I’m glad the second video showed his offloads! That’s what he’s best known for. He’s one of the greatest athletes ever for sure, he would excel in almost any sport. He also played Sevens for NZ, but got injured so he didn’t make the Olympics.

[@QSNgg]

Yeah he looked like such a well rounded and tough athlete. I loved his offloads! SBW is incredible!

[@rittherugger160]

17:00 That's not just interacting with a fan. That is Sonny Bill giving that random fan the medal he had just been awarded for winning the World Cup.

[@QSNgg]

Thanks for giving me context on what happened there Rit! I appreciate you! It's cool that he did that and shows how great of a guy SBW is. Super cool

[@lewistumelty]

I watched the first half and thought 'these guys are not doing SBW justice here'. Then the 2nd video showed what hes really about - the best offloader in the game. Theres no team in the world that can defend against someone who can break the gain line every time, take 2 or 3 defenders out of the game and make impossible offloads to support runners. Best ive ever seen at doing it. Also a lot of his tries were walk ins but its understated how difficult it is to run those lines and take the ball flat at pace! Wish he was Welsh!!

[@QSNgg]

You said it perfectly Lewis! I really loved seeing his offloads! I'm going to be sure to check out more of his highlights just to see the magic he created on the field.

[@MagnarMax]

Sonny - played in Rugby League World Cup final Won two Rugby World Cup titles Played 7s at the Olympics But was back up for the legend Ma'a Nonu, the most successful team in Sport - All Blacks -2010 - 2015 , 90% win rate

[@QSNgg]

That's an impressive resume

[@rukmansiriwardana3866]

Sonny Bill was experiencing a fantastic phase in All Blacks rugby, amidst great centers like Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith, and Richard Kahui. Although he often started from the bench, whenever given the chance, he delivered his best, as evident in his performance today. His act of generosity, giving away his World Cup gold medal to a kid who ran onto the field, speaks volumes about his character. You can witness this heartwarming moment in the video's final part. Perhaps you can react to his video on that.

[@QSNgg]

That's an incredible story about the gold medal after the WC. It speaks to his character for sure

[@geoffclifton4764]

The last clip at the end was after the final of the 2015 World Cup. The boy ran onto the field to hug Sonny Bill and was removed by the stewards. Sonny Bill after receiving his gold medal found the boy in the crowd and gave him his medal.

[@QSNgg]

That's awesome that he did that! Shows how great a man SBW is. Thanks for letting me know the context behind that clip Geoff

[@jaconiemand5926]

From n Springboks supporter...One of my fav players of all time,a true inspiration,and so humble.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

As an England rugby supporter for decades, I can tell you right now: Sonny Bill was truly feared! What a legend.

[@QSNgg]

I can see why! England has some legends I need to watch more footage on too. I appreciate you Ingens 🙌🏽

[@arthurfaulkner4239]

SquidgeRugby's video on the world cup final just got re-uploaded. He makes the most in-depth analysis videos on KZbin and I'd really recommend you check it out. It's 45 minutes and Squidge can be a bit hard to understand if you aren't too familiar with his accent, but the video has some great strategic and tactical insights that I think you will appreciate and it also gives you an insight into the captain Siya Kolisi in a way that a highlights video never would.

[@QSNgg]

Yes I love Squidge! I'll 100% check out that video. I'm glad he was able to get it reuploaded without issues. He is incredible

[@konini12]

Sonny Bill in his league days was known for his shoulder charge...you'd enjoy his league biggest hits bro 👊

[@QSNgg]

I'll definitely check out more SBW content. Seems like I only saw the tip of the iceberg from what I've been hearing from feedback. I appreciate you

[@michaelsblyth]

Those moves like at 13:20 where they switch the angle back (as the defense is drifting away from the camera) against the grain are always picture perfect. Classic way to beat the drift defence

[@QSNgg]

I really love seeing that! You said it perfectly Michael

[@TiaPetaia]

Great reaction bro!! Hes a hit king in Rugby League when Shoulder hits were legal. He's put people to sleep mid match 😂 youll like it!! Solid vid bro🙌🏽

[@QSNgg]

Much love Tia! I appreciate you always boss!! I heard he flatlined people and I see how 🤣 He's massive! Big love always bro 🙌🏽❤️

[@lukemarais41]

Such a talented player. Another one to watch for his speed is Tonerai Chavangha. Ex Springbok and Stormers winger.

[@QSNgg]

Thanks for the recommendation on Tonerai Chavangha! I'll check him out for sure

[@simonmaher1989]

He was a beast in the NRL. He was only an offload king on Rugby.

