BRUTAL!!! Sonny Bill Williams makes a massive hit on Ryan Kankowski

[44redman1]

im sorry but everytime i watch this video i laugh my ass off at the commentry

stars off with an englishman sounding posh and sincere about the severity of the situation and then turns into a kiwi (marshall?) sounding overexcited and dialing down the offense

[TheKuhz]

fucken pommys are bitches. waaahwaah that was a cheap shot. its wat u call a tackle u panzies

[tumbipanther]

How was it a chep shot lol. He put his sholder into his chest and the pussy ran at him with his head down. Learn to take a hit you Rugby panzies!

[44redman1]

@tumbipanther says the guy who isnt a pro rugby player

[tumbipanther]

@44redman1 BUT I AM, I PLAY FOR THE NAPIER SHEEP FUCKERS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAA BAAAAAAAAAA

[44redman1]

@tumbipanther *SMILE AND NOD*

[tumbipanther]

@44redman1 Good, good. Another enlightened one".

[KOVILINJO]

rugby union sucks :D

[MrMarnus1990]

oh so you dont know any thing about rugby or reading shame! must be mommy's special kid... grow a pear!!!!

[MrMarnus1990]

what a cheap shot... fucking panzy!!!

[butio007]

@MrMarnus1990 ...IS IT Mrfuckmyanus 1990?? hahaha..FANTASTIC SHOT..TOUGHEN UP YOU POMMY BASTARDS :P

[butio007]

excellent hit!!...NEED MORE OF THESE TYPES OF HITS IN EUROPEAN RUGBY..SHOULD TOUGHEN THEM UP!!..hehe

[groovomatik]

@butio007 these tackles are from and for bitches!!! You don't know what a real tackle is, and european rugby is the best tackling!!!!

[butio007]

@groovomatik ...HAHAHA...WHATS MATTER YOU POOFTA CAN'T HANDLE A LITTLE NUDGE??..COME DOWN TO NZ AND SEE REAL MEN PLAY THE GAME!!

[CrazeKillen]

League is stupid! thats why the world cup plays union.

[LeonidasPule]

that's gotta hurt lol

[R3D3Y3DMAORI]

My shoulder was there he just ran into it :D

[aseroxmilez]

this just clearly shows what a wimp of a sport union is. in League the person who got hit would stand back up and play the ball, not stay on the ground crying.

[Olyy]

@aseroxmilez He did get up, the commentators say so at the end of the video. He can't just stand up in the middle of a bloody ruck.

[bigalhouk]

league styles , i still do it a bit when playing rugby and get a little rest in the bin for it



[qldbaby]

good hit get up ya muppet

[kota2375]

when i see some comments, i am wandering. if those guys have play rugby or know any rules at all

[abbotluv]

Fucking sonny bill should move back to league

[fuckisnathan]

how is that a cheap shot? shit house union players cant take a hit

[djm281287]

@BlairNos And I wouldn't even be down K road as your mums so full of diseases I wouldn't even touch her with a stick. Only the scum of Auckland would go near her in their most desperate cases, just to get their fix to keep them going. You've probably inherited them too so I'm sure your walking AIDS, scumbag. HAHAHAHA

[TrollinTeddy]

in union its a dog shot. in league its a beaut hit

[prrquaa]

if kankowski did that to sbw then he would gotten a nice 9 week suspension

[jamie4570]

Stuart Barnes is a bell-end of the highest order.

[KnightsInfinity]

that is the main problem with most players who switch from league to union.. hard to break old habits.

[djm281287]

@BlairNos To say a comment like that it sounds as though your quite interested in cock sucking. Your probably one of those Fafa's they have on K road so I'm sure your very familiar with sucking cock HAHAHAHAHAHA!.

[JonnieGraham]

league is for dumb niggas

[2SXC2H8]

lol union, shithouse sport. League is miles better

[AllEyesOnMe08]

Forgot wat code he was playing

[Foxtonked]

All these SA haters should chill out a bit, let's be honest, Kankowski's shit! He's hardly representative of the national team!

[SuckOnDeezeNutz]

HAHA laughing at all the haters! Nothing wrong with the tackle. Looked alright:) cheap shot? lmao up to you commentator haha!

[geezyoursoft]

listen to the caller...ooohhh cheap shot.....get fucked...just a good hit

[UHtiger]

F@@k rugby can be soft sometimes. Nothing wrong with that

[slickageshoes]

bunch of amateur loving amateurs.

professional rugby league is way better

[ceLert87]

South Africa can't handle that kind of shoulder charge from SWB. No why in hell they can handle playing rugby league with New Zealand Kiwis & Australian Kangaroos! England well on the other hand all talk no action.

