Rhys Priestland Incredible Try - Scarlets v Perpignan - HEC Rugby - 09-10-10

[raysteer]

Great handling, but I can't help thinking that last pass was forward.

[friswell1]

Too bad be was playing crap today \:

[veteranReserveShadow]

dam great try.

[THESUPERHAMSTERMAN]

that shouldnt be a try as number 3 right at the start of the move entered the ruck from the side apart from that amazing try :)

[TheLewmeister]

@THESUPERHAMSTERMAN

Simple answer - it wasn't a ruck....

[joshuarees2006]

i dont know how 1 person let alone 6 can dislike this, clearly not rugby fans

[LikeABoss939]

what a try

Priestland is gonna be big in the future for Wales

reckon Wales are gonna be the team to beat this six nations

and im English

[mazzadude]

@LikeABoss939 I would have said so too, but we've got a few big injuries atm with Adam Jones out and a few others doubtful, may make a big difference. I definitely think we have the best backs though, sadly you need a good pack to make backs effective.

[kenmoeran]

fukin slick



[rereleboss31]

tout simplement magnifique

[rival2k7]

I miss Regan King :(

[snapcracklecal]

see this in super 15, and any pro rugby league game, every week

[matt2k6wales]

@snapcracklecal dont get to over yourself we all watch it over here

[Demonarrows]

@snapcracklecal

ffs the southern hemisphere fans can be so arrogant its insane, appreciate good rugby you narrow minded idiot.

[Raikesi70]

@snapcracklecal Really? Rugby League? The game which we play over here, and appreciate? Don't be so arrogant.

[snapcracklecal]

@Raikesi70 I'm english, was referring more to superleague tbh, a lot of emphasis on keeping the ball alive and moving as a team instead of kicking it to touch

[mazzadude]

@snapcracklecal Difference is these are quality teams playing and to score that standard of try against one of the best European teams is what makes immense. I guarantee none of the shitty tries that come out of your country gets 65,000 views.

[NumberoneWelshfan]

Scarlets at their absolute best....awesome

[zacker2000]

@NumberoneWelshfan ...Ulster

[gratzy2]

biggest mistake ever from warren gatland: putting james hook on in the RWC semi final instead of priestland. all due respect to james hook but he can't control a game like priestland can

[QueenslandRedsHQ]

@gratzy2 Priestland was injured for that match, maybe he shuld have considered stephen jones

[gratzy2]

@QueenslandRedsHQ maybe...'cause james hook was injured before that match, so he wouldn't of been at his best

[Raichu234]

And I see Quins are still unbeaten. Great try but look at the wasps game last week. You'll c how brilliant our tries are 2!

[MrCesk123]

nuh i havent seen that in super 15, this was a PS2 try.

[taweraster]

This is just a try, seen in the Super 15 multiple times.

But for the Heineken cup it's incredible?

[JCB411abuser]

that was gorgeous!!!

[bigfatseven]

as a leinster man i've got to say, that was one of the best tries i've seen in the heineken cup...hope the scarlets produce that in the next round of the hec!

[TreacleMary]

Beautiful passage of rugby.

[mckenzie496]

thumbs up if u stood up!!!!!!

[scrumhalfwing]

@mckenzie496 your a mug

[mckenzie496]

@scrumhalfwing how the commentator just said stand up????? fuck face

[scrumhalfwing]

@mckenzie496 hahaha, stick to begging for thumbs up

[MRGURUSTEVE]

did they win this game i cnt remember cos they deserved too

[N1ghtstar4]

Im a london irish fan and i think scarlets are so under rated im not looking foward to our game with them in the LV cup

[YIHawkeyeIY]

That try was ...... AWESOME !!! Great handling ,awareness and skill. Awesome try !

[luciano53688]

@YIHawkeyeIY yes, just like any french rugby team...

