well hes a good fullback hes the reason im playing rugby because of his step but in defence na hes not the best. but hes damb good.shane is pretty good aswell look at his tries and see jasons but shanes made alot more freak tries than jason?
@rugby2413 You clearly are ignoring the first 65 minutes of Williams on Saturday because you are Welsh. He was innocuous until he decided to actually play against a 13 man Scotland.
And I'm not English, I'm Irish, and still think Robinson is better.
@rugby2413 Williams is good, just nothing on Robinson. How often do you see Williams burn the ground like Robinson did vs. Wales in 2003? Did Robinson ever have a season as bad as Williams's last year?
And as for his 2 Lions tries, I could have finished them! It was Flutey and Heaslip that did all the work.
Stats mean jack, Williams runs in loads of tries. Robinson created them out of nothing.
you say people help robinson score the tries...jason robinson is the one the created the tries for himself and other players on HIS TEAM. take a look at 1.28, jason robinson plays with HIS TEAM creating tries for HIS TEAM. that's what a team player is...
NOW THEY WOULD BE THE BEST BACKLINE EVER NO 1 COULD STOP THAT FUCKING TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO JASON ROBINSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firstly, who is your scrum-half? Secondly, why is Giteau at fly-half instead of Carter? Thirdly, why is O'Driscoll playing inside centre rather than outside? Fourthly, why is Williams playing outside centre when he plays either wing or scrum-half? Fifthly, why is Percy Montgomery in the team when he is well past his best?
It's making me lol that I see comments on this page saying SHANE FUCKING WILLIAMS is in the same league or better than Robinson.
Seriously. Just no. Williams is an overrated piece of crap. I think the Lions tour showed that. Who turned up? O'Driscoll. Roberts. Croft. Not fucking Williams.
williams his a great player in union. robinson reached the great heights in BOTH codes not just one code of rugby. that makes him one of the greatest rugby (league and union) players of all time.
the thing about williams is that he either plays amazing or (as most the time) shite like in the last lions match, robinson always plays nearly as best as he can every match
what has shane williams achieved that robonson hasnt tournament wise...(2 world cup finals, 1 world cup win) robinson has a better step, better pace, better defence, better kicking and better passing, he leaves shane williams for dead!!!!!
and most importantly, robinson made the right decision every time, if he couldent see a weakness in the opponents defence, he would just make sure he retained possesion or territory. wiliams runs *every* time he gets the ball, cant kick and looses possesion in the breakdown far too much in my opinion. he is not a complete player, where as jason was just as threatening on a run but could do everything else too.
Shane Williams is a player wtith obvious weakness but he got round it.
Billy Whiz is simply a legend in both code.
Let's not forget, Shane got his player of the year award not only because Wales got the grand slam, also Shane made the scoreline flattering at times. In the golden era of England they didn't need player to make them look good.
Jason robinson should be knighted- he is easily one of the best players of the century. he is/was never appreciated as much as should be unlike other English talents like Cipriani (is that how you spell it) and Henson
"Billy Whizz" was in a class of his own. That's a comment from his fellow professionals as well as us mere amateurs. From league, he'd never had to kick out of hand and showed his commitment and ability to nail down the England fullback jersey as well as wing. RARE TALENT.
What are you on about? The beauty of Robbo was that he could go through a gap that others couldn't. In space, over 50 or 60 meters he could and would be caught. Over 20 metres, dancing between players or accelerating through a gap he shouldn't have been able to get through, then he couldn't be touched.
cipriani has the potential to be the best fly half in the world. Jason robinson is one of a kind, no one can match his acceleration from a standin start or his sidestepping.
@yonnerman- Jasons been my idol and favourite player ever since i started in playing rugby which was about 4 years ago and im a fullback and winger but the only reason why im there because im so tall= 6 ft 6. Ive got the Jason sidestep and Jasons ball skills but jason cant really tackle so i wouldnt say he's the best fullback ever. In my opion i think its Cristain Cullen
I don't even care about agreeing to disagree; Robinson was more talented than Shane Williams will ever be, he could play both codes naturally and effortlessly; he scored 422 points overall in his union career, shane williams has scored 418, bearing in mind williams has never even played league or scored a try yet for the british lions; Robinson will be remembered as a rugby great by all nationalities who know him, and he's English, get over it....
