Footballers bawl their little eyes out after breaking a nail. Abendanon got smashed time after time after time that game but kept getting back on his feet. He might not be the biggest guy out there but he's got an incredible attitude.
Ben Young’s recently said that the Tuilagi’s targeted him in this game because Alesana made a no arms tackle on Abendanon in a previous game and subsequently got banned, missing the Prem Final. Pretty savage.
Saw that video. One of the Tuilagis got banned for fouling Abendanon ..so all the Islanders in the team (Mafi included) made a deal that next time they would foul and smash Abendanon as much as they could "in revenge"? I fail to understand the logic in any of that.
So the poor wee babies got upset and through their childish toys out of the pram? All because of something they did and got red carded for? Does show the logic and basic intelligence of islanders. Shoulder charges and cheap high shots. Boring! Hats off to Abendanon showed his class over basic thuggery
That guy was a real hero...how many players would keep playing after so many monster hits? I never knew about Abendanon but today I'm proud to finally see him in play! Congrats dude, you just won all my respect!!!
I'm Samoan and love seeing the big hits, but I have a lot of respect for Abendanon for taking it and getting back up, even if it took awhile..most guys get hit like that once and are out of the game..
That English player has got a lot of heart. You sure know how to breed them tough over there. What an amazing feat to get up after getting smashed no thanks to the hospitals given by team mates.
This guy is a real rugby player. He might not be that big, but he has heart. You have to respect that. When you have someone like that that takes a punish so hard, theirs no laugh, but nothing but love. Real warrior.
I dont know much about abendanon but hes a great example of a rugby player from what i see in this video,never giving up and has the balls to test those brothers time and time again even when they catch him with some foul tackles,never back down is what this guy knows best
Good lord, I feel so bad for Abendanon for being in the wrong place at the wrong time to take all those hits, but he is an absolute champion for getting right back up everytime and not causing a fuss about it. Good guy. Great guy.
Abendanon didn't shy away from a fucking thing! He never threw a hospital pass to avoid contact, never mishandled to brace for contact and he completed all the technical aspects of his game with aplomb. Absolute warrior with a huge heart!
Good on you Abendanon, I'm Samoan and I'm proud of him for getting right back up and playing the game....He's a true champion. a massive big ups to the brothers also......
Took all those big hits but kept getting back up, still made his carries, caught some bullshit loose balls, cover-defended, and stepped both of the Tuilagi bros. Respect.
Lmfao..The commentary killed me..."He may well have a dead gluteus maximus" 2nd commentator: "may i say he was great in gladiator.." Lol tuff guy though for takin all those hits! Much respect!
If anything Abendanon came out of that toughest on the field. I give him more respect than those twice his size looking to smash him. The more he kept getting up and defiant the more he wins.
That man has the heart of a lion. He's under 90 kilos and he can take that kind of battering and not only get up every time, but still have the courage to run straight at both of them again. If that was any other player, they'd be digging them out of the ground with a shovel.
@44redman1 Ben cohen is another example of that! He used to be an international for England and he was amazing! Then he left his club for what many people suspect was money, he then stopped performing aswell and then eventually dissapeared from English rugby, as far as I can tell he now lives in the US.
I've never seen someone get hit by Alesana tuilagni (Spelling?) That many times and still jog off the field. Well done, this guy has a huge heart to carry on. Alesana is a lose cannon. He usually sends people off the field with hit's like that.
Both you gotta love 'em both, but in the end the one who took the punishment time after time and kept getting up is awesome!!! Love my Samoan brothers but Abendanon is my new hero lol.
The video says about the Tuilagi brothers but i reckon Abendanon deserves recognition for makin it to the end
Big L tough as nails
Bro he's a champion for this one
S ćčbi79
What a pair of cheap shot Prats!
Big ups to the champ for not giving up
Abendanon = Samoan-magnet.
It's like he sprayed himself with eau de cornbeef before taking the field.
lol "eaud de cornbeef" brilliant
eau de pisupo
e sole....corned beef and casava spray. lollz
Bruh, you got me good!
I'm legit waking up my keige laughing too loud over here, kefs!
Surely eau de fasi povi has to have come out by now lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dictionary: Abandon- give up completely (a practice or a course of action).
: Abendanon- never give up.
+Toy Mit You made my day thanks !!!!
Video should be renamed 'Abendanon survives Tuilagi brothers'
Illtud Deiniol more like “tuilagi bros couldn’t beat this guy’
Commentator: Hes going to need a stiff drink at half time.
That was in one half?!?!?!?!?!
My thoughts too and then when he's substituted who in their right mind would want to take his place?
Hahahaha spot on
😂😂😂😂
Samoan from NZ here, and man.. gotta give props to Abendanon. He literally got 5 possible game ending hits and kept on getting up.. Respect USO ✊🏾
fucking well played to the lad, got back up after every tackle
Abendanon - 80 kg.
