THE MATCHUP 💪🏾 SPRINGBOKS BACK ROW 🇿🇦 NO.8 RUSSOUW •6'6 120 KG NO.7 SMITH •6'5 112KG NO.6 BURGER •6'4 114KG VS MANU SAMOA 🇼🇸 NO.8 HENRY TUILAGI ●6'1 134KG
There are many more like that coming up in the Pacific islands ready to break some Palagi shoulders,collar bones nd rib cages. Watch out Europeans the Pacific warriors are coming to get yous because of your bias referees nd match officials..
And this is coming from Burger, one of the toughest flankers in the history of the sport. That says a lot. Heck, the whole Springbok pack has always been a no nonsense type of group, yet they were quite wary of Henry even before the game started. It sucks that the ref ruined this game; it would’ve been a very competitive game. I remember Semo Sititi saying to the ref that there are two teams playing as he felt the ref was only keeping an eye on one team; and on one occasion, the ref kept rewarding South Africa scrums just five meters away from the scoreline, when it was already halftime and the hooter had already sounded, which they eventually scored a try. I’m not saying Samoa would have won, but the ref ruined the game’s competitiveness. Refs need to be held accountable for their performance, especially if they consistently and intentionally make calls against a team. Monday ngt - January 24, 2022.
🚶♂️ so true uso ' respect is earned only these two teams on the day know best , even your opponents know that the ref is biased and probably racist it becomes apparent, South Africa 🇿🇦 are and still most physical team however they love the contest when the Island teams match them 💪
lol how much do refs get paid? you think they're immune to bribing? Betting outfits pay out not just according to wins and losses, but according to spread of points. Wouldnt be surprised if they routinely try to rope in, wine and dine refs to get them to cover a given points spread.
What a monster. Bumps off Rossouw and Smith, throws off Burger with one hand, drives Os du Randt back a few metres and nearly breaks the tackle of Bakkies
@Angie Barclay LOL Bakkies stopped him in his tracks. Henry Tuilagi is only 6’, a midget. Bakkies was simply too big at 6’11, he simply used his leverage and torque.
No matter where you come from, no matter the skin color, ethnicity or whatever, but when you have the love and respect for others, is the best thing in life. I'm full blooded Samoan and just watching these videos makes me think that at the end of the day we are one. Funny watching these 2 legends talking about hiw big Henry was and then you look at them they're massive lol.
As a South African this was my first world cup where i was old enough to watch all the games probably will forever be my favourite one this the games we played against samoa tonga fiji close hard games honestly the first time ive ever seen Polynesians but after that world cup i wanted to offload like the fijians wanted to play wing like alesana hit people like finau maka have a big afro as well the second one didn’t really work out ahah but basically saying to me those games were always great to watch and inspired me to play the way i did. And even today i watch tonga fiji and samoa play even if the dont play the springboks always be my teams after the bokke of course 😊😊😊
Wow I remember this one also. This was the 2007 RWC the best one to date for me.. had them killers in all teams playing, look at the level of talent floating around at the time💯🔥💪 I remember Tonga vs South Africa was dead close, and I remember the South Africa vs Samoa game also. Very physical pool that one was having those monsters in there. Tonga, Samoa and RSA (South Africa)
Since 95 there's always been such mutual respect for the islanders. Have to love Schalk and Jacques and co. for keeping that alive but what a legend Tuilagi is / was. Those islanders pretty much epitomise what a natural rugby player is made of, literally genetically designed for the game..
I say its semo sititi, more consistent and always one of last defenders chasing, even thru the manu's bad years getting thrashed, guy was always putting that extra effort, henry is strong as hell, but he only plays 40mins of rugby.. i watched all his games as kid, i remember the hype around him, but he slowed down and disappeared from action in the 2nd half.. same as this game 1. Semo Sititi 2. George Stowers 3. Henry Tuilagi 4. Taiasina Tuifua
@@sheldoncooper0 you sound like a jelaous hater. Insecure much? Go have a go at those Tuilagi has an advantage over in weight,height and strength. Let us see how much you last.
They were a special crowd of players. But I tell you what, going out at RWC 2019 with the best forward pack in the competition, and the alternate best forward pack on the bench; probably the best 4 locks on the planet; with the bomb squad chomping at the bit to get on and finish out the game; Cheslin and Makazole out wide with Faf, Polly, Damian and Lukhanyo inside..... If they are the second favorite then there can't be much in it :) Either way, Bok forever!!
Busting through like that on a Schalk and Juan double tackle geez that’s not something you want to stand infront of. Imagine getting your head on the wrong side, that man can send you on an early retirement in seconds.
Lol, the team only has one or two practices together as other countries have them contracted to clubs. Yet they still beat top nation teams, like when the Japanese destroyed the Spring Boks. All blacks have majority Samoan and other Pacific Islanders, as well as other champion teams. Can you deny this fact?
@@emilenell6329 If a nation's team is underdeveloped because their players are poached by the best in the world, and can't afford to hold a team, but guilt-trip players to pay for their own flights and accommodation to get to a world cup, wouldn't their team which is randomly pieced together by players who are past their peak, and yet still play well against teams that have developed over a century. I'm shocked the other teams still don't thrash Manu Samoa by 300 points, but this shows the might of the retired Samoans.
@@31titan70 Facts👍. Samoa a Island with no money to fund any supportive sports teams. That is why Samoa in history never backs down a challenge from a Bigger Country with money to back there sports teams at any level. We the only Island 🏝 in the Pacific that makes the biggest noise 💯🔥🔥🔥🤙✊🇼🇸
Not that tall.. maybe 6. I’m 6’5 and met him on many occasions and he was definitely short guy… But wide AF… there’s a photo of us (me, him and Sonny bill Williams) and i was already a lot noticeable taller than Sonny who’s 6’3’ but sonny still towered over Henry.
South Africa was Goliath and Samoa is David, the team that has to pay their own airfares is never going to be a Goliath, its a miracle they even got to the field.
@squid stupid argument, this is about forward you bum! Like you can do better, keep living your looser life while Henry enjoys retirement without working a day in his life.
The tuilangi family are in all tackling sports. Rugby Union, Nfl America, Rugby league Australia eith Kelma Tuilangi at Parramatta Eels and i think there is a tuilangi in boxing too. Can imagine a tuilangi in ufc too. Do some damage. Very sporting family in Australia, New Zealand, Samoa and American Samoa, Hawaii and America.
You know that Henry Tuilagi's a beast when even the South African forwards are shocked by his size and power.
Lmao😂🤣😆...aye...those fellas are huge themselves and they’re worried about his size
@@Username-ze1ux They know when to be scared 🤣
Danie Rossouw had near Etzebeth status in his time...he took strain.