They're pretty specific to say thier ''fake'', check wikipedia, and search for each player, all will be revealed; Robinson is better just down to his sheer pace, agility and power for his size....
Fair enough :) wikipedia is quite unreliable with its sources lol... Truthfully i enjoy watching both of them play, Shane is definately one of the best wingers out there at the moment, but because im from england, im always going to look back at that try robinson scored against australia to help secure the 2003 world cup; i really enjoyed watching the wales victory over tonga was it? or samoa? in the 2007 WC when shane ran a large section of the pitch to score a try, that was brilliant....
You should watch more of Robinson's league career. He could do things that would leave William's awake at night in a cold sweat. Robinson a truly great player - William's a very great WINGER. He can only play on the wing and score tries, exactly what you want from your wing man but Robinson could lift a team by his very presence from the ordinary to the realms of the extra ordinary. Watch Eng 0 - 36 SA to see how great a player he was.
Offiah speed machine with incredible skill, sidesteps, dummies and the ultimate try scoring finisher... 3rd in the all-time Try scorers list in the history of the game.
Williams has no where near the overall quality, ability to read the game or natural ability that Robinson had. A frightening line up: Gregan (9), Wilkinson (10), Lomu (11), O'Driscoll (12), Nonu (13), Habana (14) and Robinson (15)?
that's a frightening line up, except O'Driscoll at 13 and a theoretically full form Gavin Henson at 12 (we all looked forward to that combo in the 2005 lions tours except that Faking Sir Clive decided Wilko would be better 12)
wen he was injured in the world cup i actual fekt sad bec i fort it was a extreme loss to the game bec i pay alot of respect to the guy i cnt decid who is better tho shane or robinson :/ its really hard obviously bec im welsh im gonna favour williams.
robinson is/was much better than williams. yeah williams is really good but only wen wales play well, robinson has always been quality even if england are playing like shit (90% of the time)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
erm mate weve(wales) been in soem real dark times when williams ha splayed and hes always scored, Robinson played for england through their best ever period. Williams is much better than robinson ever was.
well he played when they won a world cup and a grand slam inb the same, year their best ever period. Lomu was possibly the best, but you cant rule out campasee. He was sheer class and for a longer peiod than lomu, but lomu was so explosive.
Not even close, robinson was a very good player for around 2 years in union in a top class england side that created lots of chances for him, williams has been world class and prolific even through tough times for welsh rugby and now he has some decent ball hes destroying pretty much every opposition he comes up against. Williams can change a game on his own like the great gearld davies.
2 years?! wtf mate? did you nt watch these tries? hes been skinning entire teams with these runs for years, look at all the kits he plays in, theres at least 5 in there.
Bollocks, in the world cup when England lost to South Africa Robinson still managed to play out of his skin, and he was the only englishman that threatened in the entire match.
Robinson was good, very good, but IMO there's no way he's "legend" material. That tag should be reserved for players like Danie Gerber, Tim Horan, Michael Jones, Richard Hill, Buck Shelford, Phillipe Sella, Sean Fitzpatrick, There are obviously others. Robinsons assets were his ferocious accelleration, change of direction and the vision to pick out the fatboys in a defensive line, but he wasn't particularly fast, his hands were no more than adequate as was his kicking (eventually).
look at his achievements though, rugby league great britain, england rugby union, lions tour, guiness premiership winner. not to mention the fact that he was an alcoholic, and was able to turn it around to become one of the most exciting players in the world
loool. amazing. i have yet to come across a video commentry area on youtube which didnt sport a couple of silly individuals having a pussy internet fight. It is refreshing that an American has no part in it this time, though
aaronwhitty, your sucha fucking muppet :D at the end of the day his record speaks for its self. I love watching good rugby, no matter what the team, and he is one of the best by far, your just a smelly, fat faggit cock loving prick :D Just because jason robinson is awesome doesn't mean other players aint, dont get so upset fatty boy :D
haha you're so right all he can do is side step. That's why so many players were always able to tackle him. He never made yards or scored mad tries....oh wait.
If he was a one dimensional player they would have figured him out in 1 season. He was never figured out and he humiliated some of the best players in the world with his skills.
