Back row forward Sam Underhill looks back at his life in rugby, from the formative years in Gloucestershire all the way through to playing for England at a Rugby World Cup.
i completely agree! !AS LONG AS! they dont get any serious injuries, they could both see 2 more world cups and i would love them to (mainly because they are so mature) ! but a nasty or ankle or knee injury can change the corse of rugby history in one reckless tackle sadly..
Reuben Ramirez He’s had some terrible luck with injuries over the past few seasons but I think once he’s back fighting fit for a decent amount of time he’ll replace the likes of Wilson in the team.. Who I am a big fan of so it’s no knock on Wilson at all
Liverpool67890 I’m a quins fan. I don’t think Jack is nearly as good as Wilson. He had potential but I feel that due to injury he’ll never play as well as he could have.
Kiwi here, and I _really_ rate this guy. Fantastic player. I'd never heard of him till he played against the ABs, and scored what should have been a brilliant try when he turned Barrett inside out. He was a colossus in that test, and was the best player on the field. All the best for the RWC.
Another kiwi here, lawes was about an inch offside, brilliant try that should've been awarded. At the end of the day that try was underhills, and a fraction shouldn't have taken it, even if technically correct.
@@tompackman A truly well deserved win. I've never seen the ABs dominated in _every_ aspect of the game. They were beaten everywhere. Congratulations, and all the best for the final.
Does come across a nice guy, I'm an Irish fan who was gutted by the AB loss, I'll be supporting SA for the final but would like to wish the English players well, hope everyone gets through the game safely.
I love his focus and commitment and his display against the AB's was outstanding, but the thing that shines through is his humility. He is a credit to himself, his family and his nation!
What an honest-talking role model for any kid - sporting or not. Well done today, Sam.. Just one more week's journey to the final. God Speed and God Bless
After England's recent and persistent deficiency at the defensive breakdown, he must be seen as something of a hero over there. He's a GREAT openside flanker, both with and w/o the ball. Not too tall, stocky low center of gravity, head tucked into those sizable shoulders and an upper body like a greco-roman wrestler.
When you think he's only 23, what could he be like in another 5 years? I appreciate the sporting comments from AB fans here, I think the great thing about Rugby is that we ultimately can admire true skill when we see it regardless of who the player, plays for.
This england team seem like such a well grounded bunch of lads. Watched Underhill for the ospreys as a Welshman wish we could have convinced him to play for wales. Best of luck for sat go hard. May the best side win.
This is what u call a role model, not Ali, rashford, anyone ftom towie ect, 21 years old in a World Cup final, never in papers for wrong reasons, very mature for a 21 year old
I'm an all blacks fan and didn't know much about him. This guy was a beast and terrorised us. England were amazing. Did there homework and planning perfectly and smashed us. We simply had no answer. Even our try was a fluke. Well done england. U cant help but applaud that effort
Jack Yarrow the thing that makes it great for me is that as the ball is being shipped out wide Underhill is still on the floor!! The intelligence and commitment to head straight to the corner and then tackle one of the largest wingers in world rugby while he’s already sliding on the floor is special
If not already, Sam's off to be the best 7 the world will see for years to come. Best defensive vision down to gut and complete trust in his instincts. His only fault is not to be French. Merde ('Break a leg') on Saturday vs SA in WRC Final!
in time he will become an England legend .. such incredible power and athleticism ..almost unstoppable when he gets going forward ...expect him to make a huge impact on the world cup.. Good Luck Sam ..Unleash the beast within
The England squad by next World Cup won’t be terrible but I’m only predicting a semi and if the circumstances are bad a quarter final because all of the chemistry could be lost with all the players that are going
I hope that your club and England Rugby have made the same level of commitment to you as you have to them, to give up your education for rugby is brave.
The thing I like best about this guy is his completely dead pan expression as he smashes ball carriers to the deck, stands up and moves on to his next task, no smug grin, no smirk, just cold ruthless efficiency. They say that what Napoleons army found the most unsettling about facing the British army in a battle was their unnatural and sinister silence, just a disciplined and unfazed wall of redcoats waiting for them as they advanced singing ,shouting and cheering into musket range then..............Cold ruthless fatal efficiency as the automaton like red wall swung into action. This is what I see when Underhill plays.
Sam Underhill is my number 1 idol,he puts in the most effort in any game and should have been the player of the year in 2018 or 2019 he is an amazing lad and this video of him talking inspired me.Sam my bro,I Love you #Bromance
My 8 year old in his 1st season of full contact this year, I wanted him to have good role models....take a bow Mr Underhill and thank you from us both. (Son's name is Sam so he now has a favourite)
Him and curry are the future of the English back row
i completely agree! !AS LONG AS! they dont get any serious injuries, they could both see 2 more world cups and i would love them to (mainly because they are so mature) ! but a nasty or ankle or knee injury can change the corse of rugby history in one reckless tackle sadly..
