Brisbane Global Rugby Tens - A Viral Masterpiece

We attended the Brisbane Global Rugby Tens, enjoyed a few cold ones and knee slapped our way through some massive hits, running rugby and great tries.

Now that the dust has settled & heatstroke subsided, we can take a look back at some of the memorable moments from the inaugural Brisbane Global Rugby Tens. There were enough viral clips to keep a snapchat hungry teenager entertained for  more than a few minutes. Here are some of the best:

Even at 40 years old, Radike Samo can still hit harder than a Bighorn Mountain Sheep.

Live commentary may not be Digby Ioane’s ‘thing’,  but stepping and speeding certainly are. 

Thongan Thor doesn’t care if you have 45 All Blacks Caps. He also doesn’t care if he gets cited for headbutting. Watch that temper big fella.

Aussie fans look away now. Robbie Deans is doing some stellar work at the Panasonic Wild Knights.

Rugby needs more vibe masters. Jackpot Potgieter getting the players psyched pre-game.

Not one for the squeamish. Thankfully the morphine did the job and he was dabbing his way to the hospital.

Scott Robertson responds to criticism over All Blacks' handling errors

I thought we made a lot of progress against that type of defence by the WC last year. Lots of direct running and punching holes rather than using width. Against that type of defence I think you have to be looking to kick on first phase when you have front foot ball which we did relatively successfully. We are playing a lot of rugby behind the gain line at the moment. They are looking for those little interchanges for soft shoulders and fast ball or off loads but it regularly turns into them battering away with slow ball and going backwards, then putting in a very rushed kick under huge pressure.


JB brought that dimension when he first moved into 12 a couple of years ago but he's definitely not been at his best this year. I don't know if it is because he is being asked to play a narrow role, or carrying a niggle or two, but he does not look confident to me. He had that clean break on the weekend and stood there like he was a prop who found himself in open space and didn't know what to do with the ball. He is still a good first phase ball carrier though, they use him a lot off the line out to set up fast clean ball, but I don't think anyone is particularly clear on what they are supposed to do at that point. He was used really successfully as a second playmaker last year but I don't think he's been at that role once this year. He is a triple threat player but playing a very 1 dimensional role at the moment. He and Reiko have been absolutely rock solid on defence which is why I don't think there will be too much experimentation or changes there.