There IS NO DOUBT Jason Robinson was one of the best players ever. Asronwhitty, I feel seriously sorry u if u ment that. cus u must have something seriously wrong with you to beleive what u said.
We're consistent in that We've come 1st and 2nd in consecutive World Cups and then 2nd in 6N. Anyway.. only Cirpriani? Sheridan, Shaw, Noon, Tait, Strettle, Lewsey, Ellis and now Johnson is our leader. Wales won the 6N because of 3/4 players.
People that say robinson is the best of all time are the so called 'fans' who began watching rugby when eengland went through a good spell in 2003. If they knew anything about rugby, by his own admitance, robinson is no way near the likes of lomu, campase, caucau, JJ williams and many others. You may need to search those names on youtube to find why robinson isnt the best,
Lomu??? Cacau??? Not even close. Get with the program pal. Given it 10 years. Robinson will mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Campese etc. The guy proved himself in both codes of the game. Name 1 other player who has done that? Its was than ks to the likes of Robinson, that helped England take their unbeaten run to 16 games (world record). By his own admitance? When? His acions speak for themselves. End of.
Jonathan davies, there you go, told he was to small to play league, went over to it and ruled in it. To say Lomu and caucau arent close is laughable. I suggest you look at more of their videos on here before posting rubbish like this, hes not even in the top 15 scorers off all time., how can he be the best winger? and dont coem up with the argument he was over at league for ages, williams has been a winger since 2003 and is 5 tries of the all time record.
And how many of those 16 unbeaten games did he play a big role in? england played 10 man rugby through that period, playing on the wing didnt contribute alot to it. Anyone that has rugby knowledge, eevn the most biased of england supporters will admit robinson definetley wasnt the best of all time, not even the best of his era.
I have looked at their videos. Cacau is a sevens player for starters. Robinson was a utility back, played most of it at full back u nonce! U seem anti england. Where do u come from? NZ? (couldn't win a world cup if it slapped them in the face) or Aus? (well need I go back to the world cup for those half wits!)
U obviously aren't old enough to remember back to 2001. 10 man rugby??? Eh? Do u even watch the sport or do u listen to what others have told u!?!
obviosuly you didnt look at caucau, he plays for agen in france, used to play for the blues in NZ, and was the star of the 2003 world cup for fiji scoring 3 sensational trys. Robinson didnt play most of his game as full back. he moved their after the world cup in 2003, and swapped around alot with lewsey. I come from wales if you must know, you know the team thats just won the grand slam including beating england at twickenham.
10 man rugby is a phrase used by real rugby fans that means the team tends to just kick the ball, and then keep the ball close to the forwards, which england are infomous for, that and being very boring. Im a huge rugby fan and have been since i was6, ive also played since i was 7, my dad was a welsh u21 player, only having his carrer stopped by a broken skull, he then went onto coach at division 1 level and has been highly praised for his work by the likes of phill bennet,hes an old player btw
HAHAHA! please spare me your CV! Listen shithead, I've played rugby at a decent level (premiership development level). Was a star of the 2003 world cup with 3 tries??? 3 tries??? Its not the number of tries which makes u a great player as I'm sure phil bennet would have told your father, or if he was any sort of coach, would tell u himself. BTW which Div 1 team did he coach?
And finally, u clearly are a patronising (look it up in a dictionary) little shit if u go on about Wales' GS win. Good luck to u. Come back to me when u win a World Cup, u know, when it really matters! Cause at the end of the day, as in previous years, Wales will end up contesting for the wooden spoon. Its consistency which counts. Not a 5 game quick winning streak! If you've been a rugby fan since 6, that makes u about 11 by now, no?
you obviously arent that knowlegeable about rugby, you didnt even no who caucau was!! WATCH THE BLIMEN TRYS to find out y he was the star u numpty. ok consistency. Reaching a worl dcup final then losing to US AT TWICKENHAM then scotland. you havent won anything since 2003, you can only live of 2003 for so long. im 17 if you must know, but clearly have considerably more rugby knowledge than you.
At least we have a structure going forward, 2 of the best coaches in the world, all u have is tranny cipriani (he slept with a sheman, incase you didnt get that, i mean u didnt even no who caucu was, jonny wiklkinson? do u no him yeh?)
