The Second Greatest Moment in Rugby History

[diabolomike]

I could watch this all day... Beautiful.

[sidsa9]

I stared at Lewsey in a pub in Richmond once trying to work out whether it was him or not.... he noticed.... I haven't been back to England since

[ThatDrummerT]

Wrecked his shit

[tayloralastair]

"He's a pretty tough character Matt Rogers, he'll get back up" Hilarious!!!

Petercumming, you're so right!

[hansmelb]

it's coz aussies are fucking tough and get on with it

the country where you call your best friends 'cunts' and your enemies 'mates'

<3 Australia

[MNightTomalan]

I love how the Aussie commentators are just laughing at him writhing on the ground, most other commentators if it happened to one of their countrymen would be yelling "dangerous tackle" and try to take the morale high ground

[mcs1hr]

have you noticed the huge swatches of yellow in the crowd? The Aussies love dishing out the free yellow hats and scarves!

[xIWDxShadow]

I felt that... :P

[MrKelvincan]

This was the only time I remember a northern hemisphere team capable of out muscling the southern hemisphere three. This England team could really put it about.

[navnig]

@MrKelvincan I think Wales did a pretty good job on South Africa on sunday ;)

[THECHEESEYTV]

you gotta love how sympathetic the commentators are...

[ronniebooth81]

Obv 76 disgruntled aussies......FUCKING UNLUCKY ROGERS YA SAP!!

[hukles1]

@ronniebooth81 im aussie and im happy cause we have Sam Burges thank you england

[Applemask]

George Gregan getting picked up and placed into touch like a garden gnome in the 2003 final comes in third.

[mjribes]

@Applemask Boks wining the WC in 1995 come in first ;)

[TYwokki]

talk about a hospital pass!!

[Andy29295]

"the happiest man on the pitch after that is - writhing around on the ground how much pain can you be in." nice editing

[ljh878787]

that tackle broke Rogers' ribs

[djscully01]

BKsMassive. I agree that Wilko's drop goal is the best moment ever, but this is a different match. This is earlier in 2003 - before the RWC

[schwantz3434]

get in there josh!!!

[andrewglover6]

If this is number two what is number one? For me it will be David Kirk holding up the Webb Ellis Cup!

[kingdaniel69]

@andrewglover6 You've got a long memory.

[BKsMassive]

@andrewglover6

number one was also in that game

it was went jonny Wilkinson got a drop goal with 21 seconds left on the clock that won England the 2003 Rugby World Cup

[xjoshiemanx]

@BKsMassive nah that was a different match son. :L

[goedwards]

Nice one Josh ! The best possible response to an Aussie jersey-pull and "help me boys" flurry of punches.

[MKRM27]

"Could have gone either way" sounds like the cry of a loser!

[John303John]

Then the greatest moment in English Rugby history was that field goal? Since smashing Rogers was the second greatest then that kick must truly have been just a fluke. The rest of the game was a complete bore. Could have gone either way. Such a pity "kill the play stodge pudding nancies" didn't let the 0zzies play open Rugby like the free world do.

[nealstar2007]

dont get mad get even!!

[mootube6]

this is how real rugby players settle disputes instead of brawling.

[tguy32]

comon england!!!! aha

[jydaflyest]

Josh Lewsey was all up in Mr. Rogers' neighbourhood for sure!!

[125rugbyfanatic]

biggest testipop  at 0:09

[Justincredible9999]

Don't mess with lewsey he was in the army and as hard as nails. Cipriani found this out when he got in a fight with him in a training session! This is one reason why England won the world cup, they were tough! Toby Flood doesn't quite strike me as a hard man, get Manu in the squad!!!!

[ashleybewick]

second greatest moment in rugby history was Chris Ashton's try against the aussies in the Autumn Internationals in October 2010.

[tnsandland]

I could watch this a 1000 times!! Fuck the Aussie prick!!

[MrCasey94]

Not even close to the second greatest moment in rugby history...

[ounce2314]

The 2nd greatest moment in rugby history??? as if!! Why? cause it showed a England player can tackle lol England the most boring team in the world lol

[FuzzyArchAngel]

u fuck up mat rogers ill fuck u up

[maorigooner]

I enjoy watching an Ozzie get knocked on his arse as much as the next man but 'second greatest moment in rugby history' me thinks not!

[arff2003]

It was a terrific tackle, but hardly the second greatest moment in rugby history.

[overkillrick]

What game was this what year etc?

