American Reacts to 'Beauden Barrett 10 GOD MODE rugby plays'

[@tinstasr]

Kia ora. You need to watch a full game. All Blacks v Australia in Perth last Sunday would be a start.

[@claytonleilua9501]

3:35 So if the ball carrier crosses over the try line but hasn't yet grounded the ball, the opposing team can still stop him for doing so, either be stripping the ball from him, holding him or the ball up from touching the ground and a they can also tackle him over the touch line or drive backwards

[@DonalTreacy1]

A few individual players worth considering - Brian O'Driscoll, Jonah Lomu, Dan Carter, Cheslin Kolbe. Also you might be interested in Christian Wade. He was an international rugby player that switched to NFL last season (running back with Buffalo Bills). Got a 65-yard touchdown run on his first carry against the Indianapolis Colts.

[@craigmccullough7333]

Looking out for the name "Barrett" could mislead you. There are three brothers, all of whom have been selected to play for the All Blacks, sometimes at the same time.

[@matthewedgeworth4509]

Basically the rugby equivalent of a mobile QB. The position he mainly plays is #10 (out-half, fly-half, first 5/8 depending on where you are from) which is basically the conductor, the guy who runs the team and pulls the strings. It's a playmaking position and needs strong passing and kicking skills, Beauden is solid in those areas too but the threat of his running and speed opens up the rest of his game.

[@rocketrabble6737]

At 3:34 the point of "jumping in on Barrett" was to try to stop him grounding the ball. A try is only scored if the ball is grounded 'under control with downward pressure'. If a defender or defenders can get an arm, leg, etc. between the ball and the ground then it's 'no try'.

[@rocketrabble6737]

Beauden Barrett has generally been the No. 10 which is Fly half (sometimes stand off or 'first five-eighth' by New Zealanders). That position is the main 'play maker'. If a ball comes from forwards set piece , for instance, the scrum half will normally pass to the fly half. He has the options to kick (for territory, tactical advantage or touch), run with the ball, or pass to whoever is best placed. In most sides the fly half also takes most of the kicks; conversions, penalties and drop kicks. In recent years he has been playing full back (no.15) for the ABs. In the modern era Dan Carter is generally considered the ABs greatest no.10.

[@rocketrabble6737]

The individual player that many would recommend is the great Jonah Lomu who remodelled the concept of wing play.

[@claytonleilua9501]

2:24 So in that clip, Beauden was chasing down the springboks player that got the intercept and he managed to just trip the guy up and the players foot ended touching the touch line (out of bounds) which the ball was then given back to the All Black's

[@bloody927]

He thought Barrett was the other guy 🤦‍♂️

[@rocketrabble6737]

At 5:12 he was making a tactical kick to touch to set up a lineout. The skill is that if you are outside of your own own 22-metre 'defence area' you have to bounce the ball from a kick before it goes over the side line. If you don't then the lineout throw is taken by the opposition from level with where you kicked it; not where it crossed the line. It is a fine piece judgement as if you go for a safe bounce a long way short of the side touch line then a defender will probably intercept the ball.

[@olliecraven5363]

Rene ranger biggest hits goes hard

[@timfitzmaurice537]

Barret is stunningly good, one of the best at 10 probably, but THE best…no. I think Dan Carter found smaller gaps and did better playing for the same team, the All Blacks, but others will differ. Personally I think its impossible to define a best player - what makes a world class prop is totally different to a world class back and players have to be judged in their teams context too. So defining GOAT in rugby is in my opinion a waste of time….Parisse is a case in point. I think once a player becomes a Great of the game, thats as far as you can go.

