Thumbs up for PART 2
Shipped 22.08..... still waiting mate
Hope there here before the pandemic leaves ;-)

Let's stop spreading what, Fear of fake virus? Feck off with your masks mate.
@@user-ly8dq9tb8c - fake virus? You’re obviously not bothered about the prospect of revealing your vast stupidity to all and sundry...
@@dmhor7389 Corona virus have been causing sniffles, coughs and cold since, well forever. It is not hard to research that. I bet you had never even heard of a corona virus until 2019. But in 2009 it was reported in all you major British Newspapers that 30% of all colds were caused by corona viruses. 60% by the rhino virus and 10% by mysterious other viruses. Basically one in 3 to 3.5 colds a person catches is from the corona virus. The average person catches a cold 2 to 4 times a year. What does that mean my friend. This is basic math mate. If you have ever had more than 3 colds you are likely to have been infected by a corona virus probably even up to one time a year.
Now I am going to teach you some basic virus and immunity theory. If you have ever had a specific kind of viral infection and survived it, then you did so with your body producing antibodies that killed it, and white blood cells that destroyed the cells that were ever infected with it. Your immune system has a copy of those antibodies programed and ready to be reproduced for the next time you get a viral infection from a virus of the variety. What that means is the next time you are infected with a corona virus, no matter how infectious that particular strain is your body is ready to fight it off. Hence why 99.97% of people under the age of 70 are surviving what the authorities are saying is a corona virus infection, even though they are using a test (the PCR test), that cannot even remotely accurately test for whole viruses in anyway.
The people who cannot fight it off a corona virus infection, are in the main really, really old or have organs or tissue in their bodies that no longer function properly anymore for what ever reason. They were going to die from an infection of any kind anyway. There are plenty of medically trained people like myself who know this information. And it is readily available. You need to go back to school my friend, primary school in fact. So you can restudy your sciences and math.
Oh and by why that mask you put so much faith in like a religious symbol, why not take a swab test of it after you have been wearing it for and hour or two. You swab the inside of the mask with a new swab, in differing sections, then transfer the material you swabbed onto some agar plates. Leave the agar plates in a warm room for a few days then come back and see what has grown on them. I mean it is a little bit more involved than that, but you will figure it out. You will be surprised at what you find. One study I read found 80 different colonies of bacteria, and four different funguses. You keep breathing that kind of stuff in all the time, and there is a very high risk that you will catch a bacterial or even a fungal pneumonia. You will have a cough, a fever, however you might be one of those unlucky people that do not get treated for a bacterial pneumonia because well they need people dying to prove that there is indeed a pandemic. No one will ever know, because you were told and your medical records show you had a viral pneumonia that could not be treated. Are you beginning to realize just how much power over life and death us medical professionals and by extension the bureaucrats in the government have. Life and death is all just a matter of policy my friend.
Anyway you get back to enjoying the rugby mate. Leave the deeper things in life for us more intellectual types to worry about. Oh, and ah - Don't forget to put a mask on now, will you. We want good little people like yourself to just keep on doing as you're told without questioning the information we feed you.
THUMBS UP FOR SMARTEST RUGBY PLAYS
Underrated player video ??
I will make that as well
@SavageArfad I will
@@GGRUGBY and Mark Jones
Wales
I'd love to see a top 10 by position list... best 10 loosehead props, top 10 hookers, top 10 tighthead props, top 10 front/enforcer locks, top 10 back/jumper locks, top 10 blindside.... etc.
no one has time to talk about 150 players lol
good idea
Dan carter against the lions in 2005 was the best performance from any player
Yeah he could do no wrong. Every bounce went his way, and his skill and speed and eye for the gap and game management were 100%. The most complete performance I have ever seen. This from a Saffa.
I love south African rugby .... always have as long as I can remember.... they are the only team I get nervous for outside the allblacks.... like as long as it's either team on top then all is good ....an unrivalled full respect ..... mattifield and botha best 4.5 combo in history .
Cheslin kolby vs all blacks
Dusatoir vs NZ 2007 was pretty ridiculous. 38 tackles??? Insane relentlessness.
@@nick260682 Agreed - AWESOME! Nearly superhuman.
