Quote: moxi1 "Made me laugh when they said currently its the rookie (alluding to Folau) who is outplaying the seasoned pro (north, who they have a w@nk fest over everytime he does his 2 things a game!!). How they can dare call him a rookie to rugby, he's currently the best player in ru without even trying and to be fair they had a little jizz about him to. Imagine if they saw GI or the Hayne train who are better then Folau!!'"
Quote: moxi1 "Do elaborate, who's better then Folau in RU. Please don't say George '10 metres' North.'"
Rugby Union players better than Folau:
Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, David Pocock, Will Genia that's four of the top of my head, If we are going for better International wingers then that's Julian Savea off the top of my head.
Quote: George Agdgdgwngo® "Rugby Union players better than Folau
and not one of them are getting the world wide media coverage folau is attracting. Dan carter lol great kicking game but anything else and folau is better, julian savea is a good powerful winger but if you don't give him room like digby he will be quite unlike folau where he will just out jump anyone or find space that a over sized winger wouldn't. david pocock and richie McCaw are great union players but there isn't a more athletic player in world rugby that folau.
NRL clubs have been advised to keep their hands off British and Irish Lions winger George North, whose battle with Wallabies star Israel Folau has been a highlight of the rugby Test series. Sin Bin revealed at the start of the Lions tour several NRL clubs were interested in North and five-eighth Owen Farrell, the son of former Great Britain and Wigan captain Andy Farrell. But North's agent Christian Abt said the 21-year-old Welsh star would not consider a code switch before 2017. ''It is flattering to receive such possible interest,'' Abt told Sin Bin. ''[But] George has recently signed a three-year deal to Northampton Saints.''

Oh dear we have another one, I agree you get voted the Best Player in The World just because you have a great kicking game You mean like all the room Israel Folau got in the first test He has started with good promise but he's achieved nothing as an International Rugby Union player yet, Looking good against a Lions team thrown together for a tour with not much time to build a solid defensive structure is hardly like impressing against the All-Blacks or Spring Boks, The comment wasn't about who was more athletic he said Folau was the best player in Union which is an absolutely ridiculous statement.

no i'm not just going on internationals as he has only played 2 games and has looked like 1 of the best players on the pitch in both games, i'm basing it of the super rugby comp as well where every week he gets a lot of attention of other teams and commentators also he has the best try scoring ratio. Really you dont get voted best player becuase of a kicking game in union? are you sure? Owen Farrell was on the shortlist last year! He is the best player in union at the moment and thats why the ARU are going to bend over backwards to sign him up so he doesn't leave similar to sonny bill.
