Dane Coles Tribute - "Modern-day hooker"

[@godisbollocks]

His line out throwing is ridiculously accurate. I can't remember ever seeing him get pinged for not throwing it in straight. Dude is a weapon.

[@franklinkitpikus1526]

also 2 awesome coles trys from the rugby championship missing there, this guy is wicked!

[@jpowell2603]

Dane the kind of guy you need on your side when punches are about to be let loose 👌

[@chadbrown8940]

Jamie George could potentially be England's Dane Coles if he's given a chance

[@huia7286]

He's from my hometown went to my primary and college yeah

[@VidzMisc]

and?

[@zacharyellis3536]

When

[@UD_25]

this guy is a machine

[@reg1naldsm1th]

Gone are the days when forwards trudged from set piece to set piece. Us Poms will never catch up until rugby is played in the schoolyard. That's where skills are learnt and practised.

[@danmcgivern4057]

@Cameron Brown Having lived for long periods in both countries I don't think rugby is played in the school yards anywhere to the same extent in Britain as it is in New Zealand. The formal games of rugby yes, but in NZ informal games which happen in school yards on the daily no. I think the better climate in NZ plays a big part in that.

DANE COLES IS A FUCKING BEAST

[@nestorcortez1379]

Agustin Creevy is better!!!

[@jacquesvanwyk4642]

Look, I'm a South African and I've always thought that Bismarck was special, but this guy has no equal.

[@mcflytv6132]

I met Dane today, he's a champion

[@rhyshodge4718]

very easily the best hooker of the 2000's, wasnt just some swan, he had great edge forward ability to link up with the backs and keep the rucks safe. great set piece and he could play tight when he needed/wanted to, with hard defence, could do some top work in a pick and drive. class stuff

[@ST-dr6qx]

The Most Lethal Bag of potatoes! Great Player(and equally Great nuisance for the opponents)

3:50ふみさーーーーん

[@pak7524]

Great :)

[@jerredbaxter7273]

I'm starting rugby, I've just turned 18 and been told I have potential to go professional if I bust ass. I'm 5'7, 193 pounds, I'm fast for someone my size and extremely strong for my age, my friend who wants me too play with his club said he could see me as a utility hooker, is any of this possible? I've always loved this sport, regal aggresion, I want to go as far as possible, the college I will be going to has a jv and varsity team and after that I want to see where I'll go from there. Any feedback is appreciated. thanks in advance.

[@mcflytv6132]

back yourself champ. just gotta follow your dreams and put in 100% hard yakka along the way

[@mcflytv6132]

eat right, sleep right. stay away from crack and negative people. above all- watch out for #1.

[@sinisterkill9110]

lol

[@bremCZ]

Depends what position you play. Hard to play top level if you havent been playing since you were a kid. Possible, but the best players in the world started playing when they were kids. Its like most pro sport, there is an element of instinct that is actually just having grown up playing. If you want to play, forget about your speed and size and carry a ball everywhere you go. Skills beat size every day of the week.

[@Gaboxxy96]

With your height youd be more suited as a 9

Wowww...wats the name of this song

[@bojangles577]

Dan Coles vs Keven Mealamu? who is better?

[@brendonn7950]

4:04 DAM!

[@VidzMisc]

easy to clock someone flat footed, pause it at 4:04. the geezer didn't have a clue. very poor awareness.

[@henaresadlier]

i reckon hed do pretty well i league too. Cant see him giving up the no 2 jersey anytime soon though

[@seanwatson3338]

he looks like a wing

[@naiofahengaue2333]

they say hes faster than julian savea

[@bremCZ]

Who says? Savea is quicker over 100. Coles might be over 30...

[@ElgrupoM-H]

so im new to rugby and my coach said i might be a hooker does the hooker ever get the ball to score a try?

[@bremCZ]

If you are Dane Coles you can score plenty but mainly Hookers end up retiring with a few tries and plenty of neck injury and screwed ears.

[@zacronk6945]

Every position is an attacking threat. It depends on your play style. Don't think about "Does my position get to score". It's all about your work rate, positioning, and knowledge of the game. Especially at the lower levels of the game, any position can score frequently.

[@ElgrupoM-H]

Hey uh thanks guys i actually am gonna be hooker i have pretty good not the best speed and i usually do get the ball most the time our first game is this Saturday

[@computerkopman123]

@@ElgrupoM-H Hey how is the rugby going?
