Tana Umaga returns with two big hits for Toulon

[tiagotre1]

spear , spear

[NFORSA]

why must we compare, shut the fuck up...this vid is about Tana smashing some punks... AWESOME PLAYER!!! end of story!

[Teleisia2564]

who the fuck is BOD??

[OriginaLRaaaZe]

@Teleisia2564 brian o driscoll

[fatShowPony]

BOD - Brian O Driscoll right? Excellent player for sure. I wouldn't bag Tana though, it's a bit harder to be a standout player when you're in a team of standouts...

[Marveh]

umaga is a brainless wrecking ball

[cosurosos]

@inBODwetrust13 well that's a fan point of vue... Nothing really objective into it.

[divinefart]

tana plays an people become fans.... luv him legend!!!!!!!

[Katazka]

title should read "tana umaga on trial for double homicide"

[Dangerous1NZ]

who the fuck is BOD?

[DarkyPNC]

does o'driscoll even play anymore, conrad smith is easily the best centre in the world anyway and he's not a big guy give it up

[EazyE275]

NO DOUBT, BOD is one of the greatest centers EVER...

But in his Prime Tana would equal up !

[bazbrad357]

he still has it

[mrlroach1]

Cannot even believe that people are talking about tana over BOD! And if anyone wants to give a name of a centre in the world that has been better than o'driscoll over the last ten years then that would be great. They don't call him BOD just cuz of his initials....

[shaveyourfingers]

@mrlroach1 come on mate..he plays in a mediocre competition amongst mediocre players. Play in the southern hemisphere with the big boys full time. Only time he shines in international tests is against northen hemisphere teams. Not knockn him though..hes good.

[mrlroach1]

@shaveyourfingers O dear, ever seen the guy on a lions tour, australia? Tana must have seen him as a threat anyway cuz cheating fucknugget went and put him on his head in the first testin 2005. The guy is so much more skillful than tana anyway, maybe doesnt have the physical presence of some of the big boys in the midfield in the AB's side but you'd have him in your team over them any day of the week.

[shaveyourfingers]

@mrlroach1 settle down jenny. Bod wouldnt even be considered for the ABs. Enough said. Now go and carry on with your moaning.

[mrlroach1]

@shaveyourfingers lol, good ifo on the comeback there m8...

[shaveyourfingers]

@mrlroach1 quality not quantity jenny. 'fucknugget' is creative, i'll give you that.

The fact of the matter is the Irish and the lions are shit, and hes the stand out player most of the time in each team. So that obviously gives you reason to create this lil fantasy of him being the better centre.

Im simply stating that brian wouldnt be good enough to make an ABs squad, let alone be considered. Thats how I and most kiwis judge a test player on their abilities.

he could play midweek games maybe

[inBODwetrust13]

@shaveyourfingers I'm sorry but you learly don't know what you're talking about... O'Driscoll would walk into any team in World Rugby, not only that he'd lead that team. All Blacks included. Put him under pressure, on the biggest stage of all and that man still delivers. O'Driscoll has won and wins games and tournaments for Ireland and Leinster. As a defensive organiser he is second to none and still a world class attacking threat. Easily the best centre of the last 25 years

[shaveyourfingers]

@inBODwetrust13 No way will he be in the ABs let alone captain them! thats almost offensive. hahaha. Come on you must be taking the piss. What defines the 'biggest stage'? How many times has he played the ABs as captain and delivered? ahhhhh - Zero. Better centres in the past 25 yrs, hmmmmm. Phillipe Cella, Tim Horan - they delivered & Im a Kiwi backing a Frenchman and an ozzy! Bod is the best thing that Irelands produced asides from guiness, so you think hes the best. I get it, I feel sorry 4 u

[Marveh]

@shaveyourfingers Ah give it a rest mate, BOD is a hero and a globally respected world class player. End of.

[shaveyourfingers]

@Marveh Respected world class player...yep. Hero.....you're taking the piss.

Rested. End of

[Marveh]

@shaveyourfingers Haha yeh my bad your right.. some kiwi wanker says bod isn't a respected world class player, i'll just disregard what commentators and great players playing and retired from every country say, because obviously your opinion is the correct one...

[shaveyourfingers]

@Marveh your sarcasm humours me. Nice place to hide. I did say he was a respected player etc..

but a hero?? Come on now, settle down. And 'kiwi wanker', no need for name calling...thats just petty. See ya dude & best of luck for whatever team your supporting at the WC.

[MangereMaori]

@mrlroach1 sonny bill and ma nonu kicks bod's ass anyday.

[SweetEdits]

tana is a wanker.