Fuck me your just a school kid!!! If I'd known that from the start I wouldn't have bothered replying to your bone statement. When you've finished playing touch/semi-contact rugby, maybe you will have an idea what your mumbling about! Until then, fuck off!!!! Fuck kid!
spurstillidie, b4 YOU comment mate u need to do your research too. Robinson was never an out and out try scorer, he was a game breaker. He was at his best in league and even then he wasnt the most prolific player, martin offiah and others scored more. but he was easily the most devasting runner in the world. Ive got rugby knowledge bud (unlike u) and im telling u now HE WAS one of if not thhe best in his era (and the players will say the same) if not one of the best ever.
hullamalla, ur comments are an insult to the true legends fo teh game, one of the best ever? to me your comments sound very similar to that of those post 2003 rugby fans, who know nothing about rugby before that time. Blanco, campaese, lomu, caucau are true legends of the game. Robinson isnt in the same league as these guys. How many breaks did robinson do in his final 3 years, hardly any, to call him a rugby great by that perhaps shwos where the england rugby team are going wrong.
How many breaks did Robinson do in his last three years?
Well I would suggest you watch the replays of his games in the World Cup and his last game for the Barbarians. Against France he lauched a run that should have led to a try, same against Australia and against South Africa he single handedly held the entrie Springbok side at bay with his running. Jason was more elusive than Lomu, fitter than Caucau, better at kicking than Blanco and stronger than Campese. You obviously dont know rugby.TWAT
he chose to retire on his own terms, he's hurt us (wales) so many times, but i think the whole of world rugby will miss him, so dangerous in attack, and a true gent. (no offense england) but he was of the few english players who were great to watch.
feels wrong that a guy like robinson, who could probs still run rings around the opposition should retire, but oh well.
I know what you mean about one of the few english players who were great to watch. England produces some great backs who have great running rugby. Just they never seem to get into the first team set up or if they do they never see the bloody ball. Robo was one of the best of any nation in both codes and I as an England fan a Sale fan and a rugby fan miss seeing him.
its fair to see we play very different styles, and england have a massive population compared to wales, i envy england in that you have such a massive amount of strength in depth in terms of the players you can call on.
Think I envy about Wales is the management set up has finally been sorted. England have ruined an entire generation of players through mismanagement and a totally incompetent RFU set up. I honestly think Francis Baron, Rob Andrew and other high ups should be thrown from the roof of twikenham. I mean we let your lot get hold of Sean Edwards and he was gagging to coach England!!! How stupid are they?!??!
more elusive than lomu??!?! ok ur defintley a post 2003 fan. watch some videos on youtube of lomu in his prime. Robinson is no way near him. and dont give me he made lots of breaks againt SA for babas, martyn williams made more breaks, its hardly a competitive fixture. Even in the world cup he was hardly instrumental with his breaks, the fact england hardly scored any tries underlined that.
Who writes off Blanco and Campases?? It's you who clearly writes them off when not listening to their plaudits of Jason Robinson, universally herladed, ESPECIALLY by legends like Blanco and Capmpo, as one of the greatest backs of all time. They admit that Jason could do things they couldnt. And as for the BarBars, Jason was on for 53 minutes, his breaks are from full back, not flanker and he was running against the World cup back line, not surprising he made less than Williams.
Lomu in his prime, would that be the 1995 world cup final? Lomu was a one trick pony, it was a very good trick, but all he relied on was his strength and pace to bash through half gaps or over men. He was easily handeled by the Springboks, unlike Robinson who even in the England capitulation in the pool stages, always beat men, always made ground and always hit the right line. The quality of the support play stopped tries because there was no one to exploit his efforts.
and robinson was easily handled for almost every international between 2004-2007. If robinson made so many breaks in the world cup how come they only manged 1 try in the final 3 games, and that was from a flukey bounce. Robinson isnt even better than S williams. Now he is becoming a true rugby great.
What the fuck are you talking about? How was he easily handeled? He beat the first player well over 85% of the time? How can they be handeling him if he was running past them? Have you ever actually played rugby or are you another armchair pundit who thinks he knows what consititutes a great player? Everyone, including any player you ever care to mention will tell you Jason Robinson was a uniquely gifted legend of the game. He was, without a doubt one of the best backs EVER. Fact.
