As a rugby fan, I like to make tributes of players and tournaments. My ultimate goals with this hobby are to cover players who have never received tributes before, and to entertain fellow rugby fans across the world.
Being a student of film, I also enjoy the occasional foray into micro-budget filmmaking; most recently with the sci-fi comedy, Space Tourist.

Brett Connon - True North | Newcastle Falcons Rugby Tribute
Amidst a plethora of departing players, Brett Connon recently pledged his commitment to his boyhood club; signing a two-year contract extension that will guarantee more highlights from him as a Newcastle Falcon.
From his sinuous overhead passes to his trusty boot, Connon has been one of my favourite players to watch. Whilst the cultural zeitgeist obsesses over Fin Smith, Marcus Smith et al, I'm just here to appreciate his interception against Bristol.
What can we expect from Connon in his forthcoming years at Kingston Park? Hopefully this tribute will provide a glimpse!

Fin Baxter - Torpedo | Harlequins/England Rugby Tribute
zhlédnutí 116Před 14 hodinami
Playing under the tutelage of veteran prop Joe Marler, protegee Fin Baxter is quickly establishing himself as the bright future of Harlequins and England Rugby's scrummaging endeavours. Like Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Baxter is not only known for his scrum dominance, but also his fearsome tackling abilities and inexorable power from close range. Whatever happens this summer, England know who to call...

Saracens have been bolstered by the arrival of their Argentinian contingent in Lucio Cinti and Juan Martin Gonzalez, both players who were briefly unattached due to London Irish's demise. The latter has been a revelation during his first season at the StoneX, oftentimes combining with his Exile counterpart to score tries that the average back would be jealous of. Gonzalez's running and passing ...

Is it surprising that Greg Fisilau is being tipped for an England call-up against the All Blacks this summer? Absolutely not. A product of Wasps Academy, Fisilau has been showcasing his abilities as an out-and-out Number 8 for Exeter Chiefs and England's U20s side. In his first full season, he's made his intentions very clear to Steve Borthwick. This tribute was requested by @ Joestone . Enjoy!...

During the Papa Johns Community Cup Finals, a young man named Tyler Gordon-Oke stepped up for Barnstaple RFC; giving one of the best performances of his life as he marshalled the Boys of Barum to within a whisker of a trophy they travelled to Twickenham to win.

zhlédnutí 406Před 2 měsíci
Following his monstrous 'don't argue' against Josh Hodge two weeks ago, it dawned on me that Ben Stevenson has been an unsung great of the game; often overshadowed by Adam Radwan and Mateo Carreras before he left Newcastle Falcons. He wasn't called up to train with England prior to the 2023 World Cup for no reason. Stevenson possesses the aerial dominance that Steve Borthwick would expect of hi...