[jacks14fit]

tbh the line out should of been retaken cause he was well over the line when he trough the ball into the line out so :/

[scrumhalfwing]

@jacks14fit he's playing at 9 so he doesn't have to be between the 5 and 15, only within about 2m of the line out and onside, which he is both when its thrown so :/

[jacks14fit]

@scrumhalfwing haha clearly you know a lot kid don't you i was talking about the Perpignan hooker actualy ahahha

[scrumhalfwing]

@jacks14fit thank goodness for that

[scrumhalfwing]

haha, ahahha.

[toffieandsooty]

SCARLETS!!!

[ARLC17]

we are the scarlets we'll do want we want.....

[rocksoliddude1]

if preistland hadnt been injured and if warburton hadnt been sent off in the semis wales would have won the world cup. hook and davies were no match for priestland whatsoever

[Nieghorn]

THIS should be IRB try of the year!!!

[vonteflon]

@Nieghorn I second that. Samo's was a decent try, but was technically fairly simple -just an individual getting the better of a couple of defenders who were caught napping.

THIS is an incredible try, a real team effort with moments of individual brilliance thrown in. The rip at the lineout, the angles of running, the awareness of each other's positions, the anticipation, number of options available to the ball-carrier with 2-3 blokes in close support all the time, the pace, the HANDLING!!!

[MrNipsi]

wales lost to france and aussie because priestland and warburton were missing they are the playmakers in the side...... wales 2015 champs

[keepcalmandlovewales]

fan-bloody-tastic, rhys priestland you absolute babe

[Raichu234]

also Quins haven't lost a game yet! A shame if we were going off the boil! Look at the table!

[NumberoneWelshfan]

bootiful

[zlatkodedic1]

what an amazing try,as good as any all black attempt

[Raichu234]

Quins score those everyday! 

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 Unfortunate, then, that in the last game the two teams played (at the Stoop), the score was 15-15.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony we had our second string out and a pass was called foward which was crap!

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 Scarlets had their second string out, too. I think you'll find that the decision on the forward pass was, in fact, correct. Look at the match stats.

Then open your other eye.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony oh yeah well Quins have won all their games for one reason. We score tries and they are all like that. We have a squad with a massive depth of talent and all of them can play rugby. Glad u beat Leicester though. Oh yeah and who actually won a trophy last season?

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 Your tries are not all like that. You're fantasising. Get a sense of perspective.

" Quins have won all their games for one reason". The Wolrd Cup is on and the big teams haven't got their players back yet?

The only Cup that's worth winning is the HEC. Did you win that?

You sound very much like a football supporter. It's an English thing, I guess.

Though it has to be said, we haven't managed to reach the dizzy heights of having a cheating coaching team.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony Mate you are fasinating! How dare you call me a football supporter! I have never watched that games for mugs in all my life! If you must know I do rugby reporting for my local paper so don't give me that bullshit! Coz all the teams have players out for the world cup please!! Spare me! Gloucester had a full side and we beat them er what...42-6! You have some nerve saying these things about my team i've been supporting all my life!

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony and don't you dare mention bloodgate. That has finished and is all over. I had nothing to do with it. It was all Dean Richards nothing with the team. Yeah but we got to the quarter finals of the HEC which is somewhere you'll never get oh and finishing second in our league...did you get there? I don't think so! You make me laugh. You have the audacity to call me a supported or football, you insult my team when I haven't reall insulted yours!

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony god what is your problem! Sorry to rant on but if you actually supported Quins you should know we had the heighest count of tries for three seasons in a row and that was because oh lets see the tries were bloody good, well maybe not to you but to thousands and thousands of Quins fans yes! Man I can't wait till we thrash you in the LV cup and Nick Evans can thrash preistland any day! Now shut it and leave me alone!

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony oh yeah and how come we came down to your ground and beat you 21-23 when we were 21-3 down! Excuses excuses! You should hear some of the rugby pundits talk about Quins when we score tries! We put 60 points past some teams in our league and trust me the premiership is no mugs game! I have been supporting rugby all my life and a rugby fan so the main reason I'm having a go is coz you called me a football supporter! Now go away!

