I agree, and he was certainly an underrated strenght of the SA in the world cup. Every game he would enter in the bomb squad, the scrum shifted immediately... no scrum, no win! PS: I still find amazing that you can win the world cup by winning 3 games in a row by 1 point.
Wow! I didn't realise just how intelligent his rugby play was. A bit like Eben Etzebeth, he is strong, quick and reads the game so well. I'll be keeping a very close eye on him in future
Guy is built like a cannonball and accelerates just as fast. Crazy how effective being that heavy, short, and fast is - but it's such a rare combination of attributes.
It’s a shame that SANZAAR are so strict on copyright for the RC because Ox was fantastic this year at first receiver. Some of his passes out the back were sublime along with offloads etc. He really has stepped up this year in the loose.

@@tsaki_titancuz he’s really short but he’s able to scrum against some of the biggest people in the world and come out on top. It’s like how cheslin kolbe was a questionable decision when he first started playing but now he’s one of the best wingers in the world even if he’s only 5ft7. So it’s quite impressive that ox who’s only 5ft8 is crushing it in not just club rugby but international rugby
He can create great lift and rotation bias in his position . that , coupled with some angry horseman locks almost ALWAYS causes a dominant rotation in the scrum, resulting in a scrum penalty . They have a great inbuilt point scoring machine and that’s why they’re the best . They’ve always used the scrum this way . how to compete ? Pick for the same stature and make it KNOWn. Shortish, under 6 foot ideal monsters . That’s the leverage lift effect of a shorter prop
Okay...now i understand why everybody is voting for OX to be awarded the Best Player Of The Year. The guy is indeed an OX and fark me he's quick for someone his size🙌🏿
Doris had a great SA tour but was a bit up and down in the 6N IMO. He was still one of Irelands best players but he had a couple of off games especially vs England and Scotland. PSDT on the other hand has performed well in every game so far, don’t think he has had game worse than 8/10. Plus the WC final should count for this year too as the vote was done before the final last year so that edges him in front for me. These November games will be telling I think. Ireland have some tough games so Doris can put his hand up there. But personally I would love if Ox won because props need more recognition and he has had a great year.
Doris wouldnt start for the Boks or NZ. A 8 with such a small skillset, cheats at the breakdown, gets away with murder and should get WPOTY? I dont even think he would start over Cam Hannekom at the Bulls because he got owned by Hannekom.
Ox is an all world No.1. He's on par with Os, one would think, and he still has years ahead of him for the Republic. He could finish as the finest no 1 to have ever worn the 💚💛💚💛.
The same Ox that stepped on an Irish player's hand (on purpose) during the last World Cup? That cheating bastard? He's pure scum and should have been red carded and banned.
The same ox that you hopefully just watched in this video run great lines, heavy carries, and putting in hard tackles.. as well as dominating most of his scrums. But sure, make it personal
Dude Marler isn't even the best LH in the England squad And off the top of my head I would take Nche, Kitshoff, de Groot, Ellis Genge, Fin Baxter, over Marler off playing ability alone
This is such a silly comment, it takes a good while for people to make these videos you know. I love Marler but he's not even the best prop in England, forget about the world.
Ox is so deceptively fast

You should focus on the winning part not the point difference.
I just love how he is fast and even his teammates know it..... because kicking the ball for a prop is wild😭😭
He even was like 2.5 meters behind the kicker that first time. Absolutely ridiculous.
Wow! I didn't realise just how intelligent his rugby play was. A bit like Eben Etzebeth, he is strong, quick and reads the game so well. I'll be keeping a very close eye on him in future
On his current form, no other prop comes close for me. Dude is a human wrecking ball!
As a fan, nothing puts a smile on your face quite like a sprinting prop... As a small defender, nothing wipes the smile off it the same.
Guy is built like a cannonball and accelerates just as fast. Crazy how effective being that heavy, short, and fast is - but it's such a rare combination of attributes.
What a brilliant video to explain the difference between horsepower and torque
3:07 lovely bit of vision, skill & pace by the Cake Whisperer😍🤌
🤣

Yoh, Ox can MOVE!!!
I wasn't aware until this video
It's time to change, it's time for a prop as the best rugby player of the year! Up the Ox!
Cheslin Kobe 😅
A unit of a player
My guy answered Chocolate Caramel without a second of hesitation.
Not one second of hesitation 😂😂
Crazy how short he is in this day and age as well! Inspiring stuff
What??