[alibabas123]

that's fking scary hahaha!

[7dayspking]

hits not that big and they weren't moving..

[nigggala]

I am not NZ born and not Irish. I am Georgian and I must say that BOD is one of the finest centers of all time in world rugby. He is much clever than Tana and much more skillful than many other world-class centers... His defense is pretty solid and he has genius decision making skill...

I support AB after my country team, but to speak shit 'bout BOD means you don't know ANYTHING 'bout rugby...

[mycar77]

@nigggala its Debatable . But i guess we will never know . Different eras, different players .

[Tawhguy]

@nigggala Dude I know this is a late reply but in my opinion BOD is one of the most overrated players of all time. The main reason why he plays so good over there is because he has no quality opposition to play against.

Every time Ireland plays against NZ or Australia or even South Africa, the great BOD you speak of is nowhere to be seen.

[nigggala]

@Tawhguy

Check him play against australia. He fucks them every time :)

[Tawhguy]

@nigggala You're joking right? Stirling Mortlock ran circles around BOD in his prime. Mortlock could literally do everything, kick, run, tackle, and pretty much dominate in rucks. Thats hard for me to say considering hes an aussie fag and im a kiwi

[nigggala]

@Tawhguy

Show me one vid of stirling mortlock runnin' round BOD.

JUST ONE!

I can show 10 or more vids of BOD fuckin' ozzis.

[Tawhguy]

@nigggala Show me one vid of BOD genuinely fucking up the all blacks. I can show you 20 of Mortlock doing that. BOD is the most overrated player ever

[nigggala]

@Tawhguy Only time he could genuinely fuck AB-s he was dumped on the pitch with his neck and out of game for months...

Watch vids him fucking SA and Ozzies.

Or watch this one - wkRIhWXeuTQ...

[FarrellConor]

@Tawhguy watch?v=ePAfe_L56hc  there you go, the reason is because ireland dont play the all blacks too much whereas australia play them like three times a year

[FarrellConor]

@Tawhguy and your saying bod cant do all that? and hes much better on the ground than mortlock. hes like an extra flanker at the breakdown

[Tawhguy]

@FarrellConor well he can do it but definitely not as good as Mortlock could. Mortlocks attack and defensive game was like art.

[h3artl33ss]

@nigggala How can you say that he is clever , skillful and his defence is more solid , when its been proven so many times that southern hemp rugby is alot more tougher , played alot differently than northern hemp. If he is so good , why doesnt he cut through the all black line - If he's so good , why doesnt he use his skills to help ireland win. Like you said you come from Georgia , your sport is not rugby i believe, And New Zealanders Live for rugby. You basicly insulted us at the same time.

[nigggala]

@h3artl33ss

ALOT TOUGHER?

Just 1 point tougher my friend 8-7 win, if I remember.

He helped Ireland win a lot of times.

And what you believe is wrong. In past 10-15 Years rugby is OUR sport.

It is growing immensely and I believe in 10 or so years Georgia will play first tier nations on par.

I myself am rugby player and I live for rugby too, so I never intended to insult anyone.

I love tana as a player, but imho BOD is better center with his all-around skills.

[iinsaneWANTdeathh]

@h3artl33ss mate i'm an abs fan but i do think BOD's an awesome player. plus they dint get to play us in the RWC, and he did lead them to beat the aussies, so..

[salealii]

@nigggala BOD is well known for his attack not so much defence as for T.U its the other ... but when their POWERS combine they become JONAH LOMU !!! lol

[ESOL11]

@nigggala I'm not doubting BOD as a centre, he is an outstanding player. BUT he hardly performs well against the All Blacks, or didn't when Tana was there. Tana shut him down, but you can't say the same about BOD's defense on Tana. Just for the record, there's no way he is more "clever' than Tana Umaga.

[MrJammydodger1995]

ye mabye tana and conrad dont complane because their shoulder wasn't dislocated in the biggest match of their career. i don't blame tana because that shit happens in rugby but the officials should have punished him . and bod was only annoyed because he was frustrated that he only played 40 seconds in the biggest match of his career

[187prettyboy]

BOD would struggle to get into a team in the ITM Cup. He always plays well, until he faces NZ teams. Umaga and Conrad Smith have been spear tackled and coat hangered many times before, but you dont hear them crying about it, they move on.

