectly nice passes by Sinkler amd Reed i dont think anyone who watches rugby regularly would say "Wow wow wow ive seen something special there". Unlike the rest of them which are pretty special.
For it was leyds & mateale (&coppers 1 not seen here), but that's up there; he switched hands to make it easier, but I presume that's his weaker hand sooo (plus the pace)
Northern Hemisphere rugby clubs have a bizarre tradition of punishing youngsters who offload the ball. Southern Hemisphere rugby is the future. Us Northerners really have to just accept the new style, because it is the best way to play
These two English passes making it is unforgivable. Good passes, but they would make it into a best tries of the season montage but not best flair passes ever! Get a grip Sky Sports haha!
so weird rugby today in June 2020. Feels rugby was last played a few years ago..I still thought the ABs was still the WC holders and forgot there was a WC last year
I played heaps of club rugby in the UK after moving from NZ. There is heaps of great players here, but the average player can't pass each side. Gordon Tietjens once told me as a kid, if you're going for a run with a mate; take a ball, and run on grass.
Dan Biggar's no-look backwards between the legs pass to Josh Adams in the 2020 Six Nations doesn't even get a look in? Far better than several of the passes here.
Ricky flutey made the British and Irish lions team?? He would have never made an All Blacks reserve team but made the lions team?? They have half of the tier one teams to choose from and he was good enough. Wow
I can hear Campese asking Tim Horan, "Yeah. Right - and how many of these are in a World Cup Semi-Final?" "Or a Hong Kong final?" replies every Fijian Rugby fan ever ...
Totally Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) dominated clip. Real flair. Got to giggle at Sky adding two pop passes from English players as "flair". Might be a bit of a salty comment, but common... flair passes?
Carlos spencer pass under the legs for the all blacks i cant remember the year but that was a good one but alot of these are newish and 2 of tem were just 🤔
English media is honestly a joke with rugby. From commentators to highlights. Every pass in this is a screamer but the two English passes are just normal haha
Ikr but tbh they are still really hard to pull off
No they're not hard to pull off. They're both just pop passes, one in a tackle 😂
@@taz8326 they are standard passes, but not many props in international rugby can do them.
@@jonnybaynham1689 Pop passes are the most basic passes out, pal
Token pop pass from the England ladies. Not skill involved, just a pop pass.
The Leyds pass will forever go undefeated. Just unbelievable.
🐐
Still cant believe that pass. Accuracy, timing, intricacy. Had it all
100%....everything was just perfect
@@jonadams894 better planned than the others, but getting that distance OFF THE FREAKING FLOOR
@@kurtsudheim825 still trying to figure out how he dud ut so accurately. Freakish!
Please delete the regular Synckler and Reed 🙈
Sinkler* and Read*
*Sinckler throws basic pass*
Sky sports - "use that because hes English"
Hundred percent agree with you.
Evan Burke 😂😂😂
Yep
It was a great pass... Perfectly timed. Bur guess a good pass counts as flair in England.
I know right😂😂
No Finn Russell but a standard quick pass from sinckler that wouldn't stand out in any top level game? 🤔
*dislike and unsub*
They can’t use 6 Nations footage.
@@happyspanners fair point, couple of glasgow/racing passes that easily look at home in this collection though!
Too busy putting basic offloads in from the women
It’s sky sports so they won’t have the broadcasting rights for BT sport which most of Finn’s passes appeared on
Lol true that was a classic pop pass, nothing special
How are the two English passes even in this 😂
Benzo Ryan because it's sky
Shut up you anglophobe
@@varaneszn7176 u clearly know nothing about rugby u mong thats basic in high level rugby shut up about anglophobe
Technically the Flutey Lions offload is an English pass as well.
Not sure about Sincklers but Scarratts offload is as standard as SBWs offloads.
“Flair” should never be associated with English rugby.
Brian O'Driscoll literally passed to himself but you decided to put in a clip of Kyle Sinclair popping one.
Or the one through the legs? Or any of the around the back ones???
@@SusanPDavis piss off Susan

Saw that game live, couldn't believe mataele got it off without going into touch. Even as a canes supporter stood up and clapped.
Correct title: The best flair passes from the games we have rights to
*to the only rugby competition worth watching
Will Carroll Hamilton nah the northern hemisphere has some flair about it like have u seen tolouse play ?
I remember being at my local pub with my dad for all three lions test in 2009. We were gutted, especially after that second test.

