Tana Umaga huge tackle
Some average passing in the 2006 Super 14 sets up the Waratahs' Morgon Turinui to be monstered by Umaga, with a flying leap tackle.
"What a hit! Look at this for timing...it's exquisite, and I know it hurts."

I only it wasn't for TU's spear on BOD I might have some respect for him...

I agree with hamish m. I would respect him much more if he hadnt spear tackled his opposite no. BOD who is probably more talented than him.

A bit late, but the song at the end is We Got The Whip by Audioslave.

to the guy who commented above me, ur a tit. but surely this tackle was too high? almost tackled him round the head?

BOD is a one in a kind player. His creativity in the game is far better than any other including Tana Umaga. Look at Brian O' Driscoll a moment of genius and you'll see. I will not deny that Umaga is good but just because he plays centre for the All Blacks doesnt make him the best centre in the world.

J.R. i don't think anyone here has actually said Umaga is/was the best in the world. Just saying he's a brilliant player and one of NZ's greats. Yes O'Driscoll is also world class but they're both different types of players.

BOD is a genius, a player which can turn a game with his individual skills. Umaga is was team-man, a very consistent player, 100% NZ style. I whish they were both portuguese... LOL

To geraint I am not saying they are the same I am saying that I think O' Driscoll has a better mind for the game and can do things Umaga couldnt produce because as you said they are different players. As for my other point there is an assumption by some people that should someone play for the All Blacks that it means that they are the best player in the world for that position.

you got sin binned because you probably tackled him above the shoulders, umaga didn't get sin binned because he grabbed his shoulders

Sometimes commentator's reactions are just as good as the hits themselves"OOOOOOOOHHH, WHAT A HIT!"haha

tana umanga, perfect outside centre. Hard man, hard hitter and a mint captain. to play him along side BOD would be amazing

Umaga was the best centre in the world and no matter what you clowns say he was always better than Cryin O Driscoll. In all the matches they played each other against Cryin O Driscoll never performed better than Tana on any occassion. Sure he might produce brilliant creative rugby in the northern hemisphere but against Tana Umaga he was always outclassed and outsmarted. Now Remember That