Tuilgai brothers - over 110 kg.
So your saying white people are small ahahahah welcome to polynesian rugby lil man
That has to be one of the stupidest comments I've ever read.
Seriously, congratulations.
New Zealand 19-7 👍🏻😄🏴
New Zealand Samoans are short and fat. English men are tall and bulk.
Took it like an absolute hero
do his teammates not like him? some filthy hospital passes there
Definitely at least two suicide passes there 😂
He is not necesseraliy strong or hard, but he was able to endure multiple heavy hits which is the definition of tough.
Footballers bawl their little eyes out after breaking a nail.
Abendanon got smashed time after time after time that game but kept getting back on his feet. He might not be the biggest guy out there but he's got an incredible attitude.
He gets hit because he's brave, courageous and a very good player. If you are not brave you would never get hit.
MantisAtlantis I don’t think that’s how it works, bro hahaha
Yes and the definition of insanity is repeating an action over and over expecting a different outcome, run at a Samoan get smashed.
@@thebitchinthecorner2252 Not like he had a choice, his teammates kept feeding him suicide passes.
I'm Tuilagi till I die, but this guy earns all the respect he gets from taking those hits and getting back up again.
Ben Young’s recently said that the Tuilagi’s targeted him in this game because Alesana made a no arms tackle on Abendanon in a previous game and subsequently got banned, missing the Prem Final.

@@powerbite92 really shows the intelligence of the Tuilagi boys eh

Well, he's got a story to tell his kids and grandkids about the time he took On TWO Tuilagi's and a Tongan and Survived LOL.
"Someone fetch that man a pair of slippers"
He has been absolutely smashed and not once did he think about giving up
Now this is rugby! This guy defines what it means to be a rugby player!
MAD RESPECT FOR HIM put up with those hits and still playing he inspires me
Very tough lad! And that cover tackle! No wonder he became European player of the year a few years later! Respect!
Not only he had two Samoans on now he gets Tongan,,,,to funny
Fk i heard that too started cracking up LMAO
Best fullback we ever had. Quick feet, able to read the game and 100% committed. I was gutted when he left.
I'm Samoan and love seeing the big hits, but I have a lot of respect for Abendanon for taking it and getting back up, even if it took awhile..most guys get hit like that once and are out of the game..
Abednanon, trooper mate
That English player has got a lot of heart. You sure know how to breed them tough over there. What an amazing feat to get up after getting smashed no thanks to the hospitals given by team mates.
If one of the Tuilagi brothers merely looked at me I’d be out for 6-8 weeks
shit that white boy tough asf
"white boy" lol if u gonna be a racist shit just go back to NFL there is no place for this in rugby
2.07. Abendannon has hurt himself. Lol. I think it was actually the Pacific island monster that hurt him. Haha
epic comment
BIG FKN RESPECT TO THIS FULLBACK CHANGE THE TITILE TO HIM🙏🏽💯
This guy is a real rugby player. He might not be that big, but he has heart. You have to respect that. When you have someone like that that takes a punish so hard, theirs no laugh, but nothing but love. Real warrior.
I dont know much about abendanon but hes a great example of a rugby player from what i see in this video,never giving up and has the balls to test those brothers time and time again even when they catch him with some foul tackles,never back down is what this guy knows best
this is one of if not the most gutsy performances i have ever seen in any sport
I love how the advert I watched before this was of a footballer diving (snickers ad). Then seeing the contrast here.
Good lord, I feel so bad for Abendanon for being in the wrong place at the wrong time to take all those hits, but he is an absolute champion for getting right back up everytime and not causing a fuss about it.
Good guy. Great guy.
Came to look after listening for the love of Rugby. This was brutal
Abendanon didn't shy away from a fucking thing! He never threw a hospital pass to avoid contact, never mishandled to brace for contact and he completed all the technical aspects of his game with aplomb. Absolute warrior with a huge heart!
hahaha....poor guy he has to cope with all the bad and hospital passes...
Never heard of Abendanon til today. Respect for taking that punishment & walking it off🇦🇸🇼🇸
that image of him on the bench sums it up. fair play to the man. warrior
tough as fuck that wee lad ... respect
Even he got smashed he is still a strong and brave lad
Good on you Abendanon, I'm Samoan and I'm proud of him for getting right back up and playing the game....He's a true champion.
a massive big ups to the brothers also......
Abendanon has a rugby heart thats for sure. Well done bro. Has my respect for 200%.
What a tough guy, Abendanon soaked it up. Respect.
Good on him for getting up each time and not giving up.
Dude just showed why rugby players are some of the toughest athletes ever
This guy should be a man of the match.for putting up with those big hits.he deserves a medal.
