As a South African, you need to check out more NZ rugby.

Akira and Reiko Ioane both started rugby in New Zealand 7s before making it big in 15’s. Love the reactions brother💯💣

Stiff arm was called a "fend" for me growing up in NZ.

I love the way you break down and explain all the moves. 👏👏

Hell yeah. Thank you for checking him out. Great reaction.

Rieko will always be in my top 10 for speedsters . Would be cool to see you do a react to Rene Ranger.

Never fail with the reactions bro!! "Rugby set plays" is another video that equivalent to NFL trick plays. Has alot of those inside passes you mentioned in the video. 🙌🏽 Keep em coming bro!

You have some good technical insight. There's many aspects of American Football that can be easily applied to rugby. Great upload sir

Been watching rugby all my life but learn a lot from your videos - - - next level 10/10 🏴

Being a kiwi & listening to you break down rugby nfl sort of style is different so you have my sub..👍🏽

Rugby teaches from a young age 'they cant go anywhere without their legs'. A textbook tackle starts at hip height to take the momentum out of the run and slides down to their ankles to brig them down. This isnt a dominant tackle though. What you saw in the video is a dominant tackle, meet them at the gain line, hip height, lift one leg and drive through. Slows the attack down, puts them on the back foot, gives your defence chance to organise themselves.

The best way I can describe it is : New Zealand are like surgeons, extremely intelligent in their plays and delicate with their hands, whereas South Africa are like construction workers, they work hard but get the job done. (Which of the two do you think enjoys that after work beer the most? :))

10.46 the winger looked to be in front of the kicker,great analysis well done

You’re a better rugby analyst than the Australian rugby commentators. 😂 Only Tim is the one I like. Great analysis as always bro. The eyes can full a whole defence structure. The QBs in the NFL are the Master at this. Reiko d is underrated. He’s a workhorse. This play was amazing by the ABs 11:31. Travis does this with KC a lot. I love the way Trav looks for the lateral when he catches the ball. I swear Andy Reid will be an awesome Rugby coach. We call it Hand Off or Fending in Rugby. The stiff arm

That last play is Teddy Thomas (French winger) chasing. Freak athlete but very inconsistent defensively speaking. Could have been immense for France but a couple of flaws hard to ignore, plus he's quite injury-prone. Do check him out though, not many equivalents as a runner in the world when fit. Good vid!

his brother Akira was the one earmarked for greatness, captain of the NZ under 20 team, also an All Black, but coach Steve Hansen caused quite a stir by dropping Julian Savea to pick the 19 year old Rieko for the Lions series in 2017 , big call

I love how he said ioane

That crossfield kick try you watched over and over again. One question: How far offside do you think the kick receiver was?

Ol' mate at 15:37 is Akira Ioane, Reiko's older brother.

MYY GUYY YOU REACT TO IT 💪

Growing up in New Zealand, the tackle technique I was taught was referred to as "Cheek to cheek". Meaning face cheek to ass cheek to help ensure a safe and secure tackle. It helped the younger ones growing up get used to wrapping their arms around peoples legs and try and get them to get low and tackle hard with a shoulder into the oppositions hips, causing them to topple over.

A lot of rugby tackles are from the side that's why it's safer to have your head behind, if the tackle is more square on its not so mutch of a danger where you have your head.

His 3 at the start was a Melo tribute

I think there may be some confusion as to how you were explaining the tackle differences. When you were explaining the Football tackle technique. That was exactly the same as Rugby technique. Rugby we are taught to put the head off to the side of the hip, like what reiko did. I think what others in the past have talked about is what Footballers used o be taught which was to jam the helmet under the chin of the player.

@QSNgg When you put your head across the hip in rugby, it is known as using the 'wrong shoulder' as the risk with this technique is the driving knee of the attacker can easily knock you out cold without a helmet like american football.

11:18 I think is where you might separate pure rugby from calculated rugby, where Americans love to look into, respectfully. We only ever count all time tackles, tries, metres, assists etc etc, only sometimes but what I kindah mean is it’s never the main highlight of a game or career or highlighted upon sometimes. We just like to memorise it because of either how good it looks visually or how much ability we perceive it took to do it. because it could happen at any time of the game for general play 80 minutes. Yes it’s all forms and structure but running rugby has always been the purest form. To sum it up, a meter amount of space is all that’s needed to make something out of nothing within the purest form of rugby. That wasn’t even set play it was general play. That was off the cuff. Cross kick, catch and back door pass then just heaving it to the try line. If you calculate too much, or calculate to a fault then it affects your reaction time to something that should never have happened. You get stepped or you get fended or you just lose sight of the winger creeping on the sideline. Boom. Meat pie

You should watch highlights from the quarter finals of rugby champions cup, all the games where amazing

We call a 'stiff arm' a hand-off. You should check out Ma'a Nonu or Sonny Billy Williams - both were centres for the All Blacks, some of the greatest to play the game.

i would love to see you reacting to match highlights as well

Great vid bro. Try watching Caleb Clarke as well. Another one of our great wingers for the Blues and All Blacks.

Powerful man you said on the outside ... is Reiko's big brother Akira.

He is much better in every possible way than Louis Rees Zammit and if people think Zammit is faster they are delusional.

So sorry for commenting on something outside of the video posted, but if you can get your hands on the new documentary Chasing the Sun 2, you will not be disappointed! It gets to the heart of so much that South African latest world cup campaign and rugby are about! There are plenty of reviews by episode out now. The best ones I think are from the channels Egg Chasers and the The Big Jim show! Good luck!

Said ... You ... Are ... Knee

Can you do a bryan Habana one please

Check out All Black Frank Bunce the tackle master

you got to react to marcus smith

The best Rugby coaching video of all time: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d69xqa1119HYonU.htmlsi=vKFwc8lv8SMRESf7 The tackle lesson is the best I've seen.

Should watch Johnny may if you haven’t already

Can American football players tackle like a rubgy player? They always seem to barge more with their shoulders rather than wrapping arms around the legs

Stiff arm - fend

most of these clips he was younger then 27

yo-AH-knee

his last name pronounced yo-an-ee

Can you please watch Damian willemse

Andre esterhuizen

Check Rupeni for speed

Damian mckenzie

Watch SA school rugby 🙏

Please watch damian mckenzie

First

no offense but 'ioane' is pronounxed you-ah-neigh

Always thought Ioane was a great player. However, his disrespectful comment to Johnny Sexton (An Irish legend and legend of the game) after the All Blacks beat the Irish team in the 2023 RWC QF changed my mind and he portrayed himself as arrogant and disrespectful. Rugby is centered around respect and values, Ioane doesn’t echo this.

If you don't learn the proper pronunciation of a persons name you show disrespect, even unintentionally, but you perpetuate the mispronunciation when others listen to you. The English vowel sounds are not the same in Polynesia. Please learn that the american way is not the correct way internationally. The NZ commentators pronounce it correctly. Love your rugby reactions. Great job👍👍