"The best EVER"? I have to question those England passes - so subpar compared to the others!! Talk about an agenda by SkySports! 🙃
Anglophobe
2 passes in a 7 minute video and there's an agenda? LOGIC.
😂😂😂😂 so true
@@varaneszn7176 you don't have to be an anglophobe to realize that them passes were standard prop pop ups and should never be included in the best flair passes in rugby union video. Brian O'Driscoll did some crazy stuff with the ball and isn't mentioned.
I mean it was a good pass but have to admit that wasn't flair rugby
Got to love Sky Sports they put in two basic passes from England and they are both forward passes 😂😂😂😂
Ikr😂 they weren't forward tho
Kyle Sinkler's pass, my god it was nothing at all. Lamaison to Garbajosa, Fra v Wal 1998 Wembley. Magic
Southern Hemisphere teams are a bit more creative and play towards that
I'm surprised that outstanding Sinckler pass didn't make to the thumbnail 😂
Where are Brian O’Driscoll’s passes for Leinster and Ireland he had several passes that would make this list ?????
Check out: Brian O’Driscoll making the impossible look easy.
Two words: Sky Sport
I advise everyone to look up the final of the hong kong 7s from 1990. Fijians throwing a one handed spin pass to overhead to though the legs, Classic.
Yeah agree woth everyone else although they are perfectly nice passes by Sinkler amd Reed i dont think anyone who watches rugby regularly would say "Wow wow wow ive seen something special there". Unlike the rest of them which are pretty special.
That Fijian 7s flick pass wins it for me
Hahaha
For it was leyds & mateale (&coppers 1 not seen here), but that's up there; he switched hands to make it easier, but I presume that's his weaker hand sooo (plus the pace)
Townsend flip in 99, fin Russell vs Ireland and England deserve to be in there. Some pretty big standard ones thrown in to fill your reel!
As if Dillan Leyns pass is on the same level as Kyle Sinkler's, according to Sky, my god😂
That pass from Dylan though...the universe aligned perfectly
Because Genia's was included, I definitely think Baptiste Serin's vs the All Blacks deserves a mention... was genius
Lukhanyo Am's pass to Mapimpi is the greatest pass in rugby. Simple elegance.
Very nicely put together ... terrific music well handled. Good stuff.
Does this exclude Irish teams? None of Brian O’Driscoll’s sublime passes make the cut 🤔
No this is for English and commonwealth players only
how’s that empire looking now? 🤣🤣🤣
Got an underage try against England in there
Northern Hemisphere rugby clubs have a bizarre tradition of punishing youngsters who offload the ball.
Southern Hemisphere rugby is the future. Us Northerners really have to just accept the new style, because it is the best way to play
Two pop passes by the English, the woman’s pass was just a pass in reality. No need to hype the ladies game lads.islands boys invented flair passes.
Its isn't English media without an agenda
No way not 2 passes in a 7 minute video there is clearly an agenda going on here.
SBW did that pass a billion times
Thanks very much. Lovely skills from a prop, magic from a fijian 7s player, but Nonu's offload in 2 tackles was the best for mine.
Southern hemisphere rugby at its best. However, not too sure why Sinckler features on this video.🤣
Remember when sky actually had good rugby coverage 😔
I was waiting for TJ and Brad Webber from the RWC 2019.
The first one!!! That dude must be special on the dancefloor
Should make a part two. Higganbottom vs Hurricanes, French 7s winger pass (forget his name), Dane Coles vs Ireland... so many more amazing passes
These two English passes making it is unforgivable. Good passes, but they would make it into a best tries of the season montage but not best flair passes ever! Get a grip Sky Sports haha!
Jesus did they include 2 passes in a 7 minute video. Its basically the end of the world i dont know what ill do.
@@henryhunter3400 just typical English bias as always...average passes, average team, bottle it in the final, standard procedure
@@joejenkins9999 average team that made it to a rwc final last year
@@henryhunter3400 Congratulations on second place Henry. How did it feel being past the group stages?
@@joejenkins9999 lol its better than ireland or wales or scotland have ever done.
That momentum arc @05:00. Throws it behind him, ends up coming back over his head
so weird rugby today in June 2020. Feels rugby was last played a few years ago..I still thought the ABs was still the WC holders and forgot there was a WC last year
Also to mention Vermeulen´s pass on Du Preez in the RWC2015´s quarter-finals against Wales!

The Manawatu Turbos one tho, my fav.
