BREAKDOWN 101 with Richie McCaw | SKY TV

[@vonteflon]

"The tackle's not completed until I'm back on my feet". Wise words.

[@brianvittachi6869]

Not the biggest, neither the fastest, nor the strongest. Richie Macaw just does the simple things very well and with 100% commitment. Great captain.

[@Degenerate_Gen]

+VidSpasm and one of, if not the fittest guy in the squad.

[@solo6810]

fittness and strength come from hardwork

[@mvumsiayo3214]

Yes, he is 100% committed to cheated and simply does it well.

[@Bacon56ful]

Part of it is also hes really fucking smart; look IT UP!

[@MKRM27]

Mvumsi Ayo Yes, he made a career out of cheating, and getting away with it. Referees almost afforded him the leniency because of who he was; the current NZ are no more obvious at their cheating, but they get penalised much more.

[@starmersbarber]

A brilliant demonstration of how McCaw was such a brilliant player. There's something so authoritative about New Zealanders explaining rugby. I really enjoy Jeff Wilson in this clip. As a player (a truly excellent one), he always seemed so serious and intense...and here, he's smiling and enjoying being part of this masterclass!

[@BM-bc6jj]

Great player. Great captain. Great Person! Truly extraordinary in all facets and a terrific ambassador for sport and NZ. Legend!

[@Vinsanity_93]

He even complements pocock, 2 of the games greatest 7s in my opinion

[@dls1681]

thats because pocock was no big threat. When Burger first came on the scene all kiwis were scared that he'd pick up the 7 positon to where Ritchie would get out played (even Ritchie himself). But as demonstrated in this video there werent many if any that were up to his level of mastery of the open flanker position

[@tm.8399]

@@dls1681 Lets add Dusautoir which never needed to be offside or off his feet half the time to teach McCaw how to be the best flanker.

[@rosk.wilburn5847]

Yes

[@mlguy8376]

Every year I used to ask santa for a Richie McCaw for the England team!

[@MrDartanyon]

robert Chin 🤪

[@jamesgustav8214]

😂😂😂😂😊😂😂 nice one bro ...guss santa answered with underhill

[@xdsnakeboy]

Stuff you robert Chin

[@maeababokai4829]

Prayers answered...you have the Kamikaze kidz...Curry and Underhill

[@monsieurboks]

Well Santa certainly delivered, we got two!

[@pakamamehlo3027]

I'm a South African but Richie was my best #7

[@lesterfaapaiaga9681]

this is gold man, great video and educational from the legend

[@alicelil2228]

I'm going to miss you McCaw

[@ernienicholas1812]

Was just his mindset of never giving up. Hes the GOAT

[@Area51WasOurMoon]

Jokes and friendliness between All Blacks players that makes them unique and win most games played.

[@sasamokofisi1918]

Richie is next to iceman Michael Jones the best #7 in the world. I watch them play on different style I like iceman around the fields he is something else respect both.

[@copycatninjitsu]

kamo, goldie and the king, what a trio 😊

[@MrKokoboy]

3 Kiwi Legends

[@geoffwaldman]

don't retire Richie, you have one more season in you at least

[@myroseaccount]

One of the greatest players of all time

[@lahnisiuaana3687]

everyone who uses that McCaw is a cheat argument is a bloody sheep that just says what the next bloke says. He's just the most technically gifted player to play the game. Nor is he an outrageously dirty player like the majority of you think he s and its been proven that he is more often on the receiving end. Because he understands the game more in depth than most people he's automatically a cheater?! It just gives him a very obvious distinct advantage. something also to note is incredible core strength which is probably the key reason to why he's so good at what he does.

[@inBODwetrust13]

No, because he spent his career offside and playing the ball whilst off his feet he was a cheat.

[@sinisterkill9110]

inBODwetrust13 if hes a cheat why continue to play us not very smart on your countrys part

[@hanoitripper1809]

Nope.. He a cheat son

[@sinisterkill9110]

Hanoi Tripper why continue to play us then preaty dumb on your countrys part should be a gull blown conclusion if hes a cheat

[@hanoitripper1809]

The bledisloe is much bigger than to be cancelled due to one dirty cheat, even that eye gouging cheat Dick Loe couldn't get it cancelled.. cmon kiddo

[@kyblack123]

Had to look twice at the clip’s photo as I thought it was Goldie bowing at Richie’s feet LOL

[@michaelwallace8861]

Christ! Jones & Wilson! Legends!

[@niueanlaho]

Awesome McCaw......

[@james080871]

Fantastic, building on the work of michael jones and Josh Kronfeld. Mccaw is something else though

[@kc833]

Andrew Fynn 100% with you mate.Michael Jones was an amazing player but for me McCaw is even better and without doubt the best ever All Black.

