Let's keep the conversation going!
See you there!
Respect the correct pronunciation of Arendse. It's not an easy thing for Americans to say. You are a welcome member to the rugby fraternity. Also, great video man
Thanks so much Pierre! I appreciate you! That really means a lot ❤️🙌🏽
I'm doing my best to learn Afrikaans and Dutch pronunciations
So far ur pronounced them all right. Why i like the channel. We can see your putting effort into your vids and making sure to learn how to say the names and not just saying them how people think it sounds.
Damian Willemse next man, the guy is easily top 5 in the game today in my opinion
Yes Damian is on my list for sure. I appreciate you and the recommendation Menelik
@@QSNgg Damian plays for the Stormers, which is a local provincial rugby club. He represents the country with the Springboks, our national side. Just as I wanted to write anything further you mentioned the rivalry between the Stormers & the Bulls 🙄🤣. You know your stuff. I'm a Stormer, because I'm from the Western Cape, our Stormers hail from Cape Town in the western province. You should react to Manie Libbok as well.
Cheslin Kolbe is family of Wayde van Niekerk the current 400m World Record Holder.
Yeah that's a talented family!
I love how much positive energy u have bro. Makes the video so great to watch and love the work. Keep it up!🐐🤌🏻
Thanks so much Dylan! I appreciate you bro! 🙌🏽❤️
Love your analysis and great to see how your knowledge of the game has grown in such a short time. Love your passion for the game.
Thanks so much Louis I really appreciate you and the kind words. It means a lot 🙌🏽
I'm absolutely loving rugby ❤️
Have a look at the smaller South African speedsters, when they tackle they leave the attacker almost instantly because the know the forwards will form a ruck and the can defend again in an instant. Their work rate on follow up tackles are insane.
I'm going to take a deeper look for sure. I have so many athletes to check out and catch up on. I love seeing them play and their amazing skills
Keep them coming sir. I always enjoy your reactions. You have a great understanding which makes it even better
Thanks so much Luke! I appreciate you always. Your kind words mean a lot 🙌🏽
10:06 is just coloured excellence at it's finest. Credit 2 the OG, Gio Aplon!! 🇿🇦🏆🏆🏆🏆, Kurt-lee kwai man klong🔥🏅💯🙏
Yes I've heard a lot about Gio Aplon! I will check him out ❤️
@@QSNgg thank you!! Don't rush tho, you have a long list of players that fans request you to check out. Take your time!!
Yes Jeff! thanks for giving KLA some love!
You're welcome Gnarly! I appreciate you!
@@QSNgg Thanks Jeff, Gio Aplon was Cheslin's hero and insperation growing up, they ended up both play for the stormers at the end of Aplon's career. Def a must watch he is the orignal scrumcap brigade putting giants to shame with them dancing feet. Like Cheslin he was also told he is to small to play for the springboks and that kept him out of the springboks for most of his career, Only got a couple caps at the end and he should have been as big as Cheslin today. He was also my hero growing up.
The only hightlight reel you need
ruclips.net/video/fR3st6A6Yrw/видео.html&ab_channel=RealRugby
@@gnarly3256 oh yes, Gio Aplon, was the one that started it all for us coloured laaities.
First there was Gio Aplon
then Cheslin Kolbe
And now Kurt Lee Arendse
Hopefully Edwill van Der Merwe is next in line
And each of them were sort of mentored by their predesor,
The hot stepping speed demons of the Cape with their signature steps and scrum caps, the futures always bright when we see these sort of players in our game makes rugby existing to watch
Coreeection 1st came Brayton Paulse then Gio Etc
You all have so many incredible athletes it's hard to keep up with. I'll get dialed in all these athletes. I'm keeping an eye on Edwill for sure.
He's amazing! The future is bright
Well if you wanna be techinal then it's Chester Williams before anyone, he walked so others could fly
@@gnarly3256 indeed Breytie 1st then Gio Aplon, but Aplon's style are more evident in our smaller coloured laaities, our speed are deceptive, mine included.
@@IsanG08 nah if you wanna be technical then it's not Chester either but Errol Tobias. However, Breyton & Ashwin brought the flair and Gio Aplon made it more graceful.
I love these commentaries! I think you’d really enjoy seeing some Makazole Mapimpi stuff. He got taken out of the World Cup early but he’s brilliant!
There’s also Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux. Sorry, the Boks just have so many brilliant players!