Dillyn Leyds FTW .. flair + distance + accuracy (to the chest) ... uncomparable and timeless
1:18 flair kick then pass. Unbelievable
Fantastic (for most of them). Quite sure we’re missing a few screamers from spencer and skinstad
Tamati Ellison pass still got me goosebump
southern hemisphere dominance
this just made me miss nrl and super rugby can't wait to have a beer and watch some rugby best combo ever
southern hemisphere rugby too good
Meli Rokoua offload against Edinburgh for the Kings. Man did a Superman offload. Was about 8 feet in the air.
You could just show the entire Fiji team
The Nonu pass for Savea was sensational considering the stakes.
In my days, some of these are called "playing the ball on the ground". A few others are "forward pass".
Judging from the title, I expected more Sonny Bill Williams if I'm being honest. Some of these passes are basic passes
Freddie Burns vs Harlequins & LRZ vs Connacht
5:14 thats a forward pass
You missed Dan Biggar's through the legs to Josh Adams, Wales v. Italy, Feb 2020
Charles Piutau set up try pass for Read in test match against France 2013 missing here
Is nobody going to say anything about how he caught that ball 6:55
One better than another. Whatta great sport ❤️ rugby 🔥 High performance sportsmen🥇👏👏👏
5:38 did Nonu lose a bet with that 1 eye brow?
SBW should have more clips here..and I'm an Aussie fan lol
Caude Cooper had the most magical try against Force
Had to stick that women’s one in there 😂 See that every game
Best ones here are 1:20 and 3:50
what about that racing scrum half’s one this season?
In Nz we teach that Sinckler pass at Ripper level 😆😆
4:00 and 4:40 are the best imo
Dan Biggar's no-look backwards between the legs pass to Josh Adams in the 2020 Six Nations doesn't even get a look in? Far better than several of the passes here.
*Kyle Sinckler throws a standard u11 pass
Sky Sports: ahh yes, flair
Japan try vs Scotland 2019 world cup?
2:16 wow
Sinckler one is only in cause they gotta make the special kid feel involved
How about Carlos Spencer’s backwards between the legs pass?
Baptiste Serin's pass vs the All Blacks should surely be in here
Every kid knows how to flick to pass but it's having the balls to try it in the game
What about brad Webber and Shaun Stevenson for the chiefs agianst the Waratahs
Amazing to think that Sonny Bill Williams' influence is responsible for about 50% of these passes.
I was only expecting Fiji to be in this video.
They missed the cokinasiga pass to curry at the very beginning of the Italy game 2019
Top14?! I guess it would be a much longer clip.
Ricky flutey made the British and Irish lions team?? He would have never made an All Blacks reserve team but made the lions team?? They have half of the tier one teams to choose from and he was good enough. Wow
Nobody....
Skysports: Sinckler throws a basic pass, ooooo what a pass
Dan Carter, RWC 2015, Quarter Final vs France. Enough said 😉
Back passes changed how rugby is played hands down. Anyone know who did it first?? Just curious.
Where's the Toonie Flip, THE flair pass
Ya..... I miss rugby too
I can hear Campese asking Tim Horan, "Yeah. Right - and how many of these are in a World Cup Semi-Final?"
"Or a Hong Kong final?" replies every Fijian Rugby fan ever ...
You could have a seperate reel of just quade copper and none from razzke dazzle king carlos spencer?
Manasa Mataele's pass (the first clip) to me is the most ridiculous, pause it and look at his body position!
Before that, leyds & coopers (not seen here) were my top 2
What about Duane Vermeulen to Fourie du Preez at 2015 World Cup quater finals against Wales?
Bit surprised to not see anything from King Carlos.
Where are Pio Tuwais offloads? and Chase Tiatias pass went like 4 meters forward 😂😂
There were so many better passes that have been made...well done sky. You cocked this one up also
What about Teddy Iribaren vs Munster!!
where is the one from Spencer to Rokocoko?
Needs more sonny bill. Also forcing an English player into the mix is just hilarious
Carlos Spencer, David Campese Serge Blanco...Didier Codorniou
There's one more in Malaysia vs singapore in Sea Games 2017
Totally Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) dominated clip. Real flair. Got to giggle at Sky adding two pop passes from English players as "flair". Might be a bit of a salty comment, but common... flair passes?
Didn't even read any of the comments before I posted this...lol!
Do they know what Rugby Union is? There are clips from Sevens and League in this.
Carlos spencer pass under the legs for the all blacks i cant remember the year but that was a good one but alot of these are newish and 2 of tem were just 🤔
2003 RWC v Springboks.
