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

As a schoolboy, Damian McKenzie captained the Christs College 1st XV often against bigger schools. Against the powerhouse of Otago Boys in 2013, McKenzie left the commentators speechless with an inspired performance in the traditional clash that almost pulled off a great upset. This is the game that put McKenzie on the map. #1stXVRugby #ChiefsRugby #AllBlacks

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.

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

[@dank-m5874]

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. Anyway...everyone needs to calm down and appreciate this great video 👌🏻👍🏻
