Slammin Samm1 2pou, always loved how he played ,but this appearance by him 2nite was one of the best interviews/insights into the man, his life attitude, and his want to help and improve the lives and situations of young up n coming polly's entering the pro's on the other side of the world is awesome ... he'd be the perfect agent n a great mate !!
What a great man ... generous, funny, and hard core. The game needs more Sam's helping the players out. Best episode, thanks.
Awesome interview. Warmed my heart and made me smile big time.
Cheers Sam12Tupou !!
I'll never forget 2003 blues vs crusaders Sam gave Brad Thorn a good whack just as Thorne was 5 meters away from the tryline!
What a legend.
Really well spoken Sammy.
Man I remember that 2003 season, tuitupou was a machine, smashing front row and 2nd row forwards
Yup Brad Thorne got smashed alright lol
Sam Tuitupou the man
Love the stories please more of this..
Absolute legend on and off the field
5:36. While size is useful in a lot of ways, being shorter and having a compact build can completely expose different aspects of the game.
Hunter Paisami 172cm 90kg
Ngani Luamape 171cm 93kg
Chris cloete 176cm 101kg
Bundee Aki 178cm 101kg
Justin Olam 178cm 92kg
Leigh Halfpenny 175cm 84kg
These guys combine low centre of gravity which is ideal for tackle technique, they are a smaller target which makes them harder to tackle, they have low centre of gravity which like a race car means they can maintain grip better when changing direction at speed, they have shorter legs so they can accelerate and reposition better, they have better coordination because there's less leverage forces on their limbs and less time for brain signals to instruct the muscles in their bodies.
Being short means you can stack on muscle easier and that makes them likely to be stronger then taller players who are the same weight.
Nonu probably belongs on that list too. I remember passing him at a pub, same height as me but literally twice as wide or more. He practically had to turn sideways to get out the door! The new tackle laws further favour the stocky builds.
What a likeable bloke Sam is, great interview, loved the stories.
,
That montage of his hits while talking was insane
Just the way he talks got my respect
Nice fulla Sam Tuitupou awesome
Sam still the mayn solid toko ofa atu 🙏🏽
I always knew he would be an ab from kelston boys
"I've just got to knock him out" ....... 😳
Roys big unit. But live the speed n hard . Thanx be quik
Got fit
Uncle trev had go. An won. But was fir a thing. Hes wasgood tho
Yer love asatasi but thing hes done.
Sam 'The Man' Tuitupou! - one of the best, toughest and most underrated pound-for-pound midfielders to grace a rugby field! 👏👏👏
💯
I reckon Sam will knock Roy out. Explosive strong guy. Lesssgoooo Sam!
He did Uce 😮
@Sid Bonanza Yea I knew it! Roy too big and slow against a powerful guy like Sam haha respect to both guys for getting in there for the cause but Roy got destroyed
"i'm just going in and knock him out." lol and that he did.
Hit man Sam! Dude is like a friggen Sensei of tackling lol I remember when him and Jerry Collins were both named to start and I was like man, that just doesn’t seem fair lmao
Scary stuff knowing those two were in the same team. I’m sure the emergency departments were busy that day
the Tongan Torpedo
Collins, such a legend. RIP.
😅😅...fkn scary as hell.
What a wonderful honest entertaining discussion. Go Sammy👍
Special player .. Special bloke ... an assassin
Clever naming Rights Sammy.
Tu12pou..centre of attention
YEAH DEFINITELY..
Good to see the doko Sam ‘Tongan Torpedo’ Tuitupou have a yarn. Hardly see any big midfield hits like his era anymore.
never forget his hit on the current reds coach in that super rugby final
@@MusMasi straight up! 👍🏽☠️
1st round KO
This is up there with the beat interviews I've seen in my life he just seems to be genuine and very smart .The stories are the icing on the cake.
How are him and Roy Asotasi in the same Weight class? Tuitupou is like a middle weight and not even a big one and Roy Asotasi has to be a heavy weight?
Pound for Pound goat hitman
Sam is such a good guy. Thank you for the interview!
