Sam Tuitupou - Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter

Sam Tuitupou made a career out of destroying opponents in the tackle. The former All Blacks is one of the most ferocious defenders that rugby has ever seen. Is he rugby's hardest ever hitter?

Great tackling technique, good form, goes low and is quite strong for his size.. Kids need to watch this.

You're a kid you watch it little punk

Thanks for upload bruv. One of the hardest hitters outta West Auckland. I remember when the British n Irish Lions came in 2005 and they played Auckland provincial team. Tuitupou was playing, one of the English props did not respond well to Sams tackle n gave him a shove, Tuitupou responded with a flurry of punches which bloodied the English man's nose along with a black eye. The only ever time he reacted like this. It was great and added to his aura of being a fearless tackler✊🏾💯🇳🇿🇹🇴

Trevor. Leota.

George Pisi is another guy

[@that682kid.C]

I remember when he hit brad thorne twice vs the saders

[@nodeartr8134]

He was like rene, very strong for someone who didn’t weigh that much

[@lesblase3667]

Have you heard of Benson Stanley? He’s another one. All 3 Blues brothers 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵

[@kimjongun269]

Nah his weak

Rene’s one of my favorite players but Tuitupou will sit him on ass tbh lol

[@MahiWork]

Rene ended up about 103kg I think, so he was considerably bigger. Still a powerful player though

[@greylynnjr]

Played against him in club rugby. I subbed off as soon as he came on 😅

[@JohnNanai]

Nah that goes to Brian 'the chiropractor' Lima

[@seansmith9435]

Brian and Sam are both good..!!stop hating lol

[@tino-bn3up]

Brian alright Sam way better that’s why he was in the ABs best team

[@masterroshimagazines4354]

My favourite number 12 as a kid him and mcallister

[@stylekat]

One of my favourite players ever. He broke his ribs in a test match and kept playing 👍

[@MahiWork]

Sammy is the man. There are so many highlights that aren't on here. I can literally remember so many games that I watched on TV where he just hammered dudes. He absolutely hammered Greek Feek in one game (All Blacks prop). The first time I ever saw how riduculous he was was during an Under 21's game between NZ and SA - he was all of about 80kg then, which made him more enticing to run at. Little did those SA boys know that they would regret their decisions to run down his channel like he was your average 80kg player.

Great Great player. But don't forget Jerry Collins

[@fletmok3548]

Sam had an impressive wrestling record along with his brother Munder out West Auckland

[@selwynmcdonald9062]

Hahah yup commander ...mander was a savage

[@kevd2448]

You cant teach this , some guys just love to tackle, esp head on .

[@marionkolo1386]

Sam was probably one of the most explosive defence midfield in his prime. I remembered he floored Jerry Collins several times.. Man he can hit

[@selwynmcdonald9062]

I played with Sam all through school and a tat roosters ...back then it was his attack that was deadly ...he was wiked with the ball

[@artetaDagoat]

Tat Roosters? That's why the Brother tackles hard

[@judeengland1389]

Crazy i know this guy, i went to primary school with his daughter

[@ricoiverson8067]

Pocket rocket. He is half tongan and half brian Lima lol

For his size, dammm he can hit.

[@calebormsby6351]

This guy made the First XV at Kelston Boys High School in 3rd form 🤯 (That’s your first year in high school to the rest of the world) That’s when you know you’ve got the goods 😂👌🏾

[@pcmateo42]

They not built like sammy anymore 🤣 i remember watching a clip of Tonga 18’s vs NZ U18 where Sam was captain. He put a hit on one of the Tongan Big boys and he mever played rugby again 🤣

[@hannotn]

Most of the time Jonah was too out of position to do more than jersey grab. Put some big hits on now and then, but he wasn't great at marking up on defence.

[@shaolintemple6886]

@@hannotn Ur opinion bro🫡

[@mattkiwi222]

When people talk about hardest hitters, a lot of the time they mention Sam Tuitupou because of the weight difference. Jonah was a beast, one of a kind, but for him to replicate Sam’s hits, he would have to be folding 140kg guys on the regular.

😂😂😂😂 he’s ass

[@saranshvats7514]

I think you got the surname wrong , its Underhill who's the hardest 😉

[@monunyabidness5949]

You can only say this if you haven't watched much rugby. It's quite clear. Sam is great tackler and fetcher. Hard hitter? Sometimes. Brian Lima on the other hand ...

[@selwynmcdonald9062]

Hahaha wat eva....Underhill should've played in nz a lil while...he would've been a no body....Trevor leota would've put his lights out

[@seansmith9435]

Who the hell is underwear hahaha I mean underhill haha

[@granthughes6738]

Half the shown tackles are late. Some are the outcome of a "hospital pass". The receiver has no choice but to actually take the ball the instant he is struck, with no chance to brace or fend or turn his shoulder in to the tackle. It is a legal tackle and Sam's timing is perfect. Don't agree he is the hardest hitter ever.
