My top 10 Favorite Number 8's in Rugby
Спорт
These are my favorite Number 8's (8 man) in rugby. Please watch in HD, and sorry for not including Sergio Parisse, he is a great Italian number 8 but not really one of my favorites. Enjoy! and please tell me what you think in the comments whether you like it or not.

Daune Vermeulen should be everyone's top 10 favorites.

1: Read 2: Picamoles 3: Vermelen 4: Parisse 5: Foletao 6: Masoe 7: Harinordoquy 8: ME OF COURSE (I'm french!)
i love the fact you said your favourite. most people say top 10 as if thats everyones top 10 but its always what THEY think everyone else would choose which is still influenced by their own opinion as well as others
1- Read 2- Heaslip 3- Armitage 4- Vermeulen 5- Faletau 6- Picamoles 7- Vunipola

No parisse? He would be just behind Read as the best ever.. And Armitage is predominantly a 7 not an 8.. Do you watch rugby at all? I'm English and love Billy V, but he needs to really prove himself over a longer period..
Personally read is the best, he's the most consistent player out of all of them. Great vid though
good list.. but I kept on watching because I was hoping to se Duane Vermeulen.. :(

What a crap list without Duane in
My top ten number 8 list 10.Jamie Heaslip(Ire) 9.Piere Spies(RSA) 8.Jerry Collins(Nz) 7.Cj Stander(Ire) 6.Schalk Burger(RSA) 5.David Pocock(Aus) 4.Mamuka Gorgodze (Geo) 3.Kieren Read(Nz) 2.Sergio Parisse(Ita) 1.Sebastien Chabal(Fra) I'm 16 ,i grew up watching them n these guys defined what a number eight is for me, Especially the Top 5 on my list :)
For me it's a toss-up between Kieran Read and Duane Vermeulen for the number 1 spot. Based on 2014 performances. Wow Pierre Spies had some pace back when he was at his best!!
As a South African I am SHOCKED to see Kieran Read not top that list... That guy is in a class of his own. Putting Pierre Spies ahead of Kieran Read is a sin, Having Spies on this list even is dubious...
Sergio Parisse is the GOAT 8 🐐 🇮🇹!
How can Sergio parisse not be on this list
Sergio Parisse n.1 and Duane Vermeulen n.2
very nice selection of course some are missing (Sergio Parisse), but very nice anyway
Great list mate
Outstanding video. I don't agree with all of your choices and the order, but they are all top top players.
My favourite is definitely Parisse, would walk onto any team in my opinion

Seriously irritating music ruined the video Not everyone shares your taste in music Did not bother to watch the whole video because of the music
enjoyed this - cheers! happen to think faletau is right up there also..
Running through Sean O'Brien at 6:51 was quite impressive!
Alex Tulou may traditionally be from American Samoa but he was born and rugby bred in Wellington NZ, gotta make that clear..

thanks for clearing that up man, i just couldn't find where he was actually from.
good list!!
you have to add Facundo Isa, it is the number 8 of Jaguares and Pumas, he is awsome!!
Zinzan Brooke? Best of ever! Morné du Plessis? Lawrence Dallaglio? Wayne "Buck" Shelford? Mervyn Davies? Ben Clarke? Hennie Muller? Derek Quinnell? Abdelatif Benazzi? Danie Rossouw? Sergio Parisse? Kieran Read? David Pocock? Duane Vermeulen? Billy Vunipola?
I totally agree that Duane should be there and prob one or 2 others but seriously can't argue with your number 1 choice man if he played for a team like New Zealand, South Africa or Australia he would probably be better than my choice of best #8 ever Gary Tiechmen
no Duane Vermeulen?

Enzo Caballero there is only 12 mins of American football playtime. However, there is 80 minuets of rugby play time. personally, I think that American football players wouldn't be able to play rugby because they arnt fit enough.
I agree Gorgodze first ! The best
Hard to do a top 10 number 8 here.. i can say that Parise, Dallaglio and Henrry Tuilagi should be there also 💪💪💪
Dimitri Basilaia and mamuka gorgodze is strong georgia.🔥⚡💥❤💪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
wow Saba....great
No… 1.Duane Vermeulen, he once played a game with cracked ribs, got man of the match and helped the Boks beat NZ 27-25... that's all you need to know.
Since professional era for me: Zinzan undoubtedly the best. Nothing to separate Vermeulen and Reid at No.2 . (Reid may be the all round more skillful player and Duane definitely the more intimidating physical specimen.) Harinordoquy at 4 and Rocky Elsom at 5, Parisse at 6 and Heaslip at 7. I would maybe put Dallaglio in there at 8, purely because he was such a hard man, but none of the others are close, certainly not Chabal and Spies.
I would have had Billy Vunipola and Parisse but apart from that I love the list
I’m surprise to see Richie is not on the list
Forget about Duane. I think Spies was a much better no 8. But no Bobby Skinstad. The list is more robust type of players. Bobby was a class act. In the apartheid era non racial rugby had a few great no 8s like Yaghya Sakier. Grantham Jansen. Clive Thomas. Saait Magiet. It's a pity the world didn't see them
👏👏👏👏good good goo
i know the title said favourite and thats clearly your opinion but how could you leave out parisse

u should also look at it from the quality of the opposition! Spies for example only excelled in super rugby and against lesser oposition. looks good on a highlight reel but doesnt reflect the players conistency. Vermeulen on the other hand had a man of the match performance against the All blacks with rib cartilage damage! i appreciate this is your opinion but that cant be ignored IRB player of the year nominee 2014 booya!

Henry Tuilagi didn’t even make the list? Ask James Haskell. He’ll tell you!
Anyone who doesn't have Sergio Parisse on a list of the best 8s is either narrow minded, or doesn't understand rugby.. The guy has been unbelievable for years in an at best average Italian team.. He would be 1st choice 8 in any international side apart from the ABs because of Read.. I'm English and we have Billy Vunipola, who I love, but I'd select Parisse over Billy in a heartbeat..
I agree.
The thing is all these people in the comments are like where’s this player but it clearly says my top 10 favourite 8s in the title
no david pocock in the list?

But are you serious? Momuka gorgoze as the best number 8
How you forget Duane Vermeulen
billy vunipola?
Your fav is a great player. However, there's a big difference between your favourite, and who is actually the best. What you have to ask yourself is this: would he be picked ahead of Reid for the all blacks? Of course not. Would he be picked ahead of vermuelen or spies for the springboks? Of course not. They are better than him.

+saba manjgaladze - as soon as I saw the username I thought he's going to have Gorgodze at #1. Don't disagree, the guy is amazing, but surely he plays openside flanker in >90% of his games? An awesome 7 who can also play 8. On that basis you could have Richie McCaw in here too.

The Caveman had an awesone presence - no doubt because of his looks. Technically he could never be the complete 8th man. That title in my humble opinion goes to Kieran Read. (And in saying this I adore Marmuke). Read is simply the complete player (and as a Saffa I am somewhat loathe to say it)

PartiZAn18 I dunno, I like Read but with a squad and culture like the All Blacks anyone can shine. I love Picamoles tbh, he's a tank and has been tearing it up for Northampton (From an Irishman).
I am disgusted to see that Sergio hasn't made the list... Has played in every 6 nations match since Italy joined the 6 nations...
Gorgodze is a great flanker not a great number 8... Billy Vunipola ?? Duane Vermeulen ?? My favorite #8 is kieran read
