The BEST Tackler?! | Pieter-Steph du Toit's HUGE Rugby Hits!

[@Matty_03]

As a rugby fan, I loved watching this guy in the world cup. But as an All Black fan I hated watching this guy in the world cup 😂

[@jerrybuirski2344]

@@JaemanEdwards Your team loooost!

[@maxcfalcao]

After Jerome Kaino retired from international rugby PSDT completely filled the role of the model blindside flanker. The lungs of a marathon runner who's constantly tackling and hitting rucks. A BF doesn't even need the "highlight ultradominant tackles", it just needs to bring the man down the most efficient way possible and most frequently possible, and PSDT is the best there is in this role

[@JaemanEdwards]

Pieter Steph is poor at the basic loose forward skill of turning over possession. He also can't run or pass to save himself. Definitely no model loose forward. A model defender is all he is. You Saffas need to slow your roll on the hyperbole.

@@JaemanEdwards I'm not a Saffa neither do I support the Boks. I like France and Italy and Argentina in the RC. I don't think the BF's role should be turnovers all the time, that is more OF. What I look in a BF is hitting rucks effectively and constant tackles

Pieter Steph Du Toit can cause an earthquake by simply walking

[@1unsung971]

Tackling as we were taught in school. Why doesn't everybody do this? It works!!!

[@primachpepe8597]

i genuinely think he is one of the best in the world. There cannot be a definitive best player for the sport, as you cannot compare a wing to a prop, Kolbe to Nche however, the evergreen giant would be my candidate. its not always about the tries. Its not always about the flashy moves. its the work rate, the consistency. He embodies the farmer from whence he comes. quiet, powerful and incredibly hard working. When he spoke during that half time during the world cup, he showed the fire in him . We all knew it was there, he just never lets it out

[@burtonaka-drizz8028]

Rugby is not about how hard you hits but rather how you get up and keep going big hits don't affect good players

[@justsiss]

not quite, if you hit someone hard enough legally it can take them out of play or even cause a knock on which in this case would be massive for the springboks

Pour moi,Underhill a un meilleur plaquage que Dutoit, 1 parce que le geste est plus pur , 2 parce qu’il joue plus dans les règles. Combien de fois Du toit est hors limites, avec la complicité des arbitres, comme beaucoup de Sudaf !!!

[@Ding_Bat]

His technique is somewhat awkward at times, and there is some inconsistency. When he commits with his shoulder, he's brutal, but the upright tackles are a bit iffy. His work rate and ability to disrupt play is phenomenal, though.

[@michaeldeancoetzee9993]

Mate. He's a skyscraper. It's incredible that he can get low to tackle in the first place

[@christopherburke2082]

They're very rarely iffy. His technique is incredible and it's clear from the number of tackles he makes and the very few cards he's gotten.
