[hanros98]

nonu and sivivatu make a good team 

[fr0si0n]

nonu with a try! nonu witha try! NONUU WITHA MOTHER FUCKING TRY!!

[rugga]

@fr0si0n Cool commentary aye, lol

[carrally13]

@rugga The commentary is awesome

[tusupu]

what is the name of the second song??

[rugga]

Rollin by Limp Bizkit

[hawkeye1968yea]

@tusupu are you kidding?...

[oocdbrown]

1.43, no try, looses the ball, it's in the SM.

[rugga]

Clear try. I suppose its one of those ones where you see what you want to see...

[nickojb7]

@rugga well said

[BroomeBlocker4]

Yeah pause it at 1:51 you see it is a clean try, downward pressure hand still on the ball. The only thing you could say is he was luck the corner post was already leaning over or he would of touched it before he put it down

[pattersoon]

i just noticed, in most of nonus trys, sitiveni sivivatu has usually been there, either making the break or passing it to nonu. mauger sucks, im glad he went

[InQuietnessAndTrust]

good insight pattersoon - Sivivatu is the gel holding all of the all blacks' magic together

[jhotdogg]

tana's clone

[patergaskin]

Do kiwis prefer Nonu at 12 or Mauger?

From a Saffa perspective, Nonu can be very effective. Maybe not as skilled as Mauger, but very abrasive and a natural try scorer. Good player, very dangerous on attack.

[brickjake99]

thats a stupid question 'nonu or mauger' mauger was so useless it made me mad when he was picked over nonu, anyone with half a rugby brain would know that nonu was a more effective TRY SCORER, i used to hate seeing mauger cough up so many tries, u do the math, i wonder how many tries nonu has compared to mauger?

[nickojb7]

Nonu i reccon, he can't really kick...But he makes up for it with his running and heavy hits.

[cosma038]

I Prefer nonu hes a big part of our winning game! and we need something against the south africans coz u guys got an amazin 1 to 15. Respect the steyns and du plessis

[conoriscool123]

He did very little against the wallabies.

[rugga]

Apart from two massive hits on Berrick Barnes that shut Berrick down for the rest of the game.

[cosma038]

and he skooled aussie last nite ahaha

[cosma038]

nonu with a majestic try!!!!

[RedBullgivYaWings]

Yeah, I personally didnt see the French vs New Zealand game but I heard he didnt go so well. Im a Aus fan but I hope he play's more better in next weeks game in nz vs aus, his a good guy.

[rugga]

He wasnt up to his devastating best, but was nowhere near the worst.

[gmactera]

lolz at the amateur commentary

[hakametal]

Check out "ARC Commentary"

Its genuine fucking hilarious!! lol

[yaz044]

if you are a kiwi and a dickhead then yeh it is. if not look elsewhere.....

[hakametal]

seriously bro, get that tampon thats stuck up ur arse out coz its makin u hostile!!! LMAO

hahaha dick

[cosma038]

nonu will shred up anyone

[hulkblack89]

hes even way better this year..hes fitness and determination is even better ..cant wait for this weekends game against france.. go king ma'a!!

[Tehui1974]

Nonu really did have an outstanding year in 2008.

[rugga]

He certainly did, and the best thing is hes improved even more this year.

[AndrewNZ1234]

Man did you speak too soon! Ma'a was shocking against the French last weekend, possibly one of the worst on the field.

[rugga]

Speak to soon?

Hes had a great year, top try scorer in the super14, busting defences up all over the place. Its true he didnt have a great game on Satnight, but he was hardly the worst.

Those honours go to Donald, Tialata, Messam and easiest the worst on the field was undoubtably Isaia Toeava, shocking game.

[AndrewNZ1234]

He was the top try scorer, though this year's S14 failed to impress really. He certainly didn't carve up to get the top try scorer honour. I mean, when you think about Rico Gear's top try scoring year in 05, he was on fire. Ma'a has just been solid for his (and only managed 9, which isn't that amazing)

Messam and Toeava were worse, true. There's no chance I'd say Donald was. More a victim of shit delivery from a forward pack going backwards and a misfiring halfback in Cowan.

[rugga]

Failed to impress? Watch his games vs Canterbury, the stormers and more specifically against the brumbies, he carved up Mortlock, made him his personal lap dancer.

