all these dickheads saying it wasn't an illegal move go learn the rules he didn't have the ball first illegal move it was a spear tackle second illegal move. I think nz are a great team but there failure to accept and admit that this was a cowardly act is shameful it's time to act like men and face the fact that these 2 shits acted like cowardly thugs and and brought shame to they're team and should have been severley punished.
@Fluticus hahahahahhahahahah go fuck yourself. We are world champions and the Lions are a joke. I hope you enjoy losing your 4th series in a row next year.
now that is a spear tackle - lifted and forced down into the ground head first = red card. hope alan roland rat watches this. Cannot wait until he comes to Wales next month.
@mickfromkerry Tana Umaga bested O'Driscoll on every occasion that they played, and Tana's team never lost to O'Driscoll's. He's a decent player, but it's easy to shine in the Six Nations.
@taweraster dont be ridiculous, south africa should have been beaten by wales, the kick just wasnt allowed. australia beaten by ireland. new zealand were gifted the final by joubert, he allowed them to commit murder at the breakdown. give me a piece of evidence to suggest that 'umaga bested o driscoll on every occasion'
@mickfromkerry No. This is what people in some minor rugby country will remember Umaga for.
In the nations of Rugby who matter Umaga will be remembered as the world's greatest centre for most of his career. BOD might be remembered as the best centre of the NH teams...
@mickfromkerry O'Driscoll isnt even good enough to lick the shit off the bottom of Umaga's boots. Tana will be remebered for being the greatest centre of his generation, thrashing the Lions 3 nil, winning Bledisloe Cups and Tri-Nations and a Grand Slam, scoring 36 tries in 74 tests, winning 19 out of 21 as captain, then carrying on with Wellington, Toulon, the Chiefs and Counties. BOD will be remebered as whiny little bitch who couldnt beat the ABs and lost 47 tests...so far.
@ f10ert anyone who goes on about mccaws "consistent and cynical nature of play' doesnt understand the role of an exceptional openside, or rugby in general.. you really have no idea
@jmarshallrwc2011 Its good to see that you acknowledge that it happened and that it was a foul. From those facts how do you explain what happened? Did they pick him looking for the ball? I'm asking you because Ugama and Mealamu didn't answer these questions when asked by the press and I've assumed by your frequent comments about them and their rugby that you can speak for them.
newzealand are worlds greatest rugby nation, kevin mealmu and tanga umaga, would ahve retired as amongst the greatest players in their respective positions..... there can be no dout what they did to brian o'driscoll was planned and deliberate, it is the most hanious of crimes to take a player out of a game but in fact series, (after the ball had even gone!), and therefore an unfair series.... their legacy will forever remain tainted because of their actions
@dara92cove we dont care what you think, it is only tainted in the mind of people like you who know nothing about rugby. It was an accident but I'm glad it happened. BOD is an obnoxious prick. The Lions were always going to get thrashed.
If this was Shane Byrne and Jonny Wilkinson on Dan Carter then the NZ press/public would have made their lives hell for the rest of the tour, but because it was two of their lads on O'Driscoll they bury their heads in the sand and refuse to recognise blatant assault. The biased and unsporting nature of rugby in New Zealand is shameful.
@Feargface it's like that in every country with regards to their sportsmen though. did the french acknowledge the eye gouge from rougerie was in fact dirty and malicious? did the english punish the right offending players too lightly after their antics in NZ? you badmouth New Zealand and refuse to look anywhere else in the world.
oh, and on a side note, the non-tackle (it was a clear out gone wrong, not a tackle) happened 5 years ago - that's far too long to hold a grudge
@CalluW You're using the French as a moral platform? And I'm not one to defend the English whatsoever, but Tindall is getting £15k fine. Their press is, for the most part, outraged by how badly they behaved and performed in NZ. Why would I look at other countries in this respect when this context focuses on NZ?
It's not so much a grudge, more a disbelief at how blind you are to it. Do you ever imagine what it would have been like if this 'clean out gone wrong' had been on Carter?
@Feargface Assault? Why exactly would these two Rugby greats have any reason to single out O'Driscoll? He wasn't even the best centre on the pitch. It was a clearing of the ruck that went wrong, that's exactly what it is.
This didn't happen to Daniel Carter so using that as an argument is null and void. The inability of average watchers such as yourself is the real injustice.
@irishmurph123 They meant to injure him? He's average at best, he's totally outclassed by every New Zealand centre that he has come up against. The only people that really rate him are the Irish and we all know how average you lot are.