[@alfiethebutler3805]

Beauden plays for the New Zealand national 15's side. He hold the record for their Bronco fitness drills. He is a brilliant rugby player with great vision, which is why he plays pivot or first five-eighth (#10), being the playmaking position in 15‐a-side rugby. Other popular players easily in the mix includes his team mate Ardie Savea, a flanker (#7), powerful and relentless, and one Anton Du Pont, scrum half (#9) for the French national 15's team, great vision and prowess. The South African, French and Irish sides have recently upset the New Zealand side which has been in the world's top ranking spot for most of the sports history so far. Beauden Barrett's predecessor was by far one of the most skilful players to ever play the game, his name is Daniel Carter, mercurial is the word.

[@SmithCaro]

The ball has to touch the ground with force (a body part securely grounding the ball) to be awarded a try. If an opposing team member can "hold up" the ball from the grounding it will not be awarded a try.

[@liamatkins8832]

I love these rugby reactions vids keep up the work

[@andi4022]

To score a try you have to put the ball on the floor with downward pressure. So if the tackler is able to "wrap" around the other player, so the ball does not touch the ground, it's no try. That's you will be chased till you hear the whistle.

[@PatrickBrown924]

The scary thing is, Beauden's not even New Zealand's first choice fly-half anymore - that's Richie Mo'Unga. You should have a look at him. The rising star in the position is Marcus Smith, a young English guy who's definitely the next big thing. Danny Cipriani and Finn Russell are worth a watch too. Some other people have made good suggestions of players to react to. You'll definitely love Cheslin Kolbe. For some great scrum-halves, try Faf de Klerk, Antoine Dupont, or my hometown hero, Ulster's John Cooney.

[@lastpenny849]

Lets see, I hope Smith doesn't get ruined like all the other promising fly halves of the past.. Dani Cipriani springs to mind..

[@t-k4444]

Brilliant anticipation, great balance, fast and quick off the mark. Good kicking skills. A damn reliable fullback, yet he can plai first five aswell as inside centre. But I think he is best at fullback.

[@andremanlutac]

Definitely Brian odriscoll 👍🏼

[@claytonleilua9501]

If you want to react to another player idk if you've done him or not but there's a Tongan player that played for the All blacks, the team the Beauden plays for. He's probably the GOAT of rugby. He played I think from the 90's to early 2000's, he unfortunately passed away a few years back. But when he was in his prime he was UNSTOPPABLE. Trust me you won't be disappointed

[@sandramorris893]

Do you mean Jonah Lomu? If so, totally agree.

[@JDBoyes07]

As others have said check out Cheslin Kolbe, or Damien Mckenzie, exciting as runners with the ball and super creative.

[@proudkiwi7641]

Beauden Barret was probably the world's best player between 2016 to 2018 (despite only winning the 'IRB player of the year' in 2016 and 2017) however, ever since 2019 his game has been in a steady decline. Tbh if I were to pick the world's "best player" today it would be between Cheslin Kolbe of South Africa, Antoine Dupont of France or Micheal Hooper of Australia.

[@lastpenny849]

Hooper must hate playing for Australia, he's the only good player in that team. I think Aaron Smith could be on that list too.. best at his position..easily.

[@calebevans7563]

you should react to ngani laumape hes such a beast in rugby but its upto u

[@calebevans7563]

as a new Zealander half Samoan beauden is such a great player in how he plays he's fast too aswell but he's obviously one of the best number 10s but obviously him and Mo'unga are the great number 10s hard to choose between them

[@newremote]

At 2:00 you say he did the same thing for the opposing team, which isn't what's happening. The intercept was by the quick South African player Willie Le Roux, and Barrett is the one who chased him down and made the tackle.

[@676_C4kRaZie]

Look up Shaun Johnson or Jason Taumalolo you won't regret it

[@shiftygirl6434]

still waiting for ryan to react to loigue, lol

[@5tycho]

Barrett is great but also check out Faf De Klerk, Dan Carter, Jonah Lomu for sure. A bunch of people have mentioned Cheslin Kolbe, he's probably the best winger right now (Lomu is probably the best winger of all time, him and Kolbe are complete opposites in terms of size)

[@rocketrabble6737]

I will say that 'some' of the tries he scored in this compilation were not against 'top class international opposition as at 8:09 against Namibia; but of course you play what is in front of you!

