10 Minutes of Virimi Vakatawa being UNSTOPPABLE at rugby 

How many walk-in tries has he made for Teddy Thomas? He is a winger’s dream, attracts two men then slips the pass.

He was possibly the best center in world rugby around 2020, the guy had it all, the speed, the steps, the fends, the offloads, the defense and the power. He was both a formidable crash ball option and an extraordinary elusive runner. Rarely have players managed to be so successful in both XV and 7s, Virimi has, even when he was playing both at the same time (in 2016). The one thing he has really trademarked in international rugby is his capacity to win 2v2 by wrapping around both defenders and delivering miraculous backhand offloads to his winger. It's a magic trick he perfected playing 7s but that worked wonders in XV, gifting tries in golden wrapping paper to his teammates in racing and France. Wish you all the best Virimi in your new life, and I'm sure you'll continue to be an awesome entertainer and a good lad outside the pitch too.

What a fucking legend for our country ! One of our best center ever ! Merci Virimi 🇫🇷❤️

Met him in a training session for the barbarians against England this year, he was so nice to me and my little brother. One of the only players to actually engage with the mascots who went to ‘train with them’. While all the other French players were completely dismissive him, kruise, Skelton and Botia were all lovely. Class player and great guy.

Absolutely outrageous player, such a shame we didn't see the Fickou/Vakatawa partnership more because I think it's the best pairing since Nonu/Smith

So sad at his diagnosis - player's health comes first however. Was a pleasure watching you Virimi

Incredibly well-balanced runner, amazing vision and skills to match, one of the very few to be world class in both 7s and 15s. Truly one of a kind. Thanks Andrew!

Thank you Andrew for your tributes to Vakatawa. I hope he will continue his life in rugby and will train young players to have same culture and passion than his for this sport.

Was impatiently waiting for this, knowing you would smash it ! What a player... I still remember his amazing QF 2019 RWC performance against Wales, where he DOMINATED, deserved better.

3:39 taken from his very last game for France

best number 13 of the last 4-5 years we will miss you

Any nation in world rugby would kill to have a player like him.

Man's a natural. He made everything look so easy, and he looked so hard to stop. Exciting player if I have ever seen one

Great video once again! Saw him live a few times and the technical abbility he has was insane. Great player and sad to see him end the carreer so soon.

Dude, you’re always the first to make the best videos at the right time. Congrats man 👏🏻👏🏻

I saw his first match at Colombes (old R92 stadium), at the time he was only running and had a lack of skills, but he was so faaaaaaast!! He had everything to be one on the best center in the past years. Thinking that it ends only for "prevention" makes me sick (even if it's right). As a R92 fan I saw him many times. He is such a nice man, always smilling and true. Always at 100% on the field. I'll miss him a lot, so will French/R92 squads... Wish him the best! Edit: thanks for your vids man (and this one, at the right time) +thumb +subscribe

A prince both at VII and XV. He made me dream when he played for Racing 92 and France. Best wishes to Virimi.

France will really miss him.

Vakatawa is Just Built Different! #FijianMuscle💪🏿🏝️🇫🇯🇨🇵

As a Munster fan, I have always loathed Virimi Vakatawa cause he was always such a thorn in the side of my team, whether that be for Racing 92 or France. I got nervous every time the ball got into his hands. I mean wowey, truly what a player! If only he had played in my team😏

I couldn't believe when I read he had to stop his career. The worst thing is Vakatawa sadly never won a trophy, this is so unfortunate.

Such a great player I remember watching him playing sevens and thinking this man is a star

thank you Virimi Vakatawa.......and Andrew Forde!!

No wonder you could really see his performance not the same when he started in top 14. He was always a threat for the France 7s team and made a big impact in 15s.

Sad to see him go awesome player

What can one say? Another one off the Flying Fijian production line!

Merci !!! 🤩🫡🇫🇷👍💪🤘

very good video :)

What a player

Welcome back mana. ᕦ⁠(⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ᕤ

😂I met this legend today

Quel dieu ! Courage Virimi.

My favorite player. What a shame he's forced to retire.

Absolutely amazing player. Such a shame to hear about his retirement and really hope he is looked after to move smoothly into his next stage of life

Gutted We will not see him wearing thé blue Jersey again. ☹️☹️☹️☹️

He was basically the current lukhayno am except for his entire career.

He is like sbw

Had money on France winning world Cup with him. Devastated

Up the BEARS!!

Allez Les Bleus 🤔

First

Does he reply???

seems very dodgy the chain of events behind this...
