Helped look after Wasps back in the day - my god this man drank. Pints of bacardi topped with dash of coke - for "taste" Great guy, funny guy, complete headcase with a heart of gold
Everyone seems to forget the time period - I miss this level of tenacity in rugby, it's a far cleaner game now but I miss the punch ups and ruthless tackling technique's.
Definitely the hardest hitter ever in Rugby. Was lucky enough to watch many of his club rugby in West Auckland before he made a name for himself. He was something else. Growing up in Sth Auckland being a big hitter isn’t anything as most hit hard....but Trevor was on a different level. He went in for the kill every time. Blah blah blah people saying illegal hit. Illegal or not, he was like a Rhino charging. Just brute mass! You felt the hit by just watching.
This man is one of the pioneers who paved the way for pacific island ruggers; showing them what needed to be done on the field in order to progress or first of all be noticed into selection. And once in, you are on your own, so to speak. However, the previous generation of ruggers have now taken the role of big bro in nurturing and advising the younger ones on how to make it in the big leagues and not get spat out with nothing to show for it. Congratulations on a lustrous career and thank you for helping the younger ones to progress further than yourself.
I doubt that what you just said If that really happened that would crack your skull open you would die, have Internal bleeding and stuff this guy might have hit hard but not how you describe It lol.
Used to be no problem with these tackles. I think he was in his latter years of Rugby when the new rules were introduced. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.
SAMOAN BEASTMODE, USO'S CLUB....T.Leota, Tuilagi brothers, J.Collins, B.Lima,L.Mulipola, S.B.W, M.Nonu, S.Mapusua, T.Vaega, A.Perelini... List goes on n on n on n on n on.....to be continue 🤨🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸👊👊👊
Kelstonz Finest Bone-Rattler...add along with Apollo Perellini, Iga Tuigamala etc. When you played againts Trevor, no one else mattered on the opposition BUT....The Pitbull Himself. When you got hit by Trevor, there wasnt enought MORPHINE in the Ambulance to heal the PAIN until you got to the Hospital for RESTOCK of the Pain Killer Drug......RESPECT to the Uso.
@@Tongandingo1 everyone from Auckland knows him, most should in NZ and alot of people here in Australia as he currently lives in Melbourne I think. Oh yeah, and all of Samoa. As I said, jog on mate
I played rugby 8 yrs on the all marine team on Hawaii. I was 147 lbs and fast. We played against sumaons daily. Bug ass dudes. I never once let them hit me full flush. Speed kills and if you know how to move and dodge, that would never happen. Of course I'm 52 and was 19 then but still
I think sable is a harder tackler legal and left them rolling in pain sorry about spelling is name wrong but like he said when a reporter asked do you speak English. Why I am french brilliant
Robert Bertram Trust me, this is not the hardest rugby has. Clickbait title. Go look up real hard rugby hits, plenty of good compilations out there. I’m a huge rugby fan and a player myself, and I’ve never even heard of this guy. 🤷🏻♂️
still waiting for a samoan to dominate judo or any legit grappling sport though..they usually specialize on hit and run/ trainwreck demo of strenght..try static display of strength for a change
@@filisi26 hahaha not really..was able to roll with samoan judokas thats why i have developed this theory that they have to gain momentum first and static display of strength like grappling is not their cup of tea.☺️
@@filisi26 not throwing any shade here..its just my observation..they dominate hit and run contact sports but not really in terms of static strength..samoans are tall, and judo is unforgiving on tall judokas because of their center of gravity
@@mf_dom08 I'm not someone who is extremely well versed in judo but i took judo for a good 5 years from about 6. Maybe I'm not understanding your comment but what i leaned from judo which still has stuck with me all the way to adulthood is a good center of gravity along with using someone momentum and weight and to redirect it into a throw. Not once was strength involved in judo so when you say that you haven't seen a Samoan do judo well bc of static strength how does strength have to do with. Both grappling and judo are self defenses that allow a small person to handle someone much larger than themselves
@@pandabearmadness6263 i agree, grappling favors the peeps with smaller frame as its all about technique..i have rolled with samoans and blacks and grappling has somehow jolted them back to reality that brute force like the ones they have been complimenting on this video is not really big for me..i guess im challenging the normal impression that most of the folks have here because thats all there is to it..hit and run, wrecking ball approach..the physics is given thats why grapplers would be unforgiving to their opponents that rely on such tactics..you simply remove the opportunity for them to shift and deccelerate and let their momentum injure them..like in american football..that barbaric tackle will just look like a fool on a well-performed downward stiff-arm on his neck..crushing his skull in the process because thats all he had
I admit, I don't know much about rugby. That said, its seems like most of these hits are late hits and after the ball exchanges, where he hits a guy who has no time to react. Nothing admirable to those types of encounters..
Wait....I was just watching a video which you posted which said that Brian Lima was "Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter" and on my recommended list here, I see another of your videos which says that Sebastien Chabal was "Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter". I'm confused. How many "Hardest Ever Hitters" are there in rugby? Is this your full time occupation? Posting video after video after video of "Rugby's Hardest Ever Hitter"? Thumbs down.
Suh, clay mattews, Julius peppers(in his prime) Terrell Suggs etc would DE STROY this guy. The hits look big because they're tackling guys the size of WRs and Corners. Also if this is big and fast for rugby Vince Wilfork would have been a 5 time rugby champion.
High tackles, Late tackles, Off the ball "hits", No arms but just barging in!! I think Jaques Burger from Namibia and Saracens deserves more credit for "Hard Hitting"!!!
Illegal cheapshot hits off the ball. It like that guy who thinks hes the man coz he knocks people out every weekend, by blindshotting strangers for no reason.
Helped look after Wasps back in the day - my god this man drank. Pints of bacardi topped with dash of coke - for "taste"
Great guy, funny guy, complete headcase with a heart of gold
He played in that legendary match vs Toulouse
I really do agree with that.
Rather be his team mate and friend than the opposition...This guy is a straight badass
💯🔥