Not yet. Doesn't have the defence that Jason had nor has he ever, like Jason, done it in two sports. He's a good player at the minute but I have yet to ever see Shane Williams break a game against a really top team. He was good in a substandard six nations but he's done nothing yet.
5 tries of becoming the worlds highest scorer off all time, ripped NZ to shreds in 2003 at world cup, scored tries against S.A and aus also(inlcuding the winner against them in 2005) Has won 2 grand slams. is considered by some as currently the best in the world. is one of the best game breakers ever. id say hes done something. his attack is alot better than robinsons was.
No, he's considered one of the best try scorers, not game breakers. What he does is finishes moves very, very well, sometimes from positions when they should have collapsed. He doesn't lift a team by his very presence or scare the opposition by his presence. Shane Williams is in fact 28 tries away from being the top try scorer (the top scored 69 tries from 58 test Williams has already had 57 tests). Also Robinson played the last half of his career in Union. Add his league tries to his tally.
Actually I looked back over this and some other videos and realise, you know dick about rugby. You are not worth arguing with as you do NOT know what constitutes a great player. You are ignorant and I wash my hands of you. Try playing rugby rather than being a little gobshite.
for starters i do play rugby, im not sure if you do but if you notice ive tried to keep this whole debate sivalised, where as youve just resorted to calling me names such as 'dick' and 'gobshite' which suggests to me your not a real rugby man, if you cant argue without calling me names. Bevelbob is exactly rite, and williams just finishes move, i doubt u watched any of the 6 nations then did you, top scorers and was that winning try v france really just 'finishing a move?' obviously not.grow up
Really, a rugby man never swears does he? In all honesty I've rarely found a group of more petulant vociferous people than a collection of rugby players. Secondly Williams is so MASSIVELY overhyped. Very quick, side step but he's not got a kicking game to speak of and is never mroe than average in defence. BelvelBob is wrong about Robinson's kicking and hands, he cought 100% od the ball kicked to him and statistically was Englands best kicker for position in the 2007 world cup not St Johnny.
to get carried on the shoulder of chabal says it all,
But do we have the new J R in the shape of Manu ?

Shane Williams is a player wtith obvious weakness but he got round it.
Billy Whiz is simply a legend in both code.
Let's not forget, Shane got his player of the year award not only because Wales got the grand slam, also Shane made the scoreline flattering at times. In the golden era of England they didn't need player to make them look good.

"Billy Whizz" was in a class of his own. That's a comment from his fellow professionals as well as us mere amateurs. From league, he'd never had to kick out of hand and showed his commitment and ability to nail down the England fullback jersey as well as wing. RARE TALENT.

"Robinson always needed space to use his pace..."
What are you on about? The beauty of Robbo was that he could go through a gap that others couldn't. In space, over 50 or 60 meters he could and would be caught. Over 20 metres, dancing between players or accelerating through a gap he shouldn't have been able to get through, then he couldn't be touched.

@yonnerman- Jasons been my idol and favourite player ever since i started in playing rugby which was about 4 years ago and im a fullback and winger but the only reason why im there because im so tall= 6 ft 6. Ive got the Jason sidestep and Jasons ball skills but jason cant really tackle so i wouldnt say he's the best fullback ever. In my opion i think its Cristain Cullen

I don't even care about agreeing to disagree; Robinson was more talented than Shane Williams will ever be, he could play both codes naturally and effortlessly; he scored 422 points overall in his union career, shane williams has scored 418, bearing in mind williams has never even played league or scored a try yet for the british lions; Robinson will be remembered as a rugby great by all nationalities who know him, and he's English, get over it....

matty78920 3 years ago
They're pretty specific to say thier ''fake'', check wikipedia, and search for each player, all will be revealed; Robinson is better just down to his sheer pace, agility and power for his size....

What about the 4 years he played at Neath before it turned into the ospreys? Those points arent there.
