DMac's an inspirational player with explosive pace and agility in conjunction with a gift for reading the game and for recognising space, another gem from NZ
Well, he does have a good brain for the game, but his speed & agility is what sets him off most of the time, so I would say thise are physical attributes, just because it not strength
@@kurtsudheim825 in terms of him breaking through and out now tackles I’d say that’s on the mental side. You’ve got to have confidence when running into contact and back yourself.
I've never played rugby or followed it as a pass time, but this channel is awesome and it has given me a huge amount of respect for rugby. I think it's safe to say that the athlete featured in this video is the very definition of "GAME I.Q."!
Phenomenal player! Massively talented and has serious wheels. Watched him play for the AB's when they played England at Twickenham a few years back and he was a stand out player. Would be great to see him play in the English Premiership one day.
As an (objective) French fan, I can’t understand why he’s not the main AB fullback. Barrett could start at 10 and Mo’unga would be devastating coming off the bench. DMac is really overlooked for all his talent.
It’s due to the ridiculous talent the Kiwis have at full back. Jordie Barrett is playing some incredible rugby , there is also will Jordan. Beauden isn’t even guaranteed a starting position for the Blues when he returns from Japan. Beauden’s best hope of playing for the All blacks might actually be at 10.
It’s mostly due to injury. He had about a year out with a knee injury which put him out of the World Cup and he lost his all black spot. McKenzie has a great combination with Beauden for the all blacks. ABs were at their best when they were both on the field. Beau and Richie never quite clicked even though they have had a number of tests together. McKenzie should have got more time for the ABs last year after his injury comeback . The chiefs were bad but McKenzies individual form was great.
@@PontyclunBosomPals yes of course Jordan is an amazing talent but I reckon he still has to prove himself on the international stage. I'm personally not a big fan of Jordie Barrett. He plays really good rugby in New Zealand but I think he just falls short of what you'd expect from an AB fullback. He doesn't have the same skill and vision of say Ben Smith.
@@vulturnuszan I totally agree. In my opinion, if DMac hadn't got injured, ABs would have won the world cup. I think they're going to opt for the Beauden/DMac combination again before heading to the World Cup.
Love this!!!! Can you do a Ardie Savea one next?There are not enough recent highlights videos of him on RUclips, and you are one of the best channels out there.
@@animekawaiichan9399 nothing like cullen. only thing similar is them being pocket rockets, he's similar to Brent Russell. didn't have his explosiveness and agility but was a better rounded player
@@animekawaiichan9399 Nothing like either tbh. Wilson was an elite speedsters with explosiveness outwide. Mckenzies quite a different breed, Wilson was a habana Type player but more of a versatile player, Mckenzies like what Mike jones Sr said, Russell the pocket rocket. Springboks are terrible at utilising their talent, not playing their best players. either due to politics or their height, atleast their rivalry with nz would be more competitive than it is now
There is a bird in the islands , we call it a ( Kaleva ) that birds every where on the coconut tree or on the tree., That birds is faster to move every where.where . Even though some can climb up on a coconut tree in a raining day , we call this guy's a ( Kaleva ) Damian is a real ( Kaleva ) .👍👍👍
Considering his freakish ability to get the ball over the line when he has no right to do so, and his ability to beat a defender with agility or pure pace, it's awesome to see that his priority when he makes a break is always to draw the last defender and give a teammate an easy, guaranteed run in under the posts.
@@daisysuperdog2814 no one was mentioning the RWC clown nor the springboks. seems like you wanted to bring your team up, Giving yourself an excuse to mention that the springboks won the RWC. like i said, why would he even wanna play for them? he's on the greatest sporting team in history, and is playing in the black jersey with alot of significance. seems like you were waiting for this kind of response to mention how South africa beat england, not NZ. WWE trophy? didn't know we did WWE.
I think had dm not had that injury ahead on the 2019 world cup they'd have won it comfortably. I'm welsh by the way before people pile on i'm being partisan. The all blacks looked imperious with him & beauden barret running riot.
Dont know why but he looks to really enjoy playing rugby... A pleasure to see him on the field!
It's a joy to watch him play 👍🏾
He’s nutso
Le best
Probably because he really enjoys playing rugby.
🎂

