    I used to loathe the kiwis and All blacks when I was much younger, I somehow thought they were arrogant and up themselves. But as the years went by and I had more access and the internet allowed me to connect with players and Southern Hemisphere clubs I began to understand it was humility and work ethic rooted in the culture of NZ. For a country with a small population they produce so many amazing players. Always enjoy watching these videos and have enjoyed watching Aaron grow and TJ as well. I almost prefer the super rugby season to our premiership now 😅😂

  • @lateralus6512
    @lateralus6512 Před 3 lety +33

    I consider half back one of the most influential positions on the rugby field and this position is ideal for a captaincy role because they are the link between the forwards and the backs. I notice this most with Brad Weber, Aron Smith and TJ Perenara. They are natural team leaders, whether they are given the official title or not.