[aseroxmilez]

@ceLert87 bro south africa sucks at League hahah they got smashed by the Americans for crying out loud.

[xWAKEMAN94x]

what's the song in the background?

[dirty8rule]

cheap shot what ever cunt



[ThatBigRugbyKid]

haha, why aren't shoulders allowed in union?xD I destroy people with mine, then again, i play league. :3

[jimbobz07]

to all of you with your heads half way up his arse , type in sonny bill williams v stirling mortlock ...

[djm281287]

Sonny Bill Williams = an overrated pussy coconut fag with no brain, i'd love to see him try that on Bakkies Botha or Pierre Spies or even Beast

[southzak]

@djm281287 u obviously havent seen any ov his rugby league fans fuck head

[djm281287]

@southzak And you obviously can't spell you fuck head, so I suggest you go back to school you muppet. I bet your a tiny scrawny piece of shit.

[ceLert87]

@djm281287 well that person you just called coconut fag. He just won RWC finals couple of months ago. So what have you achieve in your life time huh ?? i guess nothing. Well SWB will smash Bakkies Botha & Pierre Spies you faggot! SWB was playing rugby league before he switch codes. Telling you know league is alot harder than union.

[djm281287]

@ceLert87 Ok mate, for starters you can't speak English to save your life. Secondly, I respect the All Blacks, but no way would I even support SBW. You asked what have I "achieve" in my life? I think you meant, what have I "achieved" in my life. To answer that question, I have a Bachelors degree, and i'm assuming you left Secondary school before you turned 15? By the way, I don't think SBW could smash anyone, all he smashes is fat pieces of sh*t in a ring and calls himself a boxer...haha!

[BlazeZanite]

First of all Football(soccer) Is a pretty high contact sport unless the teams playing are eighter sht or like barca but the fact is just cause they lay on the ground trying to get the tackler a yellow card dosent mean their pussies.. If a football player (american football) would take a hit like that without all that protection on hed be crying like a baby.. But rugby.. Rugby is for men :o

[dirty8rule]

thats whats wrong with rugby it's getting to much like soccer now shit game

[z0mgrugbyreturns]

Embarrasing for Rugby that this is considered "massive". In League and NFL it would be consider completely standard.

[tommy2pie]

thats how they hit in league, safas wouldnt know what a hard tackle feels like

[hemhemimakatekobum]

Why is this an illegal tackle? I love Rugby but damn it seems like it's gone soft and I've seen a hell of a lot worst tackles than that

[suricate9600]

@hemhemimakatekobum

when you make a tackle, you have to at least try to get your arms around the player you tackle and guide him to the ground. Here he made no effort to do that, so it was a bodycheck, and that's illegal

[hemhemimakatekobum]

@suricate9600 It probably didn't help that Carter tackle him first and made Kankowski drop a little bit but I still don't see what the problem is, aren't you suppose to hit with your shoulder? it wasn't high so I don't see why it should be deemed an illegal tackle

[hemhemimakatekobum]

@anfoneezy Yeah I get what you mean but if SBW was on offense and did the same thing wouldn't it be a bunt because he's got the ball in his hand?

[anfoneezy]

@hemhemimakatekobum well, if he was attacking, he has no mobility of his arms cause off the ball, thus the shoulders are in play.

[simaksnz]

Booooom headshot.

[tombojombo]

Would love to see Sonny Bill back in League. Least he won't get penalised for making tackles.

[fellXhouseXranger]

@tombojombo

he is going back to league next year...to the roosters i think

[kaezer2]

@fellXhouseXranger I heard the same thing over Xmass, wether its the Rosters or anyone els,at least hes back in the code he belongs.

[tumbipanther]

@tombojombo You will be pleased to know that his just sighned with the Roosters then :)

[tcsonline]

Cheap shot lol ? It's a fucking mans sport ... oh wait this is Union, not league..

[ScottishIron]

@tcsonline fucks sake, they are practically the same sport, it pisses me off that theres a divide between League and Union, i love both because they are both Rugby.

[tcsonline]

@ScottishIron .. practically the same sport.. only completely different. One sport, they aim aim to score tries.. the other they play for penalties and drop goals. Yawnion has nothing on League..

[ScottishIron]

@tcsonline They aim to score tries in both sports, but its more difficult in union. Drama and excitment is still created through 3pointers, and when a try is scored in Union its all the more impactful. I love both, i just find Union more entertaining and intense. Completely different is also a massive overstatement, the only real differences are the rucks/5tackles and the point system.

