American Reacts to Kurt Lee Arendse Highlights (SPEED DEMON!) 

hahaha I love that! It definitely counts for something 🐂💙

Thanks so much Pierre! I appreciate you! That really means a lot ❤️🙌🏽 I'm doing my best to learn Afrikaans and Dutch pronunciations

So far ur pronounced them all right. Why i like the channel. We can see your putting effort into your vids and making sure to learn how to say the names and not just saying them how people think it sounds.

Yes Damian is on my list for sure. I appreciate you and the recommendation Menelik

​@@QSNgg Damian plays for the Stormers, which is a local provincial rugby club. He represents the country with the Springboks, our national side. Just as I wanted to write anything further you mentioned the rivalry between the Stormers & the Bulls 🙄🤣. You know your stuff. I'm a Stormer, because I'm from the Western Cape, our Stormers hail from Cape Town in the western province. You should react to Manie Libbok as well.

@@QSNggwhen are we getting this one 😬

Yeah that's a talented family!

I'm going to take a deeper look for sure. I have so many athletes to check out and catch up on. I love seeing them play and their amazing skills

Yes I've heard a lot about Gio Aplon! I will check him out ❤️

@@QSNgg thank you!! Don't rush tho, you have a long list of players that fans request you to check out. Take your time!!

Thanks so much Louis I really appreciate you and the kind words. It means a lot 🙌🏽 I'm absolutely loving rugby ❤️

Thanks so much Luke! I appreciate you always. Your kind words mean a lot 🙌🏽

Thanks so much Dylan! I appreciate you bro! 🙌🏽❤️

Vrystaaaaaat!

haha thanks for making it easy for me Morne 🤣

You're welcome Gnarly! I appreciate you!

@@QSNgg Thanks Jeff, Gio Aplon was Cheslin's hero and insperation growing up, they ended up both play for the stormers at the end of Aplon's career. Def a must watch he is the orignal scrumcap brigade putting giants to shame with them dancing feet. Like Cheslin he was also told he is to small to play for the springboks and that kept him out of the springboks for most of his career, Only got a couple caps at the end and he should have been as big as Cheslin today. He was also my hero growing up.

The only hightlight reel you need ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fR3st6A6Yrw.html&ab_channel=RealRugby

​@@gnarly3256 oh yes, Gio Aplon, was the one that started it all for us coloured laaities.

I have all the love and respect for South Africa 🇿🇦❤️

That nickname is awesome!! Thanks for letting me know that Rudolph

Coreeection 1st came Brayton Paulse then Gio Etc

You all have so many incredible athletes it's hard to keep up with. I'll get dialed in all these athletes. I'm keeping an eye on Edwill for sure. He's amazing! The future is bright

​Well if you wanna be techinal then it's Chester Williams before anyone, he walked so others could fly

​@@gnarly3256 indeed Breytie 1st then Gio Aplon, but Aplon's style are more evident in our smaller coloured laaities, our speed are deceptive, mine included.

​@@IsanG08 nah if you wanna be technical then it's not Chester either but Errol Tobias. However, Breyton & Ashwin brought the flair and Gio Aplon made it more graceful.

There’s also Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux. Sorry, the Boks just have so many brilliant players!

Thanks so much Mads I appreciate you! I'll definitely check out Makazole Mapimpi. Thanks for the suggestion 🙌🏽

The Boks do have so many incredible athletes! I have Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux on my list 💯

Exactly what I said!! Makazole Mapimpi is great!! And Rassie's emotional reaction to him

Massive love Jonathan! I appreciate you boss and hope you have a great morning 🙌🏽 KLA is incredible!