Makes me miss the days of Christian Cullen, Joost van der Westhuizen, Henry Honiball, Howley, Frank Bunce, Guscott, Jason Little, Tim Horan, Joe Roff, André Joubert, etc etc etc...
Christian Cullen how good was that guy, never seen a player like him since
@@navinpatel5688 I am South African. But always admired that guy. Was insane how he could cut defences to pieces. But I also enjoyed how Frank Bunce could do the same in the midfield. That All Black team of the mid to late 90s had quite a few legends. I enjoyed Zinzan Brooke, Glen Osbourne, and Kronfeld's playing as well. Awesome players.
@@gerrardrudman9558 Caucaunibuca, pronounced Thou-thou-nim-boo-tha.
David Campese, Mark Ella, Nick Farr-Jones and going back in the time the old legends of Scotland Roy Laidlaw, John Rutherford and Andy Irvine.
@@louisjwiese5515Good call. I don't often hear Bunce mentioned in these posts. In my opinion, he's the best ever All Blacks centre
Had the privilege of seeing all these great players live one time or another. Have to say one really got me on the edge of my seat and I admire so much. Shane Williams. A legend in Wales 👏👏🏉🏉🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I'm a saffa and I know it was Dan Carter. Followed by Fourie Du Preez for sheer brilliance. In the forwards, probably Richie McCaw.
Fourie du preez was a great player, but he isn't even the best south African scrum half
@@davidjones272 Joost came close, but I rate Fourie as better. Just for the way he read and controlled the game from scrumhalf, the way a flyhalf normally does. When he played scrumhalf, the flyhalf became just another backline player.
@@davidjones272 I'd actually differ from you. Fourie IMO is clearly the best 9 we've ever had. In terms of SA's GOAT, I'd say Habana.
@@mikezog1030 Agreed fourie is the greatest springboks scrumhalf. He could do it all, He can fill the role off both scrum and first five.
@Daniel Murray Yah Lomu would have slotted into any pack...
Most enjoyable video I’ve seen for a while 👍🏾
Thank you so much
I just want to give an honorable mention to David Pocock. Though his career might have been shorter than most on this list he was by far the greatest breakdown tactician ever. In fact i'm pretty sure he was responsible for IRB creating the rule that you "have to release the player" after tackling them, before entering the ruck again. Because Pocock was just turning the ball over every breakdown he was in, and even after this rule was created he was still the most dominate pilferer in rugby ever.
Pocock was talented but was always 2nd place behind McCaw - even Phil Kearns says this
Must b a aussie mate to slow mate shouldn't of made the team of the decade,..should bin kaino by far pocock to injury pone should retire long ago
He was no match for George Smith who played 80min uninterrupted for a decade.
@@nickc5417 using Phil Kearns to back up an argument isn't a great start....
@@granite2202 Definitely George Smith was the best flanker to come out of Australia ever. George Smith is the only one who comes close to McCaw. Although if you were going to add an Aussie, I would put in John Eales.
I am French and I love my home boys
Still there is no debate the GOAT is Sir Jonah Tali Lomu
No player has so much impact on the game - he has changed rugby over night !!!
🙏
But his defence was weak
@@Trajan2401 it really wasnt
@@jacobearle7015 one on one his defence was good 2 or more bad.his worst game was his first game against France. But after being dropped he came back and ran over the top of thoses frogs.
He was carried by Wilson and Cullen among others. He had plenty of mediocre games and helped in a major defeat. Over-rated unless ball placed in hand and pointed the right way, hard to tackle with poor technique
@@Trajan2401 you clearly have only ever seen his highlights. He was a beast on defense
Thank you for this, it has satisfied the craving for now...😉
My pleasure 😊
Great top ten, nice one, I was particularly pleased to see Gareth Edwards deservedly included, also Dusautoir and Habana.
Tim horan, phillipe sella, John eales, Victor Matfield, and Michael Jones should all be on this list. Probably a number of others as well.
Loved this
😍❤️
That Marshall, Mehrtens, Mauger, Umaga, Wilson, Cullen and Lomu NIGHTMARES!
Yip they were a handful!
To me the 2003 team was crazy, you can add Carlos Spencer, Joe Rokocoko, Ali Williams, John Collins, Ma'a Nonu, Mils Muliaina, damn... Maybe they were too young at that time to win a WC.
