So many salty comments as Hogg’s playing career showed: 3x Lions tours, 2x 6N player of the tournament. His move to Exeter did not improve him as a player for me and lost pace and was in fairness probably better marked. His defence has been very good, although a popular line of attack on his play, a 15 will always be exposed as the last line of defence. Can’t defend him off the field, but on the field he was consistently one of the best full backs in the game for a decade. He did start against Japan in the 2019 rwc fyi…
@@usarugbyleagueunionfan if you're from the UK and you are doing a video on Scottish rugby, there is absolutely no excuse for butchering the pronunciation of Hawick
It’s a very good insight into how sportsmen & sportswomen have a lot to juggle throughout their lives apart from their careers & love of the sports they play🙏🏻
Hang on, noticed at aged 20 in 2012, it is 2024 now makes him 34, has to finish sometime became age is marching on. As for his passion for the game and his failings, well we all have those problems.
Good video, aside from the pronunciation of 'Hawick' lmao. For me, Hogg only has himself to blame for his downfall. It might feel like the media turned on him overnight, but his career is full of controversy. He was dropped from the Glasgow match day squad multiple times in his early career (including the pro 12 final), got his only international red through a cheap shot on Dan Biggar, was constantly told off by his coaches for his comments on social media, encouraged the press to further harass him by biting on their headlines, snuck out of Scotland camp with 5 other players to go clubbing and - rumour has it - was the one that sparked the fall out between Finn Russell and Gregor Townsend... That's without mentioning his personal life, in which, he's lucky not to see jail time for. While he's bound to retire with a playing record that most can only dream of, he also has a tonne of failed potential, thanks to his own antics. It makes me sad that such a player had to turn out to be a horrible person. I can only hope that his records are dead and buried through time, like how Duhan and Darcy are already erasing his try scoring record.
The problem for Scotland is this is their best team in 20 years and they have won nothing. Glasgow have in fairness won trophies but the national team have blossomed under Ireland and France. With just two pro sides how long can they keep performing. Getting knocked out of the RWC in the pool stages was understandable given the quality of opposition but also ran isn't good enough. Hogg blossomed in a talked up mediocre team and was like all things Scottish Rugby got talked up.
Saying it’s their best team in 20 years is not saying much, given Scotland were absolutely terrible for most of that 20 years. Realistically it’s going to be a struggle to win much when Ireland (and to a lesser extent France) are so good. But it’s hardly the end of the world - the only key member of the team who is aging is Finn. The rest are mostly mid-20s, with plenty of time left yet. Hopefully GT steps away next year to get a stronger coach in charge.
People need to realise just how low the bar was when Hogg started his playing career. Scotland would win 2 or 3 games/year at best and they even lost at home to Tonga. Murrayfield only sold out against England and the all blacks and even having a half-full stadium was considered a good day. This current Scotland team might be the best in 20 years, but that's because the others were so poor
Completely overrated imo. The only reason he has any attention was that he was the only player with any spark in a sea of mediocrity with Scotland. Once Scotland got better, he was found out to be totally lacking defensively and tactically. Keenan, Kearney, Halfpenny, Williams, Daly are way better
It leaves Hogg doing what he always does, turns up, all goes a bit wonky after a while and off he goes again to another club/league/country and so the cycle goes on
From a long standing Leinster fan here, I always felt that if I was one of Stuart’s coaches, from when he was a boy right up through to today, I’d have no hair left watching him. As somebody who is half Scottish and half Irish, I always want Scotland to be right up there playing well, challenging everywhere (except of course when Scotland are up against Ireland 😊). And Stuart initially looked to be a great prospect. He’s got great ability all round, great flair, can do some magic things sometimes during games but…….. Yes there’s a “but”. A big one. He’s always been horrifyingly prone to making shocking errors and to sometimes disappearing altogether from games. I don’t know the guy. I’m sure he’s a nice decent person. But I couldn’t and wouldn’t trust him to deliver a good, productive, safe and winning performance in every game.
Everyone's upset about "Ha-wick", but no one has mentioned the claim that his acceleration earned him the nickname "Hoggy the Highway". Absolutely no one has ever called him that. Where on earth did you get that from? John Talks Shite, more like 😂
Having looked at his face going to court ,I believe he is capable of killing someone who is weaker and less strong as he is, just by the hate he had in his eyes. He gets his arrogance from his parents who have been held as some of Hawick's pillars of society, arrogant and entitled (big headed) .