[GpmNZ89]

@tcsonline They're two different sports and yes in union it is a cheap shot. I could easily argue that league is a meathead's game given the lack of tactics and hit up after hit up structure, but fact is I love watching both games. I'm guessing unions a little too complex for your brain to handle so perhaps just stick to league

[tcsonline]

@GpmNZ89 .. lack of tactics in league? hahahah.. obviously a little too complex for your brain to handle.

[GpmNZ89]

@tcsonline Relative to union there is a lack of tactics, as I said i enjoy both. I like how you came up with an original argument though....

[tcsonline]

@GpmNZ89 .. Just pointing out that ur wrong. The only reason why Yawnion has more tactics is because they have more aspects of the game e.g. Line outs, scrums where you pack it 12 times to blow a penalty and rucks.

[TheAtheistAussie]

That's Sonny's favourite move after they have had their first collision he comes in with the shoulder to finish them. It isn't really a fair tackle, but it's entertaining none the less.

[canunotg]

@TheAtheistAussie Mate it's not only after the first tackler makes contact... he shoulder barges one on one.. ala against Clinton. You haven't seen his hit against canberra that was rated 'hit of the year' either.

[TheAtheistAussie]

@canunotg Nah Iv'e seen heaps of his good hits, I'm a Bulldogs supporter he was playing for Bulldog for a while and i saw him make some massive 1 on 1 hits. But a lot of times he does the shoulder barge after the dude escapes 1 tackle and doesn't see it coming.

[BlurryLeeThaL]

Go back to league!!

[cadelaide]

If anything they should allow shoulder charges in union

[wemorris1001]

Why is it that in league that is seen as a brilliant tackle but in union the commentators cringe and the ref gives the player a yellow card?

[ZuoLuoT]

@wemorris1001 This is in no way a "brillant tackle". I'm talking about what SBW does here. It's a shoulder charge, it's illegal, and clearly deserves a yellow card. When you tackle an opponent, you cannot make contact above the shoulders. And you must bring your opponent down to the ground. The rules should be the same in league or union...

[wemorris1001]

@ZuoLuoT Me and you look at rugby in very different ways.

[nofacehobo]

what a pussy sport

[funkyshizzle]

@nofacehobo YOU MAD BRO?

[nofacehobo]

@funkyshizzle nah

[GolfTutorials]

@funkyshizzle he just unhappy cos he plays NFL :/ sorry for him

[ollie082]

YELLOW CARD?? THATS WHY RUGBY UNION IS FOR LADIES!! COME BACK TO LEAGUE SONNY

[namoop21]

@fuzzman28 - your narrow mindedness is not witty or funny. In what way is league for bogans? I'm sick and tired of rah rahs sticking it to league when union is perhaps one of the most boring games conceived by man kind. It is inherently dull. I would honestly not be able to tell you the last time I watched a 'gripping' game of rugby that didn't ride on the result of a penalty goal or field goal.

[MrSAKID]

Sonny bill- a true Bitch



[GuitarProNZ]

POI E !!!!!!!!!

[BenNBenInc]

i know i'm going to get a arguement going but its shit that you can't shoulder charge in Union, and i have played both codes! i like league better but im a better union player, but still, they should legalise shoulder charging:))

[GiefGoldPlx]

@BenNBenInc How about no? Union already has a sky-high injury rate at the breakdown, legalising shoulder charging would only lead to even more injuries.

[JohnyTuff1]

@GiefGoldPlx You're just scared you fucken' pussy! They dont cause injury BTW, so thats a bullshit excuse! Go play soccer if your scared and dont want to get hurt!

[GiefGoldPlx]

@JohnyTuff1 Erm, which is the most popular form of rugby? Yeh I thought so. Go play your league in northern England, southern Auckland and NSW.

[serikawik]

@BenNBenInc more entertaining but again whats the point when all of your players end up injured

[BenNBenInc]

@serikawik can always make more...;)

[Shaftsus]

That was gutless, anybody can do that - just stand up and put your shoulder pads into someone's face while they are already going down. I have no respect for a player who does that, just tackle properly and put your body on the line, don't pussy out by not committing to it and sticking a shoulder into his face. Like I said, fucking gutless.

[chewblued]

@Shaftsus

Not as gutless as gouging someone's eye out or stamping on them in a ruck you tit. SBW is not a dirty player. He's never been a dirty player. What he does he does upfront, in your face. He;s not some fucking pussy union cunt who stamps on players while they're on the floor or sticks fingers in eyes..gutless?? He'd fucking knock you into next week and he's do it while looking at you straight in the eyes

[Shaftsus]

@chewblued What he did there was dirty he shoulda committed himself to the tackle - and yeah obviously he would knock me out, but he'd knock you out too lol I don't know what you're trying to get at. He didn't commit to that tackle at all and that was gutless, especially since he ended up injuring the player. And I don't know why people always diss R union or league - they're both the same game with different rules seriously get a life mate. Oh yah and like I said, fucking gutless.

