Interesting all the comments from a certain island up North about South African players using steroids. Interesting in the fact that we've had antidoping protocols in place longer than they have, interesting too in light of the Irish under 19 player testing positive a few weeks ago.
They cannot compete with saffa power thats why they run to the steroid band wagon ... bunch of wannabes.... everyone will forever be in the shadow of boks physicality and strength ... end of .
Maak net vrede met die feit dat al jou top speelers gebruik. Net omdat die sport getoets word beteking dit nie die sport is vry van steroids nie. Skoole rugby is vrot van dit, is net beter om nooit oor dit te praat nie
I've always maintained that Samoa vs SA is the most brutal encounter in world rugby. Someone always gets hurt and it's Jean de Villiers (2007 RWC, 2011 RWC, 2013 Test match). Lol its weird!
In Rugby 08 (the PS2 game we all played in high school) Derrick Hougaard is devoured alive by a Samoan in the trailer of the game. Lol we always come out worse.
The strength of pap and wors, oats, potjiekos, braai and playing not IN the dirt but WITH it. My husband played rugby, amateur wrestling and was a Judo champ. Very uncomfortable ride home for their mom. Having to congratulate the one son on his win while having to console the other because he lost against his brother. Both raised on pure Sterimilk. No wonder hubby's nickname is Superman. It's not because he has blue eyes and black hair! His work set up an email for him. Let's just say the word Domkrag was used! 😂
Yeah the strongest and best Rugby players are from the countries and islands from the Southern Hemisphere, South Africa is right up in there with them no doubt. Great video.
When "The Boks" are on form, there are very few other teams in the world that can even come close nto matching the Sprinboks sheer physicality of play... If you are playing agtainst a pack of marauding Springboks..."PASSOP KEREL" !!
Respect and love Boks rugby and their strength. Not taking anything away from their physicality and strength the NH tackling was weak and poor technique wise and strength.
@@Yongs17 yeah don’t count them out also, they defiantly also used in the past, the point is rugby is very juiced, still enjoy watching, but don’t hold these people to a higher standard, just saying
In New Zealand we have always shied away from the body building side and concentrated on athleticism but the way the rules keep changing and the way the game is being played, we may have to review our strategies. Harking back to the good old days of eight man rugby? All I can hope for is that the IRU are removed from England. Their lawmakers are continually making an essentially simple game into a more and more complex one. Why is someone penalised for something beyond their control? Madness and a blight.. Slipping in a scrum, trapped in a ruck - it goes on and on. Deliberate forward passes - what a joke. Have these smedleys ever played the game? You really have to wonder.
@@sudscoupe I don't know if you follow rugby or not - if you do you would have to concede that the modern laws are not only confusing to the viewers but the players and coaches also. When i hear a commentator refer to one referee as being "very technical", it means he is ruining the game as a spectacle. To suggest I am bagging anything north of the equator is totally wrong. Ireland played great rugby down here a while back, but that doesn't alter the fact that the amount of petty and over technical laws are wrecking the game as a spectacle.
@@chrisblockley5783 so what has IRU being in England got to do anything you are assuming it’s run by England it’s not. You are going to have different opinions on the laws of the game forever!!
Beast, Malcolm Marx,mbonambi, etzebeth,mostert,snyman,Duane vermulan, Siya,de Allende,Am those are great warriors and great fighters.. Springboks are the strongest
Umm.. these are normal things you see in rugby. Pacific islanders do this all the time, you should make a video on them. It took the whole south African forward pack to stop henry tuilagi.
To be fair, most scrum-halfs will come off second best against anything other than another scrum-half. EDIT: Except Nic White - he'd come off worse against a mosquito...
Looking at most of these players, if they are juiced as you suggest, then the UK is a great place to get steroids and a shit place at testing for them.
@@joelyons886 Firstly, this video is not about school kids, it is about professional rugby players, a lot of whom play in Europe and Japan. But discussing roid abuse at school for a second... at the time the SA study was done, a similar one was conducted in Australia with incredibly similar but actually marginally worse results. This is what the former head of the Australian Anti Doping Agency has to say about the problem in Aussie schools: “Everyone has a personal gold medal. That might be just making the First XV of your high school rugby team. "These drugs are rife - you can get them online, get them in any gym. It's a massive problem we have with school kids in Australia, being busted with steroids. They are trying to bulk up just to get into their schools team. The distribution of performance enhancing drugs is a multi-billion dollar industry. "The further down in sport you go the bigger it is because you have equal incentive to use it, because it works, it is readily available and you got less chance of being caught." In the UK, a report released by UKAD in 2019/20 season stated that the UK had around 1 million steroid users, of which 27% were found to be for enhanced sports performance. That is 270 000 sports men and women. Over half of the boys between the age of 13-16 years old who use the clean needle clinics in Wales are reported to be on steroids. In Ireland, James Cronin was banned for a month because the "pharmacy gave him drugs intended for another person".... LMFAO, Two South Africans (Ashley Johnson and Chilliboy Ralapele) were also suspended for banned substances, playing in England and France respectively and not having been home in several months. Are we drug smugglers too now? Not just a South African problem - we just don't try to hide it like the rest of the world.
