Huge Juan Smith handoff on Francois Louw

From last weekend's intensely physical derby match between the Stormers and the Cheetahs in Cape Town, we bring you this superb handoff that had young Francois Louw possibly questioning his tackling technique.

After a storming run from young talent Brussouw, Springbok and Cheetahs hardman Juan Smith gets the ball and lays into Louw, knocking him to the ground emphatically with a powerful handoff.

A little push and shove afterwards illustrates the intensity of this match, which the Stormers came away with by 34 points to 22.

he actually tackles him
nd dislodges the ball

yeah regardless of how powerful the hand off was, in the end the same guy stopped him in his tracks..
dont think he needs to question anything.

i think we can all agree before everyone starts flooding this like the above, that this was not the best bit of play, but i think we should still "wow" the video.

That still looked cool. Unfortunately, it did not come anywhere close to sounding cool. Was there no commentary to begin with?

I think if Louw went in lower (excuse the lame pun) he would have been able to avoid the handoff and still bring down Smith.

To the Anonymous child who says Juan Smith is a retard, I'm sure he'd at least figure out how to post a comment on here with class, and with a name too...

Ed, still going to delete pathetic Anonymous comments? I think so.

I have to agree! A hand off is only effective if you keep going, not if you get tackled and lose the ball forward... great tackle! Now if you want to see some effective running, watch the Chiefs Crusaders game and Lauaki, gaining the advantage line every time he gets the ball, monster....

forward pass. and more of a punch than a hand off. i think whoever made the run before him deserves more credit

Nice Handoff, but check ou Munsters 'Tony Buckley' handoff on simon shaw...........MONSTER!! Shaw is 6ft 8" and gets floored!

Buckley is a 6ft 5", 21 stone prop!