[UrharRar]

lol he got him back for the punch he gave him earlier, that was awesome, Josh Lewsey was/is a great player, Lewsey is an Irish name to ^^, I loathe Australians ;_;

[4054613]

@UrharRar Yeah tall poppy syndrome will do that mate. I will take pleasure in watching australia embarrass the irish at the world cup

[UrharRar]

@4054613 I despise Australians, bunch of fucking inbreds, with no culture they all are descendants from thieves and murderers ah ha ha ha cultureless inbred faggots

[4054613]

@UrharRar well with the healthies economy on the planet at the moment, great weather and the second highest standard of living on the planet, we've done well for a bunch of inbred convicts. Enjoy the rain, financial meltdown (known in ireland as potato famine part II) and this supposed culture you speak of. Getting drunk and beating on women is really something to be proud of. Maybe the lack of sun is making you depressed, but don't hate on an entire nation based on a few people you have met

[gnarkillkicksass]

@UrharRar I detect jealousy. Keep it coming mate!

[JustdidashitatPAULS]

Brilliant!

anyone tell me what match this was?, looks like the 2003 final but i dont recall this happening in that match

[auto98]

@JustdidashitatPAULS Can't be, looking at the time left and the score

[newland50]

I've seen Rogers play a lot of league and rugby union but don't recall him ever coppiing another shot remotely as good as this. Top hit, and I'd rather him than me.

[HolteEnder85]

A nice little rib tickler that was. :D

[99TheHero99]

HOSPITAL PASS

[adspad75]

Um, and 03 and 07 aren't in the past? hahahahahahahah too funny

[FrostiePM]

I fekkin LOVE this vid. Just makes me grin & grimace all at the same time. Absolutely the best way to hit back after a spot of niggle !

[adamcoates1994]

and great sportsmanship not to gloat

[TheSMonkhouse]

Great tackle in what was an epic game of rugby!  You have to hit big to keep Rogers down!

[pugsley141]

the English dominate the pussy Aussies at rugby.. 03 and 07 world cups any one?

[buckmehard94]

@pugsley141 have you seen the irb top nations of rugby atm? well you should have a look. the english are a good side, but not as good as australia.

[pugsley141]

@buckmehard94

That's what they always say.And every year the Aussies buckle and the English own them...

[buckmehard94]

@pugsley141 i do agree the english do do well in the world cup. but, saying australia buckle? look at nz, best team in the world and havent won a world cup in a while.

[qwerty158]

@pugsley141 ha! two world cup games that came down to a goal? please....

[adspad75]

@pugsley141 - 91 cup any one? And 2 cups to 1 mate - thats where it counts :)

[pugsley141]

@adspad75

LOOOL your still banging on about 1991? HAHAHAHA living in the past much

[Unclevodka]

@adspad75 your try in 91 shouldn't have been given. Rory underwood was obstructed.

[NZBaLLaR]

HAMMERED!!!!!!!!!!

[Petercumming]

The proverb; 'if you play with fire you are going to get burnt' springs to mind. BOOOM!

[wershenry]

love it when the commentator says " oh hes a pritty tough player he'll get back up" oh no he won't! I think it was two broken ribs hahaha

[kittenfish1984]

Oz scum! serves em right for the forward pass anyway!

[91truffles]

@kittenfish1984 wasn't forward

[drtyda]

lol a sheep joke your a fucking genius

[MrSyrett]

@drtyda - "You're" a genius too

[stubberz]

BOOOM RIB SHOT!!!!

[TCAunderdose]

@papahodgey lets see you out on the rugby field taking hits like that and see how quick you bounce back up!

[mbeast04]

sit down sir!

[kmotch]

Bang!!!

[willmo42]

matt rogers "hey coach ive started my period so i cant play YOU MOTHER FUCKER WHY DONT YOU UNDERSTAND... MY VAGINA HURTS!"... thats kinda how i see it lol

[UHtiger]

@willmo42 Lame!!!!

[papahodgey]

'.....he's writhing around on the ground, how much pain can you be in?' LMTO, we all love a big hit.!

[TheLFC69]

Haha good old Brit putting the ozzy convict in his place : )

[CrAZychicke]

holy crap that was a hard hit. 

[cubandaddy1000]

get up you pussy

[willmo42]

@cubandaddy1000 um if that was u or me that was hit then i would not get up for sure and i dont think you would either... lol

[cubandaddy1000]

@willmo42 would have sent him the wrong way with the flick of an eyebrow haha

[cubandaddy1000]

get up you pusssy

[shiggins316]

England suck balls. Fags.

