No he isn't.

He's trash



I would have:

Gidley
Senior
Carmont
Gasnier


to name but 4 over him any day of the week


and don't even make me list:


Meninga
Miles
Bell
Connolley

etc etc


Don't be sucked in by the Rar Rar media.

O Driscoll is very very average.

As a Welshman i was distgusted with the attitude of the players.

Wales need to win by 13 points to finish top. At 65 minutes Wales get a penalty on the half way. Henson misses the Kick. Wales still 1 point behind.

Now if they had any intention of finishing top they needed tries. If they scored a try then they were 1 converted try away from winning the competition. Instead they were happy to beat Ireland and finish 2nd. Instead they are now 4th. Its the mentality of the union game that gets me going.

Surley you play to the game to finish as high as you can not just to win 1 game which you lose in the end. Then again scoring tries is a bit aline in union they prefer a kick and clap.

It would. Now what's your point? Does this make him any less of a player?

I am talking about the absolute ability here, not which code they play.

You mean a specialist centre outplayed an ex RL PROP (who was, let's face it injured and over the hill) in a game that prop had been playing for 18 months as opposed to 15 years?



Please.


At least make point's that you can defend.

Sorry Faz went to prop when we had to use him. He was still loose forward when we did have enough players to cover. Point that you seemed to miss.

But werent you calling him Trash. And judging him on ability. Now he has more skill and ability than any centre is SL. Only Gidley comes close to him. He can run the ball, brings players in and leads very well.

Now surely any SL player is better than any union Trash.

I accidently watched a few minutes of the France v Italy game while waiting for something to start on sky (i can't stop channel surfing), there was 5 or 6 kicks on the stick end all within 1 miute of play, i shouted obscenitys at the tv and flicked over, what a pile og Dog Shit

Well in the game that I saw him play for Stade Francais he was dire.

Why should he have 2 when you don't seem capable of looking at anything without your ignorant all RU players are crap glasses on?

You miss the point.


If you are seriously trying to compare O Driscolls centre play vs England to Faz (which you were) then you are deluded.


Now on your other point, I would rather have, for example, Carmont in a Wigan RL side any day of the week to O Driscoll. Any day.


Against an organised RL defence O Driscoll would be made to look what he is - very very average.

Now, given 5 years of the Communist Cap, I have no doubt that the future generations of RU players WILL be better than their SL counterparts.

However, for the moment, that is not true.

Now where have I said that ALL RU players are crap?

Cite this and I will shut up.

Fail to cite this and I will point to you posting bollox.





All RU players are NOT crap.

I wouild have Flutey and Shane Williams in my side any day.

On the subject of O'Driscoll, the commentary team were virtually peeing their panties over his 'amazing lines of running'. Looked like he did what any centre would do.

Average player in an average game.


I have many Irish (RU supporting) friends and we debate RU vs RL a lot.

Hence we analyse each others games.


I stand by my statments.


O Driscoll would get nothing out of at least half a dozen RL centres.
