The hectic training schedule that keeps All Black halfback Aaron Smith sharp | RugbyPass

Aaron Smith has matured in to such a complete player also a pretty decent bloke as well .

[@mahmudabdulwadud8515]

You can argue on other positions, but him is clearly the best on 9 all-time.

[@Patrick8804]

You should've seen Justin Marshall before he snapped his Achilles tendon in 1998. He was pretty good after that, but before that he was from another world.

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

Fourie Du Preez😉 Even Aaron Smith has called him the greatest scrum-half.

[@hemitulemau]

⁠@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9nsit’s just called being humble. Rugby players don’t (they do but won’t say openly) that they care about being the best ever. They want to be the best for the team they play for. I’m Fourie would’ve said another 9 if he was asked the same question.

[@katherineripia3738]

He is consistent. And he got a starter position pretty quickly in the All Blacks. He’s helped them with every win. He is gonna live on to be a legend of Rugby Union in this era

[@RNStudio7704]

Lots of respect ! from your South African brothers.

[@Benboy1980]

I used to loathe the kiwis and All blacks when I was much younger, I somehow thought they were arrogant and up themselves. But as the years went by and I had more access and the internet allowed me to connect with players and Southern Hemisphere clubs I began to understand it was humility and work ethic rooted in the culture of NZ. For a country with a small population they produce so many amazing players. Always enjoy watching these videos and have enjoyed watching Aaron grow and TJ as well. I almost prefer the super rugby season to our premiership now 😅😂

@@garyambrosini1427 He's better than Gregan mate, But it's totally Disrespectful to leave of Fourie Du Preez. i believe he's the greatest, greatest tactical kicking 9, Highest workrate for a 9, Incredible Sniping, Safe in the Aerial, Great mental Awareness, extremely decisive. I'd Dissect my list, 1. Fourie, 2. JDW, 3. A. Smith, 4. Gregan, 5. Edwards (To fill of extra space, i can't rate Edwards because he's extremely past my time, he's reguarded to some as one of the "greats" But there's not enough game footage for me to Analyse. Smith will comfortably jump over JDW the more he Progresses, JDW was the greatest Sniper, Skillful 9, Perfect Tackling technique, Pretty much a winger playing 9. But Smith will pass him, we hadn't seen such a player with a Wicked yet accurate pass, One of the greatest Decision making 9's, One of the greatest play making 9's, Incredible Box Kicking, Great in support, one of the greatest workrates behind Du Preez and Weepu. Smith will be near Du Preez at the end of his career. Similar with Graham Price, some consider him the greatest Tighthead, Can't Analyse his true Abilities so i'd give it to Olo Brown.

[@xoladinhoaltice9122]

After watching this impressive hardwork and effort from him makes me understand how he passes thee most flat balls to he's teamates which 9/10 times results in linebreaks and going over the advantage line and the weird part is that I just realised it from the highlights from the Trans Tasman games he is definitely the best scrum half in the world. RESPECT

[@michaelhamandishe7665]

Not only the best But most consistent halfback in the history of Rugby

[@captainhindsight8906]

So, you've never heard about Fourie Du Preez ?

[@lateralus6512]

I consider half back one of the most influential positions on the rugby field and this position is ideal for a captaincy role because they are the link between the forwards and the backs. I notice this most with Brad Weber, Aron Smith and TJ Perenara. They are natural team leaders, whether they are given the official title or not.

Sounds like he’s getting the yips in his old age. Must be feeling the pressure from the fast, fit and feisty youngsters coming through. Happens. McCaw was great at keeping Braid, Holah, Blackie and Masoe at bay but he had a few quiet years at the end there, when Todd, Cane and Savea were nipping at his heels. Tired bones, tripping through remember when. Once invincible but now his armor has worn thin.
