[@mattorpaul]

pierre spies is a beast

[@ehmazin]

What an athlete

[@nk284]

Affies keep producing these gems... I wonder what they have in store next.

[@thabokruger]

I'm friends with Pierre and he has seen this tribute. Was a good laugh...

[@katpiering123]

Great video, nice to see you added all the nice tries. My favourite the one against the Blues where he outran the wing and flyhalf. When he herd he could not play the world cup, because of bloodclots in his longues, he must have been devastated. But as he said, he prayed to God (Yahuah) and got healed. Amazing testimony too.

[@heuf68]

jee mate, you're putting some great vids on here. Thanks for that.

[@reinhardthuman3565]

In the 2009 currie cup semifinal against western province at newlands he hands off schalk burger like a sack of potatoes when schalk try to tackle him i never saw an eightman scoring tries like him for sure an great athlete i also met him what a great human being 😁👍

[@drukjohn1982]

Fooking quality clips!

[@IzVesi]

Ah! the amount of respect i have for this man.

[@deelman3340]

Thank you for an outstanding video. Jeeeeez! If only most tribute rugby tribute videos were this good! Make some more. (Kankowski is also overdue one, Jean De Villiers, Jacque Fourie, etc) awesome athlete.

[@patergaskin]

Pierre Spies is an athletic freak of nature. Surely has the potential to become one of the best no. 8's in the game.

[@oliverburke]

Yeah it sounds like the same lady singer/Gladiator. Pierre Spies looks like the closest thing to a Superhero that there is in rugby. I've been away too long to know how his decision making is, but he runs with more vigor than most athletes out there. Very impressive. If he develops one of the best heads in the game, he just could be better than Batman ever could with training. Glad to hear he got Sportsman of the Year. Be nice to see more attitudes like his, then. Bravo!

[@HenryDube72]

Great music choice.

[@P33KSS]

that is awesome!

[@Impressionests1]

Wow.. He Is.. Unbelievable .. Through My Eyes. A HERO !

[@jamesaj93]

He is a class player that try against the blues is immense

[@HumblePeon2]

Amazing speed he has, its such an asset for a loose forward to have. The way he runs is almost like a sprinter

[@leonidasaa]

Guy is a phenomenal athlete. Doesn't have the all-round game of Parisse or Harinordoquy but he's still quite a young a guy.

[@XBOX36035]

legend in the sport this guy is :)

[@kennedygould]

Pierre Spies is a complete and utter fucking Spartan... should have been in 300

[@Mungop389]

the ultimate athlete

[@michaelelcombe]

Pierre Spies is a machine!!

[@Mattev2309]

incredible athlete !

[@southaucklandpolynesia]

Spies has bumped off alot of people too.

[@nicgeld]

We miss you man :( From a Stormers supporter.

[@LukeAnthonyDavey]

truly is a legend big, strong and as fast as any winger> he's wat every boy dreams of being

[@PiliaeAl]

BEAST!

[@corriedebeer799]

I really hope he could make it back to top flight rugby this year.

[@philipeafroboy1]

Pace for a Number 8!!!!! He's beating fullbacks!!

[@Apidium]

This song is from the film "Gladiator".

[@mrlluis93]

he's so articulate

[@ensoph89]

JUST POWER!

[@skopdiekak8636]

he is getting back there

[@lkrambar]

Right. Zinzan-class n°8!

[@delic619]

i'm an aussie and i totally agree with that

[@VoiceofReason871]

Man his size and speed are insane but whats more crazy is that Spies is a true forward!!

[@alexcollisson403]

best number 8 in the world

[@diogeneslantern18]

The Bokke miss him badly, only realising his true value when he is not there, Kanko is a show pony, similar players but doesnt have the edge or the workrate of Spies. I hope he will make is mark onthe 2011RWC as best 8th man

[@TenjiBenji]

100m in 11 seconds...6'5'' and 19stone...pierre you BEAST!!!

[@stephedl]

Actually they recorded it on screen during the world cup pool matches, distance/time, and he was 10.3 on grass. His most recent 100m run was recorded at 10.2, its not a rumour.

[@tagane07]

Speed with talent deadly combination

[@damiensmith823]

what a monster of a man. I'm not totally convinced he is human. 120Kgs 6'6 out running wingers/full backs. SPIEEEES.

