Tana Umaga huge tackle on Morgan Turinui in 2006

Tana Umaga demonstrates to Waratahs back Morgan Turinui why he was one of the greatest, and most formidable, ever All Black captains. A hard man through and through, he’s a true legend of New Zealand and Hurricanes rugby.

Some average passing in the 2006 Super 14 sets up the Waratahs’ Turinui to be monstered by Umaga, with a flying leap tackle.

Some great, classic Australian commentary followed.

“What a hit! Look at this for timing… it’s exquisite, and I know it hurts.”