He hasn’t one trophy or medal to his name. He’s overrated
@@SmcdMcd-d2kHe won the Pro12 with Glasgow and the Premiership and Champions Cup with Exeter.
@@danjwray wow… a whole 2 medals in a very very long career
@@SmcdMcd-d2k why can't you count 😂
@@danjwray still he hasn’t really achieved much.. not even a triple crown at the very least
Apologies but I lost interest after your pronunciation of Hawick.
Sorry about that
@@JohnTalksRugbyDon’t apologize. No one is perfect. You did fine. I’ve never heard if that place until now.
@@usarugbyleagueunionfan if you're from the UK and you are doing a video on Scottish rugby, there is absolutely no excuse for butchering the pronunciation of Hawick
I think it's hoyk, sorry if I'm wrong,there is a very famous Scotsman from by the name of Bill Maclaren one of the best commentator of rugby union,.
@@JohnTalksRugby at least you gave it a go 👍🏼

Nigel Owens catching him diving is my memory of him

20 + 12 = 32
Hopefully most of use do not end up in court for domestic violence and harassment of our ex-wife.
Nothing is guaranteed in this day and age.

He let the ego get to him. Scottish rugby has an issue with ego. Just look at Finn(never won shit) russell
won the urc
@@finlaybarlow7711no international honours
Finn has an ego? 😂
You talk pishh
@@finlaybarlow7711To be fair, that’s many years ago, and a pretty poor showing for a long career.
The upfall was pretty horrific too. Game destroyed by unhealthy personal habits.
Maybe the prison has a team.
Yes. It’s called Montpellier.
Just so you know it is pronounced Hoick not Ha wick. It’s unlikely you’ll make a video with the town name in it again but just in case you do
A grossly overrated player who only cares about how he looks in the media
personal family issues with divorce is hard for anybody and this isnt the forum, he was a great player and good luck to him

and Toonie is to well connected to get ousted. e.g. andy nicol said nothing against him, cos he pplays golf with him
France were supposed to be an unstoppable force for the last 4 years and they’ve won one six nations, not much better .
Blossomed under? Are you sure

Your pronunciation of Hawick tells us many things.
Oh Come on 😂 half of the commentators say others places name wrong in other countries
It tells us that you are a pedant, that’s all.

Watched him for Glasgow for years . He was over-rated , bad tempered and unreliable according to backroom staff .

Lol the haters 😂🤡
@@speak_your_truth. it’s pure facts. Just keeping crying about how mediocre he is
@@chihangho5377 I'm laughing not crying 😂🤫

John Cooney is that you?
Lol at the idea Stuart Hogg is ‘a nice decent person’. The fact he’s facing criminal trial should tell you all you need to know in that regard…

Yeah my bad 😂. Hope you enjoyed the video though
Shame you were making content about his misfortune :(
Please learn how to pronounce Hawick!
Yeah I’m sorry my bad
Yoik!

Hawick pronounced HOIK surely?
Yeah it is. My bad
@@JohnTalksRugby 🤣
Great attacker terrible defence

horrid person
Ha-wick. 🥴
Yeah my bad. Sorry about that
Usual problem.......bevvy
I listened to the end. “Thank you for watching etc” but you certainly will not!
Music makes itbunwatchable voudnt bear past half way . Aqful ..reported
Sorry but if you can’t pronounce Hawick I’m not interested. Even phonetically it’s not ‘How-ick’ cos there no f--ing O in it
Yeah my bad. But I hope you enjoyed the video though!
i shuddered each time you tried to pronounce Hawick
scottish thistles 🤣
Does anyone give a toss tbh?
Nobody cares about how to pronounce Hardick. Interesting video.
At least make an effort to pronounce Scottish place names correctly! It’s pronounced ‘hoik’, not ‘hah wick’
Having looked at his face going to court ,I believe he is capable of killing someone who is weaker and less strong as he is, just by the hate he had in his eyes. He gets his arrogance from his parents who have been held as some of Hawick's pillars of society, arrogant and entitled (big headed) .
BULLY 💩
How so?
