Go back and watch the dan carter one again. Then watch it once more to make sure... His whole play is ridiculous! The dummy, then hand off then an incredible pass, faster than the eye can see all whilst about to take a hit! He basically takes out five players!
Legend
Just a ridiculous rugby player!
Ben Smith's was absolutely EVIL. What a player
a true talk to the hand moment
Surely we can't forget Dean Mumm's monster fend that literally picked-up and face planted Marcel Coetzee?!
Who remembers that...?
I remember that! If you look at the slow mo replay, you can see one of Deans foot kind of give way, as if he is about to twist it but then he finds his footing again... freak!
They didn't show it because it wasn't World Cup footage. It was in super rugby if I remember correctly
Extraordinary piece of footage for one of the best all times fends!
That 2015 all blacks team is the greatest team I've ever seen. Mealamu, Retallick, , Mccaw, Reid, Kaino, Aaron, Carter, nonu, conrad, Ben, savea, all those mentioned were some of the best to ever put on a black jersey, in one team, devastating
After 50 odd years of watching every all blacks test. I agree 100% some all time greats. Woodcock, mealamu, kaino, McCaw. Carter, Nonu, Smith.
Okay, I'm at number #4 and Jonathan Davies' palm off against the All Blacks better be on here!
I think it's only games during the RWC, because there's not a single on of Cory Jane, an he had one of the stiffest arms out
Corey Jane had one of the best fend offs.
Ben Smith is absolute class - so disappointed Hansen didn't put him in the starting XV against England in the 2019 rwc semifinal
Name a better duo... AB coaches picking the wrong players, out of position in a world cup team.
I think Kenya vs France...Dennis Ombachi gave the best handoff ever....True Shujaa
5:46 I'm sorry what??!! That is redonculous.
From another planet, goat 10
What is your favourite hand-off moment? Let us know in the comments!
Can you PLEASE do a video of the most controversial decssions in world cup history? Sa vs Eng 2007,s try and 2011 Wales vs france 's red card has to be up there!
Ben Smith
Why is World Rugby of all channels celebrating and showcasing hand-offs that right now would be deemed dangerous play and be Red cards??
@@randallklaassen3490 same
Ben Smith is absolute class
How often in ABs try highlights is Aaron Smith sliding in just afterwards for a perfectly timed celebration?
All the time, he sets up a few but has great vision
Awesome!
(In canada these are 'stiff arm's'.
'Hand off' is a type of pass.)
ジュリアンサヴェアのフィジカルエグい
それでいてあの快足
バケモンやろ
Ben Smith🖤🖤🖤
How is Ben Smith's fend nit higher up in the list?
In Nz and i think Australia we call that a don't argue
interesting video for wr to post a few days after finn russell's red card in paris
Aye but difference is finn was leading with a forearm rather than a stiff arm palm first fend off. I think anyway.
@@garethpatterson4964 Contact with the face. Contact with the eye area. Can't see people getting away with this kind of thing anymore
Surely any hand to face needs to be treated within the same framework of the laws as head high tackles?
Jonah lomu is the Mike Tyson,Tom Brady,Leo Messi of rugby no question he was un--Tackleable
🥳🥳80th comment 🥳🥳
Le bruit de la foule pour l'essai de Chabal, mon dieu que ça manque les stades remplis !
Dan Carter🖤🖤
How are hand offs to the face legal these days?
Why shouldn’t they be legal? Handoffs aren’t dangerous in 99% of situations but are a great attacking tool.
@@evanmoore8077 understand I don't personally think they should be illegal. But it's still contact to the head area. And a rugby player running full force into another player only being stopped by a hand off? There must be some sort of force surely?
the savea one vs france isnt a hand off its a violation
Could say the same about every one of them, it's almost unfair!
@@WorldRugby i completely agree. the one by ben smith on tomos Williams is pure beauty
No Jonathan Davies vs NZ in the Lions 3rd test? The guy got to see his own calfs from behind.
Makes you think the way things are going how long it’ll be till hand-offs are made illegal
Yeh, I think it should be banned, I might get a poke in the eye or the nostril! But it's also contact to my head and with force.
Hand offs to the face should be under current interpretations. Anywhere where else shouldnt be an issue, but I dont see how we can allow a deliberate contact when inadvertant ones receive red cards
@@rodneylowe9526 well yeah. Some of them can be pretty nasty.
Rodney Lowe yeah, good point.
Ruby's Greatest Hand Off (Rugby World Cup Edition)
Not sure even a hand in the face at full speed is any different to new high tackle laws - for debate 🤔
Technically you are correct, open hand maybe?
no. a hand off is not a punch and thats not what these guys are doing (the good ones, any bad ones might be illegal). If you try to punch it wont work (actually it probably would but no, thats not real rugby) and thats why thats not what they are doing, they do what works. Its more like an aikido throw and its one of the most subtle and skillful arts displayed by ruby players. No debate. Dont. Seriously, there is no need. A hand off doesnt hurt. It hurts much less than it does to tackle someone. We dont need a debate here, the hand off must stay, its a thing of beauty. Not thuggery.
Big bus Savea lol
Why are World Rugby showing this video, some of this would be yellow/red cards under the current laws.
All would be?
Good point haha
I’m new to the sport so I’m wondering why all these tries are legal yet Finn Russell is banned three games? His was clearly unintentional but most of these hands to the face plays are clearly on purpose?
Red Cards. Ben Smith, Jack Dempsey and Faf De Klerk.
Game’s gone
Are these all red card offences now? Deliberate contact with the head?
Su tutti:
Ben Smith e San Carter
Ben Smith: Hits an opponent in the face - Makes it into 'Top 10 Hand-Offs'
Finn Russell: Puts his hand up to defend a high tackle - Can't be having that, it's red for you
Can't lead with the forearm.
Ok so that’s allowed but Finn gets a red, ridiculous
Just went and looked at russells that was a forearm to the throat and they hit head on, an open hand from a player running in the same direction is obviously viewed differently by the referee, and me
Faf!
Dan lekur
Fol fol fol
Wait... that's illegal !
Hand to face is forbidden right?
I was thinking the same. How many of these would have resulted in red cards if played today?
@@strangeunidude even today referees don't punish this kind of fault
Agree!
I'm not sure I've ever seen a hand-off get punished... have a look at the official rules.
@@nathanpollard1223 I already saw an hand off being penalised and the law says that it could be punished if it's dangerous so when you're wrong please be nice
Ya parece la progresia del rugby. Es un hand off nada más.
Kind of a pointless video with contact to the head and neck area now being looked at for cards
First views
What a stupid highlights clip. These are all red cards under current laws. These were exciting and entertaining when they happened, but now mean playing the rest of the match with 14 men
I think we should remove all contact from the game as these new bullshit rules are ruing the sport already. So why not just make it tag rugby so everyone can be safe and bored to death....
