His contribution to WP and Stormers was immense one of my sons role models as far as coming from small beginings.
This guy, I love this guy. Enjoyed his contribution at the stormers
Well done Huw Jones and what a lovely relaxed interviewing style Elma Smit has
My thought exactly on Elma. Very good interviewer (like the touch of giving his dog a snack at the start)
Played against him in wp club rugby super league b. He was immense for False Bay rugby club. They went back up to Wp super league A again. Amazed how he flew thru the ranks. He so blessed...
Hoping to see you back in a Scotland shirt, number 13..all the best
Legend - so happy to see him hitting it up in this Six Nations as top try scorer thus far. Keep it up, Huw.
Great to have you back in Scotland 🏴 for this year and hopefully more. Good luck with Glasgow, hope you enjoy your time on and off the pitch. For Scotland would be great to see you become a regular in the 13 or 15 shirt 🤞
Obviously South Africa have Am and a plethora of class centres. But it is mental to think he could have been called up for South Africa (assuming he had lived in SA all the three years)
He could have been but we never would have used him. Consider the calibre of Madosh Tambwe, not even considered for the Boks because he does not have a SA passport. Same would have applied with Huw - he might have lived here for the residency period, but he does not have SA citizenship.
Edit: Also overlooking the fact that Scotland were watering at the mouth at the prospect of having this kind of talent at their disposal and not needing to pay for it...
I was of the opinion he should have been.
Loved the interview.🙌 One thing though, should have edited Huw Jones at 00:29 with a different colour outline or positioned it more to the right (in the shadow) so it could've been more readable.👀 The white T-shirt really through a spanner in the works.😂
One of the few Europeans to make it into domestic SA rugby 💯💯
only two i think? michalak and him.
@@RabbitholeIsrael Jamie Roberts had a stint with the Stormers before COVID hit.
There were more than a few even before the professional era.
I'm a bulls fan but enjoyed watching this guy play for wp/stormers. What an incredible story.
You will always be a Stormer to us, Huw!
Getting Huw back in a Scotland shirt will be great! He's got great skills and pace for any of the back 5 positions, but what I really want to see is him in a centre pairing with Chris Harris. Huw's slick attacking skills paired with Chris's defensive skills is something that must be tried out.
They're both 13's though. Quins played Jones a wee bit at 12 but it didn't go great.
Powerful man he is, hard to bring down.
I never want to see Chris Harris in a Scotland shirt again.
@@pyeman6819 Why? He's probably the best defender in the 13 channel in the world.
Looking forward seeing Huw back playing against the Stormers in the new season.
Wild path to international rugby.
As a WP/Stormers supporter, I was really disappointed when you left Cape town
Great player, would like to see him doing well again in Scottish Rugby. When he was at Glasgow the first time round they had an abundance of centres and Dave Rennie never really favoured him. This time round I think he stands a really good chance of starting regularly. A fit Chris Harris will always take the 13 jersey for Scotland due to organising the defence but if Huw turned himself into more of a 12 play maker role, I think they would be a great pairing.
For god sake get Huw back in the Scotland 🏴 Team for the 6 nations 2023!
He is and always has been world class,his performance for Warriors against DHL Stormers last week was outstanding!
What a try!🏴
Class player
How seems like such a nice guy 👍🏻👍🏻
Such a good player
Make another vid. How South African Rugby players made NH Rugby. ;)
His size and side step had me so confused that he wasn’t South African
Would prefer to see Huw starting over Smith @ 15 today, that’s for sure.
We need Elma Smit back on SuperSport !!!!!!!!
Imagine her and Motshidisi together doing a show, OMG!! just beautiful.
Hi there
Dam she is 🥰 cute
Well done Hue
Have he and van der Merwe ever played together?
Can someone tell me why he isn’t playing for Scotland?
Injury
He got injured just before 2019 WC😢
A posh English accent, welsh name, played rugby in South Africa but represents Scotland 🤷♀️
He was born in Edinburgh as was made clear in the interview. Did you chose to leave that fact out of your comment so as not to undermine your bitching?
He was born in Edinburgh. It’s not that uncommon to have an English accent but be Scottish, it’s the case for me.
Global village, ne? 🙂
Nick Easter did the same thing...
Not sure if that should count as the same as he didn't play for a senior professional side, although apparently WP were interested after he played for WP A. He did return to SA as a coach some time later - to the Sharks. Successful stint there.
"Uhm" count: 2 373 255.
First
There's hardly any water left in Cape Town
Our dams are full...
Where are you from?
@@melanchorly7618 good, glad to hear. So day zero is a distant memory?
@@hernan5940 Yes sir, but admittedly it may reach a point where there is a draught again. Within 10 years time. Its something to do with western coasts of continents and high pressure cells leading cold fronts further south past Cape Town.
She said a lot of the SA rugby spaces are Afrikaans😂😂😂 how about all of them
Sharks?
Never been to SA but my old teammate said his meetings were in Xhosa??
@@headintheclouds6935 Not true mate. With half of any squad being white and most white people not speaking Xhosa, it would be counterproductive.
@@Karma-qt4ji You dont even know the team he played for then you just assume the teams demographic??? There are quite a few Xhosa and African speaking teams in SA.
@@business3867 born in South Africa a very long time ago, I moved to Cape Town in the mid 80's and lived there until 2016 when I moved to the UK. From the first time I started watching rugby in the late 70's, I was a Province fan and that obviously bumped up to Stormers fan for SR and now URC; I studied at UCT and supported the Ikeys. I think I am pretty clued up on what happens in rugby in those parts.
False Bay rugby club is located in the upmarket area of Constantia - I assure you, it is not a club where Xhosa is the main language.
Anything you would like to add?
I like this vid, but it's such a pity it's for the old boys club WR. Don't want to support these power hungry guys.
Dropping Jones for Harris proves that Townsend isn't as good a coach as he thinks he is.
So SA must groom European players?
I personally am grateful he is not in the SA setup. Like Van der walt and schoeman whobare playing worse than for their SA franchisees.
Let them go to Scotland etc... we have so much players of color that out plays them. Huge talent.
Dont understand why people talk about average rugby players. He has the talent of high school kids
