BOD = Legend
Excellently read by O'Driscoll.
IncrediBOD
Still not better than Jonathan Davies though is he!
O'Driculous!
Who the man!
Thanks for coming Stains
@Patrick if you really believe that you know nothing about rugby Davies could only dream of being half as good as O'Driscoll
Is that he was picked in front of him for the lions? Don't get me wrong he was a great player but JD is definitely better now!
And your a girl what do you know!
I've forgotten more about rugby than you now know so get over yourself and the whole world knew that was a mistake but I tell you what go live in your dream world I don't really need to defend O'Driscoll his stats and world wide recognition and respect says it all
Here here Edel well said.
@Patrick Did you really just say that?...
@Patrick you just are a real rugby fan you're just rude
*arent
Lets see if Davies makes four lions tours .. He's a had one or two good seasons at the top BOD has had over a decade ...
What's he won on the international stage? Oh that's right F all! You really think you know that much? If you did you'd stop banging on about a spent force, who was lucky to have even gone on the last lions tour! O'driscoll himself even marvelled at how good JD was! The result in the final test speaks for itself, oh and where was BOD? Sulking in the stand with Keith Wood and willie john! None of them have had the good grace to admit they were wrong! BTW I'm delighted that Northampton have been stuffed!
May have made four, never a test series winning lion! How many 6 nations has he won in all the years he's been playing?
@patrick your argument is invalid. O'Driscoll is possibly the best 13 ever. Davies has potential but he's no prodigy, his leadership isn't as good, or tackling, or handling. Davies was picked in the lions squad wrongly and it gave us a test match won by knocking the Aussies in physicality no sparkling back play by any means
It's just banter girls! Or is equality not allowed on this forum!
Why is my argument invalid? Alex!That's an awfully big statement to make, unless you back it up! I'm not suggesting
Ireland with Bod as skipper won the grand slam in 2009 so there's that and he was part of the lions winning team it wasn't only one match that won that series it was all three. You must be new to the rugby scene because if you weren't you would know that the players especially the experienced ones will give praise where it is due and Davies himself has said he is no where near the level of O'Driscoll (the only ever player to win player of the DECADE) every major player in rugby history would say the very same about O'Driscoll he may be coming to the end of his career but as you seen tonight he's still as good if not better than when he started
@patrick Edel just proved my point:)^
And that is why your argument is invalid Davies v O'Driscoll =no contest the boy has potential that's all
But I'm talking currently not historically live in the past if you like! Just so you know picking the lions backs for the third test took 90 seconds! What does that tell you? JD has won back to back 6ns and reached a World Cup SF and a lions winning series in three seasons can BOD better that? It's rhetorical BtW.
If you have dictionary I suggest you look up the word potential!
Alex! Hiding behind a girl that's shocking!
BTW I'm not disputing BOds ability he's just not the best right now!
No not right now but of all time. Still playing and still pulling out performances like that. Jonathan Davies is half the player Bod is!
Gatland chose Davies simply to complete the almost full welsh team! The welsh back line have had more experience and chemistry playing together than BOD has with the rest of the welsh team! BOD has more skill and talent, I doubt Davies will be able to play at that level at the age of 34
Patrick, you can't talk about a single player based on the teams accomplishments, i.e. JD is a good part of the Welsh winning formula but just a part. O'Driscolls performances have been consistent since 1999, thats 14 years at the top. JD has potential to be great, but come back in another 10 years and we'll see how argument stands up. BTW, let ur arguments stand on their own, and don't descend to petty arguments on gender ..... all equal on here !
JD is 25 BoD is 35 I'm talking about know you idiots!
BOD is the man. Outstanding professional and is still top class. Maybe not what he was 4 years ago in South Africa but still top class. John Davies is a great player but not as good or in my opinion will never reach BOD past or present. John Davies missed the tackle on Ashley copper in the 2nd lions test to bring it to the decider. Everyone forgets that. The lions would of won that 3rd test with BOD at 13 or JD. Patrick your points are so flawed and you are looking at the whole thing with blinkers on. Wales are a great team and have been for a long time now. Ireland are great in patches, consistency is key for wales. Remember Ireland were the only team to beat wales last year in 6N.
Jono try one year ago! Dreadful six nations culminating in a yellow card!
What?
So what Wales won the 6ns! Remind me where did Ireland finish? Why are you all assuming I'm Welsh?
Just to correct you Ashley cooper was Bods man!
Joni, what are you asking me?
I'm not assuming your welsh. I just said Ireland weren't consistent enough that's why wales won. If we played each game with that intensity Ireland would of been grand slam champs. Also to say BOD has own nothing isn't really true. 3 Heineken cups, grand slam, 3 triple crowns, 1 rabo and 1 Celtic league.
Blain! JD is twice the player BOD is! Lets talk presently, please don't live in the past
Patrick, you are talking about the past for JD too. If it's the present then yes BOD is a better player, chiefly because he can play at present as he does not have a torn pectoral muscle like JD.
And it's "you're a girl" not "your a girl"
Heineken cups don't count in the test circuit though! As great an achievement it is by the way!
Craig is that the best you can come up with? Correcting my grammar realy? A run in and a speculative pass between the legs prove nothing currently!
Presently JD is injured and not playing. And again JD missed that tackle in the 2nd test. BOD defence in Oz was great, attack was poor due to the fact he had a 13 playing 12 inside him in a back line that didn't do much. The key was Jamie Roberts to the final 3rd test. All will come to the fore in the 6N.
I'm sure it will! But BoD wouldn't have played at all if it wasn't for Robert's injury! I suggest you watch the replay definitely BoDs man!
"Correcting my grammar realy?" Is wrong too haha. The irony is soooo yummy. "Correcting my grammar? Really?" Is right, and from the sounds of it he needs too :P
How was his offence against Australia(and defence) and NZ
Davies bit too early. BOD had James o connor. Davies bit and couldn't make the ground up on Ashley cooper. Anyone reading this please have a look on YouTube and see.
Welcome oh brave one! Looney(sic) get it?
I have and your wrong! I suggest you watch with the Aussie commentary!
http://youtu.be/RuDrvfY0jW4 2.45 sure about that Patrick?
Mark! Too?
No sadly I don't 'get it', but I'm guessing that it isn't my fault and you've just spelt something wrong :P Is that supposed to be my name? lol
I've had a ball, no offence to anyone(especially girls) but I have to put my kids to bed. Goodnight god blesses. All in all a great night for Leinster.
Oh no I made a selling mistake!
Spelling!
BOD points at o Connor and Davies bits. It was man on man defence and Davies missed his man
Bod also puts his man on the deck.
Hey you had to look though!
JD Is still better goodnight! Xxxxx
I'm off lads. Good chatting. Love rugby banter.
"SELLING" haha. Oh God I love this moment, pure comedy. You couldn't making it up, couldn't write this comedy gold, well at least YOU definitely couldn't write it :P
Awww Patrick...you mad bro?
Patrick your a fool.
Little tip for you Patrick... If you're going to call people idiots you'd best learn the difference between "now" and "know" first :-)
Patrick why do you have to start an arguments!! Appreciate bod for the game! J Davies was not even involved tonight so give it a rest! And yes I'm a girl!!
I'm agree with Patrick if I owned a team now and was deciding who to pick is sign JD not BOD sorry guys ......
I'd * on the phone I can spell honest :p
Of course you'd sign JD Scott cos BOD is about to retire, but that doesn't tell us anything. BOD still was mam of the match, try scorer and creator of two more tries in a demolition of England's second best team, and unfortunately JD is injured.
