Rokocoko was just in the wrong place at the wrong time . He was already off the ground when the second hit was made , so he couldn't of done anything about it .
Dayummmm! Both are awesome hits lol on two of the greatest wingers ever haha but to Habanas and Rokocokos credit they were both scheming and needed to be stopped otherwise there was going to be trouble for the defences😉 amazing players that I loved to watch...
i know they're giving credit to the bug number 16 for the hit, but how about the small scrum half for getting in under rokocoko after 7 other blokes just missed!
@zisssssou , Bollocks stop the video at 0:11 he has his arm around his waist and at 0:49 you can see clearly he had his arm wrapped around the halfback. If you cant see those go back to watching indoor bowls where it's a bit slower and you can keep up
In New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, United States, Canada, Pacific islands and parts of Asia it's called soccer... And the correct term is association football, soccer is an abbreviation of the word association so people don't get confused when other forms of football (rugby, American football) are more popular in their country than soccer.
@zest4lyfe Mils Muliaina moved here aged TWO, Sivivatu aged FOURTEEN, Toeava moved here before Sivivatu did, I don't know the exact age but he attended De La Salle College in Auckland, New Zealand. Kaino attended the same High School in Pakuranga, New Zealand that Joe Rock did.
Fucking ridiculous tackle on Roco no arms just a shoulder and threw him to the ground. He's got to be one of the strongest wingers in the game. Got threw 5 people before stopped. Eazy peazy
And I've got a bunch of words for you. . . Luis Suarez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel Di Maria, Nani, Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rivaldo, I can keep going all day. I rest my case with this one
@cpitney lol, but can Rocokoko do it when it really counts like in a world cup, I don't think so ~ Habana anyday. Habana is good in defence and attack, Rocokoko is good in attack & that's it!!
So first tackle is late, shoulder, no arms… “ThaT’S FinE.” Second tackle is on the ball carrier, not tipped, arms wrapped. Textbook. “YeLLoW CaRD” …I’ve found the kiwi!
@@wrightoff The tackle's fine, the hit by 16 after the tackle is ridiculous. With Habana I don't think the guy has any chance to avoid him; he's committed to the tackle when Habana kicks and then runs into him.
Terry Butcher? GTFOH he and other soccer "hard men" went up and down the country kicking guys smaller than them. Legal tackles in rugby involve putting your own body on the line. If you're gonna mention soccer toughs at least go for Billy Bremner or someone like him. he was tough enough to be a rugby player.
hahaha that's a beauty! i won't compare the two wings though, new zealand shape all their players to be dominant physically, our wings are just made to be good runners with the ball, though habana is one of our more physical wings in springbok history over the past two decades
Sheesh Joe Rocks is strong man! Love Bryan Habana coz hes never scared to run it straight for a little guy! Pity Springboks never give him the ball when hes playing international, he has to go looking for it lol.. Oh and Lets Go The ALL BLACKS!!
@ZEFOROUS Agree with most of what you say, but you're a sports fan and should know that form is temporary, but class is permanent!! Habana is half the player he was 2 years ago, but I reckon that we are starting to see him coming into a little form which all bodes well for the WC. Roko is not by any means the worst defender, but I prefer Habana in that department. NZ have at the moment an embaressment of riches in terms of wingers and speed demons, whats your choice for the WC?
@zest4lyfe Now what you fail to understand is that New Zealand has more Samoans than Samoa itself, Pacific Island families immigrate to New Zealand alot. WE are the ones who constantly get pillaged for our players, WE do more for pacific Island rugby than anyone else does, Cooper and Ioane grew up in New Zealand, both learnt the game in New Zealand. Ben Franks was born in Australia BUT he moved here very early on in life, as you can tell by his brother having been born in Motueka.
I'm not but I'm a rugby and NFL fan but it's mainly the rugby guys. Why? Most NFL fans don't even know or care what rugby is (remember that Americans are supposedly so insular and they know nothing about the outside world). Don't be offended by the truth. NFL fans truly have no reason to talk about rugby.
Oh you want to play the victim. It's the rugby guys who take the first shot. Always talking about the pads and pretty much calling the sport gay. Then the NFL guys get defensive but it's the rugby guys always talking shit about the NFL like they have nothing else better to do. For a sport that you say the fans don't care about. They love to talk about it. Most NFL fans who know rugby just ignore it. They don't care enough to care about it or they like it.
Im not playing the victim. But hey you go act perfect, NFL fans are perfect and never say a bad word right? You guys are perfect model humans while Rugby fans never have anything nice to say in your little bubble. Just because a few people on RU-vid talk shit about NFL doesn't mean every single Rugby fan ever talks shit about it. The same ratio of people on both sides talk shit about and NFL guys even do so without being provoked.
this video is all the justification you need as to why a southern hemisphere nation will win the world cup. toughness. pllllllllllease they are illegal hits. how about you northerns learn to man up and really play one of the only tough sports remaining on earth.