[@badgeringbadger1364]

6'4 108kg....still awesome though

[@kdeasy08]

they will be by the next world cup

[@wavecycle]

Superman.

[@xWMxDixy]

i was thinking the same thing

[@abdezil]

i fucking love the music so perfect

[@ProbablySuperman]

@GpmNZ89 If you ask me, they needed game time to get going. They definitely rode their luck against Wales, but during their two real offensive moments, at the very beginning and some way into the second half, they scored. This showed, for me, that the Boks had potential, but needed time. I feel I was proved right after seeing the Fiji game, in which the South Africans won comfortably and by an good margin. Although there are still things to work on, I think they will improve with more time.

[@16bigred]

Im going to agree with you there man. but I think with his complete freakish human athleticism, if he develops more leadership, skill, and ability to read the game, he will be unstoppable. If he makes this step up this coming year or next year at the latest, I think he has the potential to be up there with the best backrowers ever

[@jedboy97]

Great video! What is the song called anyone please??

[@smacka69]

Great video, what a player!! Whats the song???

[@NeilC224]

[@mazaRFC]

[@HenryDube72]

thank you

[@strikers1985]

Spies has the potential to be amazing. Needs to work on his basic skills and also on his defense. Great video mate! Please keep making them

[@reganmyburgh3007]

Now He works for the Lord lovevto meet him❤😂

[@Westernforce3]

good player

[@WesselBadenhorstMe]

[@diogeneslantern18]

[@EggoH1992]

I think it has something to do with the lions tour to south africa on sky sports? Either was the introduction sequence to a test match or was an advert for the series. I could be wrong, hope it helps though! Type in Lions tour of south africa ad, should be a making of thing, which shows the final sequence!

[@QwerV2009]

The only No.8 who could outrun a wing...

[@Pezoca]

impresionante este tipo, que buen video, aguante los ñandues no alfojen nunca,

[@kdeasy08]

man so do we tho heaslip,ferris, wer gonna miss wallace and the bull tho

[@cdoyle820]

@KwyKz0r he wasn't offside he just ran at the right moment to intercept the ball

[@arnovanheerden7108]

pierre spies is so powerfull and fast! he is my role model but his rugby career is going down the drain he just isnt playing his best rugby anymore!

[@joshmultiboss]

true

[@diogeneslantern18]

No no my friend, the Bulls won the S14 and he was rated the 2nd best in the team on many aspects (2nd most tackles, 2nd most running metres gained, the list goes on and I'll provide more if you want)

[@thericky1]

hey whats the song? it sounds really cool

[@jinjan36]

Where's the music from, boet?

[@Degenerate_Gen]

lomu in the making...

[@chaoflip]

NAME OF THE SONG PLEASE!

[@thericky1]

freakishly big and fast eh this guy btw, does anyone know what song this is?

[@mcsound]

what does he always wear on his arm?

[@diogeneslantern18]

The final song in the movie Gladiator where Russell Crowe dies i believe? Correct if i'm wrong

[@91truffles]

what's this song called?

[@naidoo307]

A good Christian man amen

[@fredfishface]

why the number 11 jersey?

[@southaucklandpolynesia]

Spies is a blessed unique specimen, remind's me of one of the X-men! Spies is far better than Lomu! Spies can jump, step, fend, sprint, catch, spin, pass, tackle, goosestep without tripping up..Lomu's sickness put him into retirement..Spies sickness will never stop him..He is phenomenal! Death will not stop him! because He believes in God!

[@diogeneslantern18]

Look at the stats I posted earlier, he works helluva hard mate. gets past the advantage line on every run nd commits atleast 2 defenders and most of the time 3, so he creates a lot, it's up to the others to capitalize. And go to his website or purchase his dvd if you want to get insight into his attitude. I'm not attacking, just pointing out one or two things

[@TheGoodFu]

someone could tell me the name of the song in the background?

[@rhyshodge4718]

‘The end’ from the movie Man on Fire

[@marceljonker9772]

What's the songs name?!

[@porklover101]

is he faster than tonderai chanvanga because eah time i watch chavanga run it drops my jaw.

[@Mrbebulrc]

hey, I would like to know the name of the song! The singer is Enya, but I don't know which song is

[@jarrethcutestory]

Fuck he's fast for a number 8

[@chaoflip]
