Phil Kearns gives the fingers after scoring

[HitMeQuick]

In the UK we are treated to "Futzy" giving us his take on the World Cup as part of ITV's coverage. He is flanked by Francois Penis and Gareth "do you like my new shoes" Thomas, with occasional contributions from tiny Michael Lynagh and Lawrence "intense pesto flavour" Dallaglio.

You must come over it's great.

[nibib123]

To be fair Fitzpatrick is a bit of a douchebag.

[egghurler]

@kaino1990 What a load of rubbish. How girly can you get. Your passion for our rugby is great, but you have no idea about respect. These guys go off and have a beer & a chuckle afterwards. They fight tooth & nail on the field & leave it there. Only petulant, over emotional moron supporters then go on and moan, whine, cry, lose sleep & make stupid bad sport comments afterwards. Cool down & use a capital letter or two, you moronic cry baby. You embarrass us all.

[kaino1990]

@egghurler Hey I actually play the sport pal, I'm not old like you. When someone knees me in the head I don't go drinking beers after with them, because that is what sissys do. I can understand having hard games etc etc but cheapshots and taunts are not called for. Cool down? Old man you sound like you are about to have a heart attack on that keyboard so I would put my fist in my mouth and stop typing if I were you. BTW, I know Kearnsy and Fitzy are now friends, but they had a fiery rivalry.

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@kaino1990 I'll meet you you fucking idiot. Who the fuck are you to offer people out over a rugby clip?

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@kaino1990 Just checked your profile. Grow up you fucking mug. Just about EVERY player in the world beats the shit out of their opposition and then have a beer with them after the game. You've got a lot of growing up to do shitarse.

[kaino1990]

@LunchtimeLoonies righto mate it happens to everyone except the wallabies and the all blacks these days. This isnt 1990s anymore, you wallaby scum refuse to have beers with the all blacks the whole year. Shows how much class you aussies have.

[LunchtimeLoonies]

@kaino1990 I'm not a wallaby. I'm English....I'll have a beer with anyone....even the fucking devil!

BTW...Fancy a pint?

[kaino1990]

@LunchtimeLoonies brother i like the way you think hahaha

[life2lifele55]

typical aussie, no class?

we run to your assistance when you have natural disasters and accept your countrymen with open arms whenever they want to emigrate and better the lives. Australians have been very, very good to kiwis, and vice versa.

You and your generalisation have no class

[jameshigz]

Uh Bledisloe matches are the best games to go to, I been to one and faced the Haka and we won in a thriller in near sell out in Sydney it was fantastic Plus league has no prestige like union does

[mike1981007]

Kearns aint the most biased commentator.....his mate Marto just pips him in those stakes!

[meatformoney]

Yeah Kearns did ok in his time.. nothing to get your tits in a tangle about though. Wish he hadn't gone into commentating though - what an effing moron. Biased as fark .. and that saying things have happened before they've happened shit really gets up my skirt. "That's a try! Ahh, no it isn't" .. "He's definitely out.. Oh, no he isn't" Faaark off! I need a dump now. .

[alexmatheson1337]

Phil Kearns is fucking legend! and he is the funniest commentator ever

[SD78]

"You can have two sausages at the barbie, Fitzy!"

[thekunts274]

FUCK PHIL KEARNS AND HIS BIASED COMMENTARY HE WAS A FUCK HEAD THEN AND HE IS A FUCK HEAD NOW. I WISH HE KILLED HIS DAUGHTER WHEN HE RAN OVER HER HAHAHA

[rabbitoh14]

@thekunts274 well arent you a cunt

[wjpollock]

It started years before when Sean the Sheep marked Kearns for the first time and told him he was a little boy and should have been watching the game at home with his mother. Phil decided to show Flossy who was the better forward at a time that would hurt him most.

Q: What is the capital of New Zealand?

A: $3.50.

[maul6696]

@wjpollock whoa whoa whoa! we're worth at least $sex.50

[policeb8]

all blacks dominate rugby!

[andye2007]

@policeb8 Yes- in non-world cup years!

[6eggc]

@policeb8 oh wow!now the brave macho guy behind the screen eh..i bet you wont say that infront of the wallabies

[expat74]

He might be a decent guy in person but as a commentator Phil 'the cyclops' Kearns sucks major balls.

[blUdz18]

Typical.

[MERCHNDYC]

wot a fcukn wanker!

[mattykun]

I dont mind Phil Kearns too much as a commentator, little bit one eyeed but not anywhere near as bad as simon poidevon was.

[Tehui1974]

I was at this game back! And I distinctly remember hearing Kearns yell at Fitzy "You're invited to my BBQ, make sure you bring 2 sausages!"

[davenavarroforpm]

Kearnsy is a legend.

[kaezer2]

Biggest WANKER ever!