I agree & don’t forget Jack Clifford
Liverpool67890 true but he’s not in Japan so he’s going to have to work hard to get back in the squad
Reuben Ramirez He’s had some terrible luck with injuries over the past few seasons but I think once he’s back fighting fit for a decent amount of time he’ll replace the likes of Wilson in the team..
Who I am a big fan of so it’s no knock on Wilson at all
Liverpool67890 I’m a quins fan. I don’t think Jack is nearly as good as Wilson. He had potential but I feel that due to injury he’ll never play as well as he could have.
Sam Underhill name of a hobbit body of an orc. Beast of a player!
Body of an Uruk Hai don't you mean! ;)
I always thought his name was funny given the England Manager's name.
Literally looks like the white orc from the hobbit
Body and face tbf.
U nailed it
Kiwi here, and I _really_ rate this guy. Fantastic player. I'd never heard of him till he played against the ABs, and scored what should have been a brilliant try when he turned Barrett inside out. He was a colossus in that test, and was the best player on the field. All the best for the RWC.

At the end of the day that try was underhills, and a fraction shouldn't have taken it, even if technically correct.
This means even more now! Amazing game, fair play to the ABs, it took an inspired effort by England
well you can rate him more now he just teared up the all blacks XD
@@tompackman A truly well deserved win. I've never seen the ABs dominated in _every_ aspect of the game. They were beaten everywhere. Congratulations, and all the best for the final.
Bet you're just loving him now...! Turned another Barrett inside out, just in a different way... :)
Very switched-on young man.
England captain written all over him.
A Ali agreed
The man who helped england knock new zealand out of the rwc semi final
oh f**k off
@@byro2668 Truth hurts 😂
AVICII is that you
I knew this day will come. England beat NZ once and we will never hear the end off it
Seems like a decent guy. Sat on the next table to him in a coffee shop in bath once. Hope he has a good world cup.
Does come across a nice guy, I'm an Irish fan who was gutted by the AB loss, I'll be supporting SA for the final but would like to wish the English players well, hope everyone gets through the game safely.
HE’S ONE OF OUR OWN
HE’S ONE OF OUR OWN
SAM FUCKING UNDERHILL
IS ONE OF OUR OWN
-Sir Thomas Rich’s 2k19
Anyone else here because of the semi final this morning against NZ?
Yep that's why I'm here. Havent seen much of him. But from wat I've seen, he could be the the world's best openside
He was the best player on the pitch
@JTW He's better than ok and his tackling is absolutely fine.
I love his focus and commitment and his display against the AB's was outstanding, but the thing that shines through is his humility.
He is a credit to himself, his family and his nation!
What an honest-talking role model for any kid - sporting or not.
Well done today, Sam.. Just one more week's journey to the final. God Speed and God Bless
Photo at 0.25 is amusing. He already looks absolutely stacked playing against normal size 14 year olds.
The tackle at the start of the video was when I knew he would be one of my favourite players
You and Curry are the future. Wishing you all the best lads.
Great player. Come on England, do us all proud this world cup. Bring on Tonga tomorrow morning!!🏴🌹
An incredibly eloquent and intelligent speaker for someone with the brute strength of an ox on the field.
The guy is a Beast . Type of player us South Africans love
After England's recent and persistent deficiency at the defensive breakdown, he must be seen as something of a hero over there. He's a GREAT openside flanker, both with and w/o the ball. Not too tall, stocky low center of gravity, head tucked into those sizable shoulders and an upper body like a greco-roman wrestler.
Best tackle I ever saw!
It's the fact that he was on his arse at the start of the phase.
Quit making me like you England players!
Under hill and curry played amazing against New Zealand today
Watching this young bloke do his thing on the pitch is so good to watch. From an All blacks Fan
When you think he's only 23, what could he be like in another 5 years? I appreciate the sporting comments from AB fans here, I think the great thing about Rugby is that we ultimately can admire true skill when we see it regardless of who the player, plays for.
@@fiveowaf454 Well said.
Keep it up Sam, keep making Tommies proud! Looking forward to seeing you step Barrett again ;)
*Edit* - Zak, from Nige's class
Classic Nige and his Narnia office
Big up Kellie
cant wait to see more of sam on the field. England back row looking good right now!!
Underhill has been my favourite player since I’ve first saw him. Absolute nails!
Still remember him playing for Cinderford 2nd/1sts at 18/19 - was phenomal tackler/carrier even back then.
This england team seem like such a well grounded bunch of lads. Watched Underhill for the ospreys as a Welshman wish we could have convinced him to play for wales.
Best of luck for sat go hard. May the best side win.
He seems lovely. Good lad. And so talented
I wish I :
“ended up playing full time rugby, with out the intention” 👌
well done Sam. Your humility is a virtue and you are an inspiration
He’s bench pressing some serious weight: very powerful.