I'm going to check out Canaan Moodie! He's awesome! Kolbe's family is incredibly talented

Thanks so much Thabo! I appreciate you! That means a lot 🙌🏽

Much love boss I appreciate you always! Thanks for letting me know about the unders and dummy runners. That helps me learn so much more about the game and how the set pieces unfold. All love always! You're the real MVP 💯❤️ 🇫🇯🇫🇯

@@QSNgg because of you’re amazing content that’s why we’re here to support u brother. Much love🙏🙌🏽💯💯

Massive love my brother! That means a lot! We're in this together always 🙏🙌🏽💯💯

That's awesome he's from your hometown TG! So cool to see that. Very inspiring for sure 🙌🏽

​@@QSNgg You said you liked that "step." It's a coloured style of play, started by Gio Aplon. Cheslin Kolbe's hero, he inspired us coloured boys, you've seen it in Cheslin's way of playing and now in Kurt-lee's. When you react to Damian Willemse & Manie Libbok, you'll see it as well. That's how we play. Gio Aplon should've been just as big as Bryan Habana but yeah SARU couldn't comprehend his style of playing. It was too hot to handle. Another South African legend is Breyton Paulse, was faster than Bryan Habana.

Yes Grant Williams is insane! I have to watch more of his highlights for sure! I appreciate you Dewald 🙌🏽

Much love John! I appreciate you boss. That really means a lot 🙌🏽 I'm looking forward to chatting with you more!

@@QSNgg yeah, the conversation will develop. You have a great channel. Best wishes from Springbok country. Looking forward to more of your input.👍

@@QSNgg Keep up the great commentary. You truly have an intuitive understanding of this game. Much love back to you, bro.👍

Much love Coop! I appreciate you!

Much love Lorenzo! I appreciate you!

Thanks for letting me know that Matthew! I'm going to do my research on all the teams and pick team to support. I have a lot of work to do 🤣

Pasrl is a top wine producing area of the WESTERN CAPE this province western cape is one of the top wine producing areas in the world.

​@@QSNgg you'll settle with the Stormers, because all of the wings of today for the Springboks hail from the Western Cape

As an old fart who remembers the 80s, only the Stormers aka Western Province have won the Curry Cup 5 times in a row.

​​@@tonic8945and the bulls won it 9 times out of 13 and had 2 draws. Just before that.

That's flying!!! I'm going to check out Tonderai Chavhanga. I appreciate you Russell!

Massive love Ramon I appreciate you and all of your support always! I'm going do more research on my South African club teams and find my favorite for sure 🤣 Love you bro!

I will check out Ange Cappuzo!! He was so fun to watch this year in 6N. Thanks for recommending him Tobias! I appreciate you!

SHARKS born and raised for me. haha

@@RJH1611 ja boet good team but a few of your legends are free staters we ain't got the money like you oukes and western province and the bulls.

@@user-kj8lq7mo2s ya we def seemed to have taken a lot of their players over the years.

I'll check out the Cheetahs! That's so awesome your son was born in Virginia. Thanks for the background and history on that. I love knowing those stories

I'll have to check out the Sharks! I'm still learning club and URC

Thanks so much Adam! I appreciate you boss! I hope you have an incredible weekend 🙌🏽

Gio is on the list 100%! He's been on my list for a few now and I'll get that video done

Thanks for letting me know that Matt!

Thanks for letting me know that! Fiji has so many incredible players

Much love I appreciate you! 🙌🏽

Yes Christian Cullen is on my list! I'm going to check him out 100%

Yes I need to check out Grant Williams for sure. I've only seen a few of his highlights and he's super fast and shifty

are you kidding!!

I really appreciate you Jenna! I do my best to learn and show my respect ❤️🙌🏽

Yeah running against speed demons like that none of us have a chance 🤣 It really is a shame that the 90s were like that

​@@QSNgg yeah, in South Africa there's white, black and us coloureds. Cheslin Kolbe, Kurt-lee Arendse, Canan Moodie, Grant Williams, Damian Willemse, Manie Libbok, we are coloureds and Errol Tobias was the first nonwhite Springbok, followed by Chester Williams, Ashwin Willemse and Breyton Paulse made many see what we got to offer for SA Rugby. Bryan Habana, Gio Aplon came around and let's just say the rest is history. Springboks utilize us for their wing positions.

I have all the love and respect for South Africa 🇿🇦❤️

Thanks so much Salayi! I appreciate you!

Gio is on the list 100%

Thanks so much for the recommendation on rocky Elsom or Sean O'brien. I appreciate you Philip!

Thanks for letting me konw that. I love those kits they had. It's hard to see them in anything but green

I agree Anna! KLA is incredible!