[kaezer2]

Cant believe Fox Sports still has this idiot commentating matches. He is so one eyed it is not funny. Fuck him off to some pissy radio show where we dont have to listen to the twit.

[Museite]

@gafro - Not really.

FIBA and FIFA both have almost every world nation as members. The IRB have a good proportion of members but it's not rocket science to know that Basketball and Football have way more global mass appeal than rugby.

[GutzGee]

Haha Gary Wheton and Allen Wheton were Dick heads haha My Dad gave Allen a hiding back in the Day but He was scared of Gary haha

[kenleefive]

yea kearns... its awsome cause my last name is kearns 2, and im aussie 2

AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE

[kenleefive]

yea kearns... its awsome cause my last name is kearns 2

[Marz2605]

haha kearns reckon he said "two sausages at tonight's barbecue please!"

[RedBullgivYaWings]

league is a crap version of rugby.

[Aussiephil99]

Kearns and Fitzpatrick are mates......so why all this childish arguing......I' m sure they had a beer after the game

[ihavenopantson]

well you can have league and AFL, no one else in the world even cares about them

[lapalad]

@ihavenopantson Thats because no one else in the world is tough or skilful enough to play them

[j13chatfield]

@ihavenopantson yeah were also gona have rugby this year bitch

[rifflord235434f43]

@ihavenopantson

By your logic you shouldn't care about rugby--but about soccer.

[coezi]

@rifflord235434f43 Yeh but poofs play soccer

[taipan185]

@ihavenopantson Actually you are wrong .... AFL is being played here in the US and is gaining a decent following and I watched the AFL grand final just the other weekend here on ESPN HD. However I haven't seen a single game of the rugby world cup even get a mention here yet. Don't get me wrong I like Union aswell but don't get sucked into believing it's the only one with international appeal.

[ecksile]

lol u guys can have union, its only a very small part of sydney that actually gives a fuck about rugby, the rest is either league or afl

[Marz2605]

rugby is the second most popular team sport in the world

[Museite]

@Marz2605

Not true, the top two are Football (soccer) & Basketball

[driffter1976]

Yawn, how many times do rugby fans have to drag that stale stat out?

[RedBullgivYaWings]

No. This shit doesnt happen in todays game of rugby. If someone did that today the media would be on their arse for weeks.

[pageois]

Did the nasty wasty Wawwabe make Fitzy cwy? One day you'll have two World Cups, too. You should by now; it's your national game afterall. To most of us it's a boutique sport which is delightful when we win, but a bit of ho hum when we don't. Which must really grate on the Kiwis who would just LOVE to have more than a single World Cup (from the 1980s, no less!)

[Museite]

@pageois

Soon there won't be many living AB world up winners left ...

[carlomac]

@pageois

Yea it must be kinda like losing the Rugby League World Cup to the kiwis eh? Haha

[pageois]

@carlomac Not really. Rugby League is only played in two states and is more of neanderthal pastime. Most Aussies couldn't care less. A better analogy would be Australia losing the Cricket World Cup Final to New Zealand. Now that WOULD grate because cricket's our national sport. But I can't be really sure how it would feel. Because it's never happened.

[carlomac]

@pageois

Not to the aussies that I've spoken to - at least not ones that had the balls to admit it. Let's revisit this after the world cup and see how well Australia does. Hopefully NZ doesn't choke like australia in front of a home crowd like Australia did against england hey ;-)

[pageois]

@carlomac As I said, Rugby League is considered more of a neanderthal activity by most Aussies. By most Kiwis, too. Small crowds and even smaller collective IQs. However, it probably explains the feedback you say you've received from some Aussies.  You may well circulate with neanderthals. Anyway, I hope the AB's do OK this year. They must be considered the red hot favourites this time based on form going into the tournament. A strong NZ is good for the game.

[bongo155]

@pageois I dont particularly like league but it vastly more popular in Australia than union - especially in Queensland.

[pageois]

@bongo155 Indeed. Which re-enforces my original remark that Union is a boutique sport over here.

[bongo155]

@carlomac New Zealander talking about choking? I suppose I saw a Paki calling the Australian cricket team cheats. You see some pretty fucking stupid shit written on youtube. Even if the All Blacks do win this year it will be 24 more years until you win another world cup since the AB's can't win a world cup outside NZ.

[carlomac]

@bongo155

an australian cynic. how common you are. mind due, when you don't win a bledisloe cup series for as long as you have, can anyone really blame you?

[bongo155]

@carlomac Sorry, I cant hear you over the noise of two world cups. Remind me how many The All Blacks have won?

[carlomac]

@bongo155

can't hear you over the noise of the bledisloe cup victories. whats that? you don't know the record?

39 (New Zealand) vs 12 (Australia).

oh and world cups? about to be two all. flattering result for australia to be honest.