Impossible to compare such different positions. All great players but for me McCaw is easily and statistically the goat. World cup winning captain back to back, and over 100 tests won as captain is bradmanesque.
his total tests played is about to be beaten- but his total tests won may never be
Correct- his total Tests won (around 135) will stand for a long time or forever only another all black could beat it other intl teams just dont win enough
He is the greatest captain, but not the best flanker
Richie McCaw -
The best ever at his position. Greatest overall as a leader, winner and champion.
Dan Carter:
Greatest combination of offensive & defensive skills, athletic ability, reading and controlling the game.
Jonah Lomu:
Simply the most dominant player ever.
As a South African, Carter is IMO the GOAT. I honestly think McCaw was a great leader but got away with many illegal plays. Someone like Sam Cane current year is better than McCaw ever was. Just IMO.
@@TheChiefomatic
Sam Cane?!?!
Mate have you been drinking a few beers? 😂😂😂
He is a nice guy but he is not the best flanker in New Zealand, let alone the world and certainly not when we are talking about the history of the game!
So many guys were / are better IMO (including a few South Africans!):
Heinrich Brussow
Schalk Burger
George Smith
Francois Pienaar
Richard Hill
Michael Hooper
David Pocock
Ardie Savea
Michael Jones
Sam Warburton
Josh Kronfield
Jerry Collins
Juan MF Lobbe
Pieter Steph Du Your
Maro Itoje (when he plays at 6)
There are probably a few others too. Sam Cane is very good at the breakdown but many of the above were just as good, if not better. Furthermore, all of them were / are more powerful in the loose, with ball in hand and in the tackle.
You may not like McCaw but he is unsurpassed as a leader and a winner. He was almost always the best flanker on the pitch when he played. He was the fittest player on the pitch 99% of the time and there are stamina tests to back this up. I have never seen anyone better at tackling one on one, releasing the player and then standing over them and winning the ball back - truly special.
@@TheChiefomatic you're full of it bro. Cane doesn't even come close to Richie.
@@TheChiefomatic AHAHA sam cane. are you bloody joking? have you not seen richie mccaw in 2008, he wouldve been the goat in every category for flankers. in that season, he would've been the greatest jackler, greatest tackler and neglecter, most intelligent, greatest try scoring flanker, greatest workrate by a billion years, greatest work ethic. that's all the titles he wouldve had
@@TheChiefomatic Sam cane is pathetic compared to Mc caw . Cane is also a horrible captain
Barry John is the best fly half of all time ..no drugs no enhancement from amature era .Pure talent .Absolute genius . Introduced a new type of philosophy about the way the game should be played in his era ..,,Changed the game going forward
Couldn't tackle like Wilkinson or Carter
He wasn't full of H .G. H. neither
Gosh how much I love rugby! I'm not a sporty person at all, but damn I loved to play rugby and watch it, it's just the best sport ever.
All-time: Gareth Edwards should certainly be here. Michael Jones, Colin Meads, Serge Blanco.... Shane Williams was very exciting, a delight to watch, but doubtful for this elite. Wlkinson was a top quality kicker, not so great as an attacking player. Dusauttoir excellent but a dubious selection too.
To be fair, Wilkinson was very good at reacting to what was playing out infront of him. He didn't tear up defences, but had a very good rugby IQ, and created plays well which is often overlooked. Add that to being the 2nd all time kicker, a defensive machine and a legend with the drop goals (especially off the wrong foot) and he's definitely an all time great. So many other players could have been in this as well though!
Part two: John Kirwan, Rory Underwood, Michael Linagh, Juan Martín Hernández, John Peter Williams, Phill Bennet, Hugo Porta, Francois Pienaard, Tana Umaga. Excellent vid, btw!
Thanks for that
Juan Martin Hernandez has been good for couple of years only but it was really awsome years, he just got everything.
@@eltimmar4406 indeed, too many injuries, but on form, he was awesome
@Lemmy Five QuidIf that´s so, then i´m also an old fart
@Lemmy Five Quid I'm afraid so...
I think Thierry Dusautoir is the greatest the way he played in the RWC final in NZ was exceptional
but craig joubert ...