I'll happily agree Robinson was great but im more of a Shane man.
matty78920 3 years ago
Fair enough :) wikipedia is quite unreliable with its sources lol... Truthfully i enjoy watching both of them play, Shane is definately one of the best wingers out there at the moment, but because im from england, im always going to look back at that try robinson scored against australia to help secure the 2003 world cup; i really enjoyed watching the wales victory over tonga was it? or samoa? in the 2007 WC when shane ran a large section of the pitch to score a try, that was brilliant....
Stavvers100 3 years ago
You should watch more of Robinson's league career. He could do things that would leave William's awake at night in a cold sweat. Robinson a truly great player - William's a very great WINGER. He can only play on the wing and score tries, exactly what you want from your wing man but Robinson could lift a team by his very presence from the ordinary to the realms of the extra ordinary. Watch Eng 0 - 36 SA to see how great a player he was.

Williams has no where near the overall quality, ability to read the game or natural ability that Robinson had. A frightening line up: Gregan (9), Wilkinson (10), Lomu (11), O'Driscoll (12), Nonu (13), Habana (14) and Robinson (15)?

Robinson was a much better player than williams is and ever will be
rugbyrules2008 3 years ago 3
Not even close, robinson was a very good player for around 2 years in union in a top class england side that created lots of chances for him, williams has been world class and prolific even through tough times for welsh rugby and now he has some decent ball hes destroying pretty much every opposition he comes up against. Williams can change a game on his own like the great gearld davies.

Robinson was good, very good, but IMO there's no way he's "legend" material. That tag should be reserved for players like Danie Gerber, Tim Horan, Michael Jones, Richard Hill, Buck Shelford, Phillipe Sella, Sean Fitzpatrick, There are obviously others. Robinsons assets were his ferocious accelleration, change of direction and the vision to pick out the fatboys in a defensive line, but he wasn't particularly fast, his hands were no more than adequate as was his kicking (eventually).

People that say robinson is the best of all time are the so called 'fans' who began watching rugby when eengland went through a good spell in 2003. If they knew anything about rugby, by his own admitance, robinson is no way near the likes of lomu, campase, caucau, JJ williams and many others. You may need to search those names on youtube to find why robinson isnt the best,
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
Lomu??? Cacau??? Not even close. Get with the program pal. Given it 10 years. Robinson will mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Campese etc. The guy proved himself in both codes of the game. Name 1 other player who has done that? Its was than ks to the likes of Robinson, that helped England take their unbeaten run to 16 games (world record). By his own admitance? When? His acions speak for themselves. End of.
acolyte04 4 years ago
Jonathan davies, there you go, told he was to small to play league, went over to it and ruled in it. To say Lomu and caucau arent close is laughable. I suggest you look at more of their videos on here before posting rubbish like this, hes not even in the top 15 scorers off all time., how can he be the best winger? and dont coem up with the argument he was over at league for ages, williams has been a winger since 2003 and is 5 tries of the all time record.
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
And how many of those 16 unbeaten games did he play a big role in? england played 10 man rugby through that period, playing on the wing didnt contribute alot to it. Anyone that has rugby knowledge, eevn the most biased of england supporters will admit robinson definetley wasnt the best of all time, not even the best of his era.
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
I have looked at their videos. Cacau is a sevens player for starters. Robinson was a utility back, played most of it at full back u nonce! U seem anti england. Where do u come from? NZ? (couldn't win a world cup if it slapped them in the face) or Aus? (well need I go back to the world cup for those half wits!)
U obviously aren't old enough to remember back to 2001. 10 man rugby??? Eh? Do u even watch the sport or do u listen to what others have told u!?!
acolyte04 4 years ago
obviosuly you didnt look at caucau, he plays for agen in france, used to play for the blues in NZ, and was the star of the 2003 world cup for fiji scoring 3 sensational trys. Robinson didnt play most of his game as full back. he moved their after the world cup in 2003, and swapped around alot with lewsey. I come from wales if you must know, you know the team thats just won the grand slam including beating england at twickenham.