He reminds me of UFC fighter Mark Hunt
apparently mark hunt and Trevor Leota are cousins
@@supriyamingnam7555 They are! Imagine getting into a bar room brawl with those two 😱🤣
He looks like David Tua and Mark Hunt combined.
JonnyThunderkong david tua is actually his distant cousin funnily enough
Yeah true as 😂
Sheesh Big heavy Hitter much love from Tonga 🇹🇴 💪🏾💯💯
Weak hits and dirty
S.N.T. KEFU dirty but not weak
Joseph Teo that’s up for debate.
KBHS ALL DAY 👊👊👊
Chiefs All day what? Whatever! BLUES ALL DAY!
It's like getting the heaviest bowling ball thrown directly into your face from about 4 inches away at about 30 mph, trev was my idol growing up
😂😂👍
If this guy is your idol u really need to get out more
I doubt that what you just said If that really happened that would crack your skull open you would die, have Internal bleeding and stuff
this guy might have hit hard but not how you describe It lol.
brilliant description lol
are any of these shots legal ? Flippin' heck !! ✌️🇬🇧👍
Used to be no problem with these tackles. I think he was in his latter years of Rugby when the new rules were introduced. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Might be the greatest ever at dirty tackles off the ball.
These sort of hits are why they changed the rules.
Sonny Bill style
Sonny Bill Williams was suspended for a hit that wasnt as bad as some of these!
Watching him felt like those guys were hitting rocks or something like that 😂😂
Nice to see all those hits didn't damage his handsome face
02:08 Smashed a Bok - a whole Springbok - so brutally that the next receiver dropped the ball cold out of terror!
African Wonderer I know right ? And bokkies are no joke either .
OMG That caught my attention straight away
Not an easy feat smashing a bokkie like that 😳
What a lovely brick wall of a man!
Amazing video highlighting one of Rugby's best, but man, that music is like nails on a chalkboard!
This clip might suggest otherwise, but honestly one of the nicest blokes you could ever hope to meet.
His finishing move is, tackling with his face- FULL SPEED!
Maxwell just bounced out & kept going
But he's suffering from severe head injuries from concussions these days.