[@QSNgg]

That's what I've been hearing! I'll have to check out more of his content for sure. I barely saw the tip of the iceberg from what I've been seeing from feedback. I appreciate you Simon

[@CevaQ]

SBW was one of the best centers of his time, very good defensively, had an excellent and devastating off-load and he also had a good eye for a gap. His big problem however was that he had a weak pass and was first exploited by the Cheetahs when instead of marking SBW they marked the runner on his shoulder i.e instead of trying to prevent SBW from offloading they simply marked the receiver of said off-load thus forcing SBW to start giving normal passes and he then started making mistakes like passing behind the receiver or over the receiver's head. Once other teams picked up on this he wasn't as effective anymore and soon after dropped out of favour in the AB squad SBW would be selected for the NZs 7's team for the Commonwealth games but because there are less players on the field your normal passes are more essential and that means far less opportunities for SBW's trademark off-loads and thus you got the same result.

[@QSNgg]

I've been hearing so much about his off-loads. I'm going to have to check out more videos on him for sure. I appreciate your incredible breakdown on him as well So helpful hearing the backstory and history of him. It teaches me a lot! I appreciate you 🙌🏽

[@Joe_Kondeez]

Probably NZS best athlete.. The accolades to back it up.. if you got shoulder charged back in my day, you got sonny bill'd 😂 the man 💯

[@QSNgg]

SBW is an absolute freak of nature and all-around athlete! Like you said, I would hate to get shoulder charged by this man 🤣🤣

[@davidspendlove5900]

A monster in both rugby codes.

[@QSNgg]

That's what I've been hearing! I'll have to do more reviews of his highlights. He's has an impressive resume

[@AndreDelanightmares]

Kiwi here bro. Just subscribed

[@QSNgg]

Massive love Andre! I appreciate you boss. Welcome to the Qrew! I'm looking forward to staying connected and getting to connect with you more here 🙌🏽

[@ChipBatty]

In one of the last clips, SBW is in the crowd with a child. the story behind that was the kid invaded the pitch after NZ won the world cup in 2015. kid got smoked by security and SBW proceeded to go to the kid and give him the gold medal he had just received.

[@QSNgg]

SBW is awesome! I love that he gave the kid his gold medal

[@shed77]

Watch some of his rugby league highlights

[@QSNgg]

I will check them out for sure

[@beeby9689]

Watch Nehe Milner Skudder, pretty sure thats his name. played around the same time as sonny. incredibly agile player

[@QSNgg]

I'll check out Milner Skudder. Thanks for the recommendation

[@anthonymoore1705]

if you want to know how tough and brutal rugby used to be, there's a youtube clip of former all black captain buck shelford called tough bastards, i highly recommend watching it.

[@QSNgg]

I'll check out Buck Shelford for sure! I appreciate you Anthony!

[@xAvaragex]

It super rugby. The greatest rugby period. React to the greatest 12 in my opinion, the guy next to sonny Bill. Ma'a Nonu and Sonny actively boxes while paying rugby. He was a Heavyweight champion. This is one of the few guys who love to throw hands with Eben Etzebeth,those two got in to some serious confrontations on the field. Because let's face Sonny will KNOCK Ebens block off

[@QSNgg]

I'll check out Ma'a Nonu for sure. It's wild he had that boxing background! Sonny is a freak of nature!

[@willsonj]

Only Kiwis think Super Rugby is the best! The standard of defence is poor in comparison to Europe and SA. The loose play style is fun to watch to be fair, but French club rugby is the highest standard right now imo.

[@xAvaragex]

@@willsonj Im not a kiwi but okay lol. Im pure african. The super 14 is unmatched sorry bro

[@willsonj]

@@xAvaragex Toulouse would beat any team from Super

Interesting fact a connection to the great MIKE TYSON. Tyson fought against the south African THE WHITE BUFFALO Francois BOTHA and BOTHA gave Tyson a good fight had Tyson worried a bit until Tyson got him in the fifth round well SBW also fought against Francois BOTHA and sonny beat BOTHA on a contentious decision in a twelve rounder.

[@andrewgoodenough1809]

@@QSNgg the big thing for me with rugby is I can not think of a national team that does not have a world class stand out player , not just a best player on the team but a player that could play if eligible for new Zealand South Africa England or any top team but they don't get the publicity of the big teams ,Georgia , Japan , Argentina, Italy ,Fiji Tonga I could go on but all of these teams have at least one top class world ranked players who are as good or better than those in the big five.