What do you think of Brett Connon? Do you agree that he's the Premiership's most underrated fly-half? Comment below!
What do you think of Fin Baxter? Will he come off the bench against New Zealand? Comment below!
UPDATE CONCERNING TRIBUTE: As you can probably tell, this tribute ends abruptly and is missing highlights from the final. Owing to the fact that Premiership Rugby hate content creators, and despite my best efforts to reference Fair Use, they gave me no choice but to remove the final minutes of footage. I could have deleted this tribute completely as it's now a compromised version, but I worked too hard for it be simply removed. As a result, it stays up and hopefully it'll not only enjoy continued viewership, but also guide fans to the non-copyrighted version linked at the end. Sorry to all Saints fans, and rugby fans in general, for Premiership Rugby not understanding Fair Use.
For his price he was definitely signing of the year
Definitely tied between him and Finn Russell. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@StanWilks Agree Finn Russel has been magic but cost an arm and a leg
@@alfieb30 Wouldn't mind a few star signings at Chiefs, to be honest. 😂
What do you think of Juan Martin Gonzalez? Was he your signing of the year? Comment below!
Don`t know much about him but looks a decent signing for Cardiff.
I think he'll be right at home with the Blues. He never really escaped the trap of being second or third choice prop, bar one or two starts, so this is secretly a very wise move from Danny. Obviously I'll miss him as a Chief, and also because we both played at the same grassroots club. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great work Stan love these keep it up, as good as Andrew Forde's videos.
That is very high praise in my eyes, James. Don't know if I deserve it. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hope you do a Curtis Langdon or Ted Hill comp. Both should be in the England squad
Both fantastic players! I'll keep Curtis Langdon in mind this summer. Thanks for the recommendation. As for Ted Hill, I've already covered him. Here's the link if you're interested: czcams.com/video/KFxMAmYvi0o/video.htmlsi=V7UDaj6wfovNCAOY Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great work as always Stan! Think the 9 shirt for England is in great hands with the likes of Spencer and Mitchell with Randall not too far behind, look forward to the next video!
Very kind of you, mate! Exciting times, indeed. My guess is Mitchell will start with Spencer on the bench for the All Blacks tests. Randall against Japan??? Thanks for watching and commenting, Josh. Juan Martin Gonzalez up next!
@StanWilks in my opinion depends on who the fly half is, I think if Marcus starts Spencer should start 9. The reason Mitchell and Finn work so well is because they balance each other out having both Mitchell and Marcus might make some exciting attacking rugby but loses a little bit of textbook play but hey could but talking nonsense and they could both smash it, fingers crossed anyway!
@@joshdnorris1994That's a very good point. Didn't think of M. Smith and Spencer as a partnership. F. Smith and Mitchell does have that continuity to it!
What do you think of Ben Spencer? What will his role be in this England squad as the New Zealand tour fast approaches? Comment below!
How dare I try to grow the game legally and non-financially! 😂 This is an updated version omitting material watermarked by Rugby on TNT Sports in the final third. Everything is exactly the same bar one or two altered shots and it being a few seconds shorter. Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you enjoy it regardless!
I fully agree! If we get back to back wins with this coaching group, then we need a big statue of the coaching team!
Don't forget the George Hendy grandstand!
Well, the way that he is playing. He's like a fast ghost. Players just can't get hold of him. He is one to watch for England.
Congratulations to everyone involved at Saints and their incredible fans. Enjoy your victory! What players do you think will be called up for their respective countries this summer? Comment below!
Superb work, Stan! I think that it is highly likely that we will see Iyogun, Langdon, Davidson, Millar-Mills, Mayanavanua, Coles, Augustus, Mitchell, F. Smith, Dingwall, Freeman and Furbank selected for international duties. I'd hope to see R. Smith selected for Scotland and Graham for England but they may need another season. I also wonder about Scott Young and Ramm, thinking that they will be even better next season with more playing time, as a result of the players moving on. COYS!!
@@TC-lq7cuThanks for watching and commenting, my friend! Considering your reply, I think the whole Saints squad should go on tour. Have a sneaky feeling they'd actually do pretty well. 😂 Really excited about seeing more of Fin Smith as an international!
@@StanWilks I think that now that Ford is not touring, Fin will have his opportunity for the number 10 starting shirt. He is superb! reminds me of young Wilko!
@@TC-lq7cuHe certainly plays like a young Wilko. To think he's a Premiership winner after just two seasons for Saints is incredible. F. Smith starts. M. Smith off the bench. Two very different players who play very different styles!
@@StanWilks Not even two seasons for Saints. He started late in last season, as Biggs left, so even more impressive! This coaching team are sublime!!
He has had a great season. Definitely an X-factor player!!
And this tribute only scratched one third of it! Would love to see him hit the Seevens circuit. Think his bread-loaf attitude to carrying the ball would be awesome to see in that code. Thanks for watching and commenting!
*Wales Rugby
Plenty of highlights made by Josh himself featuring his tries for Wales. Not my fault he chose England. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@StanWilks Yeah, just enjoying this one after Feyi-Waboso turned his back on us tbh. Looks a great prospect from this video.
@@geraintcriddle7491 Both fantastic players. You never know. If it's any consolation, I felt the same way when Nick Thompkins chose Wales. Wales definitely needs Josh more than England does.
Great work mate, I'm sure he'll be a big part of England's plans going forward. Any plans for a Fin Baxter tribute?
Thanks, Glen! Great to hear from you again. He's still wet behind the ears but Opoku-Fordjour would be my wild card choice for England's summer squad. You never know! As for Fin Baxter, I'll have to make him one of my summer projects. All Things Rugby also inquired about a tribute of him, so clearly he's in need of one. Thanks for watching and for the recommendation!