Then you need to find out more about him. Beast

Magic why

Trevor leota is awesome.
Norm Maxwell just spins out.
Later bro couldn't hit that Kauri.
aye that cracked me up couldnt even buckle the skinniest gangly hard as nails brother out there haha even got the pass away afterward
Nga Puhi hard👊👊👊
Can’t find the game Samoa v Australia 98 - Leota on Ofahengaue, 2005 Leota on Elsom and Sharpe 💥
For me the man they called the Chiropractor, Brian Lima is the biggest hitter
Yeah, his wife can attest to that 😂😂😂
'I can take this guy' 2:17
'Nevermind' 2:20
Y.A.K. *STOP IT!* _(you’re making me wee)..._ 😂🤣
A Hard hitter no doubt. But you could hardly lay claim to the hardest in the game based on those highlights.
He's knocked alot of players with these tackles a pitty none are shown on here
Very few legal hits there. Mostly a collection of high, late and no-arms hits.
😮 This guy Trevor & Jerome Bettis a.k.a. The Bus in head on collision with no pads! shock wave Earthquake!
Lots of swinging arms and high tackle's
The good ol' days 😂
Which game was it when he knocked out four Tongans?
It was a game back in 2000 in Apia, I was a little kid at the time, and then the following week he knocked out 2 Fijians and his own team mate 😂😂😂
Michael Ironside was the game recorded? Can we watch it anywhere?
It was the one where they played against Tonga.
@ So Smit LoL I think he meant cheeseburgers 😂😂😂😂
@@pimzkiliati7252 I knew never cheeseburgers was slang for Tongans...ya learn something new everyday haha
Gave Hask a really hard clump nearly knocked him in to next week.
He would have made an amazing linebacker!

Anybody just can’t play this sport lol YOU GOTTA BE A WHOLE MAN
You forget how big the blokes he’s hitting are 😯
I don’t think he is the hardest hitter at all, maybe he could be with his size but his tackles are nothing more shoulder chargers
You vs what the world and the players thought lol
Is he gonna go save the WWE?
he is a war machine
The Chiropractor says nah.
Anyone know the tune playing???
Trev the man 👊
You say that Leota is rugby's hardest ever hitter, but the same about Henry Tuilagi. So which is it?
That dudes neck has it's own area code.
I wonder if any of these guys were put on "time out" growing up lol
They were TIME OUT!
What’s the name of the song?
Hitting hard is one thing, but being dirty is another
This dude is tough

If this is the best they have how the hell do people think rugby hits harder over the NFL?
Robert Bertram well, they don’t have helmets, mouth pieces, and pads all over there bodies 😖
@@daveo154 yes but none of the hits are at high speeds so they aren't very powerful compared to a linebacker in the NFL at full speed.

toughest ILLEGAL hitter is a better title. the oke is a maniac lol
best of the best
Is rugby a candy ass sport now ?
He's built like a tank
Wack home slice!!! Back street boys track hits harder then that...
As an American it seems so ridiculous in the little cute shorts. American football hits are so much harder than this.
UFC mark hunt look a like. And he is also the hardest hitter in UFC
Hardest hitting with the arms
Some of those tackles were almost legal.
He should of played in the nfl could of been a great defensive tackle
nope..if thats all he has, 1 stiff-arm on his neck will be his death..a 200lb defensive line with perfect technique will school him
he toooooo slow..allen iverson and lebro james on running back mode would make a fool out him..he will be tackling air
Dominant = late, high, no arms.
I smashed him in a tackle and he never ran at me again.
Short fella but still tackle high
Imagine him and Bakkies Botha on 1 team!!!!!!
With Jerry Collins
Got to give credit to the all black guy he got hit so hard but still didn't go to the ground😳😳 1:11
