The Top 8 Biggest Fends ever in New Zealand rugby

Comments

The guys at The Crowd Goes Wild have been mourning the exclusion of Cory Jane from the All Blacks Rugby World Cup squad, so in honour of the fend master, they've put together this awesome compilation of some of the best ever hand-offs by New Zealanders. And one Aussie.

There are a few nice surprises, with the likes of Jonah Lomu making an appearance, Richie McCaw being sent to the turf and Jane taking the number one spot..

WATCH: Hosea Gear bumps Keith Earls out the road on his way to the tryline

If you're wondering why Waratahs and Wallabies lock Dean Mumm is included, well he was born in New Zealand. Also, the monster fend is a thing of beauty, so there's that.

Great viewing overall, so be sure to share it with your friends and followers!

We've featured most of them before, so feel free to search and browse our archives for longer versions.

    Rounded off with a little Twisted Sister "We're not gonna take it" on the stadium PA during the replay.

    I love how it cuts to the player halfway through the run;
    "What are you thinking man?!?!"

    Got the distinct impression that both Gear and Earls knew exactly how it was going to play out.

    Nothing more humiliating than being put on your arse by a fend! Usually easily avoided by tackling low, but then I'm not about to start telling Richie McCaw how to tackle!

    Favourite for me is the Hosea Gear one, where he seems to deliberately slow down just so that he can smash Earls with a big fend!

    Three fends on the same player. You mean like this?

    Haha number 1!

    I guess after seeing Richie McCaw get slammed it doesn't make me feel so bad about the fe-uh-one handoff I've only ever fallen foul to...

    ...and even then it never happened..