Massively underrated player. He's the glue that sticks a backline together and allows others to shine.
Perfectly stated. Couldn't have put it better myself. He's living proof that size shouldn't matter when you tackle as hard and pass as well as Dingwall does. Thanks for watching and commenting!
🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for watching and commenting!
What do you think of Fraser Dingwall? Can we expect more brilliance from him against Saracens tonight? Comment below!
Seems to have lost a little pace? Still has the power.
Having seen him play live at Sandy Park, I promise you that he can still get around a defender or two. He's definitely bulked up, as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
So underrated
A Chiefs legend. Also was a great laugh to collaborate with when I did work experience at Sandy Park. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think we've got a bit of an obsession with size at 12 for England. But England's best matches over the last 30 years have all been with a distributor at 12. Any future players, need to nail the passing first.
Very good point, my friend. Ford/Farrell, Wilkinson/Catt and Andrew/Carling being some of the more famous examples. Perhaps Fraser Dingwall is the answer? I'm working on a tribute of him as we speak. Stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love this! Thank you mate!!
You are most welcome, Joe. Hope it was worth the wait. More Chiefs tributes coming soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@StanWilks no probs!! What a player 💪
What do you think of Greg Fisilau? Has he done enough to necessitate an England call up this summer? Comment below!
Yeah
@@George-gd1eqLove the emphatic simplicity. 😂
Think with Earl at 8, Borthwick will only take one specialist 8 in Dombrandt. But he’s one for the future. A back row of: 6. Cunningham-South 7. Guy Pepper 8. Greg Fisilau Would be unreal for post RWC 2027
@@henrybullock4514 Good point. I like Dombrandt coming off the bench. Either way, the future is very, very bright for England. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Cracking prediction seeing the provisional squad
My grandson thanks for making this I'm super proud of him 😊
It's a pleasure, Debbie. No wonder you're proud. He was sensational. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Getting serious Jason Robinson vibes with his speed. Exciting prospect for the future!
Great comparison. Hopefully not long before we see him score in a World Cup final! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is my Son. I am a very proud mum along with his father and siblings. Thank you for making this.
Also the guy that was coming on with the kicking tea is his dad.
You are most welcome, my friend. From one Barum local to another, Tyler became a superstar that day - to echo the great Sam Roberts on comms. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really hope Tyler likes it!
@@Gordonoke2009*Proud Dad moment intensifies.
@@StanWilks did you play for Barum? He liked it very much. I have shared it I hope you don’t mind?
@@Gordonoke2009I did. Great memories. But I stopped playing when I turned 14; at that point tackling became very optional for me. Always preferred the kicking side of the game. 😂 Of course I don't! This was for him. It's his video, as far as I'm concerned.
He formed a brilliant partnership with Semi. Fearless tackler and a great distributor. His only weakness was his kicking game. He will be a major asset for Connaught
Agreed on all fronts. It was the one area of his game that proved difficult to research, even across six seasons as a Bear. He more than makes up for that with everything else, though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Please may you do a Greg Fisilau video??
Funny you should request that, Joe. I've had my eye on him for a while now. Did his line-break against Quins last weekend have anything to do with it? 😉 Thanks for watching and commenting. Fisilau next!
@@StanWilksyes sir!!
Love this
Thanks, mate. Hope you enjoyed it!
Leicester need a flyhalf…
You guys have got Polly and Shillcock. Don't be too greedy. 😉 Thanks for watching and commenting!
What do you think of Tyler Gordon-Oke? Does he have a bright future ahead of him? Comment below!
Great asset to Bears over the last few years - all the best for him at Connacht
Absolutely. Once a Bear, always a Bear. But now a new chapter awaits. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What do you think of Piers O'Conor? Will his heads-up style compliment Connacht next season? Comment below!
Got a recommendation for a video on Fraser Dingwall? Been the glue for Saints this season but doesn’t really get as much recognition as he deserves.
Top recommendation there, Henry. He's been on my radar since his England call up, but other players needing tributes have kept me busy. 😂 Tell you what, after I've covered Piers O'Conor, I'll make sure Dingwall is covered next. Thanks for the recommendation, for watching and for commenting!
Tremendous finisher!

As a glos fan I recon wales should get him in the squad for the summer because he certainly has talent and could gain a lot of experience quite early from it.
@@reubsthegreatI wonder what the eligibility rules say about playing for a different country before coming back to your home. Do you have any idea? Thanks for watching and commenting! PS: Congrats on reaching the Challenge Cup final, mate. I'll be rooting for you guys!
@@StanWilks Unfortunately after reading the rules I’m pretty certain he’ll be unavailable which is pretty disappointing even though I’m English I think him playing for wales would have done him some good. As for Gloucester yesterday I went to the game and the atmosphere was the really good as well as the game itself and I’ll be definitely heading to London for the final!

Well considering he's from Aberystwyth I assume Wales
@@user-nn2xj9mh4wConsidering his England highlights, it was a question worth asking before he was selected for Wales this summer. 😂
Has the best pass in or out of contact, certainly in UK possibly Europe... world? We'll eventually see. And I am more qualified to comment having helped coach him from age 9
That's pretty cool. What an honour it must have been for you to see him perfect his craft! Thanks for watching and commenting!