Thanks so much Mads I appreciate you! I'll definitely check out Makazole Mapimpi. Thanks for the suggestion 🙌🏽
The Boks do have so many incredible athletes! I have Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux on my list 💯
Exactly what I said!! Makazole Mapimpi is great!! And Rassie's emotional reaction to him
awesome reactions bro. Keep it up, we'll keep watching
Thanks so much Thabo! I appreciate you! That means a lot 🙌🏽
"The Butcher"
Nicknamed from his day job as a butcher before he became a full-time athlete.
That nickname is awesome!! Thanks for letting me know that Rudolph
Pass 3 in the morning i had to watch because Kurt lee is my star
Massive love Jonathan! I appreciate you boss and hope you have a great morning 🙌🏽 KLA is incredible!
Making the choice simple. Don't choose either north or south ,but the middle ground - Cheetahs!!!
Vrystaaaaaat!
haha thanks for making it easy for me Morne 🤣
Check out Canaan Moodie.
Those three kolbe arendse Moodie are exceptional.
Kolbe s cousin is wayde van niekerk who holds the world 400m record or did at one stage a couple years back.
I'm going to check out Canaan Moodie! He's awesome! Kolbe's family is incredibly talented
Another outstanding reaction,4:25 it’s called the unders or dummy runner then the other guy passers behind the dummy runner to create an overlap but as you can see Kurt keeps on drifting to the left side..so whenever you’re defending up always keep drifting where the ball is going if they cut back in,that’s where ur other team mate makes the tackle cause he’s also drifting behind u..Love Love it bro💯🙌🏽Always love to be here🇫🇯🇫🇯
Much love boss I appreciate you always! Thanks for letting me know about the unders and dummy runners. That helps me learn so much more about the game and how the set pieces unfold.
All love always! You're the real MVP 💯❤️ 🇫🇯🇫🇯
@@QSNgg because of you’re amazing content that’s why we’re here to support u brother. Much love🙏🙌🏽💯💯
Massive love my brother! That means a lot! We're in this together always 🙏🙌🏽💯💯
Dude, first time I'm watching your channel. As a South African, I have to say, you give great input and analysis of rugby! Best I've seen from a guy who is not from a traditional rugby country. I'll be watching your channel in future. Keep it up, bro!
Much love John! I appreciate you boss. That really means a lot 🙌🏽 I'm looking forward to chatting with you more!
@@QSNgg yeah, the conversation will develop. You have a great channel.
Best wishes from Springbok country. Looking forward to more of your input.👍
@@QSNgg Keep up the great commentary. You truly have an intuitive understanding of this game. Much love back to you, bro.👍
I'm about to get into the video rn. Just so proud of this young "speedster" as you called it. He's actually from my home town so whenever the Boks play it just makes it 10x better seeing one of our young talented players play for the national team🇿🇦🤴
That's awesome he's from your hometown TG! So cool to see that. Very inspiring for sure 🙌🏽
@@QSNgg You said you liked that "step." It's a coloured style of play, started by Gio Aplon. Cheslin Kolbe's hero, he inspired us coloured boys, you've seen it in Cheslin's way of playing and now in Kurt-lee's. When you react to Damian Willemse & Manie Libbok, you'll see it as well. That's how we play. Gio Aplon should've been just as big as Bryan Habana but yeah SARU couldn't comprehend his style of playing. It was too hot to handle. Another South African legend is Breyton Paulse, was faster than Bryan Habana.
love the vid up kurt le arendse
Much love Coop! I appreciate you!
Seems like you like good balanced runners. Have a look at Grant Williams. You'll love the way he runs!
Yes Grant Williams is insane! I have to watch more of his highlights for sure! I appreciate you Dewald 🙌🏽
Great reaction keep up the good work
Thanks so much Adam! I appreciate you boss! I hope you have an incredible weekend 🙌🏽
When choosing a team you have to look at Western province/ Stormers they are the best team is SA. And most of the SA players come through the Western province system. Fun fact K-L A is actually from Paarl in the Western Cape
Thanks for letting me know that Matthew! I'm going to do my research on all the teams and pick team to support. I have a lot of work to do 🤣
Pasrl is a top wine producing area of the WESTERN CAPE this province western cape is one of the top wine producing areas in the world.
@@QSNgg you'll settle with the Stormers, because all of the wings of today for the Springboks hail from the Western Cape
As an old fart who remembers the 80s, only the Stormers aka Western Province have won the Curry Cup 5 times in a row.
@@tonic8945and the bulls won it 9 times out of 13 and had 2 draws. Just before that.