@Pasta745 if you're a prop yourself you'll understand why such a short prop is bulldozing everyone in the scrum 😂
Huh?
I had no idea Ox had scored so many tries 😮
Still 0 for the boks unfortunately 😢
At 3:02 he calls for the kick forward, he backs his pace. If Springboks plays open rugby I'm sure he'd have quite a few.
Bros tenacity reminds one of warthog , short pacy and an absolute cannonball
Wonderful athleticism.
Freakishly strong
FOR THE PURESTS
Best prop yes! Best scrummaging loosehead to ever play for SA. Smashes people in tackles and carries the ball into contact with such power.
That man can RUN!!! Gawd damn!! and super high IQ. IMPRESSIVE!
Yes, so far. He is genetically born to be a great loosehead prop. And when he play in conjunction with Bongi is incredible on the scrum.
Absolute world class. Strong, fast, smart. Hopefully Tamaiti Williams can replicate his model for NZ
Guy's actually got crazy handling
ox has great hands, normally when a prop goes for a run, he aint passing the ball to anyone but ox offloads like a back
He better than the beast 100
Awesome video!! We need more videos of these scrummaging monsters.
Can you make one about Andrew Sheridan?
Having such a mobile prop is a weapon!
that drive over the line with the guy holding on to him at 2:12 is
He can create great lift and rotation bias in his position .
that , coupled with some angry horseman locks almost ALWAYS causes a dominant rotation in the scrum, resulting in a scrum penalty .
They have a great inbuilt point scoring machine and that’s why they’re the best . They’ve always used the scrum this way .
how to compete ?

I've never seen a prop that is this fast😦🔥
OX has "big shoulders" to stand on! If you know!
His all round play is amazing for a prop - sets off or continues many attacks
What a beautiful video!
Calling it now, first prop to win World Player Of The Year! Might even be in 2024 World Player of the Year :D
As much as SA is a group of 15 individuals, they are a group of genuinely remarkable individuals, and dare I say, even individual "leaders"!
His fast too.
incredibly mind boggeling🙌
Ox is him!
Look at the hands bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ox deserves POTY, if dupont even get's nominated i'm done with rugby.
😂😂😂Du pont will be there
Anyone else noticed how flat his feet are at scrum time, Ox will never get penalized for hinging
Props in SAMOA 🇼🇸 club rugby will pump this dude...EASY AF.
Ok
So why are they nowhere to be seen in test rugby?
Jy praat twak
Samoan 😅😅😅what?! Cumon fella win a serious cup first before you assume... None of your players can scrum this MACHINE😅Cut daydreaming
Cannonbaaaall!
World Player of the Year. He's been immense.
Soo strong
One of the best players on the planet at the moment.
Okay...now i understand why everybody is voting for OX to be awarded the Best Player Of The Year.
The guy is indeed an OX and fark me he's quick for someone his size🙌🏿
I'd love to know he's origin story, looks like he was quite the speedster earlier on and just got slower the bigger he became
The OX!!! 🐂💪😤
I know this is a union account but make a Nathan Cleary and/or Shaun Johnson video please mate!!!
Can’t argue with that he is the best prop in the world at the moment. Still think Doris should get player of the year. Ox or PSDT are deserving.
That's wild
Doris had a great SA tour but was a bit up and down in the 6N IMO. He was still one of Irelands best players but he had a couple of off games especially vs England and Scotland.

CHOCOLATE CAKE!
Ox,the beast,the best prop in the world,
Strong 💪 as an OX
I agree best
What a player with pace and off load skills
Woww Ox is so fast
Class player
Appropriately named
SHARKS Own! ufikile u Ox
Joe. Need I say more…..
OX Baby ask NZ & England
Salad don't win scrums.
say you.
When the Cheetahs were relevant 😢
What a player! Had big shoes to fill when he joined the Sharks to replace Beast Mtwarira. Man has surpassed all expectations
Deberías hacer un video de malherbe el mejor 3 hoy en día
Rabah Slimani had succeeded to dominate him in scrum during the last Challenge Cup semi final but it's very rare, he is impressive
Mirror Lomu! Fast prop!😵💫
Lomu #11 would pump and dump this guy...beach please.
Ox is an all world No.1. He's on par with Os, one would think, and he still has years ahead of him for the Republic. He could finish as the finest no 1 to have ever worn the 💚💛💚💛.
Shame, all those other props he bossed been eating too much salad
JESUS LOVES YOU
The thing about Ox is he is a super human being too, funny, smart and kind.
Until he gets on a rugby field
Salads don’t win scrums
Debatable
The same Ox that stepped on an Irish player's hand (on purpose) during the last World Cup? That cheating bastard? He's pure scum and should have been red carded and banned.

And may he do it again.
🤡 that's you
I know it's coincidental, but this feels like a jab at marler
I made and the scheduled the video before he announced his retirement and even if I hadn't I'm unsure in what way it would be a jab at Marler?
Dude Marler isn't even the best LH in the England squad
And off the top of my head I would take Nche, Kitshoff, de Groot, Ellis Genge, Fin Baxter, over Marler off playing ability alone
This is such a silly comment, it takes a good while for people to make these videos you know.
I love Marler but he's not even the best prop in England, forget about the world.
As an Englishman I can certify this is a dumb comment. Nche should be on player of the year list this month
Who's that guy anyway?🤦🏽♂️🚮
