Brisbane Global Rugby Tens - A Viral Masterpiece
By Fred Culazzo
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.
How we've missed this magician. Milner-Skudder is back and ready to wreak havoc.
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.
The kid is nineteen. NINETEEN! Nerves of steel from Barrett.

The New Zealand performance in the return fixture in 2016 was filthy. A lot of Irish supporters were pretty shocked by it, viewed it as de facto cheating just to avoid another defeat.
Also shocked by the abuse to Ireland, captain, vice-captain and spectators after the full time whistle in Paris defeat, last match.
Sledging is sledging, but that happens during the game and targetting spectators should be completely out of bounds.
The Irish public used to enjoy these matches, even in defeat. Now they are necessary but unpleasant, because NZ apparently cannot accept or respect successful challengers.
Go to commentsThanks for the analysis Nick, thought provoking as usual. Couple of queries though, in the pic where you've circled Williams bind , I'm pretty sure it shows Stuart's knee on the ground, surely that's a NZ penalty? Also having had the chance to watch it again the All Black scrum seeems to improve after halftime, but before either England or the All Blacks replace their props. Not sure if that was the result of Tuipolutu coming on or some halftime tips. Either way this is only Williams second international season, so he'll be better for the experience.