BANGER
Much love Lorenzo! I appreciate you!
My south African provincial team is the CHEETAHS.
FROM THE PROVINCE OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE.
MY SON WAS BORN IN A MINING TOWN CALLED VIRGINIA FOUNDED BY TWO AMERICAN RAILWAY ENGINEERS.
THE FREE STATE PROVINCE IS IN THE CENTRAL PART OF SOUTH AFRICA.
SHARKS born and raised for me. haha
@@RJH1611 ja boet good team but a few of your legends are free staters we ain't got the money like you oukes and western province and the bulls.
@@user-kj8lq7mo2s ya we def seemed to have taken a lot of their players over the years.
I'll check out the Cheetahs! That's so awesome your son was born in Virginia. Thanks for the background and history on that. I love knowing those stories
I'll have to check out the Sharks! I'm still learning club and URC
Love your content bro🎉...I am amazed at how you have grown in your knowledge for the beautiful game of Rugby and giving our Springboks all the love they deserve from the otherseide of the pond...Love you bro #FromAProudSouthAfrican and #StormersSupporter😅
#WesternCapeInTheHouseBaby😂
Massive love Ramon I appreciate you and all of your support always! I'm going do more research on my South African club teams and find my favorite for sure 🤣 Love you bro!
Tonderai Chavhanga ran the 100m in 10.27 - he didnt have a long career for Boks but he was fast!!!!
That's flying!!! I'm going to check out Tonderai Chavhanga. I appreciate you Russell!
9:35 that team is Ireland in their alternative kit 👌🏻
Thanks for letting me know that Matt!
Check out Christian Cullen, arguably the best attacking fullback of all time. Beautiful running style. And this is coming from a Springbok supporter :)
Yes Christian Cullen is on my list! I'm going to check him out 100%
You should defo check out Ange Cappuzo, he was the dude in blue that made a few great tackles on Arendse. Italys new superstar.
I will check out Ange Cappuzo!! He was so fun to watch this year in 6N. Thanks for recommending him Tobias! I appreciate you!
You have to watch a star that is dominating now.... Grant Williams playing for Springboks and currently playing for Sharks (south african club)
Yes I need to check out Grant Williams for sure. I've only seen a few of his highlights and he's super fast and shifty
That was indeed a fijian player levani botia is a star player for fiji beside tuisova radradra and nayacalevu at the world cup played flanker and center
Thanks for letting me know that! Fiji has so many incredible players
You must check out Gio Aplon another south African winger he was very under rated back in the day bec of his size. he has the same style of play like kurtly Arendse...
Please check him out
Gio is on the list 100%! He's been on my list for a few now and I'll get that video done
South Africa 🇿🇦 let's go
I have all the love and respect for South Africa 🇿🇦❤️
As a South African, I really appreciate that you pronounce our players names correctly. We don't expect you to, but it's a nice touch👌🏻 respect.
are you kidding!!
I really appreciate you Jenna! I do my best to learn and show my respect ❤️🙌🏽
what a breakdown , you get it
Thanks so much Salayi! I appreciate you!
Another great video. I ran 100m and 200m with kids like Arendse at school.I had No Chance! It's a shame that kids of color back then (early 90's) didn't have the opportunities to play rugby.
Yeah running against speed demons like that none of us have a chance 🤣 It really is a shame that the 90s were like that
@@QSNgg yeah, in South Africa there's white, black and us coloureds. Cheslin Kolbe, Kurt-lee Arendse, Canan Moodie, Grant Williams, Damian Willemse, Manie Libbok, we are coloureds and Errol Tobias was the first nonwhite Springbok, followed by Chester Williams, Ashwin Willemse and Breyton Paulse made many see what we got to offer for SA Rugby. Bryan Habana, Gio Aplon came around and let's just say the rest is history. Springboks utilize us for their wing positions.
You also need to check out "Gio Aplon"
Gio is on the list 100%
you want another technical runner? Makazole Mapimpi! Deceptive speed! Doesn't look fast, but he shifts!
Much love I appreciate you! 🙌🏽
Great work like always. Please see if you could find any material on "the beast" Tendai Mtawarira
I appreciate you Nicholas! I'll for sure check out the Beast!
Oeeee I love Kurt-Lee 😍
I agree Anna! KLA is incredible!