[DubstepMr]

always be yourself, if not be sonny bill, always be sonny bill

[HermMclusky]

yeah unions soft, they should allow Shoulder charges to the head.. safest way to go i think.

[AugustJMR]

LOL sonny smashed him.

[immortalhenry1]

fuck the commentators, thats not a cheap shot and it wasnt on the jaw.. harden the fuck up

[14houghton91]

nothing wrong with that, soft union lot

[nicknj80]

Nothing wrong with that. Bit embarrassing being pulled up for hitting too hard.

Sbw and quade cooper will soon be mixing it with real athletes.

[SupahStrike]

The league coming out in him.

[chewblued]

Union pussy..'ooh, it's gotta hurt'..fuckin' old women..league's for tough, fast men..union's for fat, old men

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@chewblued No mate....a big tackle is a big tackle, I fucking hate shoulder charge 'shots'. No skill at all. By the way I'm a league man and when this happens to me I'm all elbows and knees for the next cheap shot cunt.

[htowndubcity]

@LunchtimeLoonies harden up if you get hit with a good shot dont go solking take it like a man put a hit on yourself game is getting to soft

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@htowndubcity A shoulder charge is not an attempt at a tackle. No skill involved.

[bobbynerf54]

Was that a yellow card

[HorssingIT]

I must admit rugby is an awesome sport esp since its RWC time. But league is tougher. 10 meter buildup runs into the opposition & extremely brutal hits with some junior clubs calling for 5 meter buildups instead of 10 because the big Poly boy builds up too much force. Also just look at how many boxing champions league has produced compared to rugby. Or look at the toughest school in N.Z, St. Pauls. Theyre the toughest & physically most gifted school around the world imo & they only play league.

[zebcarnell]

Pift and they call Union hard, bunch of panzies who think they can take the knocks....

[onmydick100]

THIS IS HOW YOU PROVE THAT NRL BOYS ARE MUCH TOUGHER THEN YOU UNION BOYS... WE HAVE TO COP THIS EVERY GAME WE PLAY UNLIKE YOU LITTLE GIRLS... HARDEN UP YOU BIG GIRL !!

[soapscaresme]

@onmydick100 nrl cant tackle that was a shoulder charge, you useless faggot

[fuzzman28]

@onmydick100 league is for bogans

[w4lyfb]

@fuzzman28 lol its the opposite i rekon

[cod272]

@fuzzman28 So Sonny Bills is a bogan?

[shaveyourfingers]

'methodical'? More 1 densional. You run 5 times and then bomb on the 6th hoping for the opposition to fumble and then pounce on the loose ball for a try. Its a physical version of touch. And how is league the superior game? Your WC is rubbish & the NRL is the only decent comp going on. How does that appeal to the masses? League will never take over, it will always be the little sister. And Ellis, well he was pretty average in both codes. He said so himself. I wouldnt go on his word.

[spartanchipmunk]

how about both spots are good, just have different ways of playing and different rules, the real pussy sport is NFL, rugby is rugby, no pads, no helmet, just u, ur shirt and ur team....

[hypdoutness]

That's a cheap shot he reckons,complete bullshit!!! Go Sonny!!

[SuperRoostersfan]

that is a league star union is for losers

[mutzigmorzine]

@SuperRoostersfan Both sports are awesome, quit pointlessly claiming one's better. Grow up.

[TheDutchington]

born to play rugby league!!!

[smaashh93]

sonny bill williams - a true champion

[PazBANG]

@ BKsMassive

You are a fucking idiot!!

You say "league is a sport of skinny kids throwing themselves at each other and kicking on 4th down"

^ thats NFL, you fucking retard...

[marszxc]

@PazBANG

I believe those are argument and literary tools called sarcasm and mockery. By not being able to understand such basic insults, you have proven yourself to be a bigger idiot.

[Bbreezy6]

yeah umm thats every tackle in league and union commentator goin on like WAATA HIT pfft pussies

[eccylfc10]

BRUTAL my arse thats an average rugby league tackle

[1tankkan1]

stuart barnes is a shit commentator. as for the hit, i loved it and wish this type of tackling was legal in union. also goes to show how tough NRL/Super league players are as they take these hits as the norm!