A misfiring halfback is normally due to a misfiring forward pack, which generally filters throughout the whole backline.

[AndrewNZ1234]

I watched all these games. The game against the Stormers I'm inclined to agree with. Against the Brumbies he looked ok, but I can't agree that he outplayed Mortlock that badly.

I can only hope we manage to sort out some issues tomorrow and it really has to start up front. Makes you wonder what happened to hardened, no bullshit forwards when you see the way our boys play. We need some more Kees's, Olo's and Zinny's to set us straight (Hore and Williams are a good start, though injured)

[rugga]

The brumbies game when Nonu broke straight through Mortlocks 1 on 1 tackle, leaving him strewn on the ground, and then set up tamati Ellison for a super try was my favourite moment from this year Super 14.

[rugga]

Regarding the initial statement, he has improved significantly this year, his passing has been probably the biggest improvement, and accurate decision making has also been a large part of his improvement this year.

Enjoy the game tommorrow night, expect a marked improvement from the boys.

[davelifely]

not a team in the world wouldnt want him

[connor0O0O]

such a great player best 2nd 5 in the world atm!

[nickojb7]

nonu = animal!

whats with the commentary though? ha ah

[Herromanii]

What a Beast

[dot2dot67]

nonu stole one from smith hahaha

[Herromanii]

Yeah Lol

[wavecrashes]

KING MA'A !!!!

[Lolenberries]

Nonu is a great player, but joe rokocoko has lost his touch.. he's not as good now..

[kaito11]

i absolutely agree with you !!

[rugbyfreak100]

1:50

cant believe that was given a try

not even the slightest amount of downward pressure

wouldnt have made any difference in the end though

[rugga]

Are you kidding? Let me guess, Australian?

[kiwi031]

Ha yeah it does look suspect. I would have thought he knocked it on. However I think the ref asked 'is there any reason I cannot award a try?" which is not the same as the usual "try/no try". With the former, the TMO needs clear evidence of i think things like offsides or foul play. Not knock ons tho...

[sonofahitch]

??

You dont need downward pressure...

[Archidawg]

Is slow-motion too fast for you?

[rugby12345abcde]

how's about the run from kevin mealamu and 2:51. the most dynamic hooker in the game hands down.

[hanros98]

@rugby12345abcde love mealamu, made toby flood look like a fool

[dadubs93]

look go to 2:21 guy left of the post , number 5 thats paul o'connell

[dadubs93]

no rugga, im not putting down nonu, i think hes a great player , or bigging up my own country but that second try he scored he should of been tackled by paul o'connell but stupidly he was left on even though he couldnt walk after recieving a knock on the knee

[rugga]

Nonu would have fended off o'connell had he attempted the tackle anyway.

9 times out of 10 when a try is scored someone misses a tackle somewhere, so by your logic most trys are lucky?

[dadubs93]

No rugga, lets face it if your a professional rugby player , your going to be decent at tackling its more like 9 times out of 10 tackles are made. by your apparent logic, trys would be scored every minute.

[rugga]

Dadubs93, my points obviously gone straight over your head. Of course 9 times out of 10 tackles are made in a game.

Im talking soley about try scoring movements in a game, most tries involve a missed tackle somewhere in that phase of play.

[dadubs93]

ah ok mate. dont get me wrong im not putting down the player he seems great.

[jonconlon]

Was the song Woman about the eye liner wearing Nonu meant to be ironic?

[rugga]

Haha, someone finally got it.

Plus it mixes well :)

[dadubs93]

that irish try he got was lucky, the mud did all the bloody work. from an Australian perpective living in england. i can safely say England and Ireland are the strongest in the northern hemisphere, and i hope australia gives them a good go, because at the moment both of them are on form and seem to be hungry

[rugga]

You're talking about his first irish try I take it? His second try against ireland, in ireland was spectacular,

England on form? Not at the moment. :)

[brotsy]

you can fell horsepower from this vid..shame about the quality

[rugga]

Yeah, it was the only footage i could get.

Had to get it up though!

[mitche1987]

fuckin hilarious commentary

[kagezou2]

lmfao fake commentating 'heres the australian fuk ' nonu is the best!!

[linebacker054]

haha when does he say that i cant hear it

[rugga]

Listen from about 1.05

[emiKKKs]

[rugga]

The songs called Woman, and its by Wolfmother.