@@timolol3845 He has a Rolex
Yawn, they had their chances to win and they didn't. They didn't deserve the cup after already losing pool games to NZ and Tonga!
NZ has had plenty of calls go against them in World Cup knockout matches too.
The rematch in the quarter finals against France in 2015 was a great way to put to bed who the better team was.
@@gwoodsy6872 …..but that was 4 years later and two different teams….
@@sinclairmarcus 🤣🤣 he's not even in the top 10
Happy birthday Brian O’Driscoll.
great effort
Os du Randt must surely be in the top 10.props don't get the credit they deserve.best in his position I have ever seen.
Should make one of the present day GOATS as part two
Present day GOATS has to have Faf De Klerk at Scrum Half. He plays for my local team Sale Sharks and hes on another level. Hes like a Duracell Bunny. He never stops. The guy has 3 lungs.
Great vid. IMO you can’t really look anywhere outside of Mcaw, Lomu, Carter, Wilkinson and o’driscoll. That makes up the top five for me (not necessarily in that order.)
I am glad you enjoyedd
And Fourie du Preez.
Apart from Carter, none of those players are even the greatest players in their position. (well maybe mccaw). Lomu in particular just didn't have the basic skills to be considered in this respect: awesome athlete, but no kicking game, questionable defence and limited ball skills.
Michael Jones, Gareth Edwards, Tim horan, phillipe sella, John eales, Victor Matfield....
@@davidjones272 are you really trying to say brian o Driscoll wasnt the best centre ever?
Dusautoir plays pétanque?
That penalty kick from Dan carter is unreal absolutely brilliant
very balanced and unbiased, You can almost always tell the nationality of the compiler just by watching these sorta videos. I really feel it was missing fourie du pree though
Gareth Edwards head and shoulders above the rest in the non-professional era. Lomu the greatest of the professional era. With respect to Mccaw, Joost and Carter no one dominated like lomu did
Lomu played in bother eras and is the best player period
Daniel Gerber is the greatest of all time. The Maradona of rugby.
Brilliant stars
John Eales in part 2 pls. Great vid regardless.
Everyone in the list are legends. D.C. was a beast of a #10 in his prime. Despite so many injuries and setbacks he always bounced back (a true champion) His performance against the lions and his form at his prime was incredible and he did it all again at the world cup. McCaw perhaps may not be the best player but perhaps the greatest captain ever and had a heart of a lion. BOD had unbelievable skills.
I'm going to throw a vote for Sergio Parisse. He held Italian rugby together for a decade. Had he played for a more successful country, he'd have been a superstar. The best no 8 I've ever seen.
Good shout, who knows how good he could have been for a better team
Sergio is one of rugby's great heroes
Duckham, JPR, Joost, Irvine, Blanco, McBride, Bryan Williams, Danie Gerber, Jaco Reinach, Mike Gibson, Eales, Horan, Matt Burke. So much talent. Such entertainment!
Daniel Carter 👑 THE G.O.A.T 🐐
A rugby goat video without Dan Carter isn't a goat video cause he's THE G.O.A.T 🐐👑
It starts with Dan :D
In my opinion Christian Cullen should be in the top 5 of all time.best attacking fullback I have ever seen, absolutely lethal.Michael Jones as well.i am a springbok supporter but those 2 players were fantastic.
Agree totally Peter. Both great players and modest as well
You ask any kiwi rugby fan over the age of 35 who’s their fav player of all time. 9/10 it Cullen
Richie McCaw without a shadow of a doubt
Agree
Agree!
Agree
Dusautoir
@@b.8457 lost 2 world cups
Richie is the GOAT by a long shot but oh my God Christian Cullen would've still carved teams up today.
I'm a Kiwi, so (probably) biased but I have watched most All Blacks tests since the mid 1980's.
For myself, McCaw was clearly the best I have seen. Not the most talented, but the best rugby player.
His ability to continually play at a high standard in such an attritional position was remarkable, especially in the New Zealand where there is a near constant supply of new players challenging for positions, and critics calling for players' demise.
Opposition players who stood out were John Eales and George Gregan.