I've heard the Bulls are hard nosed and physical! I'm going to watch more club and learning the teams

Thanks so much for letting me know the history of the province and the cities in South Africa. I love learning this. I appreciate you!

I'll check out more Malcolm Marx in depth! Thanks for the recommendation

That's what I've been hearing Greg. I've heard the Bulls are tough, gritty, and aggressive. Thanks for the fun fact on that as well. That's impressive to never lose a friendly game. I'm excited to learn more about the Bulls and the URC as a whole

Bulls only managed 3 Super Rugby titles … whereas Crusaders made 12. Not huge accomplishments to boast about

​@@HeeniKeke he meant amongst the South African clubs. I'm a Stormer.

Exactly poaching our talent from the Western Cape.

I have the game on my laptop

I will check that out thank you!

I saw it on Chasing the Sun and the impact it had, but will watch the full match

I appreciate you Nicholas! I'll for sure check out the Beast!

Here is my Bryan Habana video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O1bWiv3yGnY.html I appreciate you Henri 🙌🏽

Yeah he would've been so hard to stop in 7s!

I agree! I just finished the first season of Chasing the Sun and love South Africa defensive strategies

I appreciate you Yazeed! Thanks so much for pointing out the Try as well. I was wondering how that all worked out and how it was awarded Thanks so much for teaching me that. Incredibly helpful!

I have Pierre on the list. He's been there for a while but I'm moving him up the priority list. I've heard he's exceptional

​@@QSNgg yeah before Dwayne Vermeulen there were Pierre Spies, check out Pedro Wannenburg, if you can find anything on him, he played Eight man and flanker, could easily play Second Row as well if they placed him there. Pieter-Steph du Toit reminds me of him.

I'll learn more about the SA club teams and decide for sure! I'm excited to get more into URC

@@QSNgg for sure mate. Glad you are enjoying the rugby. Stormers used to be known for their defense in the years of Jean De Viliers and Jaques Fourie (springbok center pair that played for us at the time with habana coming in at the wing) but with the current coach and players we are playing some beautiful attacking rugby ❤️🔥

@@QSNgg I fell down 3 stories when I was 18 and broke all the bones in my right foot (right is my strong side) and wrist and cracked right elbow and right part of forehead. Dr said I won’t ever run fast again or play a sport like rugby. Two years later I started rugby fitness (after playing some tag rugby slowly getting back). After 3 years I got back into contact for my local team and played there a few years and now I’m in Asia, been playing social rugby for 3 years here (you can see my videos on my channel)

Christian Wade is awesome! I saw him when he was on the Bills in the NFL. I still have to check out Carlin Isles as well. Really speedsters like you said

I am for sure! I just finished part 1 and will start Chasing the Sun 2 tomorrow. I'm excited to review every episode 🙌🏽

Thanks for letting me know. Those kits are cool ❤️

Thanks for letting me know that was Ireland

I'll have to check out the Stormers for sure! I'm going to get more dialed into club and choose a team 🙌🏽

Thanks so much for sending me the link to Rupeni Caucaunibuca! I''m going to check him out as well as Christian Cullen. I appreciate you EJ 🙌🏽

@QSNgg thanks for the reply I appreciate! 🙂. The video I sent probably has the best video quality of Rupeni. You'll be amazed at both these guys who lit up Rugby in the mid 90s to early 2000s. Rupeni was considered to be even more harder to defend than the GOAT Lomu on his day.

I will watch that for sure! I appreciate you Mark

I appreciate you Sonja!! That's awesome you have a team!

hahhah I missed the linesman 🤣

Greased lightning is the perfect description! Taking big hits like that is rough long term for sure

I agree 100%

Yes Mapimpi is on my list. Just finished Chasing the Sun part 1 and his story is inspiring

Yeah Boobie Miles! He played for Permian in TX. Incredible running back!

hahah I'm adding Sharks on my teams! 🦈 I'm going to have to learn club and URC. When I pick a team I'll let you know 🙌🏽

100% checking out Beauden Barrett! I appreciate you EM 🙌🏽

I will for sure!

That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know that. Such an incredible name. He soars like an eagle 🦅

​@@QSNgg lol, I'm glad you know now, but he is nicknamed "The Butcher" coz he worked at a butchery before he was discovered, but he should actually be the "🦅 Eagle 🦅" as he is an Arend lol

I'll check out Damian Markus for sure. Thanks for the recommendation!