And brave af!
Glad to see such a small/lightweighted player being so dominant on a rugby pitch. It proves to everybody rugby is played with mental, not physic
Well, he does have a good brain for the game, but his speed & agility is what sets him off most of the time, so I would say thise are physical attributes, just because it not strength
Well said mate.
@@kurtsudheim825 in terms of him breaking through and out now tackles I’d say that’s on the mental side. You’ve got to have confidence when running into contact and back yourself.
Shoutout to all the small/skinny players who have him to look up to
Same with Aaron Smith, Shane Williams, Faf de Klerk, Cheslin Kolbe.
Thanks bro
That’s meeeee
@@StriderDSC cheslin kolbe ain't skinny. He's buff💪
@@behzingasdad I’m sure he would have started his school career quite skinny
The most valuable player in NZ Rugby at the moment, he is a MONSTER! Proud to be a Chief 🤟
Most definitely. He was always under rated.
DMack all day 🙌❤🔥💯💛❤🖤
His kicking , his running , his tackling , his passing it is to good wow🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 he’s the best rugby player in the world

Should give rugby a go bro might fall in love with it like a lot of us do 👍
@@renegadeone2058 I'm 53. Rugby looks like a young man's sport. 😎☮️
@@ibnsabeel9466 ok 👍 be better just to watch then 😆
Ya he does have a good one, his speed both with legs & eyes are immense
@@ibnsabeel9466 it is quite physical, ya, stick with soccer, cricket or tennis, but you can still watch the pros every other week
Dmac has insane skills... his composure under pressure is insane.
My fave player from NZ to watch. You can't defend against pace, but he has every trick in the box too. Brilliant.
Expect the unexpected with this player, always fearful when he puts the black jersey on,respect from amabokke supporter
Best I've seen in quite a while. His attitude to playing rugby is phenomenal, I love it. Kiwi Eddie.
LETS GOO IM SO EXCITED HE IS MY FAVE RUGBY PLAYER
He's the most exciting and talented player I've ever seen. "The Goat"
I wouldn't say the GOAT, esp yet, but generally you look at no10 for that! But still very good
Kolbe?
Phenomenal player! Massively talented and has serious wheels. Watched him play for the AB's when they played England at Twickenham a few years back and he was a stand out player. Would be great to see him play in the English Premiership one day.
What is he playing right now, or what is this considered
@@stanleyepeagba604 Super rugby
love this player , the 2ND rocket pocket with berndt russell , fm france
Swear he’s got magnetic hands to the ball 🔥🔥🔥
Lets gooo!! Yessir bruh the real rugby 🏉 🔥🔥🔥

Plays like a mix of Jeff Wilson/Christian Cullen - fast, explosive, dynamic, unpredictable.
the best architect in the modern rugby 🏉
DMac has a game winning smile
2:16 loved that no. 11 passed it to dmac to put it down he knew it was his to score☝🏼🔥
Really good player
One of my favorite AB's.
That smile
That smile... that damned smile...
like kacey
Great video of a great player
My Goat🐐
Great balance and eye for teh gap...
Damn!!! He's like a freaking machine...🏉🏉🏉😈😈😈
NZ Rugby at its best Let's Go Chiefs 🔥🔥🔥
having him paired up with either mounga or beauden barrett are lethal
DMac is the hottest rugby player right now 💯🔥
Muy habilidoso , fuerte e inteligente ! 👍🏉
Not always the biggest players that are the best it’s the strongest players who stand out 💪🏻
The most exciting player in world rugby.
My Biggest rugby inspiration
Running for his life is McKenzie
Damian Mckenzie is The new "Christian Cullen".
Did Cullen kick?
@@akiladesilva7422 nnn....nope.
@@animekawaiichan9399 nothing like cullen. only thing similar is them being pocket rockets, he's similar to Brent Russell. didn't have his explosiveness and agility but was a better rounded player
@@toiletsmithy3630 well correction: He's basically Christian Cullen and Jeff Wilson combined. Do you agree?
@@animekawaiichan9399 Nothing like either tbh. Wilson was an elite speedsters with explosiveness outwide.