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 All your life? You're only 19!

You're only as good as your last game.

Remember that Sky generally talk crap over anything in the Aviva. You may like to bear in mind that the quality of the England team is a direct consequence of your premiership, but the pundits tell everyone how wonderful it is, incessantly. They have a product to sell, so they're not going to say it's rubbish, are they? It's the most boring, stale rugby anyone's likely to see.

"Now go away!". No.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony I have been supporting Quins since I was 7 you idget! Oh so your insulting the english league now! Look who's talking like the football supporter, refusing to admit that another team can actually play rugby. Are you in heinken cup this season? Did you finish in the top four of your league? If you did congrats but don't start chipping insults at the enlglish premiership when only 2 Quins players are in the england side!

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 "Idget"? What is this?

I dind't say that Harlequins can't play rugby. I'm not in the EC this season, as I am not a rugby team and am thus ineligible. I am not in a league.

It's not my fault only two Harlequins players are in the England team. I'm not the selector.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony it means idiot get with the times lol :P NO! I am talking about your team, not you numbskull! I'm glad we haven't got many players playing for england coz we win more games! All the more fun for us! There is only one reason why Quins are top of the premiership and teams without their best players is a week and pathetic excuse! Because we are the best at the moment! Deal with it XD

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 " I'm glad we haven't got many players playing for england coz we win more games!"

Then:

" There is only one reason why Quins are top of the premiership and teams without their best players is a week and pathetic excuse!"

The first sentence shows that your use of "excuse" is incorrect. Other players being without their best players, as you observe, is the reason you're doing so well, so rather than an excuse, it's an explanation.

[barnymartin]

@AlanIsHarmony

one of the main reasons quins are top is because we have invested in our academy not foreign stars

and yet we are still missing players with experience that are key to us nick easter maurie fasavalu tom valligos danny care etc

[AlanIsHarmony]

@barnymartin "...we have invested in our academy not foreign stars."

Good for you. Most clubs are doing this because they have to, particularlyy those who aren't actually making a profit. Which is most of them.

"and yet we are still missing players with experience". Apart from one or two teams (Sale, Glaws, etc), who isn't missing key players? It's pro rugby and missing players is all part of it. The measure of a team isn't what happens at the start of a season, it's about where you finish.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony omg no! Just except Quins can play that kind of rugby and move on! We won again yesterday! 4 tries all good and one exactly like that! 8 from 8! Erm no Leicester lost recently with all their best players so ear your words. Sale had a full side when we beat them yesterday. get your facts right!

[AlanIsHarmony]

@Raichu234 So now, instead of your tries "all being like that", you scored 4 tries yesterday and only one of them was like that? Are Harlequins going off the boil? I suppose they must be!

So did Leicester not have any players at the RWC, then?

Again, as English isn't your first language, I was saying that Sale are one of the few teams who haven't lost a lot of players to RWC call ups. I wasn't saying they were better or worse. I couldn't care less what happens in the Aviva. It's of no interest.

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony omg stop putting quotes of my comments into yours. Make up your own argument instead of using mine geez! English is my first language u numbskul. Open your mind. If you are a true rugby fan you'll watch all kinds of teams in different leagues. I watch magners, 1st divison and below and obivously the premiership but there you go slaying my league again! Three of them were like that actually! Leicester had 2 players missing so when we beat them it wasn't a fluke!

[Raichu234]

@AlanIsHarmony Don't you say that that makes Quins rubbish as that has nothing to do with it! How many scarlets players play for wales?! I think 1! I don't insult your league! I watch magners league and love watching Leinster play coz we play like them when are backs are running riot! Oh man I'm looking foward to facing your team now! Come down to the Stoop and get us then! Go on! I'm done with you! Goodbye and long live the mighty Quins!

