Highlights of Rupeni Caucau's try scoring spree in the T14 French Rugby Competition for Agen...after which he was named France Player of the Year and Top try Scorer
if caucau was actually bothered and tried to go to a gym every so often hed easily be the greatest player ever, but still even without hes up there with the best but hard to say he is thee best
yu know all rugby fans who love wingers i put the challenge do you think the habanas williams and so on can do wat this guy does at his weight i mean that intercept try he burnt a guy who looks les thn half his size i mean honestly theres gotta be no doubt hes the best
i remember seeing him as a 19year old for the blues.. al he wanted o do was play for the all blacks but had already represented fiji in 7's... the most balanced runner of all time... pity he is so inclinded to go awol!! the worlds greatest runner by far!
Best balanced player you will ever see. Low centre of gravity and destructive speed that can be very deceptive for defending players who are left grabbing air because Rupeni has left the stadium!!
If he'd chosen the ABs over Fiji, he's easily be the greatest winger ever. His work ethic would have matched his talent. Incredible at his peak, which would have lasted far longer. Fiji was happy to have him, and let him play fat.
i thnk one doesnt realise the size of his strides...and how little effort he puts in them...its why he looks so alien when he runs:)..and 1:11 is the best pass iv ever seen:)
Caucau is far better than Lomu. Every coach out there knows that. Lomu is a one dimensional player whereas Caucau has multiple level of skills as a ball runner, passer of the ball, can turn defence into attack, etc. In fact, Caucau is the complete winger. Whoever said below that Caucau is not better than Lomu does not know rugby or is merely bias. Its as simple as that. To compare these two players, look at the quality of tries during their careers. Caucau still tops.
Caucau is sheer grace, poetry in motion and the most gifted and balanced runner ever, so YES, he ( and many other blokes at test rugby level can claim to have better skills than Lomu)....BUT, simple fact is : THERE IS ONLY ONE JONAH LOMU....PLEASE GET THAT RIGHT. Here is the deal with Lomu: 1) At 19, 20 He changed Rugby...singlehandedly... 2) He was biggest Allblack in 1995 team, bigger than most locks (119kg) 3) He was possibly the fastest Allblack between 1994-1996 ( 10.8sec for 100m) 2) In full flight, he was virtually impossible to stop in a one-on-one tackle 4) Often, it took 3 or 4 players to bring him to a halt ( creating space for his team)
caucau is a level above lomu. Hes quicker, just as powerful but what makes him stand out are his ball skills and awareness which outclass lomu completely.
Fuck off. The fat Black bombzo. Ain't no where close to LOMU. He would run over him. Around him. Fart on him. lol. More Disciplined. World famous. And he was sick health wise. Imagine he would of been the ultimate rugby player if not for his sickness
such a shame that he had to leave NZ rugby when he did. he truly was a t the peak of his powers then. he is good here, but is out of shape which I suppose a testiment to the athlete he was to still perform so well. dang he could have been an international great
American football style throw. Awesome play followed by superb kick and catch. I live in England and do try to get excited about their rugby but that kinda thing just doesn't happen here.
@@lionelmessi-ro1xf Lomu is a legend and set new standards for size and strength of wingers, however when there's any new winger carving up I always use Caucau as my benchmark. There's been plenty of powerhouse wingers since Lomu, but I've not seen any winger who compares with Caucau
FRU has given him another crack at playing for the home team at the Pacific Nations cup..in the training squad but thats a start...hopefully we'll get to see him again this year playing international test matches
I think its fair to say that lomu was the greater player becasue he applied himself however caucau easily could have been the greatest winger ever but never got round to it because he couldnt keep off the weed and subsequently couldnt keep off the big macs
Is it agreed yet cause I excitedly looked at the premier league info yesterday and there is no mention of Caucau. however there are also rumours that he could be joining cape town stormers and western province. I think its not worth paying any attention to the talk until the clubs themselves express an interest in pursuing him.
actually it was in SArugby magazine about 2/3years ago (when he left the blues) in an interview.maybe u dont know him as well as u say... why would i make that up? it makes no difference in my life whatsoever... hmmmm
Exciting rugby winger Rupeni Caucaunibuca wants to abandon his Fijian homeland and play for the All Blacks, Television New Zealand reports. Auckland management have ordered Caucaunibuca away from the media, but coach Peter Sloane said the player had no doubts. "He has said to me personally that he definitely wants to play for the All Blacks, but he cannot play as he played in the Commonwealth Games Seven," Sloane said.
"power, pace, agility and perfect balance" You can be right with that but that doesn't make him better than Lomu...there's more to rugby than that!!..."power and pace and nothing more" It was his power that make the man so famous, cos it is not just power but was great power, and with his pace it make it even better, and who says the man can't step?..that is not true...you should watch more rugby of him!!...thats my suggestion!
One of the reasons caucau always looks like hes jogging (esp in older vids) is becasue he is haha in super 12 every time he went full speed he ended up pulling his hamstrings THAT is how fast he his! shame he's so damn lazy
you can't compare Lomu and Caucau, everyone know the difference between the two, they both do things that wow people. and don't forget that Lomu put Rugby on the map!!!..he is the living legend of Rugby!!
