It's sad how he was underutilised in his own country. Ngani is such an excellent player who is such a threat and almost impossible to stop when he's on attack. It was probably hard for him to leave New Zealand, but he made a good choice. If he had stayed, it was going to stunt his career and also possibly affect his focus which will ultimately affect his game💯🏉 They'll definitely appreciate him more in France and he's without a doubt going to bring a lot of trouble to the french division😤🏉 NZ have no idea what they've just lost!!🙆🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Guys who celebrate the way he does tend to given time out to reflect. It’s also happened to Rico Ioani. Allblacks selectors tend to drop guys who think they are the team and celebrating the way they do gives you a little insight toward their attitude. He’s one player, New Zealand have great centres coming out of their ears. My point is you can be a world class great player but if you’re a dick head the Allblacks will drop ya.

@@sidknee4975 I don’t think it’s that at all because Reiko Ione celebrates just as Laumape (which I’m personally not against) I think it’s more just how he fits into the AB’s structure and game plan and what they want out of a centre. He’s one of the hardest people to tackle but clearly they value attributes possessed by players other than Laumape. Maybe he’s a bit 1 dimensional by international standards 🤷‍♂️

Love to see him playing 12,Radradra 13,Kolbe 14 and Tuisova 14...wont that be a threat

We need him ❤️❤️❤️

No one I would like to try to tackle less. Powerful, almost impossible to get lower than without compromising your ability to react to his step. A nightmare

His position in New Zealand 12 is called 2nd 5/8, and is different to 13 centre, which requires more heads up, passing role. We really should have treated him better and encouraged him to stay. He was always behind Anton Lienert Brown, but we could do with him now. Great player

Beast. Love him.

Awesome blessed talent 🙏🏽💕

If Tonga had this guy to play alongside Fekitoa and Charles Piutau, and if it were possible Tonga could have all three of them for the next world cup, they would work wonders for Tonga. Not saying Tonga would win the world cup, but with those three, and with a good forward pack, Tonga could at least make the semifinals. I would be very interested watching Tonga play with those three. But they need a good forward pack as well. Monday ngt - August 23, 2021.

Put him back in the AB's. Laumape & Iaone in the midfield would be a lot more devastating combination than what we have had in the past few years. Caleb Clarke back on the left wing.

He’s going to play for tonga

I’ve said this before Ngani Laumape was shit on by NZRU they told him to hang in there and to work on a few things which he did and it showed in his game(s) but still he wasn’t good enough to the point they negotiated with Laumape to take a pay cut the a-holes so that solidified Laumape’s move overseas for better money and security for him and his family’s financial future so instead of taking Laumape to the last World Cup they dropped him for Jack Goodhue who in my opinion didn’t live up to his super rugby stats or the hype sorry but Hansen you made a mistake that cannot be changed but will be in my history books

They never selected him even thoe he shitted on his opposites in fashion and was very exciting to watch no 1 can do it like him top try scorer most Metres gained most line breaks bruh good he left NZ they missed out on a top quality player he just different

Mini bulldozer? Nahhh bro....this dude's a full D6 Dozer....I've seen his training....he does extra in the field...way more then any of his teammates....he outrains all of them....what a freak...💪💪💪💪

He's exciting!¡!

Hes more like a mini tank but on rocket boosters

This guy was born to play rugby

He has a very dark and joyless energy. Strange

Yep. When you're compactly built, hard to stop. Hope you doing well bro.

Come play for Tonga toko for sure would be more grateful and appreciative to have you.

All Blacks sorely missed their chance to retain this star. The recent Northern Hemisphere tour cruelly exposed this gulf in player depth in mid field.

The Flying Fijians has the 💊

Pretty clear the selectors are doing a piss poor job. What a shame to lose such a talent.

Probably our biggest loss in awhile.

Damn we truly did lose the most destructive centre in the world.. Ofa atu toko..

The one that got away they should have had more patience with him he was not gonna become a Nonu overnight

What he’s going to play for France. That’s what a lot of reds players and Aussie players and even more players I doing

He hit Barrett in the head with his elbow in the 1st clip. Laumape seems 1 dimensional

his like Julian savea

He went overseas too soon, he would be a walk in to the match day 23, he should have waited and done what BB did

0:40

Why the video is titled “the mini bulldozer”??? He weighs 102kg where’s the mini?

Somebody please explain to me why NZ RUGBY let Ngane Laumape go

NZ can't see alot of stuff when players are concerned, same happened to christian cullen when john mitchell dropped him, ruined his entertaining rugby.

He was a missed opportunity, NZR screwed up and so did the All Blacks selectors doesn't matter if people think he's one dimensional Nonu was one dimensional too, Mils tended to sometimes have tunnel vision and wouldn't pass when he should have but they ended up being great Allblacks because they were surrounded by the right people to develop there game, Ngani has 100 confidence in himself which I'd prefer to have instead of someone who doubts themselves and makes mistakes, he would have evolved eventually he just needed to be given more of a chance which in my opinion he never got it, you just need to look at his all his stats compared to what we have now and what we have now in the midfield you cant say they have performed or made a huge impression for the Allblacks apart from probably a couple players that is.

Easily the most disrespected player of the modern era. A victim of not fitting into the Abz coaches “favourite and role models” if the players were picked on talent alone he would be a lock for the Abz - he’s arguably the most damaging back in world rugby. Missed his physicality in the RWC and in the tests against Ireland and France. If Tonga get him with the likes of Fekitoa, Piatau and Folau they would have a real shot at beating the current weak ass All Black team - worst since 1998-1999