By far and I'm not a Cantabrian HIS LEADERSHIP and talent on the field was second to nobody HE HAD NO WEAKNESSES 😳 nothing! FREAKING MISS HOW DOMINANT THE ABs WERE WITH HIM AT THE HELM
@Henri Panapa It was his consistently good performances that really stood out for me. The AB's recent loss to Argentina also showed McCaw's value as a captain. He wouldn't have let Angus Gardner get so frustrated with them. People like to criticize McCaw for cheating, influencing the ref, invisibility etc, but playing sport at the top level is not a charity. McCaw knew what it took to get, and maintain an edge. And, on the days it didn't go his way, he never complained about it - That gets respect from ref's just there. Like you said, intelligent player.
(Regarding fetchers, David Pocock was a freak. His training and skills put him above most rugby players. See if you can find some video on his behind the scenes training stuff).
@Henri Panapa Dear Mr Pineapple.....could you repost that in English please ?
McCaw's ability to play with the rules and never get caugt was kind of a hard pill to swallow. He could always lay down in front of the ball in the rucks without being penalised most of the time. Definitely one of the goats but errrr, so frustrating when you're the opposing team.
Hard to split Richie and D.C as both are miles apart in skill set and achievements but Richie has to be the g.o.a.t simply because of his longevity at the very top, his winning percentage as a player and captain both domestically and internationally, the fact that he holds the record for most test in rugby history and the only player to have captained 2 RWCs ooh and not to mention he is the Sir Richie Macaw
Well said.
GOAT moments & GOAT players are 2 different things.
One clip of Gareth Edwards??? Behave.
True!
He’s so good he only needs one and what a try
Amateurs dont count unfortunately
Next, Some front rowers! Where the real work is done! Engine room , The locks! Scrum half's, the wee generals!
Which front rowers would you like to see ?
@@GGRUGBY Os of course! Ian McLauchlan, Fran Cotton, Graham Price, Llanelli front row, Some of the great French props. Dai Young, Adam Jones, Irish props. Great ones there, lots of taters! Also some of the hookers. All Black, a couple of Aussie. Georgia is a breeding ground for front rowers! Have them on every corner I hear! Look forward to it must be some good video of the dark arts! My former territory.
Agreed! What about the great Os du Randt. A beast of a man with deceptive speed and hands.
Tony Woodcock!
@@leefromstillwater One of the best! And Old Sean, wat's his name? The Hooker fellow!
Richie was the greatest of all time.
I dont think a single player has anything close to his stats, besides, he brought cheating to a whole different level:}
Playing rugby is easier when you can ignore its rules and your opponent cannot
Finding the limits of the rules isn't really cheating.
But he committed infringements, like everyone.
@@huepix
Come on. Every game I ever watched with Ritchie I noticed the referees were always far more tolerant of his infringements than that of the other players. Just look at the 2011 rwc final. He kept entering on the side of the rucks and got away with it, ultimately winning the game for his team
@@huepix Richie actually sat the referee exam and got the highest score ever recorded. True story.
He knows the rules better than the biassed armchair critics, as well as most of the refs if you actually read interviews from them.
Great compilation but I have one complaint! After the Gareth Edwards try against Scotland, the montage then briefly cuts to the Baa-Baas -v- NZ 1973 and arguably the greatest try of all time. Why cut off the clip without showing it?
Jonah. Star that is still shining. 🦊
Hey bro ..You forgot to put one other guy from NZ in this first RUGBY GOAT series..he was 6'4. wieght 110kg , and run 100m in 11 seconds the All Black LEGEND Jonah Lomu..players feared tackling him 1 on 1...You need to check this guy out ..loose forward turned winger. ..yea boy....
Hey Bro We have put him in this video but unfortunately it was deleted because of copyright
Jason Robinson, one of the deadliest runners in both codes - maybe a list for side steppers...he would be a shoo in for the top 10 in that list, could go off either foot....devastating!
Ritchie McCaw is the 🐐 of rugby Carter is up there as is Jonah Lomu it's hard to beat those 3, Bryan Habana, Christian Cullen, Brian O'Driscoll, John Eales (back in the day) Eales popped up everywhere on the field and was such a good kicker and yeap David Campise and in his day John Kirwan.
Victor Matfield, Fourie Du Preez and Joe Roff Part 2.
I remember a try by Mattfield.... The best try of a second raw ever
@@eltimmar4406 Most skillful 2nd row I've ever seen. He could kick, pass, run, do the dirty work. Complete player.