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
10 man rugby is a phrase used by real rugby fans that means the team tends to just kick the ball, and then keep the ball close to the forwards, which england are infomous for, that and being very boring. Im a huge rugby fan and have been since i was6, ive also played since i was 7, my dad was a welsh u21 player, only having his carrer stopped by a broken skull, he then went onto coach at division 1 level and has been highly praised for his work by the likes of phill bennet,hes an old player btw
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
HAHAHA! please spare me your CV! Listen shithead, I've played rugby at a decent level (premiership development level). Was a star of the 2003 world cup with 3 tries??? 3 tries??? Its not the number of tries which makes u a great player as I'm sure phil bennet would have told your father, or if he was any sort of coach, would tell u himself. BTW which Div 1 team did he coach?
acolyte04 4 years ago
And finally, u clearly are a patronising (look it up in a dictionary) little shit if u go on about Wales' GS win. Good luck to u. Come back to me when u win a World Cup, u know, when it really matters! Cause at the end of the day, as in previous years, Wales will end up contesting for the wooden spoon. Its consistency which counts. Not a 5 game quick winning streak! If you've been a rugby fan since 6, that makes u about 11 by now, no?
acolyte04 4 years ago
you obviously arent that knowlegeable about rugby, you didnt even no who caucau was!! WATCH THE BLIMEN TRYS to find out y he was the star u numpty. ok consistency. Reaching a worl dcup final then losing to US AT TWICKENHAM then scotland. you havent won anything since 2003, you can only live of 2003 for so long. im 17 if you must know, but clearly have considerably more rugby knowledge than you.
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
At least we have a structure going forward, 2 of the best coaches in the world, all u have is tranny cipriani (he slept with a sheman, incase you didnt get that, i mean u didnt even no who caucu was, jonny wiklkinson? do u no him yeh?)
spurstillidie07 4 years ago
Fuck me your just a school kid!!! If I'd known that from the start I wouldn't have bothered replying to your bone statement. When you've finished playing touch/semi-contact rugby, maybe you will have an idea what your mumbling about! Until then, fuck off!!!! Fuck kid!

Gcontrol2007 3 years ago
spurstillidie, b4 YOU comment mate u need to do your research too. Robinson was never an out and out try scorer, he was a game breaker. He was at his best in league and even then he wasnt the most prolific player, martin offiah and others scored more. but he was easily the most devasting runner in the world. Ive got rugby knowledge bud (unlike u) and im telling u now HE WAS one of if not thhe best in his era (and the players will say the same) if not one of the best ever.
hullamalla 3 years ago
hullamalla, ur comments are an insult to the true legends fo teh game, one of the best ever? to me your comments sound very similar to that of those post 2003 rugby fans, who know nothing about rugby before that time. Blanco, campaese, lomu, caucau are true legends of the game. Robinson isnt in the same league as these guys. How many breaks did robinson do in his final 3 years, hardly any, to call him a rugby great by that perhaps shwos where the england rugby team are going wrong.
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
How many breaks did Robinson do in his last three years?
Well I would suggest you watch the replays of his games in the World Cup and his last game for the Barbarians. Against France he lauched a run that should have led to a try, same against Australia and against South Africa he single handedly held the entrie Springbok side at bay with his running. Jason was more elusive than Lomu, fitter than Caucau, better at kicking than Blanco and stronger than Campese. You obviously dont know rugby.TWAT
crash669 3 years ago 2
he chose to retire on his own terms, he's hurt us (wales) so many times, but i think the whole of world rugby will miss him, so dangerous in attack, and a true gent. (no offense england) but he was of the few english players who were great to watch.
feels wrong that a guy like robinson, who could probs still run rings around the opposition should retire, but oh well.
DavidRhys1988 3 years ago
I know what you mean about one of the few english players who were great to watch. England produces some great backs who have great running rugby. Just they never seem to get into the first team set up or if they do they never see the bloody ball. Robo was one of the best of any nation in both codes and I as an England fan a Sale fan and a rugby fan miss seeing him.
crash669 3 years ago
its fair to see we play very different styles, and england have a massive population compared to wales, i envy england in that you have such a massive amount of strength in depth in terms of the players you can call on.
but hey we're doing alright ;)
DavidRhys1988 3 years ago
Think I envy about Wales is the management set up has finally been sorted. England have ruined an entire generation of players through mismanagement and a totally incompetent RFU set up. I honestly think Francis Baron, Rob Andrew and other high ups should be thrown from the roof of twikenham. I mean we let your lot get hold of Sean Edwards and he was gagging to coach England!!! How stupid are they?!??!
crash669 3 years ago
more elusive than lomu??!?! ok ur defintley a post 2003 fan. watch some videos on youtube of lomu in his prime. Robinson is no way near him. and dont give me he made lots of breaks againt SA for babas, martyn williams made more breaks, its hardly a competitive fixture. Even in the world cup he was hardly instrumental with his breaks, the fact england hardly scored any tries underlined that.