Now that's a rugby player. Stands back up even when he's facing the Tuilagi brothers. Credit to the guy from an islander. ✊👌🇫🇯
It takes courage to keep getting up and plaing on after being hit repeatedly by the Tuilagi brothers! all guts and heart! respect!
02:00
"Abendanon's hurt himself".
Hell of a way to describe being smashed by a 120kg Samoan.
To give it perspective, I watched a Man Utd game the other week, and that Fernandes guy went down when someone touched his ear.
"somebody get that man a pair of slippers" lmao what a tough guy
this is what I like to see in rugby, people not moaning after taking a big hit, and getting on with the game.
Took all those big hits but kept getting back up, still made his carries, caught some bullshit loose balls, cover-defended, and stepped both of the Tuilagi bros. Respect.
Haha respect, being tackled by the tuilagi brothers ain't a easy thing to get up from
Abendanon is solid being able to take those hits
Awesome tackle from Tuilagi brothers 💪
Gotta love a Tuilagi SMASH! Fair play to Abendanon though! Took some guts to get up, shake yourself down and just get on with the game after that!
3.17 -- that was one hell of a covering tackle.
Fair play to him :O ... Took a hell of a beating and kept going, That's what rugby's all about :)
Rather hit by a truck than Tuilgai :)
a lot of respect for abendanon for taking the hits
man what a tough nut, took those hits like a brick wall.
ABENDANON... KAN SURELY TAKE SUM HITZ... HE GOT UP AFTER EVERY HIT TOO... COURAGEOUS BRO...
2:04 bath player saw TWO!!!! Tuilagi's coming and err done the smart thing
He said he had to go up with a samoan all day and now he gets a tongan😂💀
I don't support Bath but this guy is a true player. Top respect for him
Lmfao..The commentary killed me..."He may well have a dead gluteus maximus" 2nd commentator: "may i say he was great in gladiator.." Lol tuff guy though for takin all those hits! Much respect!
“He earned his money today.” 😂😹
Fuck nothing but respect to this guy, heart of a champion.
If anything Abendanon came out of that toughest on the field. I give him more respect than those twice his size looking to smash him. The more he kept getting up and defiant the more he wins.
Manu is the only brother to get close to wrapping especially on international level
What a tough dude. He seen tuilangi coming but he still tries to secure the ball. Fucking champ
That man has the heart of a lion. He's under 90 kilos and he can take that kind of battering and not only get up every time, but still have the courage to run straight at both of them again. If that was any other player, they'd be digging them out of the ground with a shovel.
Turns out there was a vendetta
bath players are the frimpongs of rugby, just look at banahan, gibbs and as you've just seen abendanon, simply class
2 samoans and a Tongan...this guy deserves a fucking medal...legends, great heart!!!
@44redman1 Ben cohen is another example of that! He used to be an international for England and he was amazing! Then he left his club for what many people suspect was money, he then stopped performing aswell and then eventually dissapeared from English rugby, as far as I can tell he now lives in the US.
Respect to him there - some of those hits shorten your life expectancy!
I've never seen someone get hit by Alesana tuilagni (Spelling?) That many times and still jog off the field. Well done, this guy has a huge heart to carry on. Alesana is a lose cannon. He usually sends people off the field with hit's like that.
That 3rd tackle from behind was like being charged by a rhino.
@omally953
I agree mate, am a tigers and tuilagi fan, but he really took some punishment that game and got back up :)
the commentary lmao he didnt just get hit by samoan by a tongan lmao
Gotta admire Abendanon... And im going to miss Allesana, big hits is what makes this sport so exciting!!!
Abendanon wasnt having a good day. Tough bloke. good on him for getting up and for keeping on playing
Much respect to this player. Malo sole, you def earned your slippers.
Why has he only got two EPS caps?
So underrated.
Fair play to the guy. Tuilagi brothers are smashing everyone lately.
Amazing, just amazing what a fella. To take that abuse and carry on what a excellent patron of the game.
gotta give it to Abendanon for standing up after those hits
Man props to Abendanon, what a champ
He's referring to rugby but I agree with your sentiments!
This man deserves a beer
As a bath supporter i have to say he runs into tackles like this most weeks as he always runs at forwards hes got balls of titanium
Both you gotta love 'em both, but in the end the one who took the punishment time after time and kept getting up is awesome!!! Love my Samoan brothers but Abendanon is my new hero lol.
Abendanon is the definition of a tough rugby player; he just took the hits and carried on playing. I bet that he was sore for the next two days.
I think he was sored for an entire week
He's like Terminator.
Commentator - Abendonen’s hurt himself
Tuilagi - No no....i think we did all that damage 👍🏻
this man is only capped twice by england which is heartbreaking