Tuitupou! Respect..... Good luck for your fight bro.
Good interview real humble and down to earth
Gone are the days when we use to have Hitters like Sammy.
Question: As Tuitupou said, the European men are much bigger and stronger with an emphasis on bulk. We saw that in 2019 v. England and v. France last year. I understand skill set is a core element of NZ DNA but the results speak for themselves that without bulk and front foot ball, our backs can’t use their skill set and we tend to lose. Is this something we simply have to learn to deal with like Japan under Eddie Jones? Do we have players who can play this style or will we always be restricted by this limitation?
Much bigger & stronger! The Polynesian race of Samoan, Tongan, Māori, Hawaiian etc are some of the most physically gifted athletes in the world & Aotearoa NZ being made up of Poly heritage we as a people love the physicality why we do well in League & rugby, where it's a problem is NZ rugby tend to lean more on skill factor, mobility, athleticism & speed of play why we have leaner players but the games always evolving & now you need to get the balance right & have them bigger players maybe the boys might need to lift more & put on more muscle instead of cutting!
@@Saiyan4eva I somewhat disagree. We have players like Caleb Clarke, Akira, Milner-Skudder, Sivivatu even Lomu who love the physicality of ATTACK but don't like the physicality of defence... Remember last year when Asafo Aumua ran the ball from 10 meters out directly at Akira Ioane and Ioane didn't even make an attempt, Ioane saw Aumua coming and looked at the fly half to make the tackle instead allowing Aumua to score. We have had a track record of big men who are great on offense but can't make dominant tackles. Why? Honestly, I think our big men are missing the inner mongrel it takes to commit on defense. Whether it is because people from the Island nations are very peaceful and humble and it is not naturally in their DNA I am not sure but we simply don't have that ferocity other teams do.
A great example is Ardie who has the most mongrel I've ever seen. He produces highlights like he is the biggest man in the forward pack, often he is the smallest. Imagine if he was actually 110kg~ like the Northern Hemisphere men. If you are looking for an example of size and mongrel, look no further than Jerome Kaino.
@@richardwigglesworth1986 This is why your getting the sack lol... you have no fucking clue! 😆😅🤣
was he , back then....!! um....well, Blues Rugby . was . all about, Flamboyance, and of course . all those Polynesian players , at that time, !! him, along all of his Polynesian Teams mates....?(not many in reality , regard Canterbury Rugby !! could...in Reality...!!
Sam's really down to earth. Enjoyable watch. Great interview.
Such a likeable guy, love his smile and attitude! Incredible player
Talks about the size of 2nd fives like SBW & Ma'a but ohhh..... Low & behold who do we have Sam running straight through @ 6:08....?? Ahem..& who was that right winger in that same footage ??
Imagine Sam Tu'itupou playing in the NRL. Crazy that Mal Meniga offered Sam a contract to play for Canberra Raiders. He would of folded plenty of players lol
Best interview Well done team. Wow Sam is smart, confident and very funny too.
This guy was a machine back in the day malo doko
Waipani mafia 💯 tat legends
Who down trou’s lord Ted? 😂
An observation, I don’t think the Crusaders are getting the same connection on attack and defence with their current crop of halfbacks. They aren’t creating options of their own, aren’t drawing in defenders and don’t worry the ball runners coming their way.
love the pod guys - wondering where JP is getting these stats from? is there a data source available?
Just watched his match, I hardly got to sit lol. Should have the middle name 'So fast'
I heard this guy made it in the 1st fifteen at 13 years old 👍🏾 I made it at 15 lol
Very entertaining player to watch, hellva player he was
❤
Does anyone know the opening song name? It's amazing
Good Ponsonby Ponies man……No Easy Ponies 👍

Pocket Rocket
Another poly who fancies his chances in the ring.
Theres a reason why they're none existent in the sport

Horibasher you must talking about Shane Cameron👀👀
It’s Fight For Life not the UFC lol, Tuitupou isn’t trying to be the next McGregor 😂