And Os du Randt
John Eels?
part 2: Victor Matfield, Martin Johnson, John Eales, Colin Meads, Frik Du Preez, Fourie Du Preez, Hugo Porta, Willie John McBride, Philipe Sella, Serge Blanco...
Willem, jy is gelukkig te jonk om te sien wat dMcBride se SPAN, nie "individuals" nie, met ons gedoen het in 1974. (Maar ek sien jy weet van Frik du Preez - so sorry as ek jou laat k@k voel het)
@@Poepwoes Nee dis fine lol, ek kan ongelukkig nie baie van die 74 Bokke onthou nie maar want dit was voor my tyd 81'.

@Henri Panapa No joke, it's difficult to compare eras and all this, but he could do anything with a rugby ball. Kicking, passing, speed, everything.. he was the complete package.
Who would you class as #1 then?
@@JW-th4nn Definitely mccaw. Gareth edwards was extremely overrated due to the Nostalgia effect. Gareth edwards wouldn't be in my top 5. Id say Syd going was at his lvl. and are you bloody serious with serge blanco? he was no near the top 10. cullen had double his striking rate
@@toiletsmithy3630 Mccaw was maybe the greatest captain, but in NO CASE the greatest flanker lol
And Blanco was by far the best player of his time. All full-backs in the world consider him as the best in his position, you can’t deny that (Cullen included)
Fourie du Preez > Gareth Edwards
Jonny Wilkinson , 2007 WCup vs Samoa , 8.32 on the clock , so lets go for a drop goal. Everyone else in the universe was running the ball. He put English rugby back 10 / 15 years by relying on kicking to score points
Nonsense. The squad had been in the dumps for four years and has just suffered an all time worst WC beating losing 36-0 to South Africa. All that mattered was the win and that's what Wilkinson gave them, giving them the platform to reach the final despite having a poor squad.
Backs:Carter
Forwards:McCaw
Kieran read and shane williams for me :)
EL Timmar I mean ur entitled to ur opinion
Forwards: agree
Backs: Lomu
Yip
McCaw and Gareth Edwards
Colin Meads, Micheal Jones, George Nepia
Particularly "Pinetree" Meads. But you cannot mention him without his twin opposite : Frik du Preez
4:39
Shane Williams receives the ball.
*Super Mario Star Music Intensifies*
As a South African our player of the century Frik du Preez. A genius like Naas Botha. Danie Gerber in the 80’s. To name just 3. A list like this will always be controversial
Firstly I'm a kiwi.
My 15 in order of position
1. Os Du Randt
2. S Fitzpatrick
3. O Franks
4. M Johnson
5. J Eales
6. M Jones
7. R McCaw
8. Z Brooke
9. G Gregan
10. D Carter
11. J Lomu
12. M Nonu
13. P Sella
14. D Campese
15. B Barrett
Glad to see my main man Christian Cullen in there. Reckon Jerry collins should be in for that tackle on Colin Charvis alone haha
All great players. Loved Campese
certainly one of the maddest. His goose-step or John Cleese? Pretty good for a man one wallabies coach called a "non-tackler"!
Barry John. Meryn Davies. Derek Quinnell. Anyone from the Pontypool Front Row (Graham Price, Bobby Windsor and Charlie Faulkner)
The all-conquering Lions side of the early seventies - almost all were Welsh. Pls correct me if I'm wrong - was only 10yrs old
just surprised they found a clip with McCaw onside!
It's the refs job to decide if a flanker is onside.
They did include an acrobatic high tackle to be fair, bit ot was McCaw so play on
That O'Driscall pass to himself was clearly forward.
Horan & Eales should be in there
Michael Jones, John Eales, JPR, Tim Horan, Richard Hill, Zinzan, etc etc, so many greats, and so hard to compare positions, that it's impossible to select an all-time top 10 to please everyone.
For me, Christian Cullen has to in the conversation
he had speed agility evasiveness timing and ability to stand and beat a tackler and the nouse to be in the right place he was the perfect back
Did I see it right that the 14 South African play try to trip Cullen with a boot?