[ThePuns69]

hows that a 'cheap shot' as said by this wanker of a commentator? it's called a SBW shoulder Charge you wimp!!!

[drivendeadssvegeta]

@ThePuns69 I believe the correct term is called 'Sony Billed' lol. And yea your right, iv'e seen hits 10X bigger in Union itself and those were considered 'Average'. A really good commentator would say something like 'nice to see them getting to know each other...' or something. Not make a drama out of it.

[chewblued]

@drivendeadssvegeta

League's had 'hits' for the last 25 years but as ever union feels the need to borrow the term as their players feel like women compared to league hard men. And the idea that any hit in union compares to hits in league is simply foolish in your heart you know that to be true

[drivendeadssvegeta]

@chewblued typical australian? why are you so stuck up like you've got a pole up ur a55 or something. "League's had 'hits' for the last 25 years" !??!? Rugby originated in England during the early 19th century O.o (in case you're so fascinated with meaningless historical statements.

"but as ever union feels the need to borrow the term as their players feel like women compared to league hard men" ... Fail Engrish

Lastly, I NEVER compared League/Union you JEJUNE! Go neck yourself.

[tontuku77]

Pommy commentators got no clue, almost as bad as oz rugby ones

[THEgamefreak274]

He's falling as he gets hit and the "NH commentator" says it's a cheap shot? wtf?! NH commentary take a bow. Excellent commentary. Bravo :/

[JazaM3316]

Ahahahah Weak how is that a cheap shot, grow a pair.

[TL1ER]

fuck rugby union is gay. how is that a cheap shot? its footy!!

[LeagueIsLife]

@TL1ER

Too right! Well said.

[Mvenven]

@TL1ER are u serious it is a shoulder to the face!!!

[TL1ER]

@Mvenven another union pussy 

[nicknj80]

What was wrong with that tackle!!!?

Embarrassing.

[immortalhenry1]

id get a broken jaw lmao

[MrValpo95]

that's gotta hurt! lol

[fkreligion]

Yeah Sonny. And Fuck the commentators.

[akcabrera08]

Great hit, should be legal

[AnAtheisticAbomb]

Ive been a fan of both codes for a long time, played both too.

League is better to watch, union is better to play. Both have pros and cons.

IE: no shoulder charges in union, 3 point penalties and field goals make it shit to watch

bad scrums in league is about all you can say that is stupid with the sport, that and the insane speed the game is palyed at,

[supersaiyanmofo]

Scrums in Rugby League... whats the point... they might as well just do away with the scrum & just take the tap.... cos in league who ever is feeding the ball will win the scrum 100% of the time. Just another stupid thing about a stupid game.

[SpiritMan00]

hahaha were they English commentators??... friken Poofters!!... toughen up mate!.. that hit would be acceptable in rugby league though....

[UfaaNz]

i get hit like that every lunchtime haha toughen up england :/

[newlandsfaithful]

Cheap shot

[sydneymassive]

What the fuck is wrong with that?

[leredsock]

@sydneymassive shoulder charging is illegal in union.

[sydneymassive]

@leredsock That's why I watch league.

[leredsock]

@sydneymassive oh.... *taps nose*

[BKsMassive]

@leredsock

League is just a load of skinny fuckers throwing them self's as each other. and on the 4th down the kick the ball away. The whole game is predictable. Union you can Shoulder ram people but you have to at least make the effort to put your hands around them and after take them to the ground.

But if your a 300lb+ Prop in union you will knock them the FUCK OUT!

[scyther199]

The guys at the NHL would be proud of this hit or "check" :)

[whozyou42]

still got that league shoulder sonny. cant use that bro haha

[shanontamahau]

Soft allright. Bring back the biff

[SuckOnDeezeNutz]

You commentators are soft lmao!

[KlonoaPSX]

I like it when Justin commentates over the poms

[NFORSA]

always hard to drop a nasty habit. - nice though :)

[foges001]

a shoulder charge although fun to watch is a ineffective tackle when compared to a dominant tackle

[Henry1993bc]

@foges001 not if you hit them in the face, pahaha

[DROWNlNGTADPOL3]

no shoulder charges is the worst rule in rugby

[auso824]

@DROWNlNGTADPOL3 yeah i no aye it sucks and yellow cards they shuld

b put on report like league does

[patali09]

fuckin softcock sport

[thecallan008]

@patali09 Rugby isnt a sofcock sport you downsyndrome. Does SonnyBill have to stab him to prove that?

[patali09]

@thecallan008 I'm saying it's a softcock sport because he got yellowcarded for a little lovetap

[UrbanRedBull]

@patali09 haha your an idiot, need a gas chamber for you and your family.
