- Dive into the heart-pounding world of rugby with us as we explore the extraordinary journey of William Ryder, the shining star of Fiji rugby! 🇫🇯 Known for his dazzling skills, incredible speed, and unwavering determination, William Ryder has left an indelible mark on the rugby landscape.
William Ryder, born on June 6, 1982, emerged as a formidable force in the world of rugby. Standing at 1.75 meters tall and weighing 75 kilograms, he possessed a blend of skill, speed, and determination that left a lasting mark on the sport.
His rugby journey took him to France, where he showcased his talent between 2011 and 2015. During this time, he had the privilege of competing in the prestigious Top 14 and Pro D2 leagues while representing Mont-De-Marsan.
One of the defining moments of William Ryder's career came in 2005 when he was part of the Fiji 7's team that claimed victory in the Sevens World Cup. His remarkable contribution to the team was further highlighted by his impressive tally of close to 1,000 points scored while playing for Fiji 7's, with a significant portion of those points coming from his 105 tries.
Ryder's name was synonymous with try-scoring excellence, and he held the title of one of the top try-scorers in the World Sevens Series for a significant period, a feat that has only recently been surpassed. To date, he has amassed an astonishing 752 points, leaving a trail of defenders in his wake.
In addition to his Sevens World Cup triumph in 2005, William Ryder achieved further international acclaim by winning a bronze medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games held in Melbourne, Australia, where rugby sevens was a featured event. His exceptional skills and try-scoring prowess were particularly evident during the 2008 Sevens season with Fiji, where he claimed the title of the best try-scorer.
William Ryder's partnership with the legendary Waisale Serevi was iconic and often referred to as "The Sorcerer" (Serevi) and his "Apprentice" (Ryder). Together, they orchestrated plays that left fans in awe, and their combined prowess on the rugby field remains etched in the annals of rugby history.

The serevi prodigy that passes all expectations.William Ryder The Legend!!
Except the most important thing, "humility"!? That's the difference between him and his idol
I absolutely loved the 00s era of 7s
A TRUE LEGEND OF THE RUGBY SEVENS GAME..! I LOVED WATCHING ALL HIS GAMES❤
Yeah, I remember watching him play in the HK Sevens. What a legend! :) Serevi-level material and haven't seen another Fiji player at this level since unfortunately...
Jerry Tuwai? Certainly comes close
@@juniorsewbs7593 true, Tuwai is the current best Fiji player but I do feel he has his moments. What I was trying to say is that I love to see Tuwai playing but he does not give me the same wow feeling that I got when watching Serevi. Do you know what I mean?
@@tiagocostaalves yeah I get you
@@tiagocostaalvessamisoni viriviri came close to that level and also jerry
Yeah hopefully we see one again, LEGENDS are usually separated by decades. RARE to have them together in the same decade.
Definitely had the best foot work in sevens and saved Fiji many times in the dying seconds. Biggest down fall was letting fame get to his head. Will we get to see another entertainer in Fiji Rugby like him again ? I hope so.
N that will be me 😊
Just remember Dis name > emosi raika😅🤍
Jerry ?
@@teresiaraika4358nah jus go play rugby in the toilet
We seriously need to make an effort to try and find footage of the IRB World Sevens Series in its early years...Ryder as gifted as he was...was not the only gem there...for one u had Serevi..but also you had Vilimoni Delasau..Rupeni Caucau..heck even Joe Rokocoko started out with the all blacks 7s too and thats just the ones i can recall.
It will be a serious treat for us if we could see all those things again.
Thay all best players, but as for me that Williams Ryder' is a freek. He has small frame and he he can disappear in the blink of your eyes. He is way better than serevi.
@@eddietomasi6164 agreed...thats why he was called the Apprentice...cause there was so much talent and promise for him
@@eddietomasi6164and that what makes him disappear without a trace😅always respect your master
I've been watching some old caucau clips of when he first started in nz, i forgot the club but it was before the blues. Boy he was built different, too bad the compny he kept and the drugs/alcohol wasted his potential.
Also in his early interviews his English wasn't bad compared to his latest interviews, almost completely different people. Dont do drugs kids, just because you can't see the damage doesn't mean there isn't any.
This guy was invincible but pride destroyed him
Yes you so true
He wasn’t dangerous he was untouchable
Which is dangerous 😂😂
❤absolutely CORRECT and true
Dangerous was his middle name..😂
Unique.... Serevi n then Ryder !! 🎉
One of the finest of the Fijian Se ven player
His acceleration is unmatched to most opponent players.
Great talent but unfortunately very short career as he always had discipline issues. He needed proper guidance and support to keep his feet grounded and head intact. The kid was super talented but also super cocky!
What actually happened? He was supposed to be amazing and living up to it then next day he disappeared
Yes, sad but true. Otherwise an excellent player on the field. His stardom led to his downfall because complacency crept in. Without the guidance and professional mentoring required in Middleton sports, high achievers like Ryder, inevitably guided him self 'out of play.'
@@user-oq4dh3fj4u He thought he required special treatment (kind of). Went overseas for one left a space for others to fill in. Was cocky in conversation while intoxicated. (I actually drank with him a few times and he wasn't that bad to be honest, but others didn't like it). Possibly its coming back from overseas his place was lost. He trained really hard afterwards but just became bigger not better. He still plays in Fiji. Watch him in a few 7s games here and there. He looks like Ryder 2x at least. ha ha ha.
@@littlellama8405 thank u for clearing it up. I thought it was some internal politics or worse a severe injury! I’m glad he is still playing and enjoying
Thank you for this!