@@Karma-qt4ji ...Not just a South African problem - we just don't try to hide it like the rest of the world.... HMMM numbers don't lie SA has a far worse problem than ANY other Nation. Even Eben dodged testing when in France... Sort out your own house before moaning about others
@@joelyons886 "sort out your own house before moaning about others"? Yes, exactly, Joe - that's what I am telling you to do. The numbers don't lie at all, but then Aus had worse numbers than SA when the initial surveys were held and 270 000 sportsmen and women in the UK reported to be on steroids is hardly something to be sneezed at. The problem is worldwide, you just don't want to accept that because of your obvious bias in this matter. "Eben dodged testing when in France" as though Eben is a serial steroid user who has never ever been tested..... that's just a biased opinion with zero evidence backing it up. You're not the first and you won't be the last, but that makes you no less ignorant.
SA is no place for softies. They say things go BUMP in the night.... well, since we don't have electricity and lots of dark nights, we need to be strong so we can bump right back.
There is no foundation for the claim. Neurodegenerative illnesses could just as well be due to the tremendous physical impacts. Look at boxers for example. It is a rumour put forward by French media in 2014 and allows teams to have en excuse for losing. Accept the loss and move on.
they eat wild meat, just so u know, Buffalo, springbok, crocodil.. all this meat create high testosterone at younger age, that why black African in West are so strong cause they used to hunt for dinner
Pitty the coaches didnt use it as a benefit and coaching the scrumie to kick ball into oponents hands and end up in to much losses and just wins against smaller teams who uses their brains to play clever rugby....
Now seeing is believing..look at pumas passion against AB compare to springboks...muscle is worthless if theirs no brains... I'm South African captonian
You think. I would say that you are from a tiny island up north that got defeated in the rwc final 2019. Coz what you saying aint true, our boys eat a lot of meat abd they train like mad people
ive not seen any south african do anything remarkable on the rugby field. No more than any other nation. I wouldnt say south africans are particularly strong and I dont see them punching above weight in olympic lifting or powerlifting either. Its nice that they have this view of themselves though.
If you have absolutely zero idea what you are talking about you should probably sit down and keep quiet. Its not a point of perception, it's fact. You clearly having been to South Africa and seen the size of the men there, nor played against them on the rugby field.
@@bfron4621 im from new zealand. You have a losing record against us and are renowned for just kicking it all the time. Your pack is typically the size of any other international pack. Nothing special tough guy.
Krap, hardly ever used. I'm not saying never but I am saying very seldom. They are very strict in flushing it out and bad reprocusions, been like that for years.
@@ytrxpt9731 you don’t know what your talking about, it’s a science getting round the checks but I’m sure your intelligent to know that aren’t you? Maybe not.
Steroids are everywhere in every sport you are very niave silly knob , NZ , England, Australia , etc ... they all on juice . But saffas are superior in genetics to everyone .... so.steriods or not .. we would be dominating you small lads
As a South African. I always wanted to play rugby as a kid but I knew the other kids would've brutalized my skinny bones to pieces. You can have the heart, but SA rugby requires balls of steel to be honest.
As a South African that went to crappy schools unfortunately I only picked up a rugby ball at around 14 during PE and remember hurting my shin and I was like never again, this sport is not for me lol. Rugby is the only sport I watch but I would not advise anyone, including my son, to try it out. Leave it for the tough guys, you definitely gona get hurt bad lol
I do wonder about steroid use in the 90’s. Quite a few pro players no longer with us from that era, dying around 50 yrs old. I’m sure the game is a lot cleaner now in that respect.
Most of these are technique, balance and timing, facilitating the proper application of physics. The rest are late hits on some unsuspecting little fly half…
Been big and strong before roids every existed. Ask the hosting nations of Paul Roos' touring team. Only two Boks in our 115 year history have tested positive for PED.
Typically Northern hemisphere rugby fan .... runs to steroids because you cannot stand next to saffas .... without the steroids you'd still be in trouble ... we too big, too strong and too physical