Yes sadly he lost some speed early in his career from injury. He coulda been even better :/
But Blanco was a better full-back
Its a shame South africa was out of rugby in the 80s...they had legends the world never saw.
pt 2? GOOD players Michael Lynagh, Serge Blanco, ,Hugo Porta, Ella brothers, Nas Botha, Maa Nonu, Lawrence Dallaglio, Jason Robinson, (heeeeaps of others) not sure if all are GOAT except for Nonu, you pretty much nailed them all in Part 1
Some good choices, but no Serge Blanco, Danny Gerber or Phillipe Sella?
Have we all forgotten how long the sport of rugby has been played!! These players would never have survived the 60’s or the 70’s so how come all of these players are from the modern game!! Goat’s Never!!
Cant say any were the goat, but all are in a very special league to themselves
Agree
Richie Mc Caw is the ONLY captain to lift Bill twice . That means he is the greatest period
@@kelbatt7729 no it doesn't, because I could argue that dab Carter is a better player around than him, and there are better tacklers and jacklers than him, so no his isn't period
@@sargam3082 there is a difference between best and greatest goat refers to greatest there are better players than Richie but statistically none greater i.e my original comment
@@kelbatt7729 you literally said that because he lifted it twice, he is the greatest play of all time, bill Russell has 11 nearly championships but MJ is the goat, winning more doesn't make you the best player
Danie Gerber
Brian O'Driscoll is indisputably the greatest centre we will ever see. No one will ever come close.
Nonsense Conrad Smith was far better than O'Driscoll but he was a great player though.
Lol, behave yourself.
oh behave, he wasn't even the best 13. the great gerber was, dont be stupid
@@WWEFan-ty5xd No, you behave. B'OD is easily in the conversation for best center and number 13 ever, fool. Even his peers though so..
@@Phil_2007 behave, gerber had the greatest striking rate ever for a centre, what has o'driscoll done? he's more inconsistent than a stick
Hienrich Brussouw was so good World Rugby changed the rules. He single handed dismantled all teams he played. Tackler not allowed to play the ball was because of this great!
....Johnny.....wow!
THere have been too many greats ...to just name 10 !
I don't know about greatest rugby players but I do know Christian Cullen is my all time favourite player and would make any rugby legends list.
Forgot that Wilkinson was also a big hitter... big shots
There are a few to be considered as the GOAT in rugby....Carter, Mccaw,O'Driscoll, Joost or Lomu but Carter IMO has the edge overall! Thierry Dusautoir will always be my favourite tho!
I'm sorry but McCaw is the greatest player of all time, hands down. The amount of things this man has achieved and done is insane. Not only did he play 3 world cup matches with a broken foot, he dominated them.
Jonah Lomu and Brian O'Driscoll have entered the chat. 😉
@@tommcglone2867 either of them win a world cup? Brian and Lomu have left the chat 😂
@@TheRelenquished seriously? Dont tell me you are one of those insufferable Kiwis who base the quality of a player on WC crowns!?! 🙄 How much of a blockhead are you to not realise the fact that Brian O'Driscoll is THE GREATEST CENTRE OF ALL TIME!?! Do you literally have the brain of a kiwi?
@@tommcglone2867 If he is the greatest centre of all time surely Ireland would have won more. Only three Grand Slams in their entire history, Wales has won twelve. A brilliant player but nowhere near the influence McCaw had on NZ.
@@tommcglone2867 yeah...... i gotta disagree with u there. U see wht O'Driscoll did thn would not mke hm 1 of the g.o.a.t in today's setup. Same goes 4 Lomu. Bck thn McCaw would've gotten badly injured if he did wht he've done. Campese thn, not now
dan carter the golden boy of the all blacks
Every one of them deserved to be in this video. I would have liked to see Philippe Sella also. That guy was ridiculously dangerous on attack and an aggressive tackler.
First player to also reach 100 test games during the amateur era, imagine if he played in this professional era?
Respect for putting Gareth in this he was special in that era
He wasn't even the best Welsh player in that side, very good player but not the best.
@@ynotnilknarf39 it was a very good welsh side but I think you must be the only person who believes he wasn’t the best player in that side
@@Rhys78686 Rubbish, deluded people who are swayed by others and can't think for themselves, GE was a great player but he wasn't the best Welsh player of his time.