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
To question my rugby knowledge and write off blanco and campases with such ease underlines that it is defintley you who knows nothing.
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
Who writes off Blanco and Campases?? It's you who clearly writes them off when not listening to their plaudits of Jason Robinson, universally herladed, ESPECIALLY by legends like Blanco and Capmpo, as one of the greatest backs of all time. They admit that Jason could do things they couldnt. And as for the BarBars, Jason was on for 53 minutes, his breaks are from full back, not flanker and he was running against the World cup back line, not surprising he made less than Williams.
crash669 3 years ago
Lomu in his prime, would that be the 1995 world cup final? Lomu was a one trick pony, it was a very good trick, but all he relied on was his strength and pace to bash through half gaps or over men. He was easily handeled by the Springboks, unlike Robinson who even in the England capitulation in the pool stages, always beat men, always made ground and always hit the right line. The quality of the support play stopped tries because there was no one to exploit his efforts.
crash669 3 years ago
and robinson was easily handled for almost every international between 2004-2007. If robinson made so many breaks in the world cup how come they only manged 1 try in the final 3 games, and that was from a flukey bounce. Robinson isnt even better than S williams. Now he is becoming a true rugby great.
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
What the fuck are you talking about? How was he easily handeled? He beat the first player well over 85% of the time? How can they be handeling him if he was running past them? Have you ever actually played rugby or are you another armchair pundit who thinks he knows what consititutes a great player? Everyone, including any player you ever care to mention will tell you Jason Robinson was a uniquely gifted legend of the game. He was, without a doubt one of the best backs EVER. Fact.
crash669 3 years ago
then surely shane williams is too then rite?
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
Not yet. Doesn't have the defence that Jason had nor has he ever, like Jason, done it in two sports. He's a good player at the minute but I have yet to ever see Shane Williams break a game against a really top team. He was good in a substandard six nations but he's done nothing yet.
crash669 3 years ago
5 tries of becoming the worlds highest scorer off all time, ripped NZ to shreds in 2003 at world cup, scored tries against S.A and aus also(inlcuding the winner against them in 2005) Has won 2 grand slams. is considered by some as currently the best in the world. is one of the best game breakers ever. id say hes done something. his attack is alot better than robinsons was.
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
No, he's considered one of the best try scorers, not game breakers. What he does is finishes moves very, very well, sometimes from positions when they should have collapsed. He doesn't lift a team by his very presence or scare the opposition by his presence. Shane Williams is in fact 28 tries away from being the top try scorer (the top scored 69 tries from 58 test Williams has already had 57 tests). Also Robinson played the last half of his career in Union. Add his league tries to his tally.
crash669 3 years ago 2
Actually I looked back over this and some other videos and realise, you know dick about rugby. You are not worth arguing with as you do NOT know what constitutes a great player. You are ignorant and I wash my hands of you. Try playing rugby rather than being a little gobshite.
crash669 3 years ago
for starters i do play rugby, im not sure if you do but if you notice ive tried to keep this whole debate sivalised, where as youve just resorted to calling me names such as 'dick' and 'gobshite' which suggests to me your not a real rugby man, if you cant argue without calling me names. Bevelbob is exactly rite, and williams just finishes move, i doubt u watched any of the 6 nations then did you, top scorers and was that winning try v france really just 'finishing a move?' obviously not.grow up
spurstillidie07 3 years ago
Really, a rugby man never swears does he? In all honesty I've rarely found a group of more petulant vociferous people than a collection of rugby players. Secondly Williams is so MASSIVELY overhyped. Very quick, side step but he's not got a kicking game to speak of and is never mroe than average in defence. BelvelBob is wrong about Robinson's kicking and hands, he cought 100% od the ball kicked to him and statistically was Englands best kicker for position in the 2007 world cup not St Johnny.
crash669 3 years ago