[kingnichendrix]

@shiggins316 lol Sure they do :)

[Greenybull]

whos the commentator with half a voice

[56kmmatt]

forward pass at 0:17??? maybe its just the camera angle

[davieboy623]

@56kmmatt i don't think that's the point of the video mate

[Snookbone]

You can see just before he gets hit that Lewsey was gonna slam a bitch whether he had the ball or not...

[willmo42]

"oh hes a tough character he'll get back up"... the hell he will!!! other guy: "look at him on the ground oh! how much pay can u be in!"... bloody amazing tackle!

[willmo42]

wow thats just amazing but big tackles like this normally come wen the ball carrier has some sort of disadvantage... but still great tackle!

[SAMDARBY123]

I'm sorry, but the greatest moment in Rugby history was when Johnny Wilkinson scored the drop kick against Australia in 2003.

[danrox127]

@SAMDARBY123 Read the title.

[5009777]

I remember this. Didn't he break his rib or something? Good tackle, hard but fair.

[charliecolty]

BOOOOOOM!

[TooMujBaddas]

Shame awn rogers fr tawking smak to balshaw

[Yoshiko15]

is rugby is only for a specific type of people?

[gnash555]

@Yoshiko15

No, it's for piano lifters AND piano players!

Best team-game in the world.

[Skipper6161]

"He's a pretty tough character Matt Rogers, he'll get back up,"

Erm... No he won't

[avfc85]

@Skipper6161  LMAO

[aLyricleMiracle]

sweet fuckin dreams!

[rampantscotsman]

If only it was the other way round, then it would've been THE greatest moment in rugby!!!

[marmaduke9]

@rampantscotsman How'd you get on today jock?Fucking humiliated!!

[rampantscotsman]

@marmaduke9 haha very true. But then, we Scots expect to lose! So if we lose, we're happy and will be jovial in the pubs with opposition fans afterwards. If we draw, we'll be very happy and jovial in the pubs with opposition fans afterwards. But if we win - because it happens so rarely - we'll be buying rounds for the opposition fans in the pubs afterwards...

[marmaduke9]

@rampantscotsman If only that were true my scottish friend.

[rampantscotsman]

@marmaduke9 Damn, rumbled again! Yeah, it's gonna take more than just a Scottish victory to make any Scotsman part with his cash...

[marmaduke9]

@rampantscotsman Ha Ha, nice one.

[curlyies]

@rampantscotsman Gr8 moment saturday beating south africa? bet that got you to buy SOMEONE a pint! haha. I was prepared for Ireland to lose, unfortunatly. No drinks on me :(

[yakk999]

@rampantscotsman You guys are lovely.

[grandslam1998]

@rampantscotsman The Stots do not expect to lose. They play the game to win. Scots man buying beer for the opposition? You show a good loser and I will show you a loser.

[mmmbilly]

right in the breadbasket - take that you convict pussy!

[notenglishandproud]

of course to the vast majority of the worlds population it's more satisfying to see the english get bashed.

[marmaduke9]

@notenglishandproud Yet another celt wanker watching English videos.What the fuck is wrong with you sad cunts, that you have to watch us instead of being molested by your local priest.

[notenglishandproud]

@marmaduke9 ach fuck off grey pubes. retire early did we? fuckin useless sassenach.

[johnnyblaze454]

Rogers was the most overrated Wallaby ever, weakest link in defence and ball hog in attack

[2UP2DOWNX]

@darkarts59 oh ye im amazing on the rugby pitch ;)

[UHtiger]

Matt Rogers is still surfing so not too sure where your getting your info from. He was on a sports show this year having a friendly surfing comp against a pro surfer.

[kyberkhan1]

i dont understand this shit sports.how the english play this sports coz they are most civalized people..i think this is animal sports not human one..human sports are football cricket tennis etc...

[TheJhealey2]

@kyberkhan1 haha just coz ur soft

[TheBlitz666]

@kyberkhan1 pussying out much ? dont wanna diss other sports since i respect every sport,but this is a gentlemens sport.i agree it might be a lil bit more violent then football,but you get a thrill from it

[2UP2DOWNX]

its not the best ive seen much better by far! in fact this is kinda weak!

[darkarts59]

@2UP2DOWNX 'this is kinda weak' - you must be awesome on the rugby pitch then sweetheart.

[joncs3]

man anyone could have done that tackle. IT WAS A FUCKING HOSPITAL BALL!! If this was the other way round an english player wouldnt even try to catch it because they are pussies.