How much is he lifting at 6.10
Quality man, and quality player. Go on my son!
This guy in the semi’s against the AB’s was a beast unbelievable just goes to show that hard work and good choice making pays off respect.
This is what u call a role model, not Ali, rashford, anyone ftom towie ect, 21 years old in a World Cup final, never in papers for wrong reasons, very mature for a 21 year old

Pure quality this fella. Nothing more, nothing less.
Such a fine English specimen is Underhill. Huge potential to be a World Class flanker.
not the sexiest but deadly efficent from a french point of view
That tackle at 0:10 is the best try saving tackle I’ve ever seen, by a country mile!
Jack Yarrow it’s great, but check out George Gregan tackle on Jeff Wilson. Try saving and match winning.
Daniel Goodall yeh, that tackle is quality as well! To be fair this tackle is a game saving tackle considering the final score line!
Jack Yarrow the thing that makes it great for me is that as the ball is being shipped out wide Underhill is still on the floor!! The intelligence and commitment to head straight to the corner and then tackle one of the largest wingers in world rugby while he’s already sliding on the floor is special
David Holmes
Exactly, it’s unbelievable! Glad to see he’s playing brilliantly at the World Cup too, what a player!
If not already, Sam's off to be the best 7 the world will see for years to come.
Best defensive vision down to gut and complete trust in his instincts.
His only fault is not to be French. Merde ('Break a leg') on Saturday vs SA in WRC Final!
Underhill is quality. Wish he was a welshman. From a welshman 👍🏼
in time he will become an England legend .. such incredible power and athleticism ..almost unstoppable when he gets going forward ...expect him to make a huge impact on the world cup.. Good Luck Sam ..Unleash the beast within
Could'nt agree more
This guy is my idol if i had to meet one player it would either be him or johnny may
As a Superhero, i approve this guy to be my Robin after watching him playing the All Blacks lastnight
Reallife Superhuman
Look like he should be digging graves by night.
He just looks like a beast
Kiwi here this guys a legend great player 👍🏼
What a player ❤️
My favourite player!! Him and Itoje were absolutely incredible today! Made the all blacks look like Italy!
Great guy, great player. Exciting future ahead and come on England in the final!!
Great guy, performance on the field are noticeable, and he is so humble. Coming from a jack that is saying something.n well done Sam
Sam you are my hero thank you for sharing your story !
Lovely to hear his story!
Absolute beast today!!!
Legend.
What a great young man and a weapon of a rugby player.
And long may he continue to play for England as he is such an important player.
How did he perform on the absolute BIG stage. Like a fucking BOSS is the answer
The England squad by next World Cup won’t be terrible but I’m only predicting a semi and if the circumstances are bad a quarter final because all of the chemistry could be lost with all the players that are going
Longlevens!!!!
Great video, and going to be a great player 🤞
Bring your magic to the semis on Saturday ok!! Cos if you do were in that final!
in the ospreys you could tell he was going places,well done sam.
My favorite player besides from Manu and David
Alex Calzado David??
Sad to see him leave the team... best of luck to him
3109 pounds he ways
Pleasure to see such commitment.. I wish him all the best for his England career..
Keep making them big tackles Sam your a beast
A new Richard Hill xx
He was awesome today. Such a nice guy as well.
He sounds like Ed Sheeran
Mordor called. Sauron wants his Orc back. 😂
Stop being boring.
Shoulders like boulders
I hope that your club and England Rugby have made the same level of commitment to you as you have to them, to give up your education for rugby is brave.
No it isn't he can always do education after
METalGod66 Good point, so long as his rugby career means that he secures senior student places and future employers don’t hold his age against him.
Future England captain and legend of the game if he can stay healthy.
nickrad him, curry, Maro, future looks bright!
He is the best tackler ever
Looks like an orc
buzzing!!
One of my favourite players, absolute beast!
well said ... last comment rings true

This is what I see when Underhill plays.
This guys a beast 🔥💪🏽
... apart from Peterborough RFC obviously. Near the cinema as I recall.

Has anyone seen this mans shoulders?!!!!!!
Proper English warrior! 🏴
Great player....thanks to Justin Tipuric ;) Good luck tomorrow
Seems like a gent. Well spoken and thoughtful....he'll be a pain to play against over the next 10 years, but a pleasure to watch.
Sam Underhill, you're a legend! Keep humble and play hard.
A question for the ladies, are women into Sam's physique?
Why wouldnt they be he has a average body not big not small
Well I would love to look like that, mightve If the rugby gods didnt decide to take my good knee😂
Mon the England
As a Scot I dislike the England team but I just can’t hate him and curry
Looks kind of like Hartley, but that's where the comprassionas stop! Top bloke sam
Very good footy player but how is he this swol without the juice. He must have titan genes
Tommies Legend
Aussie here. Wow terrific player. Future is so bright for this guy.
So proud of you ❤
Top bloke!
