All Blacks Damian McKenzie As A Superstar Schoolboy | Rugby Highlights | RugbyPass

[@nomadicroadrat]

Watching, even if one didn't know who McKenzie was, one couldn't help notice his charisma and his complete intense concentration. A true athlete.

[@GiraffeFeatures]

The kicks he was achieving at his age was absolutely bonkers, what a talent!

As it happens I was at the game. Bloody cold not helped by a hangover due to the OBHS anniversary celebrations taking place that weekend. McKenzies try was a thing of beauty

[@frederickirchhoff2413]

This is the just pure Rugby, Damian especially but all the boys just bring the Old Rugby Spirit to life here. Way more fun to watch this than some of the professional games of the recent years.

[@LureThosePixels]

That concrete and road right next to the corner isn't very ideal

[@finn54123]

[@cohearted9293]

Fine Art nah he’s referring to where McKenzie scores, right by the gym is still concrete. U r right tho

[@bena3341]

Well the road is like 50 metres from the field. But yea I went to school there and I never understood why they don't move the field 10 metres the other way. There is plenty of room at the north end of the grass.

[@killakilla9203]

I feel for McKenzie , in every other country he would be the fullback at international level but he always misses out on making the all blacks starting fullback role. Dagg Ben smith Beauden Barret Jordie Barret these are just some of the players who McKenzie has had to compete with for the 15 jumper over the years

[@deishawnclarke308]

I feel like he wouldve started at 15 at the world cup and barrett and 10 if he didnt tear his acl

[@raubi1549]

McKenzie is the perfect impact sub, finding gaps when the opposition legs are tired. And then you can choose where he is best to deploy him at wing, 10 or 15.

[@harizizzat09]

now theres havili and will jordan lol

[@mister1arda522]

Hes better than jordie haha will defo start 15 once things go back now hes matured or when ben smith retires

Lots of comments with people being offended on the Maori’s behalf... Lots of Maori’s saying that they don’t give a shit... Accepting and partaking in part of a culture isn’t offensive. Don’t forget we all came from Africa. If you move somewhere, you should always embrace the culture. Over time those cultures become your own and those of your families.