[bongo155]

@carlomac Lol. Bledisloe cup. NRL matches outrate Bledisloe cup matches in Australia. Plus the AFL. Plus cricket. World Cup is all that counts.

[carlomac]

@bongo155

You're trying to say Bledisloe Cup matches have no importance?? HAHA just because your record sucks doesn't mean it has no importance. What it means is that you're one-eyed and should probably stick to AFL or commentating for channel 7.

[bongo155]

@carlomac To Australians, yes. Compare the TV ratings for the AFL or state of origin to Bledisloe cup. Dont forget rugby isn't a major sport in Australia. League, AFL, Cricket and in many ways soccer are bigger sports than union in Australia. Union only has about 80,000 registered players compared to 400,000+ for cricket, Aussie Rules, league and soccer.

[thecallan008]

@carlomac The ab's play dead set horrible at world cups. I bet who wins the wc will either be Aus, England Sa or Ireland. Pretty much the ab's are good but at world cup's they get done in the arse. History doesnt lie

[ryanthomasmccallum]

@thecallan008 Ireland r u serious dont u mean france ireland are shit, na the abs should have had the 95 wc yea ino i sound like a moaning fuck, but yea na its the truth and knocked out by the french last time seriously did u auctly watch that game dickinson wasnt allowed to ref another game at the tourdment after that effort it was horrific

[thecallan008]

@carlomac Maa nonu has been playing way too shit this year aswell as muliaina. Plus the all blacks are just way too old. Richie mccaw is 30 Dan Carter 29 Mils Muliaina 30 Brad Thorn 36!!! Teams like the Wallabies with a fairly young team will just be too quick for these old all black players too keep up with.

[obi582]

@thecallan008 tell that to the English team back in 2003

[evanderfan]

@thecallan008 age means nothing 29-30 isn't to old for a rugby player there are plenty of players at that age still producing good fitness and speed times even thorn at 36 is in good shape they guy trains the house down and doesn;t abuse alcohol.

The English in 2003 weren't a young team.

[uknowispeaksense]

@carlomac Of course it would be fair if they could split the Bledisloe into three pieces. Keep one in NZ and send the other two to Samoa and Tonga.

[AucklandRulez]

The only thing is, Kearns is all on TV saying "we should be getting rid of the Haka" when there's still rubbish like this on the field, this sort of shit needs to go before the haka does

[lyzahluvzsisko]

yeah after he sucks ur mums

[kungfucamel]

i always thought he said "Two sausages at tonight's barbecue please"

[lyzahluvzsisko]

kearns can suck my balls lol.. fitzy was a world class player.. kearns is a fag..

[brettmac89]

i always thot he said fuck off cunt?

[iggyc61]

All through the game Fitzpatrick had been giving it to Kearns, who was on debut, I think. In the scrums he was saying things like "What are you doing here, boy?" Kearns said nothing back and let his play do the talking....until he scored! (They are friends now, so if they can get over it, so can you).

[mcnesta80]

@iggyc61 To be fair to Fitzpatrick, Tom Lawton gave him the exact same welcome to test rugby when Fitzpatrick made the team in '86, when the main ABs were banned cos of going to S. Africa. Kearns came from Randwick reserve grade to replace Lawton. Fitzpatrick couldn't believe that Lawton was dropped and served up a massive sledging in honour of an opponent he had respected. When you consider that's 3 of the best hookers ever, this moment has a sort of poetic beauty for front rowers everywhere.

[gordopark13]

Fitzpatrick was an arsehole thats why he gave him the bird

[NathanPickering]

no class

you have to be kidding me

nz often show no respect when they play

[BlindT0RtureKill]

New Zealand had already won the series and the bledisloe Cup

[DaddyFabalus]

All you kiwis should watch the many NZ highlights instead of trying to bring down a wallaby great.

I like this try because it's how people react in amatuer rugby.

[Marz2605]

what do you mean "no class"? the guy he gave the fingers to use to sledge him all the time so he finally got his own back.

[timflan1234]

hahaha to the description by nopantson. It says typical aussie no class.

haha come on man.How do we not have any class hahahahahaha

[the0chap]

the videos unavailable now, i was really looking forward to seeing that

[johnnytanini]

Kearns copped it from Fitzpatrick early in his career. It was his way of giving some of it back.

[ChubbMuff]

He got a world cup too. Fitzy just got fat.

[mickser101]

Kearnsey is a right prick, no respect

[stevehunniford]

Yeah ya got that right , he is a right prick like most aussies

[BROOKS39]

I think Kearnsey said "That fucked ya" to Fitzpatrick! Lol

[MrTurlington]

LOL. Back in the day before professionalism. Today, that would be referred to the video umpire and reported, plus fines etc...
