Amazing to see how many tackles was still head on with no red cards. I am glad to see the game has changed to make it safer for players

[@davewilson9738]

See, a good tackle is so much better than a cheap hit! Nice compilation and number 1 was the perfect choice.

[@7RainBow-zn4yk]

Wow, this compilation of the Top 50 Biggest Rugby Hits is an absolute bone-crunching spectacle! Rugby at its most brutal!

[@shigoXIII]

Always satisfying to see a few good hard hits again, also i feel sorry for some of these oakes XD always a banger to check some rugby !

[@elzurdorodriguez6650]

i was desperate for no seeing Brian "the chiropractor" Lima until nº3

[@willyjohnson444]

That should’ve been no.1

[@Wolf-hh4rv]

Zinzan- blues hitting Jason Mads-NSW . Addition needed. Henry Honiball a treasure trove of big hits

[@RyanMalik-tb3zc]

Great selection Sir,you just got a new sub. RIP Jonah Lomu & Jerry Collins 2 NZ Legends

[@robertcottam8824]

“Jerry Collins of Barnstaple and New Zealand.” When that wonderful, wonderful rugby-man turned out for the Barbarians wearing the socks of Barnstaple RFC; fifth tier of the RFU; second team…. Just because he fancied a game. You’ll know the story but in case you don’t, Google it. Jerry made a lot of new friends that day. Thinking about it now, I’m smiling but I’m very sad at the same time. Best wishes.

[@marconel]

Bismarck Du Plessis on Dan Carter!? Come on. It was so good they needed to get Bismarck off the field out of fear for the NZL team.

0:29 reminds me of the time i flattened a 10... So my local team wasn't the best, we would win here and there... We ended up playing against one of the best rugby schools in Scotland, during our game they just kept passing to the 10 and he'd score almost every time... So I'm a tighthead... And as soon as that wee 9 grabbed the ball from the ruck i ran full speed at the 10 and the instant the ball touched his hands he was on the fuckin ground and the ball was rolling, i get up, grab the ball, make about 20 meters before 2 or 3 of them took me down, offload to my flanker, don't know what happened after that but by the time i got to my feet we we're at their 5 meter line and we scored. Our only try that game and the last time their 10 ran with the ball that game.

[@RyanMalik-tb3zc]

Fukin Legend! im a halfback-first five from NZ & pictured all of that. Nice brother! Ive only had a few but this little fuk from Otago boys was opposite 1 day at the oval & id been looking to get him because he was sharp. tight game anyway & late in the game they get a penalty & silly bolllocks taps it quick looking to get a late win? He never looked my way just at his far side winger unmarked,running across field like hes about to,then when he winds his pass up i crushed him in the ribs & he spilled the ball! While gasping for air! I put the ball in the insuing scrum & kicked the c#*t out! Win to Kings,Up The Lions!

[@neilphipp6905]

Chabal on Masoe? Lewsey on Rogers? Both worthy of a top ten spot?

[@SoCalDreaming87]

Lima's tackle on Hougaard was a car crash. Number 1 for me!

[@pokinacha]

Rene Ranger on Nick White? That one always makes me smile

[@John-wv5nj]

My favorite part of the game..the big hit...its why i love this game

[@django4427]

Half of these are Samoans lol.

[@mac5917]

And more than half of those are the Tuilagis😂💪🏼

Nowadays half of the tackles in this video would deserve a red card!

[@NateMackellar]

Yeah what

[@AA-hg5fk]

Rightly so, some were dangerously high

[@MrSupermugen]

@@AA-hg5fk alot actually was the whip lash...

[@leobonobo129]

A few of them should yes, ans thats not a bad thing, but most of those in this video are regular

[@aidanhughes3458]

Disagree. some were dangerous for high tackle/ tackle to the head but most were just legal and brutal

[@Irelandboy23]

Toulangi against L armours is a red it’s clear shoulder to head contact

[@cristini06]

And when Chabal destroyed Masoe

[@jamescameron3406]

0:19 - Definition of a hospital pass.

[@jabbawakka7286]

Was expecting to see Jonah Lomu steamrolling the English backline.....great shots though

[@georgeposkitt9134]

Good quality video

Basically a compilation of the Tuilagi brothers 😂

[@HiltonMuller]

Where is Faf's hit on Enland's number 8 and Bismarck's hit on Dan Cartwr?

[@upperrank3132]

4:23 no way that commentator has a fully operational brain

[@fransoosthuizen2151]

best tackle ever is not on here- perhaps a tad biased- Joggie Jansens tackle on Cottrel- solid regulation tackle

[@felicityanne979]

Courtney lawes is the king of origami... that man can fold anything.

[@AA-hg5fk]

haha yeah Lawes' completely legal tackling annoyed the French players so much that they were protesting to the ref!

[@paulmckenna9873]

Massive hits. Lewsey the best of all time

[@5purplecups]

When I played high school football I caught a punt thinking I was going to mix the first guy. NO! Big mistake I should have made a fair catch call 😂 he basically did a crack back hit on me I had to sit out 2quarters lol

[@Officixl_Bonza]

Thanks!

[@RugbyManual]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Based_Celt64]

I watch this every time I have a match😭

[@killcodexd360]

People say “rugby is worse then football” there about the same because football has bigger hits but more protection, and rugby has more rules

[@jacquesdisles9833]

Yeah, that's because you guys hit them with helmets and pads, us in rugby we hit them with our bare body.

[@DamnNative1976]

The Chiropractor making house calls lol

[@jeremymerrifield7244]

Never seen Ashston tackle anyone before

[@chrisswanepoel995]

Duan Vermeulen on James Slipper 🚜

[@faustinot9313]

Damn tuilagis have 7 on here😮

[@stubones]

Most of these are players being blind sided so of course the hit looks dominant. Still makes for great viewing...

[@Fuzcapp]

Watch out for Mortlock ...

[@willyjohnson444]

Brian Lima had to be no.1

[@MichaelK5468]

Yall playing with no pads and helmet? No way! We gonna stay with American football.

[@peteford4388]

Ya know what they say, "No helmets, no pads, just balls"

[@mandem3262]

Daily reminder of why I don’t play rugby

[@juanbarnard5262]

bakkies botha vs shane williams?

[@Wez198]

As kids when you start playing rugby you get taught go waist height and cheek to cheek. I don't understand why some players (the ones that gets handed off like ragdolls that try the hugging technique) not go waist height?

[@giantschnauzer4875]

Owen farrel every tackle

[@MrSupermugen]

the problem will always be "danger to the tackler" when tackling like we were taught as kids

[@kakpraat18]

And now you know why they changed the tackling rules. No arms involved.

[@hennieleach5818]

Butch James on Mortlock?

[@GT_Robot353]

All i hear is toulangi lol

[@merlin5420]

8:38. Poor lil Johnny the supposed biggest hitter in English rugby 😂😂😂

I believe that was Opeti Fonua who weighed in at 150kg at the time.. 😅

Interesting that over half of these hits would not be allowed in 2023 and would result in yellow or red.

Why did you not show the punishments for the high tackles, the shoulders in the head, the pick-up-and-dump illegals?

[@alfiemills8873]

Back in the day where players were aloud to tackle

[@bofadestheosphilus7192]

A loud what?

[@tainedry2286]

majority of these tackles would still be considered entirely legal today

ah yeah, the good old days where men were men, and they just carried on playing after getting concussed, eventually leading to early onset dementia. Those were real men, thank God they were aloud to tackle
