At his best, he was either the best fullback in the world or he was in the conversation. The catalyst to Scotland getting out of the banter years. I've had my criticisms of him over the years, but there is no denying his incredible talent and his impact on Scottish rugby. I wish him all the best in his retirement.
Cracking player, had one of those funny running styles where he didn't even look like he was trying but would still gas you.
So many of his clips are him slithering away from his own goal line despite being corralled by Ireland chasers. Full back built like a centre, sat more Irishmen down than Riverdance. Great servant of the game. Respect from Ireland, Stuart 🇮🇪
Twenty straight minutes of unadulterated rugby perfection from an all-time great. I had the pleasure of meeting him for a photo and having my Exeter Chiefs ball signed before a friendly. Great guy.
Really great work, Andy. Loving all the Chiefs clips in here.
Really good pacing, too, for a twenty-minute tribute. Mr. Forde pushing the boundaries of experimentation, once again!
I remember when Stuart Hogg was fairly new to the Scotland team, he must have been 10 or 15 caps in. They were playing Wales, and I remember thinking "bloody hell he's good"
Just wondering did you think similar when watching Ange Capuzzo? I see a lot of similarities with him and a young Hogg.
Merci Monsieur Hogg de nous avoir régalé pendant tant d’années
Merci, mon ami.
That Glasgow back three of Maitland, Seymour and Hogg , with Matawalu and Russell being the half backs , was unstoppable. Didn’t matter what centres we played, with those guys the tries just spilled out.
Superb as usual, Mr Forde.I think that's the definitive Stuart Hogg video. A fitting tribute to a rugby great. We are really going to miss him.
Huge loss to Scottish Rugby, absolute Star. I watched them play the AB's at Murrayfield at the end of last year and Scotland chucked everything at their game, it was thrilling, a clincher and Stuart led that Team exceptionally. I live in the Highlands and am a Kiwi, he'll be such a loss and I hope he continues to do something with Club Rugby in Scotland. Whatever you do Mate, know you have passed on that Jersey with huge accolades, respect and love. All the very, very best for your future. 😢
One of the greats, not just Scotland, it’s been a pleasure Mr. Hogg
One of the all time Scottish greats. Burst onto the scene with pace and a deadly step but developed an incredible kicking game in his later career. Scotland will miss him dearly.
Was a very good attacking player , not sure that you could say the same about the defensive side of his game.
@@philipmccarthy6175 yeh, that’s just not true. Andrew Forde even has a tribute about Hoggs cover tackles.
This makes me more emotional than Braveheart, another great Scot leaving us!!!
This man won't be forgotten
One of the greats,thank you stuart hogg ❤
Great tribute, genuinely emotional watching this, followed Hogg since the early days at Glasgow in 2011 whilst everyone else was on RWC duty. Then we signed Rory Lamont who’d been released by Toulon, but he rarely started due to the emergence of Hogg! A couple of months later he was a nailed on test starter for the next 11 years! Even though he’s been around that long, still hoped he’d have 2/3 more seasons in him. Deserves a happy and restful retirement, his body will have taken some batterings over that time! Raised a glass to Hoggy tonight, will always be missed from the stands at Scotstoun and Murrayfield!
A player of my generation . I will never forget him.
Legit made me cry when I heard he couldn’t make it to the RWC, it would have been such a fitting end to an incredible career (especially given it’s only now that Scotland are rising to the occasion, on fire now). But that’s the nature of this brutal, bizarre egg-chasing sport - sometimes people retire due to reasons completely out of their control, which sucks. It means we can look back now at what he’s accomplished and hopefully he can take a fair bit of comfort in that. What a player, what a career with all its twists and turns. What a pleasure to watch him over the years.
I wasn't aware of Hoggs immediate retirement. I hate when you get sad news reading a comment section on CZcams.
@@luobomu9747 sorry you had to hear from me, he put on social media he really wanted to but his body wasn’t cooperating. I’m sure he’ll still be heavily involved anyway, maybe as a semi-coach or just moral support for the team. Such a shame but he’s still valuable and he’s what’s made Scotland so exciting to watch recently.
Scotland are improving but it's highly unlikely they will get out of their group even with Hogg in the team.
Will miss watching you play. Thank you for all the memories. Take care of your health mate. From a South African.
That was emotional! Thanks for the memories Stuart! You are the Greatest!