Have you done a video on Pierre Spies yet? You're in for a treat
I have Pierre on the list. He's been there for a while but I'm moving him up the priority list. I've heard he's exceptional
@@QSNgg yeah before Dwayne Vermeulen there were Pierre Spies, check out Pedro Wannenburg, if you can find anything on him, he played Eight man and flanker, could easily play Second Row as well if they placed him there. Pieter-Steph du Toit reminds me of him.
You could look at rocky Elsom or Sean O'brien. Both destructive ball carriers who were world class at their best.
Rocky elsom single handedly won leinster the European cup in 2009 I think it was.
Thanks so much for the recommendation on rocky Elsom or Sean O'brien. I appreciate you Philip!
Should definitely also have a look at Bryan Habana, a real legend at wing.
Here is my Bryan Habana video: ruclips.net/video/O1bWiv3yGnY/видео.html
I appreciate you Henri 🙌🏽
You should watch the 1995 Rugby world cup finale with South Africa vs New Zealand it was crazy the most intense finale minutes of a game ever.
I have the game on my laptop
I will check that out thank you!
I saw it on Chasing the Sun and the impact it had, but will watch the full match
Bulls for sure. Name refer to style of play as well. Love the physicality.
I've heard the Bulls are hard nosed and physical! I'm going to watch more club and learning the teams
Great Reaction-Vid as always really luv Ur Energy & Enthusiasm but just also wanted to point-out something the Try where Kurtley Arendse's momentum carries him over is a Try as if Ur momentum carries U over the Try-line it's always a Try.... However, if U Go over the Try-line without momentum when being tackled before the Try-line this is ruled as a double-movement on the ground + is not allowed so the Try will not be awarded in this case so basically Ur momentum needs to carry U over if tackled before the Try-line U cnt be trying to crawl over the Try-line when tackled before the Try-line!!!
I appreciate you Yazeed! Thanks so much for pointing out the Try as well. I was wondering how that all worked out and how it was awarded
Thanks so much for teaching me that. Incredibly helpful!
@9:41 it was against Ireland, as both teams play in green Ireland wore their alternate jersey in this game
Thanks for letting me konw that. I love those kits they had. It's hard to see them in anything but green
Watch Chasing the Sun 2 and do reviews on the episodes
Wont regret watching it, best rugby documentary ever
I am for sure! I just finished part 1 and will start Chasing the Sun 2 tomorrow. I'm excited to review every episode 🙌🏽
Virginia is in the orange free state province part of the orange free state goldfields the biggest mining town is called WELKOM about 20km from Virginia current UFC middleweight champ DRICUS DU PLESSIS was born in the Goldmining town of WELKOM about the same time my boy was born in Virginia 20km away.
A bit of south African geography to interest you.
Thanks so much for letting me know the history of the province and the cities in South Africa. I love learning this. I appreciate you!
You have to support the Stormers 🙏
I'll have to check out the Stormers for sure! I'm going to get more dialed into club and choose a team 🙌🏽
Kla is goated
I agree 100%
I love your vids i have A team rugby (first team rugby) for three years grade 3
I appreciate you Sonja!! That's awesome you have a team!
Cmon you gotta be a stormer bro. Kurt lee is even from Paarl Western Cape (stormers territory) ❤ stormers for life babe
I'll learn more about the SA club teams and decide for sure! I'm excited to get more into URC
@@QSNgg for sure mate. Glad you are enjoying the rugby. Stormers used to be known for their defense in the years of Jean De Viliers and Jaques Fourie (springbok center pair that played for us at the time with habana coming in at the wing) but with the current coach and players we are playing some beautiful attacking rugby ❤️🔥
@@QSNgg I fell down 3 stories when I was 18 and broke all the bones in my right foot (right is my strong side) and wrist and cracked right elbow and right part of forehead. Dr said I won’t ever run fast again or play a sport like rugby. Two years later I started rugby fitness (after playing some tag rugby slowly getting back). After 3 years I got back into contact for my local team and played there a few years and now I’m in Asia, been playing social rugby for 3 years here (you can see my videos on my channel)
He came from sevens like kolbe did and he did not use a scumcap much in sevens.
Yeah he would've been so hard to stop in 7s!
The blue bulls are the greatest team in south Africa They play the aggressive brand of rugby Fun fact they never lost in a friendly games against any country they played against they are also the only south African team with Super Rugby titles They take players from the western cape & turn them into world class players
That's what I've been hearing Greg. I've heard the Bulls are tough, gritty, and aggressive.
