Worlds best 9? Aaron Smith Scrum Half Pass & Box Kick – Rugby Analysis – New Zealand All Blacks GDD
Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan: New Zealand All Blacks and Highlanders Scrum Half, Aaron Smith, is one of the worlds finest players. In this video I break down every aspect of his game including:
– Box Kick
– Defensive organisation
– Scrum half pass
– Attacking decision making
I take footage from the New Zealand vs Wales, New Zealand vs Ireland, and New Zealand vs South Africa matches.

See the vid is a year old. Boks are current World Champs…yea we lost to NZ on opening game…
But Aaron was shut by England…our number 9 got us running against Wales & England to subsequently take the Webb Ellis Trophy
So the text under your video reads "World’s best 9?"…
I say nah…Faf de Klerk IS World’s Best 9.
Enjoy the Rugby Championship if you can watch it from the Northern Hemisphere 👍🏿

Il mio giocatore preferito.
Great job Geraint. I’m glad we were able to to view this is in the US.
👏👏👏 Class
the run at 2.05 is 100% offside if he gets involved in any play it should be a penalty. regardless if he is back onside at the time he has been offside to put himself in this position.
Aaron Smith Best of The Best number 9 in the World 👌🏽👍🏽👊🏽🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Yes, the best 9 ever.
Best player ever.
Again spot on. Pitty we don’t live next door to each other, I would enjoy a conversation with you ’cause I look at the same things you do. I have considered this player to be the world best nr.9 for a long time, wasit inly for his perfect technic. Dupont is not there yet I think but he will get there.
Had a fat joint with him the other night 😂
good stuff about game management and keeping in control.
this is so good

Great analysis. Love the graphics.
Fa de klerk
Really enjoyed this video. Would be interesting to see some detail behind how this is “coached” without just hiding behind “putting it in a game”.
Excellent video!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the video? If you’d like to comment below I’ll be sure to get back to you!
Well made and detailed video, would be good to see some side by side with other nines to see how much he stands out. Does Ben Young’s run “cheat lines” much? Should he?!
1:57 very offside

Great piece of analysis, with very clear explanation and handy infographic tools! Keep up the great work!
Conner Murry box kick
I love his little chest line ahead of the ball. Very clever! Not sure whether that would make him offside from the cross field kick though, he’s always in front of the ball until he receives the pass?
Very good job.
He makes a complicated and pressured position look so simple! Great work with the footage as well!
Frank Lomani🇫🇯 should learn from this guy
His pass is fast and his voice is his true strength
Excellent, eye for detail and analysis. SUBSCRIBED 29/09/2023, hope more people see your channel.
This is unreal.
Very interesting, Geraint. Some concise analysis in the key areas. I have enjoyed your reply to comments too, I agree it would be interesting to see Smith vs other 9s in similar context. I think I fall on the ‘onside’ team regarding the cheat lines – very smart play. Keep them coming.
Brilliant analysis & illustration. An exemplar.😀
Love this! The detail that you go into for the box kick and the pass is the best I’ve seen. Your channel is the best!
absolutely top class g awsome attention to detail
Damn good brake down, you really went into detail. 👍
There is an obvious and embarrassing typo in the title! Just replace the question mark with an exclamation mark and normality will be restored. 😎
Love the accent! 😂