It's been a privellege to watch him play. A natural talent that entertained the crowd
Pure passion and talent. An absolute Legend of Scottish rugby. Only wish we could have won something meaningful with him in the team
He would have had to have been in a better team. As good as he was I'm not sure he would have been a first choice 15 in some of the top international sides. His defensive game wouldn't have been good enough imo.
It makes me a little emotional watching this. I first got in to Rugby properly around the time that he made his debut at the Millennium stadium as an 18/19 year old. He was the first player in that squad that actually believed that we could compete against the best sides in the world and beat them. Lets not forget that we would either finish bottom or second bottom of the 6N and sometimes went an entire campaign without a win. His ability to beat defenders is unmatched and his kicking game also became the best in the world from a fullback- especially those long kicks where he was in a league of his own.
It's just a shame that he never won anything Internationally. We managed to transition from cannon fodder to a team capable of beating any side on our day, however we still lacked the belief at times to get over the line and win a 6 Nations. Our big chance was in 2021 where we had a narrow losses at home to Ireland and Wales that cost us the title. The Wales game decided the tournament, and we were a penalty away (which we should have won right at the death) from taking the crown. I'm not saying the French game plays out the exact same way in the last match, but that was his, and our big moment to win the title. Now the likes of Ireland and France are too good to compete with at the moment.
Either way he had a great career. Three Lions tours, two 6 Nations poty, a league title in Scotland and in England and a European trophy. Not bad for a player that came in to one of the worst Scottish sides in history and started out at a club side that wasn't very competitive either.
It's going to be weird watching a Scotland side without Hogg at fullback, but this is the nature of sport. Hopefully the next generation can win us something internationally, but the likes of Hogg and Russell etc were so important in giving our fans and players the belief that we could compete in games and win them. Without these world class players then we would still be languishing towards the bottom of the table and happily lapping up a last day victory over Italy to avoid the wooden spoon.
I can't believe the poor guy was forced to call it quits. I feel bad for him. He was an iconic player indeed.
One of the greatest to ever do it. That 60m try vs Ireland still haunts me. What a player.
Let's not forget that Scotland's record against Ireland in the 6 nations is atrocious.
@@philipmccarthy6175 Not sure I understand your point Phil?
@@johndoe-xr9jm I'm saying that were he another nationality he may not have even made the national team. I look at Ireland and no one is going to tell me Hogg is a better full-back than Hugo Keenan.
@@philipmccarthy6175 i am going to tell you that hogg was a better full-back than Hugo Keenan, at least from 2015-2018. hoggy won back to back 6N player of the championship in 16 + 17 and put some world class performances against top quality sides like the all blacks keenan is quaility but hasn't reached that level (yet). I'll give you his defence is definitely far superior, but hoggy's attacking and boot was well-known by all sides in the world in that period, including SH
@@bardwore Keenan wasn't in the Irish team during those years but since his emergence in the Irish team he's been the best all round 15 in the home nations.
gutted to not see him at the world cup, but from a fan's and no doubt every chiefs' heart, all the very best, to the very best!
Loved watching him, reminded me of Robinson and Williams
Not just a GOAT but a GOAT who had an impact on everyteam he played for, especially with warriors and scotland. Transitioning them to tier 1 teams
Such an impressive highlight reel!
You forget how quick he was, and just how many tries he scored. He also made many final try assists.
Surprised to see he only made 2 Lions appearances.
Great player, was definitely the best full back in the world for a time. From Ireland
Greates scottish player i have ever seen. Excellent talent and understanding of the game. All rounded athlete
It's easy to admire all the tries but an even bigger contribution from Hogg is all the times he comes into the line, side-steps a few defenders and makes yards, giving his team immediate front-foot ball. His ability to get Scotland out of a period of possession that was going nowhere was extraordinary. When he came into the team we were no better than Italy, now we're justifiably 5th in the world. No-one in blue deserves the epithet "legend" more.
Awesome player
Might be a great rugby player. Prize *** for the way he has treated his family.
A legend forever in Scotland and beyond💙
What a player.
Turns out 4 months later what a real scrumbag he really is as a human being after the way he's treated his wife and family.
I dont remember this video being about his personal life?
