@WaunGronChampion Not sure if I'm picking you up right but are you saying that Williams has something to do with how good Bowe is? If so thats slightly patronising....and not at all true!
@robyn21100 Bowe has raw natural talent. However, with the experience of Shane Williams and the speed and agility he possesses, I'm sure he helped out Tommy when he was slightly younger or if Tommy asked for training advice or something. Don't mean to sound patronising. If I was a winger and Shane Williams was my partner then I'd certainly ask him for advice
@WaunGronChampion Like a mentor I guess...We have some greats on the Irish side aswel don't forget ;) Its probabaly just the patrionism in me but I get ya now..Williams is def one of the best!!
@robyn21100 Might have been a bit of Welsh patriotism in myself too. I hate playing Brian O'Driscoll
and Tommy Bowe in the 6 nations and stuff. Good luck to you boys in the world cup. We've got ourselves some tough games. You've got Aus, we've got S. Africa :/ haha
@WaunGronChampion He hardly ever gets to play his full potential though, opposition always on him like a fat kid on cake ;) Not just the Aussies I'm worried about, dont know if ya caught a glimpse of any of our test games...shocking stuff altogther! ya never know! Best ya luck...I'll be lookin out out for stephen Jones and J Hook! Be nice to bring the cup up here! :)
@robyn21100 Yeah he has sort of dropped off since the Irish grand slam in 2009(?)
Got to respect all the other teams around too. We've managed to pull the group of death. Although we were phenomenal today just no win. It'll be interesting to see if you go with O'Gara or Sexton.
@WaunGronChampion Caught the last few mins of that match against the boks...ye were fairly hammerin into them! Us on the other had, well we're fucked! I'll probably get a thrashing off another Irish fan for saying this but they seemed to have forgotten how to play, its a repeat of 2007...Usually I get angry when they're not playin well but it was just bitter disappointment after sundays game..didnt even come away with a bonus point against one of the weakest teams in the tournament..
@robyn21100 I'll agree that there have been better times to be an Irish rugby fan. Wales were always the same. In the RWC year we always mess up the 6 nations and keep up that sort of form. This year it was slightly different. I only saw the end of Irish game and was surprised that you didn't get the bonus point. An interception wasn't it? You better pick up your game for Aussies otherwise it'll be a real thrashing. I'll be rooting for Ireland throughout unless they face Wales haha
@WaunGronChampion Yup..caused by a terrible pass! Needed a fourth try for the bonus point and I wouldn't mind we had possesion in the last minute but instead of running with it Trimble decided to give it away by just lobbing it up the field..very frustrating! Sure I'm always rootin for Wales..mind you thats probably cause I'm in love with Mike Philips ;)
@robyn21100 Wasn't the best pass I have to say. I had a moment of confusion when he kicked it. Hahaha, after that 6 nations gaff where Mike Philips ran in to score after the quick line out which wasn't supposed to be given I thought Irish wouldn't take to kindly to Mr. Philips.
@WaunGronChampion As pissed of as I was at the time I can honestly say now any player of any team would have gladly gotten away with it, ridiculous as it was, fuckin ref seemed like he hadn't a glue what was goin on..thats just me anyway, I'm a divil for British accents..regardless yer brazen cheating ;) Maybe we'll pull something outta the bag against the aussies...Quade Coopers gonna be problem!
@robyn21100 Hahaha. I won't complain at it though. Was a nice bit of initiative by Mike Philips ;)
Unfortunately I won't be able to see Ireland vs Australia because I have a game myself. But I'll be trying to follow it. I hope they pick up their game for Aussies. Although I have a few Aussie friends and they won't be happy with me saying that haha
@robyn21100 Well, you lads shut me up. You did exactly what you should have done with a great result at the end of it. Hope we can do the same now....
@WaunGronChampion yup..it was pretty awesome! Although there was no tries (came pretty close) I haven't enjoyed a match like that in a long time..the whole team were just pheonomanel..We just weren't letting them play, their arrogance coming into the match was unreal to begin with! Saw ye won against Samoa..I'd say that was a tough, the size of those fuckers....Might be meeting ye soon enough =P
@robyn21100 I didn't see it cos I was away for the day, but I heard that the Aussies were feeling cocky and lost cos of it. Happy with the Samoa game cos thats one of our bogey teams. Hope we can get Quarter or Semi finals and I'll be fairly happy.
the question of best winger in the world, there are too many to count, but luckily the ospreys have 2 of the players who can be labeled best winger in the world, bowe and williams!!!!
Sivivatu, Heymans are definitely not as good as Bowe and on current form he would have to be classed better than Habana. Habana has been on a downward spiral for the last while
Tommy is the best on form this year and hopefully next (being Irish) but in fairness Habana hasnt really got a look with the crap kicking game they have been playing. It wasnt easy being a BOK winger this year!
@johnnyccb2k8 Piss off, Habana is far form overrated you cunt, he didn't get IRB player of the year and score the most tries in RWC history for nothing you idiot. Did you see Habana mark Bowe in the last Lions tour??? you obviously didn't, He flattened him half the time he got the ball, threw him into the stand at one stage. If Ireland even luckily get the chance to play the boks this year, Habana will kill Bowe again!
best wing in the world ??? are you smoking something ( you must be irish) im from southafrica and we all no shane williams and habbana are the best by far... this kid got an interception WOW....
@stevenbenjamincole of course he would, its called modesty, shane would probably not say he is the best himself if asked, unles i dont know him well enough and he happens to cocky. Truth is, shane williams was amazing back when he got player of the year, but he hasnt been at his best recently whereas tommy bowe has been great, as it stands, bowe shows more quality now. Look at Irelands last try vs Wales in the Irish grand slam win, bowe burns Williams =]
Habana has been playin shit recently so not him any way. Shane williams or sivivatu, and im irish btw , tommys not the best yet but hes fuckin brilliant
@twotellys12 Yeah but its not just this time. you can see when he running that he thinks its not a big deal. nearly every time tommy gets a touch of the ball he makes someting out of it. he is definitely on his way to becoming one of the best wings in the world. how many ireland or ospreys matches have you seen lately??
he didnt fucking do anything
Crunkjuicewalkitout 2 months ago
Bowe is good but he's not the best, what about Kahui, Cory Jane or Chris Ashton.
Ashton is the only person that still plays rugby to score 5 tries in 1 match. That's got to count for something?

Bowe is not the world's best winger.
The welsh are good at this, making out they have the best players i.e. Lee Byrne was supposed to be the full back in the world.
Shane williams also still world class player either way.
Adam jones ( Prop)
Sam warburton ( flanker)
Mike phillips ( scrum half)