Thanks for the fun fact on that as well. That's impressive to never lose a friendly game. I'm excited to learn more about the Bulls and the URC as a whole
Bulls only managed 3 Super Rugby titles … whereas Crusaders made 12. Not huge accomplishments to boast about
@@KekeHimona he meant amongst the South African clubs. I'm a Stormer.
Exactly poaching our talent from the Western Cape.
Up the bulls
Bulls are tough! I love their physicality!
Malcolm Marx has to be next he is an absolute beast in a scrum and is turnovers are insane and without a doubt the best hooker in the game of rugby right now
I'll check out more Malcolm Marx in depth! Thanks for the recommendation
9:36 it’s ireland in an alternative kit ❤
Thanks for letting me know. Those kits are cool ❤️
React to beadun barrett 🐐the video from Andrew forde 👍🏼
100% checking out Beauden Barrett! I appreciate you EM 🙌🏽
Very good reaction !!. React to Pierre Spies ,,,,
Thanks so much Waldo! I appreciate you! I'm checking out Pierre Spies for sure
Bulls!!!
The Blue Bulls are incredible! I'll have to pick a team 🙌🏽
Please react to Rupeni Caucaunibuca ruclips.net/video/GUOlvMKRyxU/видео.htmlsi=e2jn3wh9BAwnzOQs or Christian Cullen. They are the two greatest runners of the ball in Rugby history in terms of speed, agility and the angles they ran to score tries. The majority of Rugby fans will agree regardless of the country they are from. Hands down, these two guys along with Jonah Lomu were the hardest players to defend in any era in any Rugby game.
Thanks so much for sending me the link to Rupeni Caucaunibuca! I''m going to check him out as well as Christian Cullen. I appreciate you EJ 🙌🏽
@QSNgg thanks for the reply I appreciate! 🙂. The video I sent probably has the best video quality of Rupeni. You'll be amazed at both these guys who lit up Rugby in the mid 90s to early 2000s. Rupeni was considered to be even more harder to defend than the GOAT Lomu on his day.
South Africa is the best defense team in the world, so if you want to breakdown good defense, South Africa is your team.
I agree! I just finished the first season of Chasing the Sun and love South Africa defensive strategies
React to manie libbok next please
I appreciate you! I'll definitely make a Manie Libbok video
Arend = Eagle
I love that! Such a powerful name
You should react to Squidge Rugby on how South Africa won the rugby world cup
I will for sure!
The guy is quick. I like the speedsters we have in South Africa. BUT! The official fastest player in the world is Englands Christian Wade @ 11 2 m/s
USA Carlin Isles was rated fastest in 2022 ding 100m in 10.3 secs
Christian Wade is awesome! I saw him when he was on the Bills in the NFL. I still have to check out Carlin Isles as well. Really speedsters like you said
Was the American Movie Friday Night Lights, player called Booby with the same stepping runs?🤣
Yeah Boobie Miles! He played for Permian in TX. Incredible running back!
Nobody's mentioning the speed of the linesman 😅😅
hahhah I missed the linesman 🤣
Can you feature another south african winger ( makazola mapimpi ) his skill. Personal story.
Yes Mapimpi is on my list. Just finished Chasing the Sun part 1 and his story is inspiring
Die Hard Rugby is a Bulls supporter...I hope the counts for something 😉
hahaha I love that! It definitely counts for something 🐂💙
chasing the sun
I loved Chasing the Sun 1 and 2. Here is my review of Season 1 episode 1 of Chasing the Sun: ruclips.net/video/QYaK-y4Eqlk/видео.html
Pease check out Manie Lobbok
"Die rooi Libbok ram spring oor drie rolle doringdraad!"

I appreciate you! I'll definitely make a Manie Libbok and Bundee Aki video
@@QSNgg please Manie Libbok from the Stormers!!
Damian Markus rugby reaction 🙏🏾.
Yeah you won't regret it
I'll check out Damian Markus for sure. Thanks for the recommendation!
you better start supporting the Bulls bro
I'll get more dialed into URC and club rugby in SA for sure and pick a team 🙌🏽 I love the physicality of the Bulls
Will Jordan next ❤❤
Yes, Will Jordan video is coming out soon 🙌🏽❤️
do beauden barret next
Beauden Barrett is on my watch list for sure!
U should watch jc mars a south african school boy player for qsn
I'll check out jc mars for sure. Thanks for the recommendation Marius 🙌🏽
Stormer!!!!!!
Stormers are awesome!!