@taweraster if were that average as you say we are how did we beat the Wallabys around the place on the biggest stage of all, THE WORLD CUP. they were the tri nations champions and we beat them. Says alot for ye shower of cunts being bet by them in the tri nations final doesent in.
@irishmurph123 You fellows didn't even make the semi finals and what exactly is your point about them beating us in the tri-nations final, we destroyed them in the semi final of the World Cup, Ireland beat them in pool play that doesn't quite stack up mate.
The fact is Ireland have NEVER beaten New Zealand, Ireland have NEVER won the World Cup and Ireland will forever be New Zealand's Rugby bitch.
@taweraster thats only because the IRB were liking his hole as usual.... It wasnt a fair judgement and o driscoll deserved that award hand down, even NZ people i talked to that year said the same thing
@irishmurph123 Proof? Sounds like the rants of a jealous man, are you mad that New Zealand have won over 80% of all matches played under Graham Henry? Are you mad that only two teams have ever beaten them in the past 8 years? Are you mad that we've got two Rugby World Cups? Are you mad that Ireland have never beaten us?
@taweraster my queen has not knighted him yet ....she should though... its got a good ring to it like sir Edmund Hillary... well done in the world cup as a rugby fan thanks to NZ and the all blacks. fantastic job...
@irishmurph123 bullshit, the only place that cunt is the best player is your Ireland...and as well all know that's not saying much. Stick to hurling or gaelic football you potato licking prick.
@jmarshallrwc2011 where the fuck ya from ya dosy prick..ya havent a clue about rugby all you know is how how to ride men..go lick your fathers ball sack and dont be annoying me ya prick
@irishmurph123 im from auckland, the home of world rugby, seen us win 2 world cup finals at the stadium of greatness eden park, seen secondary school matches of a higher standard than the shit you call rugby, see auckland beat the lions, australia and more, saw legendary blues teams, saw lomu play when he was still as welsely college playing no 8, best of all i get to watch us whip you bitches again 3 nil in june
@jmarshallrwc2011 well see about that.. ireland will probably have a full strength team out against ye disgraceful pricks and ye wont be at yer best because yer season isnt on then, only starting up.well definetly win a test against ye cocky bastards and that will shut ye up once and for all.PS:FUCK OFF YA PRICK!!
@irishmurph123 you dont know when do quit do you? your rugby team does.. usually after 60 mins hahahahah. We've beaten you at the start of our season many times and our players will be coming straight from Super Rugby (a superior competition to anything in the NH including the 6 nations). I dont know why the ABs even bother playing you because even the Highlanders or Hurricances would beat you without breaking a sweat. You aint going to win anything.
@jmarshallrwc2011 My home team leinster are by fr the best club side in the northern hemisphere.. they have the best attacking play in the northern hemisphere and probably better than 85per cent of new zealand club teams.. im not joking they seem to score tries for fun and are better than the national side for some strange reason.. i would love to see leinster playsome of new zealands club rugby teams and see how they would fair out.. i think leinster would win most games
@irishmurph123 you must be on crack lol Leinster vs Saders /Canes/Blues will only result in a whipping for the Leinster unless the game is played on the coldest wettest day possible on a muddy field .That way the high speed NZ game might be slowed down enough to lose in a borefest
@Bokkex leinster are the best attacking side in the northern hemisphere ..better than any new zealand club side in terms of their back play..sexton,o driscoll,nacewa(unbelievable),kearney..too slow?
@irishmurph123 ohhh i know you , i've seen some of your other retarded comments lol . Really think sexton Bod Nacewa have anything on Carter Dagg Maitland Guilford? REALLY?
@Bokkex i think your under estimating nacewa because he is a phenominal player,did you ever see him play? the reason the leinster backs are so good is they have a top class backs coach..
@Bokkex so do you think he is agreat player or not?? by the way brad thorn has joined leinster and will be playing for them at the start of march,cant wait
@taweraster I'm aware where it game from. Nobody's trying to detract from Richie's carrier as it has been immense, just commenting on the consistent cynical nature of his play.
You deserved the tournament, but not the final....ref was a joke, just ask Kaino
@jmarshallrwc2011 You doing a war dance on your keyboard? Looks like we have another respectable kiwi trying a bit of trolling.Great contribution mate.