If what's come out in the news is true, it's astoundingly disappointing. Retiring on the line that he wants to be with his family more, after they moved to Exeter and supported his career.... even with him cheating on her repeatedly. Rumors of a young woman who's pregnant with his child in Hawick. Refusing to leave the family home forcing them to move in with Gill's parents with a baby that's a couple of weeks old, and three other wee waens. Social media post with him and this new gf off to a spa together. What a sequence of disastrous moves by him. Really feel for his ex, and their kids. How on earth did he think this would go down as he embarks on a new career in the public eye? His agent must be in crisis management mode right now. Felt for him a bit after his recent post about getting abused by Scottish rugby fans at the RWC, but now it seems he deserves everything he gets. His name is now muck, and he's well and truly lost his legendary status. Supposedly the SRU want nothing to do with him now. I know he's pretty thin skinned too, and this is going to (and currently is) come back to hurt him on an emotional level. What an idiot. So disappointing for Scottish rugby fans. I know this might seem like a rather self entitled and unnecessary post, but this kind of thing has to be exposed - and try to ensure the next generation of stars don't set any more bad examples.
Reminds me of Jason Robinson the number of times he scored with noon e with 10 yds.
Such a shame, bowing out before the World Cup, especially with Scotland being competitive. Deserved a better send off.
As someone that started playing rugby 10 years ago, Stuart Hogg was the only Scottish player that was worth watching. He was the only world class player that Scotland had seen in well over a generation and his influence on the team was undoubted. It's a shame to see that his career didn't end on the same high that it began with, because a career like Hogg's deserved it
Très grand arrière !!!
When I saw this video was 20 mins I got a semi
Fordeyyy never misses🫡
So sad that a young talent has to retire due to physical condition, but it’s understandable. Definitely getting a jersey with his name on it.
I’m glad he’s retired. I cant think of one game where he’s the only one to have made a difference. I know of three where he’s cost Scotland the game.
Très très bon joueur dommage qu' il joue parfois avec un mauvais esprit ( brutalité gratuite, anti jeux) sans cela il aurait été vraiment excellent
Had he an injury he couldn’t shake??
Pretty comprehensive, but wish it had included the wonder try v England A in 2012 which really put him on the map - czcams.com/video/EY38X51iBfY/video.html.
He was a good player in a team that's been average at best for the last 20+ years.
Shagger
Stuart Hogg was one of the best NH fullbacks and one of the best (if not the best) 21st century Scottish players. It's a huge loss for Scotland, I was shocked when I learned he will retire after the WC but now I'm even more shocked that he suddenly retired. He is only 31 but has to stop his career due health problems (but at least he is not Sexton who got more concussions than a mma or boxing fighter).
How did Scotland get to number 5 in the rankings what trophies have they won recently they've never won the 6 nations they lost a series to Argentina they lost to the US am i missing something here im confused
Don’t be so lazy and go learn how the world rankings are calculated.
couldn't even make it to the world cup. He must be in some seriously bad shape to miss it..great player
Too many clips of tries against Munster ha
Read this before watching, didn’t even have the hatrick in 2014 (I think)
@@dougthedynamo I was only joking, one is too many lol
France
A great player but seriously underachieved with Scotland.
One of the greatest, but not THE greatest Scottish rugby players, and he was also culpable for quite a few butchered tries too.
Gavin Hastings is scotlands greatest player
No. He most assuredly is not. Hastings had a great team to play with, Hogg did not for large parts of his career and yet? Still shone.
@@joshsmith3598 Yes, he is. Hastings shone in great scotand teams which is much more impressive than Hogg performing in poor Scotland teams, and he also shone for the lions and captained them on the 93 tour of NZ, something which Hogg never did. I'm sorry, but as good a player as Hogg was, Hastings is still the better and more iconic Scottish fullback
Good player for a couple of seasons, better captain, but well short of the greatest - 1991 WC semi final, unforgivable.
Why are white rugby players so much better in the north than they are in the south 😆
He was ok at best.
Joker
102 test caps, 3 lions tours, 2x 6N player of the tournament, Pro12 and Prem titles and European Cup, but only ok?
@@dougthedynamo yeah. Like Finn Russell, I think he’s over rated. Just my opinion on him though, nothing to worry about.
@@simonmoore3546 troll.
@@benvaughan3392 how is giving my opinion making me a troll? I’m not Scottish so I get why those boys love him, I’m an Ulsterman and find him average.