[barnymartin]

@AlanIsHarmony quite frankly i think you're talking out your arse the English premiership is far superior to the Celtic league

[AlanIsHarmony]

@barnymartin Firstly, you're atlking out of your arse, because there's no such thing as the Celtic league. That ended about 8 years ago.

Glad you're happy with your league, but to qoute a friend of mine, from an email last week: "I'm sick of this game that English clubs continueto play, that has to be the most boring, negative rugby I've seen, regardless of the way Sky like to promote their product (and that's coming from someone who grew up watching Glaws playing ten man rugby)".

Opinions, eh?

[giteausuperstar]

that is a sick try

[TheDuckheadful]

this was an easy try!

[iluvmusicqwe]

O'gara .2

[scleddaubus]

You'd never see skill like that in league! Most league players barely know there's a ball involved in their game!!

[scleddaubus]

You'll never see skill like that in league! Most league players barely know there's a ball involved in their game!

[janushman]

Damn, quick hands!

[gbtv2009]

you see shit like that every week in rugby league.

[AlexIsTheGrunge]

Phenomenal.

[rhysbach100]

I waz there haha wat an amazin try

[GruffJones100]

You wouldn't see a try like that from an English team!

[Raichu234]

@GruffJones100 watch England vs Italy! Six nations mad! Quins score tries like that all day. Reason y we are on top of the league. Wehy is this always about England anyway. We play rugby get over it. Quins would take Scarlets anyday!

[molespad]

@GruffJones100 Im English..... and that is true.

[scottiec2002]

@GruffJones100 course not ;) - it was a great try, shame about the last pass being what is known in the trade as "forward", but hey ho...

[luciano53688]

@GruffJones100 on the other hand, in French rugby we see this kind of try every single day, dude.

[Lepsgreeny]

@luciano53688 Well how come we didn't see a try like this from one of the French teams on the weekend when Scarlets beat Castres, or when Ospreys beat Biarritz, or when Cardiff beat Racing Metro. The Welsh regions dominated the French teams.

[NoRManPrice]

@Lepsgreeny haha nice one! ben morgans try wasn't too far off this one either. near seamless movement up the pitch...

[Ed17cellotape]

@GruffJones100

Brilliant try from a Welsh team against a French team.

Why is the top-rated comment a slight on English teams?

As an Brit (and an Englishman who loved Simon Jones, and was supporting Wales come the World Cup semi-finals), I find this disappointin.

[ed2000888]

@Ed17cellotape... I think your taking something that is tongue and cheek well too serious! At the end of the day purely from a rugby prspctive Wales & England are two county's that are neighbours so you are going to get a bit of banter and rivialry and i just think this guy was highlighting a differance in styles of play! Wales have mostly always played a flamboyant and open style game whereas England have always played a tight 10 man game (its got you to 3 WC finals & WC win!)...

[Enzedder]

Last pass was forward. Bloody NH refs.

[JOEGREEN73]

@Enzedder no it wasn't lol

[pele28]

@JOEGREEN73 well, it really was, lovely try tho, and if there is doubt the ref should give advantage to the attacking side, so glad it wasnt seen, but in hindsight, with the benefit of the replay, it was really forward! lol (and steal from lineout was from player coming from offside position, but ill not mention that!) All said, lovely rugby by Scarlets who have played lots of good rugby this season

[DadaMungo]

@pele28 Turnbull was not offside. Once the ball crosses the 15m line, the lineout is over and it's open play. This has been discussed several times here and elsewhere...

[HaydnM35]

@Enzedder LMAO No it wasn't.

[welshy308]

@Enzedder it wasnt a foward pass it was a flat pass :P

[theaxeman1976]

Excellent stuff.

[MrRyanification]

0:20 The guy that runs onto the pitch in the background :D

[walesxscarlets]

@MrRyanification you mean nigel davies?