[rwalter23]

@joncs3 Pussies eh? The same "pussies" as you so imaginatively and "cleverly" put it, went onto to whoop the Wallabies in the RWC final in their own back yard a few months after this match. Your boy Rogers (who I loved as a league player but got found out in union) gave him a full swing which Lewsey took like a Trojan and then dumped Rogers' sorry backside on the ground. And you brand him and the rest of the English team "pussies"; remould! Aussies are terrible winners, and even worse losers....

[rwalter23]

@joncs3 .... and you sunshine are a perfect example.Grow up, be a man and take it on the chin, (a bit like Lewsey did). Ignoramus..... total ignoramus.......

[bloogy182]

my favourite thing about this is that apparently he broke some of mat rogers' ribs and they never healed properly so now he can't go surfing (which he loved) cos it hurts too much to lie down on the board! ha!!! he was such a twat. australia had much better and less obnoxious players than him

[jgrant1291]

@bloogy182 yeah that hilarious he cant surf anymore because he got a little angry in a rugby match

your a moron

[steveN111333]

Even the Oz commentators liked it !! LOL

[jonforduk]

Fucking have that!........... I remember my ribs hurting after watching that, but it was through laughing so much!

[easyp576]

good video

[tehbogieman]

Have some of that!!!!!

[timcarrdrums]

no greater tackle. ever.

[7dayspking]

@WTFisthisshit1 oi what the fuck is you're problem you're not saying matt rogers is a cockhead?? look at the cunt he was trying to start shit with tiquir last night the fucking dickhead and yes i did watch the league i don't love it but when theres afl and league what do ya choose i only h8 leaguies who can't shut the fuck up

[gbman69uk]

I love it when the Aussie sheep fuckers bite!

[7dayspking]

@gbman69uk ..... wow stupid prisoner clasic pommy talk your so fucking stupid you don't understand that newzealand is the land of the sheep you fucking retart and tbh i got nothing against them i think it's sad that you feel so insecure about fucking household animals in your home you have to say that every human in a country is a animal fucking

[gbman69uk]

@7dayspking ...hahahah I rest my case! I never mentioned New Zealand?? so are there no sheep in Oz? Pah!

[gbman69uk]

@7dayspking ahahaha I rest my case.....BAAAA BAAAA

[wassupyman220]

@gbman69uk oh god the name tasmania has given us :/

[420partyatmine]

@gbman69uk Aussie sheep fu*#ers? I think you are confusing the greatest race on earth with the kiwi's bro.

[TRiBUTE92]

@gbman69uk nz are the sheep fuckers buddy, get your info right

[kingnichendrix]

@TRiBUTE92 id like to see you say that seriously to a Nzlander

[TRiBUTE92]

[chrispools]

@WTFisthisshit1 Yaen ,yawn and yawn again. I dont know where you Aussie interbred fuckwits get this whinging pom thing from, cos all i here is you lot complaining all the time. Go back to your desolate land of ugly women and mongy looking fuckers. No wonder its the gay capital of the world the state of yer wmoen. PMSL.

[pterobsven]

@WTFisthisshit1 You gotta admit tho... darts is pretty fun when half pissed.

[jwbennett2]

@WTFisthisshit1 Australia: 17

Try: Tuqiri

Pen: Flatley (4)

England: 20

Try: Robinson

Pen: Wilkinson (4)

Drop: Wilkinson

[jwbennett2]

@WTFisthisshit1 blah blah blah... as Lewsey put it to Rogers 'sit down, Shut up'.

[gathyman]

@crazyboyxx If Australia only wins in the pool, why did we win the olympics in 2000? 4th in Athens? 6th in Beijing? Motorsports industry: v8 supercars is huge here, millions of $ every year put into it. Our economy was the 1st OECD economy out of the GFC, we had 17 years of consecutive growth until 1 quarter of 2009 where we only contracted -0.5%. It's a small economy, because we have a much smaller population than much of the OECD: when you look at it per capita we shit on most. Ignorant fuck.

[gathyman]

@crazyboyxx mark webber, wins the most recent grand prix. wow, awkward for you.

[gathyman]

And that is what we call a "hospital pass"

[brynjones11]

who is josh lewsey?

[kazooie123456]

@brynjones11 A Legend

[brynjones11]

@kazooie123456 obviously not considering ive never heard of him and that he played for england

[jwbennett2]

shut your pie hole kazooie . . . degenerate nation of criminals. Great england team there. Currently watching australia getting absolutely destroyed by the all blacks... its embarassing for you guys.

[brynjones11]

@jwbennett2 in what way is losing to the all blacks embarrassing?

"Equally tough character Matt Rogers"...Apart from Josh Lewsey that is.