@@ynotnilknarf39 who would you say was better
@Henri Panapa one of the best 10’s of all time but Gareth Edwards was a better player and played for nearly twice as long as Barry did at the international level
All of these player are amazing, but the GOAT is Jonah Lomu.
Is, was and forever will be! 🏴
Beauden Barrett; Joost van der Westhuizen; Sébastien Chabal; Sonny Bill Williams; George Gregan; Émile Ntamack definitely in part 2 (perhaps an oversight in this compilation)
Yup, a good list there.
Backs get the glory nice to see the French represented in the forwards.
As for the ones not in there.
Just a small example.
England. Jerry Guscott. Matt Dawson. Rory Underwood. Will Carling...(yes! Underrated)
Wales. Legend Gareth Edwards. Barry John. Phil Bennett. JPR Williams. Mervyn Davies.
Jiffy. (Superstar in both codes Northern and Southern Hemisphere.)
George North (current player).
Ireland. Mike Gibson. Willie John McBride. Tony Ward.
Scotland. Andy Irvine. John Rutherford. Gavin Hastings.
France. Philipe Sella. Jean Pierre Rives. Serge Blanco.
South Africa. Joost Van Der Westhuizen. Percy Montgomery. Francois Pienaar. Naas Botha.
Australia. Nick Farr-Jones. Michael Lynagh.
NZ so many where do I start? Sid Going. Ian Kirkpatrick. Bryan Williams. Grant Batty. Christian Cullen.
Thanks for the upload, I haven't got enough space for every great player I've seen
Rory Underwood ? really ? Before J.Robinson ? ,..Agree with you're points, tho, no Gerald Davies? , Campese, Quinell ,Ieuan Evans, IMHO Wales were good enough to win a WC from 68-77 or at least make a final if there was one , if they had, we would be in a different place to where we are today,... ie, We would still have crowds of 10k or more for club/regional rugby .
My own top 10 would include Michael Jones, Richard Hill, Phillipe Sella & John Eales.
We all know who is the goat Sir Richie McCaw hands down his winning percentage speaks for itself.
Dan Carter to my mind but I loved Tana Umaga as well
An old geezer like me who has been watching the game since the 60s, thinks Gareth Edwards was the GOAT followed by Carter and I am not Welsh.
Hard to go past Christian Cullen, for skill and spead ,position ,defence ,and his coolness the best of the best in my opinion.
George Gregan, Jason Leonard and Richard Hill
Interesting that whenever worlds best teams or players get selected very few Springboks ever feature and yet prior to isolation they had more wins for than against. They have won the world vup 3 timed. Was cheated in one other beaten by a freak drop goal. Had to overcome so many obstacles in the modern era. Something not right. Think of Ray Mordt, Danie Gerber, Naas Botha, Morne du Plessis, Carel du Plessis, Joost, Schalk, Fourie du Preez - the list goes on. Think about it
All of those players are overrated
Don't forget Joost van der Westhuizen. He is widely regarded as the greatest scrumhalf of all time.
@@mitchycplays1118 maybe fella, but Danie Gerber was a very special player. Deserves more credit. Joost was also a bloody ripper at 9.
South African referees had an awful lot to do with that record
Ireland's Mike Gibson was a sublime genius and Wales's Gareth Edwards was too. I think South Africa's Danny Gerber with Gibson would be the best centre partnership in history. The famous Scottish commentator Bill McClaren said the best player he ever saw was Mike Gibson of Ireland. I also like Conrad Smith of NZ.
Yes, this list, claiming to be all-time, overlooks too many past greats. The ones you mention were top quality of course.
1. Richie McCaw
2. Dan Carter
3. Johnny Wilkonson
4. Jonah Lomu
5. Brian O'Driscoll
6. Bryan Habana
7. Shane Williams
8. Theirry Dusautoir
9. David Campese
10. Gareth Edwards
Schalk burger needs to feature in part 2
Jonah lomu for me.... He changed rugby and the 95 world Cup... Wow
He couldn't score against South Africa in 95 world cup he ran over player's but the Springboks didn't allow him to run with the ball it was a pleasure to watch that Game
@@tyronebeveridge794 you're legit admititng "oh, cullen wiped our ass but it doesnt matter because we stopped lomu"