Damian McKinsey scores like every time almost every time when he gets the ball he scores a try
I can see him being a Steven Donald...at the latter stages of the rugby world cup..due to injury of the other two...I wouldn't be counting him out ...
14 - jordan , 15 - mckenzie for abs
Smilling Assassin
The great game of rugby there's a position on the pitch for every body shape and size 😎
Been thinking this for few years now . Dmac best player in the world
Dmac to the storm so good to watch
him & beauden should start at 15 and 10 respectively.
AB hass chance to go final again in rwc.
There is a bird in the islands , we call it a ( Kaleva ) that birds every where on the coconut tree or on the tree., That birds is faster to move every where.where . Even though some can climb up on a coconut tree in a raining day , we call this guy's a ( Kaleva ) Damian is a real ( Kaleva ) .👍👍👍
If you are good you are good
Need you in the warriors bro
I love the competition between Dmac and Jordie B
El talento rugbistico mas grande la ultima década!!!!!
Shout out to DMAC for making my Tab great
BOSS!!!
I love New Zeland
The GOAT
Buen video !!
7:52 the referee 💀😭😂
Dmac has won his place already to war the All Balck Jersey. IMO
MVP 2021 !
Considering his freakish ability to get the ball over the line when he has no right to do so, and his ability to beat a defender with agility or pure pace, it's awesome to see that his priority when he makes a break is always to draw the last defender and give a teammate an easy, guaranteed run in under the posts.
Mckenzie is the beast
He's not small
He is
Yea this ma boy 1 of the best
McKenzie over Barret any day of the week.
Yeah bro for sure 🔥
Best 10 in NZ .
Richie mo’unga is typing.....
@@Tobi64238 tell him to drop his weapons and show us his international spark
The size dont matter in rugby if you are small work to use this to your advantage
The maestro the Mac
His tackle on Naholo not included?
0:30 i reckon he's scored that
They awarded the try but his foot went out
@@peacepeace01 oh true aye. he did well to get that down tho
He is such an awesome player. Just one problem...he is not playing for the Springboks...
why would he wanna play for them? NZ are the greatest, and the black jerseys are the most significant
@@rileyfreeman9726 Maybe, but the Springboks did NOT lose to England in the World Cup 2019, bud. The WWE trophy is stil in sunny SA.

Damien McKenzie is born and breed in INVERCARGILL !! where The All Blacks are from 😉
Would’ve thought Cheslin Kolbe shut those size obsessed meat heads up for good last World Cup,and oh yheeeeyi D-Mac!🤩🔥
Please share the name of songs in video, atleast the second one.
5:13 nice
DMac is the man
Great player
Song of video? Plis
Love mckenzie
Bro he is awsome Merlin McKenzie 🙏🤜🤛👍😉
Shoutout to the garbage call in the first 30 seconds of the video where the crusaders got that try... load of crap lol
Staring All Blacks 15
still cant believe they gave that try to the crusaders
Have you done a mantage of Beauden Barrett?
2:42 is objectively funny
How tall is damian mckenzie?
5"9
81 kg ..far too small for international top northern French and irish sides..pure lightweight..Will b found out in defence...
Is he the Steph Curry of rugby?
A player of modest size who can throw it down with the bigger blokes? Probably more like Muggsy Bogues
how tall is he?
5"9
That nice referee's obstruction on the last try 🤔
Nope. The referee has to stand somewhere. The player needs to move and try to tackle him, he was milking the penalty
このレベルでNZ代表レギュラー定着できんからなレベル異次元だろ
What position does he play
Mainly full back, sometimes fly half.
Qu’il vienne au Stade Toulousain!!
I think had dm not had that injury ahead on the 2019 world cup they'd have won it comfortably. I'm welsh by the way before people pile on i'm being partisan. The all blacks looked imperious with him & beauden barret running riot.
Dude got used to when hit by Pacific islanders players.
DMac is box office in an era of dull League-style impenetrable defenses and endless scrum resets.
Eminem relaps 3
Faf de klerk is only 1,7
He wasn't big enough at 1:49
I'm not that big, but tall & slow, page is the worst thing to play against, esp on a large field, & not just in rugby