[@james080871]

By far 140 plus games is evidence of that.

[@ferasjawad1731]

+Keذوvin Clarkز

[@hanoitripper1809]

Jones the best pre knee.. Reinvented after

[@Fillerzine]

G.O.A.T.

[@userman9301]

Fillerzine Fuck no Jonah Lomu,Dan Carter,Gareth Edwards and Brian O Driscoll are far better

[@tyonamin]

Roger Najjar BOD? Hmm...

[@bustarogers9990]

Roger...good players but Richie is by far the greatest overall player to ever play the game in my humble opinion.

[@Do27gg]

I’m a football fan and I find these so interesting

[@garethdesborough7960]

The GOAT at work.

[@BriggsysRugbyVideos]

Excellent

[@matakapi186]

Man Richie knows what he talking about awesome

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

Great video. Always learning about rucking.

[@johnmorrison8144]

All the haters just hate whether it's Mccaw or anything in general cause you wish you had that.

[@laineefenton1676]

Awww Jeff Wilson, you look like your panicking mate. Great explaination! I think ppl need to see this more.

[@jasonmoser8957]

Wow, Ian Jones!

[@Mo-yd8xc]

He's there to teach you how to play the ball while off your feet.

[@FlatStan1l]

Love to see david Pocock do one of these masterclass'

[@MKRM27]

Shenton8 Pocock is much, much more effective at the breakdown within the laws. McCaw relied on referees not penalising him - because of who he was.

[@tyonamin]

You're delusional. No ref would think "Oh it's Richie! Let's not penalize him."

[@dexterwarena2204]

WAWAWA

[@hanoitripper1809]

The horrid bright color of the Aussie jumper made it easy to penalize compared to black jumper.. Plus gay fanboy owens in WC final who just wanted to polish richies sausage 😂

[@alexbrogan5919]

MKRM27 how did he get to become who he was then

[@SD78]

That giraffe looks JUST LIKE Ian Jones!

[@tewaewae]

+SD78 Nah it's a TV celebrity called Kamo.

[@koskuxxahau]

+tewaewae I'm confused

[@scottclark1975]

Smart bloke and strong as an ox

[@anthonyburn1010]

Total GOAT.

[@BennVai]

GOAT

[@atapanameleisea3268]

you need Ritchie on here all the time.

[@johnfradgley7368]

Is that Ian Jones? Another AB legend

[@calebormsby6351]

Everyone calling him a cheat! He’s just super clever and skilful enough to get away with it. His IQ for the game is crazy. Look at players in other sports like LeBron, Ronaldo, Brady… people say the exact same thing about them. How ironic that the greatest players in each code get labeled cheats. Are they actual cheaters tho? Or do they know the game / refs so well, that they know exactly how to get away with it? 🤔 Richie was renowned for studying every ref before the game, just to know how he refs. It’s even on his doco ‘Chasing Great’ Food for thought…

[@10pennysweets]

McCaw is brilliant. NZ and Australia are backwaters. Please hit the like button.

[@niphonxumalo8342]

looks good

[@itztainui6781]

Very cleaver mccaw

[@cameronmilne3590]

Can't be Richie McCaw, he wasn't offside.

[@kimrollo8606]

+Seige CJ If your RICHIE MCCAW your never off side

[@MKRM27]

Seige CJ Ha ha... also funny to hear him say less leniency is a good thing. He's a massive cheat, and has benefited massively from the leniency he was given.

[@BM-bc6jj]

GOAT

[@tyonamin]

MKRM27 Oh god please don't spread ignorance.

[@MultiFalkirk]

learn the rules boy Ritchie was and will always be the best your a muppet

[@geometron3646]

@3:00 demonstrating the crocodile roll which led to Jack Willis's torn knee. Should be covered by existing laws, not intentionally collapsing; and players must attempt to stay on their feet.

[@kylegenaro4780]

GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@DK-fq4jw]

Easy on the old fulla king Richie lol

[@Fonzleberry]

And how do you enter from the side of the ruck without the ref pinging you?

[@dannykettle2466]

Well you cant

[@IMBATMANANDIMCOOL]

Take this video down. We don't want others pinching our tactics.

[@billgauna9113]

Support Scottie with the All Blacks

[@shufflerrrrrr]

Wooohoooooo the best ever 2 world cups boiiiii

[@damo9961]

Back when rugby wasn't shit.

[@ieattrollsforbreakfast2973]

The G.O.A.T and that's coming from an Aussie. Either accept it or live the rest of your lives in that long ass river called denial 😅😅😅

[@cozmo989]

The guy broke his body every game. Every game he was bleeding and he just kept pumping. Blokes a legend.