Go with the Sharks! We absolutely suck at the moment, but it'll get better.. I think😂
hahah I'm adding Sharks on my teams! 🦈
I'm going to have to learn club and URC. When I pick a team I'll let you know 🙌🏽
If you really can't choose between Bulls or Stormers. Watch URC final Stormers vs Bulls
I will watch that for sure! I appreciate you Mark
How does the Springboks and players like Cheslin or Kurt-lee compare to your football players and style of play. What are some similarities and differences and perhaps how do you see some if our players do in American Football?
Thanks
Bok supporter!
Hey Sheldon!
Both sports feature incredibly skilled and athletic players, but there are certainly some key differences worth highlighting.
Rugby players like those on the Springboks squad tend to be extremely well-rounded athletes. They need a combination of strength, speed, endurance, and agility to excel in the non-stop, free-flowing nature of rugby. Players like Cheslin Kolbe and Kurt-Lee Arendse epitomize this with their ability to beat defenders with pace and footwork while also being physical enough to make big tackles on defense.
American football players, while also supremely athletic, tend to be more specialized based on their position. For example, offensive and defensive linemen prioritize massive size and strength over speed and agility. Receivers and defensive backs need elite speed and agility. The stop-start nature of plays in American football allows for this specialization.
That said, I could see an elite rugby back like Kolbe or Arendse translating well to a skill position like running back or receiver in the NFL. Their combination of quickness, agility, vision and physicality is perfect for making defenders miss in open space. Players like them show the incredible all-around athleticism required for rugby.
The main differences would be the more structured play-calling and pre-snap motion of American football compared to rugby's continuous action. But I have no doubt South Africa's top rugby talent would find success in the NFL if given the opportunity to focus specifically on a position that maximizes their athletic strengths.
Kolbe and Arendse will more than likely have to put on more weight to protect themselves from the physicality of the game of football as well. The hits come from every angle which differs from rugby and is more explosive in nature do to the short-burst style of football.
No matter the sport, elite athletes like those on the Springboks are masters of body control, speed, power and competitive drive. While the games have distinct nuances, the highest level of athletic excellence translates incredibly well across football codes.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know your thoughts and if you have any other questions. I'd be more than happy to talk more with you
@@QSNgg Thanks mate. I don't really understand NFL bar touchdowns and "ready set" being shouted. So no idea how tye rules work. That said there's clearly great skills in the game. Not sure if you know Naas Botha. He was one of the Springbok greats in the 80's. He left RSA and did a stint in NFL. He was a specialist kicker so guess that's why was there. Anyway, thanks for the info and viewpoint. I will have to educate myself about NFL a bit more.
Blue Bulls for life...
They're touch and physical!
Quick as greased lightning but he's only 5'10 and he won't last too long bouncing himself off Kitshoff like that. (First replay).
Greased lightning is the perfect description! Taking big hits like that is rough long term for sure
His surename means EAGLE.
AREND is the Afrikaans word for eagle.
That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know that. Such an incredible name. He soars like an eagle 🦅
@@QSNgg lol, I'm glad you know now, but he is nicknamed "The Butcher" coz he worked at a butchery before he was discovered, but he should actually be the "🦅 Eagle 🦅" as he is an Arend lol
You have to pick the stormers 😊
I'll check out the Stormer some more! I have to pick a team 🙌🏽
Stormers
I'm going to watch more Stormer 100%!
YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT LUKHANYO AM HE WEARS 13
Luk is definitely on the list 🙌🏽
you should pick Hollywood bets sharks from druban best team in SA
I will check out the Sharks for sure Gurk! Thanks for letting me know about them. I'm excited to learn more club and URC
U should react to Jacob stocktale is he amazing
I'll take a look at Jacob stocktale for sure. Thanks for the recommendation 🙌🏽
I think he talked about Kurtley Arendse not the other way around
KLA is incredible
Can we see Specman video as well
Yes I have to make a Rosko video for sure
Stormers all the way
I love seeing the Stormer and watching Arendse create magic with them
React to makazole mapimpi
I will for sure. He's on my watch list
It's easy to pick a South African team....just pick the Freestate Cheetahs, everybody's second team 😂😂😂
hahah I've been seeing a lot of Cheetah recommendations. My picks are narrowed down now 🤣🤣
I appreciate you always JJ! I hope you have an incredible weekend
Do you think these guys will excel in the nfl?
Maybe a few guys could convert with a lot of time and training. I think it would take NFL players a lot of time to play rugby as well, because our sports are built for different play styles in terms of long endurance vs short sprint/explosiveness
React to "I Am Legend"
I'll check that out thank you!