[0910dc]

@187prettyboy thats because they didnt get their shoulder dislocated isnt it? yeah i thought so. and tbh i would like you to send me a link to when either of them gets spear tackled by 2 men and actually gets their head put into the ground

[shaveyourfingers]

@0910dc its all in the past mate. I think the series outcome hurt more than anything else. Lets be honest...if Bod was playn, I dont think he wouldve influenced any of the results. Now run along and go do some ironing

[0910dc]

@shaveyourfingers you just totally changed the point of debate

[shaveyourfingers]

@0910dc Ok...who cares. BOD only looks good cause he plays in a competition where the level, pace, intensity and skill is well below par of the Super 15. Enough said.

He would never be considered for an AB if he was a NZder.

[0910dc]

@shaveyourfingers did you never see him play for the lions or for ireland? he was just as effective. yes nh rugby isnt at the standard or super 15. but he still looks class at international level. (not anymore) past his prime

[taweraster]

@0910dc He only looks good against mediocre teams, I'd class most teams in the Northern Hemisphere mediocre bar England and France on a good day.

I'd rate Kahui higher than I rate Brian O'Driscoll, he just wouldn't cut it in any of our competitions, be it the Super 15 or the Tri-Nations.

[0910dc]

@taweraster yes now hes not as good. hes 30 i think. when he was in his prime he would have walked into any side in the world. international or club.

[taweraster]

@0910dc Nowadays he'd be lucky to play for any Super 15, he was good for his time, now he'd just be a smaller Tuilagi.

[0910dc]

@taweraster he would get on the rebels and thats it. mabye not actually because of mortlock lol

[DAVnKEV]

@taweraster mate are you actually fucking retarded ?

[taweraster]

@DAVnKEV Nope, are you?

[DAVnKEV]

@taweraster you talk as if you know a lot about rugby. im not saying you dont, but like have you ever even seen brian o'driscoll play? saying that he wouldnt make any super 15 team is absolutely crazy... you southern hem centres are bigger and faster, but bod is so so so much smarter and better in defence. if you think just because NZ or SA centres are bigger and faster that it makes them better, then you have an incredibly narrow minded view on rugby

[taweraster]

@DAVnKEV It's not just that they are bigger and faster, it's just that they are simply better.

Conrad Smith outplays O'Driscoll every time they play, Smith IS the best center in World Rugby.

[DAVnKEV]

@taweraster so are you actually telling me you dont think brian o'driscoll is good

[taweraster]

@DAVnKEV That's exactly what I'm saying, he never performs against New Zealand and that is how I rate a good player, if you can make the All Blacks starting line-up then you're a good player.

[shaveyourfingers]

@0910dc yep, sure have. mediocre. stands out cause hes surrounded by pretty average players..Bod gets accolades for being the 'best centre' in the world from NH rugby public simply to ccompensate for the fact that the teams are below par (inc lions etc..) and hes one spectrum of light amongst a pretty dull rugby. even in his prime

[0910dc]

@shaveyourfingers i said at international level. remember me saying 'lions ireland' you do realise that he has played against many sh teams including nz aus sa and stood out then aswell. if he is surrounded by average players when he plays against nz aus sa then i guess they are all average aswell then. who cares if the teams are below par? we dont judge him compared to his own teamates he is judged to see how well he does against the opposition obviously

[0863534377]

@187prettyboy when was the last time he complained? he explained his view of it to the reporters, got better and is playing billiant rugby again! conrad smith has done nothing this year.. hes unheard of. theres no doubt NZ will bottle, once again, a world cup

[HerrAirburst]

Would people stop talking bout the spear tackle? It was over 5 years ago. Both Tana and BOD are great players. And these weren't good tackles, first one was on a guy who was outstretched and looking at the ball so he stood no chance, and the second wasn't big and was on a guy who wasn't looking.

[KrUmPiTz]

wow tana dosent even play rugby no more, comes back for a couple of games and still kicks ass!

[nathand410]

He's a disceace to rugby for what he purposely did to brian odriscoll in the opening seconds of the lions tour..

[gizarangi]

@nathand410 still having a cry about that shet farout soooky build a bridge and get over it

[TheMorsey007]

@nathand410 Cry baby, O Driscoll is shit anyway, he wouldnt have made a difference. Stop trying to inadvertly make excuses as to why you got your ass kicked.

[ieex]

@nathand410 Brian O’Driscoll is rated highly because he’s a ‘good’ player in an ‘average’ team! I’m part Irish, and I love the Irish Team, but O’Driscoll have bled that tackle for so much more than it was! If he played in NZL, SA or AUS, he’d struggle to be a first pick second-five. Whilst New Zealand have only managed to win one World Cup, South Africa two and Australia two, Ireland have NEVER come close to even being considered for the Finals! Gareth Thomas is a better Captain than he is!

[RENESHIA01]