[@Lokenimanu]

King of OFFSIDE..

[@jayuppercase3398]

The presenter is a tall dude

[@tyonamin]

Ian Jones, a former lock.

[@badabing8884]

Should the croc roll be outlawed? I say yes.

[@luchiboy]

I say no, nothing illegal and dangerous

[@Marvisification]

lol Is this Sky Sport's version of Rugby Tonight??? Good to see Richie explain the way he plays though

[@casperspies9671]

The offsides king

[@chasmcgregor001]

how can you call this guy a cheat? he just played hard and imposed his will on much faster, bigger and stronger players. if you cant respect that then you stupid. greatest captain ever! belee dat!

[@gregbearne2195]

Why is my sleep paralysis demon demonstrating rugby?

[@mitchelljack1590]

I would have Richie at 6 and George Smith at 7 in my all time 15

[@vonteflon]

Feels heretic to question Richie's breakdown expertise, but where he discusses Pocock around 3:20, wouldn't it be better to hook his right arm under Pocock/Wilson's left shoulder? As well as giving him more leverage to shift the bloke, it might force him to lose his grip on the ball...

[@tyonamin]

+The Triggered One Care to explain your statement? Since you seem like an expert.

[@dfmackenzie]

I think vonteflon explained it quite well, I was wondering the same thing.

[@tomjohnson1110]

I see what you're getting at. But if he does as you suggest pocock has his legs, stomach and shoulders to brace against being shifted. Remember pocock is leaning forward so mostof his weight is concentrated at his shoulders. Where as the way mccaw explains it pocock has only his leg strength to stop the clean out and half his weight to shift.

[@vikingbear1487]

I wish I saw this before I played flanker...I would of been a much better player.

[@aar1967]

Wow, Goldie is such a poser... is he looking at himself in the monitor the whole time? You look fantastic, Jeff, don't worry.

[@ay613]

What a vid lol

[@mthunziphakathi4215]

This is exactly how I used to fustrate the so-called big boys I played against. In my country however, its my about size rather than actual strength and how u apply your head in using it with skills. Funny thing Im about Richie's size yet here in the Republic Im far too small, Heinrich Brussouw was too small for Heyneke, Aplon was too small, Many a boy far more talented than the guys you see in Super rugby were too small, even though they were just as strong. South Africa has plenty of guys who play to the ball and could match Richie in that department, yet we have these gate keepers who like tall pine trees for some reason. G Smith, Pocock, Warburton, Brussouw, Savea, Dusatouir and Sir Richie are my fav open siders since the turn of the mellenuim. Richie was def the most infuriating to watch poaching against my teams.

[@MrNimtiz]

Why isn't he showing how to not go through the gate, playing off your feet and hands in the ruck? Show us the real black magic Richie

[@rebeccacooper1004]

These are a nightmare! Nearly impossible to get a hook through! An accident waiting to happen imo, hooks and baiting needles guaranteed in your fingers! Unfortunately I bought 2 packets as they look good, and I’ve always rated ESP products, but these are a waste of money! Come on ESP you are better than this!

[@umairgergasionline5469]

Weirdos wearing office attire and playing rugby.

[@vegasmaori6621]

Goldie is now baldy lol

[@aotearoa4eva924]

Goldie/Boldie 🤣

[@LukeLydonPhotography]

Lesson one,be offside all the time. Referee lets you away with it because you're Richie McCaw

[@jacobbursting6412]

If you ever played flanker you are always on the edge of rules it’s just the position it is

[@inBODwetrust13]

Why not be honest McCaw, it was a simple game for you. All you had to do was run round the side, ignoring the ruck entirely entire from the attacking team's side whilst diving off your feet, taking the ball and winning a "miraculous" turnover

[@sinisterkill9110]

inBODwetrust13 keep crying bro its not gonna help your tesms chances 😂

[@tomjohnson1110]

lol

[@malczsmith1637]

Diving off his feet?

[@jasminema]

Ian Jones makes McCaw look short (who is only 1cm shorter than my husband at 1.88m)

[@craigdinney5933]

U birds talk about him being a cheat or dirty...loooook at all the best players ever be it English or all blacks or South Africa...all the best players play on the edge and bend the rules...I played for Canada and in England...macaw..Matfield..Wilkinson all great and all dirty .

Don't ask richie. Accept if you want to learn how to cheat and get away with it

[@userman9301]

Richie the cheat

[@dlong2353]

And now the next situation Richie... The one where you bend and break every rule in the book and come up smelling of roses.