I remember him and pesamino in the sevens same time coming up ❤
Ryder had sooo much potential to become one of the greatest, its a shame he let all the fame get to him
What u mean what happened to him?
@@Sa.d.bo26 Fijians greatly dislike arrogance. Ryder wasn't very subtle in some of his intoxicated actions and the public fell out of favour with him. With thousands of guys training daily to take your position, you have to politically maneuver into the rugby space as well.
If only he had the discipline of Jerry Tuwai. Man to think what he could have done.
@@KingofKikau89Jerry is seriously underrated. My absolute favourite Fiji rugby player. Every game he plays with heart.
Kvtnxt shut your mouth 👄. what you good at??? criticism
Would have been the next best player after Serevi if it wasn't for his ego and disciplinary issues. Also, he lost the touches after he started playing 15s.
He was endorsed to the Fijian Sevens Team by his mentor Waisele Serevi
Brilliant player
I love rugby 🏉
Yes he was Dangerous
Willaim ryder what a player
The Greatest Sevens Player ever,unmatched compared to none.
Not the most dangerous. But when he had started he was something special. To bad fame got to his head and down he went.
What happened
His ego too was big, thought he was better than Serevi....
@@legendkiller5422 no one's better than the magician/wizard.
@@sanitekavei74 you are not wrong there!
He is and will always be the wizard of Sevens...Hall of Famer W. Serevi
@@joelitavui1304 nothing happened to him..
Pride got the best of this brother ❤
I guess he was so dangerous because most of the teams still yet to reach the skills Fiji had back then. Now almost every tom dick and hurry knows how to side step and counter it. So its harder now.
Pride and fame coz the down fall
Trues up Mana
No disrespect, he is great, but he is not Waisale Serevi or Jerry Tuwai. He had all the opportunities to develop but is unsure why he left so young. Jerry came in and took them to 2 gold medals at the Olympics? Waisale Serevi paved the way for many of them. William Ryder had it all? The talent, the sparkling feet and speed, unfortunately, he was never driven as much and once he disappeared. I feel it was the end of him. I am sorry to say
But he was better than both of them Serevi and Jerry..they couldn't score tries like he did.. that's why they keep bringing up his reel like caucau...
@@moapekoroi8913but Jerry is the complete playmaker better than any player in that position /role.
@@moapekoroi8913no we keep bringing him and caucau up is because of the wasted potential. Great talents that went no where.
We ponder what could have been, instead we realise what was.
@@patkuruvakadua4657 probably just because he won many things over Ryder tournament wise but with all due respect and I don't have any thing about Jerry, he's no where near Ryder in terms of tries they've scored maybe has the edge over Ryder in the breakdown area
@@sisamusudroka3000 yup just a short stint but their names still mentioned as of today because no other player has ever mesmerised the world like they did
Rider in the groove-groove rider🤔😎🤜🤛👍🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
Fiji prime days
rugby!
Maybe one of the most dangerous sevens player but not rugby.
I know him as the greatest 7s player to ever feature for the Fiji team.
It's Springboks vs Tonga today
Rather, the unbeaten HSBC player of the tournament !!
He is very dangerous
This guy was the most fire player 🔥 fast prince of goose shame he didnt carry on an chosen to be a farmer 😂😂😂😂
And where did you get your information from?
Isa Ryder
Dangerous would be the 'bus' from Ba now called the tank or Satala who ended Cullens 7s career with a tackle. Eroni Sau....sledgehammer.
Teal genius Rigby, like JimBesm
Kong
he's a cheat code
What happened to Ryder e? Maumau Dina!
Falla toook a Japanese Contract came back can't run... sivia tale kena levu
My talented player. Better than Serevi, (Ryder, does not count any, when he is defending or tackling)👌too skillful and speed, side step is just too sharp. Breaking ankles. But I guess we all sucuumb to our weaknesses , pride, etc.
Io.gone vinaka...sa Liu ga ko doka2 sa Tarawa saraga yani ko rusa...
William Ryder was fun to watch but I would pick Jerry Tuwai over him. Jerry is a more complete player with awesome work rate both on offense and defense
Twinkling toes
Not dangerous but mischievous
@sanitekavei...me dua mada nai cai nomu cici...you bloody no game😂
No rugby player plays like him
No player comes close to Ryder
WILLIAM RYDER WAS THE GREATEST RUGBY 7S PLAYER OF ALL TIME COS HE EASILY GOOSE STEP ALL PLAYERS OF THE OPPOSING TEAM. RIGHT FROM FIJI'S OWN GOAL LINE..EVEN THE GREAT SEREVI COULDNT DO THIS !
More like the most elusive rugby player in his short lived fame !! Another Fijian wasted player.
Fame got into his head and he thought that he was above the rules
Better than serevi
Great player but did last long in the game
Your heading is nothing but clickbait😢
An israelite indeed
Na Sona 😂
@@Mechanical_Orion speak in English
@@eliasmangot410 kawaca tamamu
@@Mechanical_Orion😅😅😅
Now, he is a fisherman back in the village.
What you mean he is dangerous.. hahaha this chicken leg if he is playing 15s he will be wearing diapers by now hahahaha .. 7s is more room for him to escape tackle and big hits
have you ever played rugby??
😂😂yes have you played rugby or just playing with your mouth 😂😂
He is so dangerous because he can make you wearing diapers if you play rugby against him with that step😂😂😂😂😂
Why do you have such a jealous heart must be Samoan
U caiti tukamu good on u mate
