Doug Howlett - All Black Sprinter
Спорт
Doug Howlett was a fantastic athlete and was one of the top try scorers, not only for the All Blacks, but also in Super Rugby. His eye for a gap, acceleration off the mark and general skills made him a threat whenever he touched the ball. He was a brilliant wing and will be remembered as an all time great All Black.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Such a classy finisher. One of Aucklands finest products
Howlett, Lomu, Umaga, Cullen....it must have been so great to watch these guys - all legends now. Along with McCaw, Muliaina, Rokocoko, etc. Wow.

The ABS were on top it all was goldern in the 90s mid 2000s now I feel like it hasn't been the same & All Black's now have to many personalities and commercial hype around them Uncle Doug Lomu Cullen Umaga Etc all had character & heart ❤ 💙 💜 miss these Rugby days 💯🕯😓

Rupeni was the big star! Caucau!
One of the most elegant winger ever. From a french man.
Doug Howlett, what a bloody legend, I saw him playing against a South African super team one time, he copped a really dirty cheap shot over the sideline, it hurt him quite bad and sent him into a rage, the guy who did it got utterly smashed in 2 ferocious tackles within a few minutes of each other, it was the best retribution on a rugby field I've ever seen. What a fantastic guy and a fantastic player, easily in the top 3 wingers of all time!
he was part of an awesome blues era
Blistering sprint speed, a true cutting edge in attack, and a rock in defence. His try scoring record at elite level speaks for itself; there is no dancing around that fact.
The golden era of rugby
The way Dougie would slide in to score tries was pretty much his signature move.

Played at a time when the All Blacks looked to get the ball to its wingers (Joe Rokocoko the other) as often as possible. Doug also looked for work too! In the 2003 World cup game v Wales he scored a try on the right wing, scored another taking the ball 'off wing', was an emergency scrum half at a ruck, was 1st receiver and 2nd receiver from set piece moves and was acting full back on occasions too!!
Back when rugby was at its best.

My favourite winger of all time! One of my favourite memories was when he got into abit of a scuffle with a player from the lions team in the super rugby comp and howlett smashed him twice!
A *Fierce* defender too. Could zero in and *smash* the ball carrier.
Yo..I nearly forgot just how mean that dude was..but I remember watching all those games haha. I'm sure he dont get enough props..faaark he was fast..but some of the lines he was running was magnificent. Dont hold what he done when he went to Munster against him. Respect to a legend.

The rugby world has and is truly blessed with many outstanding athletes, New Zealand’s own Doug Howlett, is one of. Without over exaggerating, Howlett was in my opinion, a near complete rugby player that thrilled the many fans with great moments of play. His great support play, game foresight, and speed earned him, his team mates and his many followers, wonderful passages of play which led to many well deserved tries. Thank you Doug Howlett for the sweet memories, and thank you Real Rugby, for sharing.
Obviously his speed but work off the ball was tremendous attributing to so many tries. One of the greats!

Umaga was a beast! He had such a good overall view on the field and the current game state, punched holes into the opponent's defensive lines, had tiger alike reflexes and made clean passes, as we can see at 7:17. The skill involved there is extremely underappreciated. And he looked like a predator when he was leading the haka.
One of the wingers in his legend.top finisher.

Howlett and Rox is my go to 100m try scorers in ‘08 😂

Log Chop Productions yeah man some strange selections at the time. Howlett was dropped for Sivivatu and Mauger was dropped for McAlister. We played Muliaina at Centre as well. Carter hobbling off injured and his replacement Nick Evans pulling his hamstring just after he came on definitely didn't help. I'm sure they would have picked a different team if they had their time again. We forget how good Howlett was, this video is an awesome reminder.

Hi guys! I know I'm takin risks here ... I'm French ... and I lived Down Under!!! I'm your man if you're up for some fierce hostilities! LOL! Never mind! Great videos, down right about Doug's qualities but I'm more amazed about the sheer talents surrounding him, all these actions prepared prior to his finishing, for which he was bloody brilliant: the Wilsons , Merhtens, Umaga (sheer class these three) Spencers, Maugers, Carter at 13:15 (Oh!!!!!!!!) ... just the general building up of the actions and how Doug would fit in perfectly at the right time, right moment, like all his peers. Brilliant rugby guys

My favorite player in the game Rugby 08. I've got the game disc for the ps2 but the old controllers are aged and wasted. Wonder if it's playable on PS5 🤔 (dated Dec 19 2020) No PS5 consoles available til mid to late next year. I'd love for Dougie Howlett to sign my game both cover and the disc.
Hahaha man, funny watching Howlett SMOKE the Irish a couple of times. I have to say they've improved a hell of a lot as back in the day the Irish were total carthorses - unfit, slow and with journeyman physiques.
Umanga one of the best all blacks of all time.Very clever football player.
Still holds the record for highest try scorer in history for NZ, at 49. The best All Black winger of all time