Apart from his massive built, cannot deny the fact that Henry also loved to run and he was quick, hard runner
After this game henry tuilagi become my favourite Samoan rugby player. Respect from Fiji

@Angie Barclay bakkies has huge advantage in leverage. Super tall guy.
@Angie Barclay LOL Bakkies stopped him in his tracks. Henry Tuilagi is only 6’, a midget. Bakkies was simply too big at 6’11, he simply used his leverage and torque.
@Angie Barclay 6 foot is tiny. Henry looked tiny when he was in China and stood next to yao. Yao made him look like a school boy.

Once the 4/5 brothers have had 4/5 of their own, then we can have a full team of only tuilagis. That would be epic. Scary AF, but awesome
By all means Henry was a beast. Even Springboks legends acknowledge his speed and brute strength.

I remember that World Cup very well. Henry Tuilagi running full pace into a defensive line is enough to scare any grown man.
Got to be the hardest family to ever play the game size power aggression out matched
No sh!t
Do you know how strong you need to be to fend off Burger!! Burger is NO slouch he is the real deal. Tuilagi had amazing strength.
You don’t hear this every day from a Bokkas forward pack esp no 6 but it’s so good to see and listen to the lads again 👍
He only played 10 caps for Samoa n yet he’s the best #8 to ever wear the blue jersey
💯 uso

Those taro leg drives probably what kept players up at night. Knowing you gotta stop a Samoan Freight Train.
Love the step and pass around the ref from Schalk when he peels off the maul and looks up see Henry haha.
1.40 Henry Tuilagi driving back 133kg Os du Randt like he's a little child. Crazy power.
Henry was tough😤 wish we could see him bench 250 kgs🤯
Henry is the same weight as Du Randt if not heavier.
Yeah mate if you were 140 kg round that weight and squished in a 6 foot frame, you too could roll over whoever you wanted to…

@@ktheterkuceder6825 I'm explaining physics and science. What is this "have a go" shit? You think it's all about fighting? lol go get educated.
South Africa rugby team was always known for there size but Henry was not just big but he is strong whice makes him hard to defend.
I saw a picture of him after he had retired, and he looked like a freaking wall in the middle of the hall.
Absolute fridge
As a samoan I always loved watching the South African foward pack big and aggressive. Legends of the game 🙏
Yes us Samoans love watching the Boks play.
2007 was my favorite Springbok team .
They were a special crowd of players. But I tell you what, going out at RWC 2019 with the best forward pack in the competition, and the alternate best forward pack on the bench; probably the best 4 locks on the planet; with the bomb squad chomping at the bit to get on and finish out the game; Cheslin and Makazole out wide with Faf, Polly, Damian and Lukhanyo inside.....
If they are the second favorite then there can't be much in it :)
Either way, Bok forever!!
I'm afraid I fully agree with you. My favourite Bok side was 2007.
I was very fortunate to watch the Bok/Samoa game in Paris, 2007 RWC.
To send Os backwards will do some taking. This guy did that and more. Wow 👏
All in one game, jeeez
I remember this game. Henry was a beast but possibly went a bit too hard in the beginning because he was tired after 20 minutes.
Now check out his son! Posolo Tuilagi - 6’5 150kgs wrecking havoc in the under 20 World Cup !
Like his father and uncles before him 👊🏿
As a route one carrier he’s right up there. You know what’s coming, but stopping it is almost impossible.
HENRY TUILAGI the man, the myth, the legend
Pacific Islanders are made for contact sports 💯🇼🇸🇹🇴🇨🇰🇫🇯🇰🇮🇵🇬🇻🇺
Hundred
SA players are always humble and know to give credit where it’s due… Unfortunately the same cannot be said about many of their fans.
Busting through like that on a Schalk and Juan double tackle geez that’s not something you want to stand infront of. Imagine getting your head on the wrong side, that man can send you on an early retirement in seconds.
No doubt
Never do an hospital pass in front of that guy 😂😂 he's a monster you can even heard the cracking when he hit someone in the field 😂
Love the Springbok SAF usos!
What a legend!!
The Butcher was usually around the 134kg mark.
Danie Rossouw made some crucial tackles in that 2007 World Cup
A lot of respect to the Boks.. but Samoans are just next level size, speed and aggression with the biggest hearts and smiles 💪 🏉
And will always get destroyed by better rugby nations.

Managed to tackle him though.

@@OyisaTyimi Yes James haskell talks about this in one of his podcasts

Henry was also fast
Henry was one scary dude.