Bulls are tough! I love their physicality!

Thanks so much Waldo! I appreciate you! I'm checking out Pierre Spies for sure

I appreciate you! I'll definitely make a Manie Libbok video

I'll check out jc mars for sure. Thanks for the recommendation Marius 🙌🏽

Hey Sheldon! Both sports feature incredibly skilled and athletic players, but there are certainly some key differences worth highlighting. Rugby players like those on the Springboks squad tend to be extremely well-rounded athletes. They need a combination of strength, speed, endurance, and agility to excel in the non-stop, free-flowing nature of rugby. Players like Cheslin Kolbe and Kurt-Lee Arendse epitomize this with their ability to beat defenders with pace and footwork while also being physical enough to make big tackles on defense. American football players, while also supremely athletic, tend to be more specialized based on their position. For example, offensive and defensive linemen prioritize massive size and strength over speed and agility. Receivers and defensive backs need elite speed and agility. The stop-start nature of plays in American football allows for this specialization. That said, I could see an elite rugby back like Kolbe or Arendse translating well to a skill position like running back or receiver in the NFL. Their combination of quickness, agility, vision and physicality is perfect for making defenders miss in open space. Players like them show the incredible all-around athleticism required for rugby. The main differences would be the more structured play-calling and pre-snap motion of American football compared to rugby's continuous action. But I have no doubt South Africa's top rugby talent would find success in the NFL if given the opportunity to focus specifically on a position that maximizes their athletic strengths. Kolbe and Arendse will more than likely have to put on more weight to protect themselves from the physicality of the game of football as well. The hits come from every angle which differs from rugby and is more explosive in nature do to the short-burst style of football. No matter the sport, elite athletes like those on the Springboks are masters of body control, speed, power and competitive drive. While the games have distinct nuances, the highest level of athletic excellence translates incredibly well across football codes. I hope that makes sense. Let me know your thoughts and if you have any other questions. I'd be more than happy to talk more with you

@@QSNgg Thanks mate. I don't really understand NFL bar touchdowns and "ready set" being shouted. So no idea how tye rules work. That said there's clearly great skills in the game. Not sure if you know Naas Botha. He was one of the Springbok greats in the 80's. He left RSA and did a stint in NFL. He was a specialist kicker so guess that's why was there. Anyway, thanks for the info and viewpoint. I will have to educate myself about NFL a bit more.

The Blue Bulls are incredible! I'll have to pick a team 🙌🏽

I love that! Such a powerful name

I'll get more dialed into URC and club rugby in SA for sure and pick a team 🙌🏽 I love the physicality of the Bulls

Yes, Will Jordan video is coming out soon 🙌🏽❤️

"Die rooi Libbok ram spring oor drie rolle doringdraad!" Say it 3 times fast.

I appreciate you! I'll definitely make a Manie Libbok video

​@@rudolphvanrooyen2655 ek sê dan eerder "die drie drolle draad"😂

I loved Chasing the Sun 1 and 2. Here is my review of Season 1 episode 1 of Chasing the Sun: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QYaK-y4Eqlk.html

I will check out the Sharks for sure Gurk! Thanks for letting me know about them. I'm excited to learn more club and URC

KLA is incredible

Luk is definitely on the list 🙌🏽

I appreciate you! I'll definitely make a Manie Libbok and Bundee Aki video

​@@QSNgg please Manie Libbok from the Stormers!!

hahah I've been seeing a lot of Cheetah recommendations. My picks are narrowed down now 🤣🤣 I appreciate you always JJ! I hope you have an incredible weekend

Beauden Barrett is on my watch list for sure!

Stormers are awesome!!

They're touch and physical!

Maybe a few guys could convert with a lot of time and training. I think it would take NFL players a lot of time to play rugby as well, because our sports are built for different play styles in terms of long endurance vs short sprint/explosiveness

I'll check out the Stormer some more! I have to pick a team 🙌🏽

I'll take a look at Jacob stocktale for sure. Thanks for the recommendation 🙌🏽

Yes I have to make a Rosko video for sure

I will for sure Juan!
