Ranger surfaced in the game when players like Nonu and SBW were still playing which gave a really intense competition. To me, this guy has everything you need in a rugby player.

Rene Ranger is the epitome of tough. Vastly underrated by NZRU. All talent, all courage, all power. Beast mode and nothing less than 100% FOR 80 MINUTES. Respect for such talent and commitment.

I’ve honestly been watching this video for years every time before a match to get pumped. I don’t play anymore but god this gives me goosebumps

Rangers got probably one of the best, if not THE best highlights reels - still watch them every Saturday to get hyped for my games, I like to try and mirror his gameplay

underrated player

Incredible ability to bounce players whilst only weighing 93kg

I tackled him one time. Anyways, the doctor is calling me. He needs to put a casts back on all 4 of my limbs.

I remember seeing him live in a Taniwha match and it just defied belief! He was bumping off and just straight up flattening guys who were at least 15 in some cases 20kg heavier than him! Absolute monster!

Thank you for sharing this video !! Rene Ranger, the beast, the best...a legend was born

Him and George moala would be the most powerful centre combo around.

It does, but it has to be ankle low, any higher and you're getting toilet seated.

We needed him in the NFL.

Bumping ppl off is not all about speed and size, it's about making them struggle to align a tackle on you and then exposing their weak body positioning when they are off balance. Ranger was exceptionally good at that.

Hi Guys, Vincent form Cape Town, South Africa here. This dude is just a beast. What a talent!!! So glad for the Springboks that he didn't got a lot playing time. He' s the bomb...!

Thank you man. He's absolutely beast.

What’s super good is all those tackles were 100% fair, great bop and tackle technique - then consistently gets the pass away! So many break the line and then let play die by not passing - awesome!

I'm an American football fan but becoming a Rugby fan. I can appreciate the athleticism, power and intensity because I know how hard it is. It's insane what this guy is doing.

This guy was really underrated.

Rene Ranger is brutal and he is a great player. More people need to see this.

Loving the hyper hd clips. Very nice vid.

Happy this guys returning to the blues next season.

Brilliant video as per usual

would love for him to be playing in NZ again. He'd make a far better centre than either Nonu or SBW not only can he break the gain line & D up. After a tackle hes up stealing the ball like a flanker! HE BRINGS IT ALL HE IS THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.

Ik this is old but nonu and sbw have power and everything Rene has but also adding vision and the ability to make the best decision, Ranger is a beast but Nonu and SBW was the better option

OMG! What a beast! That was fantastic!!!!

I know this is a highlight reel, albeit probably the best on youtube. But I have also watched as much action as I can of Rene Ranger and he never fails to impress. He is a magnificent all round player - not just his big hits and bumps, but also his great hands and awareness in offloading after contact. Unfathomable really why he only got a handful of caps for the ABs. All I can think is that he must have shit on the AB selectors' strawberries at some point

He's my motivation;!! Being strong no matter what😊✊

AWESOME video dude, thanks a lot for the shoutout btw!

@PepeAgain1025

He just runs it straight all the time bro. It's pretty rare that you ever see him drifting across field because if he gets space he knows he can just bump players off or throw the off-load. He also has a great knack for timing his bump-offs too and when to pull them out. If he sees a weak defender he'll just expose them with a crash ball or trying to set-up his teammates.

New Zealand definitely made a mistake by letting him go overseas. I for one am relieved he's not playing against my team this season. From a South African supporter.

@PepeAgain1025

To be fair it wasn't until he got selected by the All Blacks again that he thought he was gonna be playing international rugby again and by that time it was too late because he was thinking he wouldn't be getting another contact from the NZRU so he decided to sign on in France. If he was to wait out a little longer, had a little bit more faith in the All Blacks and not signed so early he probably would be still playing with the Blues and All blacks considering how good his form was before he left. It was all left with Rene to decide whether he wanted more money and his chances were of cracking the All Blacks wasn't as high he wanted or waiting out till the NZRU offer him a few more years in NZ. He wanted to settle his future playing years early so he signed on with Montpelier. I would say neither or was to blame to be honest.

It's a pleasure to see an almost average sized guy doing that good, for us "average people"! Ok, maybe Rene's 16 st 1 lb are not that average, but one can get there with proper training I guess (weight lifting, "diet" and so on)...

Māori stylez, Ngāpuhi boiii.!

Obviously he is quite a beast physically, but am I right in my thought that it's his use of the ball which helps him 'bump' off players so consistently? If you notice each time he's entering contact, he braces by using the ball tucked in his arm and against his chest, and it seems to cause players to bounce off more noticeably due to the ball pressure. As for the tackling... that's perfect leading with the shoulder!

Dillon Faigaa yea man, only if the technique is correct. Him and Savea master the technique where Lomu has been developed it to perfection. Shifts his weight and prepares for contact, with the precise timing, or you will end up fumble the ball.