[@bonganic5125]

Great reaction. I would like to suggest you try looking up Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen.

[@Sacredearthling]

I've always loved beauden barrett and I realize that the guy I'm dating has literally all of the same looks😂

[@maidaursuladawn44glasgow3]

Two of the Barrett 🎉brothers play for the All Blacks

[@loganmurugambinos6435]

Beauden Barrett just played last weekend . You should check the game highlights out. New Zealand vs Australia playing for the bledisloe cup and TRI nations tournament . Also includes south Africa and Argentina . Up The All Blacks

[@lastpenny849]

Is he back from Japan? Aaaah..I've been stuck in Thailand for a year, so the news is minimal..

[@mckellardenzyl]

Try looking up Quade Cooper for some flashy stuff.

[@kai_au6765]

Jarryd Hayne played really well in the nfl

[@briansmaller7443]

Lots of great individual rugby players but it is a team game. Nobody can shine unless the whole team performs.

[@maceyrickard6836]

Dweyne vermulen for south Africa is awesome

[@Krissi3707]

Daniel Carter will always be the best all round flyhalf for ABs Beauden is talented though

[@rugbywatchesgaming4048]

Whatever you do check out Cheslin Kolbe. Antoine dupont and they guy keeping barret on the bench these days Richie Mounga

[@anthonymoore1705]

he jumped on him to stop him putting the ball down, remember the ball has to be put down on the ground to score.

[@farkstein1213]

look up Faf de Klerk highlights (south african player who is quite short)

[@jeremydasneves6037]

Arguably the best try finishing player in the world right now is Cheslin Kolbe.

[@rocketrabble6737]

Have a look at people like Jonah Lomu (legend), Brian O'Driscoll (genius), Dan Carter,Jonny Wilkinson, Maro Itoje,

[@mackgamer3136]

Best stepper ever christian Cullen Wellington Hurricanes AKA ex New Zealand All black

[@norom4544]

Check out Jona Lomu, Cheslin Kolbe, Faf de Klerk

[@calebevans7563]

cheslin kolbe is probarly the smallest rugby player besides brad weber but hes a good player

[@bengutsell]

[@TheoZoffrok]

Enjoying your rugby reactions. I think you might enjoy sampling a bit of rugby union from an earlier age, when it was still an amateur sport, and some of the greatest characters the game has ever known were in their pomp. The 1973 match between the All Blacks (New Zealand) and the Barbarians (a scratch team featuring players from different countries) is regarded by many rugby aficionados as one of the greatest ever played. It featured legends of the game like Welshmen Gareth Edwards, John ("JPR") Williams, and Phil Bennett, Irish wizard Mike Gibson, dashing Englishman David Duckham, and Kiwi fliers like Bryan Williams and Grant Batty. I've never seen anyone react to these highlights, how about it?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH7HaIOHltuUrNk

[@brendanoreilly2014]

No. 10 is as close as you get to "quarterback" - he controls the back play

[@uchennaazih199]

Cheslin Kolbe

[@looking8030]

[@xavierbrown4250]

[@lastpenny849]

He's currently playing in Japan, so he's not available for All Blacks selection, he will probably come back to NZ before the next World Cup so he can be selected. (No Overseas players Rule). Also please check out Jonah Lomu, the GOAT ( and I don't say that lightly). If you look at his career and how he did it and under what circumstances, you will appreciate it. Dan Carter, Ma'a Nonu, Richie McCaw all great All Black players from the past decade, all worth checking out. Their team was insane. EdIt; He's already back from Japan..

[@calebevans7563]

no hes playing for the all blacks just saw him in two bledisloe cups against australia but the 3rd one not playing due to covid 19

So is every game, except Football (soccer), but that only applies to the ball, player can be out of bounds with the ball in play. Tennis I guess..