Amazing how the spin continues. It was never a tackle - let alone a spear tackle. It was simply a clean-out at a ruck. Players are coached to take the legs out so they have to let go of the ball. Watch someone like Lawrence Dallaglio on that tour. It was a clean-out at the ruck that went horribly wrong but what it wasn't - it absolutely was not a tackle, let alone a spear tackle.
@pgf1964 stop talking shite... they meant to injure him and thats all thats to it cus NZ knew O Driscoll was a clear match winner for the lions...... Stop defending NZ cus ya havent a foot to stand on
@irishmurph123 the only people talking shite are the idiots who persist in calling a clean out at a ruck a spear tackle. O'Driscoll was and is a great player and it was an unfortunate incident. It tarnished the otherwise unblemished playing days of 2 highly regarded All Blacks - it is now their cross to bear. But it was never a spear tackle and it was 5 years ago - move on.
Disgusting behaviour. If that happened on the street the two bastards would have got serious jail time. I know (grudgingly) that New Zealand have the best rugby team in the world but it is a poor reflection on it's people that they condone this type of assault - unless of course it happens to one of their own brutes.
@MrAvecool Worlds best player? He's never been the Worlds best player to anyone other than Ireland. He gets outplayed every time he comes across the All Blacks.
I find it shocking how New Zealanders always shout "Racist!" at anyone who makes a comment about one of their players who clearly did something way out of line. The people that shout that word for no reason do so because it describes them to a tea.
You are most likely the same bunch of guys who have shouted "Racist!" then gone on to make absolutely disgusting remarks about Samoans.
@Foreverinmylife1999 the one blemish on his otherwise fantastic career - other players who are 'more highly regarded' have done worse and still Tana is painted as the dirtier player
Bunch of hypocrites criticizing O' Driscoll for having his shoulder dislocated while their uploading videos of poor Richie McCaw getting a knee to the head or a high tackle.
@powli86 except those incidents to 'poor Richie' happened recently, as opposed to the BOD tackle that happened more than 5 years ago. we've already forgotten about the french eye gouge in the world cup that happened a couple months ago, time for you to do the same with this.
@MrEdoD23 suck on this bitch. The Lions have only won 1 series in NZ (40 years ago!!) and now thanks to the IRB we will do our Haka in your backyard just the way we want to and you can't do anything about it. France the only NH team to have beaten us in the past 8 years. England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland are all total shite.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Is everyone blind? That was not a spear tackle. He was tackled strongly, went off his feet but no intention whatsoever to "drive" him or dropping him.
gotta love a good spear tackle. Yess it was a bad tackle and they deserved to be punished, but BOD would not stop winging about it. it happened, now move on
@AonghusV You represent a stupid and dying arguement. How did he whinge about it? Please show me a few sources in the spirit of, I dunno, evidence?
The media hyped it up, and they obviously would as the Lions captain was taken out within one minute of the first test. Like him or not, BOD was probably the best player in the world at the time, its undoubtedly controversial, atleast for the media when something like this happened. They went on about it, not BOD.
@AonghusV At the time he was unanimously the best player in the world. Obviously he isnt now. Its all opinion, but given even the NZ press rated him as just that title at the time, not to mention what he got up too on the pitch, I dont need any further justification. On a side note you missed out the whole point of my comment which was for you to point out sources of BOD whinging.
@grantworld, Mealamu a good disciplinary record? Did you ever see his headbutt on Lewis Moody? Neither were yellow or red cards, they were criminal offences.
I have never seen a tackle like that. It can't possibly be true, but the two ABs appeared to lift BoD upside down and attempt to drive his head into the ground. Not even a yellow card. If that's what they tried to do, I think it's the police that should have been dealing with that and not the referee.
Poor BOD. It sucks that when people remember his career this will continue to be brought up. I really feel for him as he would trained, prepared and look forward to this tour for a long time and to be injured so quickly into the game would have been devastating.
Lots of people have said that this incident was deliberate but I doubt it. Both Umaga and Mealamu have pretty good disciplinary records after long careers.
THIS is why I love to see NZ screw up every 4 yrs. Not a drop of apology for this. Filthy nigger race - about all they're good at: rugby & welfare collection. If it's not that, it's Aryan South African scum & their savage play (see SA v Lions, Jones & Fitzgerald injuries).
@darrensilverman73 fuck you you racist cunt. The All Blacks have now won 2 world cups, more tri-nations than south africa and australia, more grand slams than anyone else, have never lost to ireland or scotland, haven't lost to wales in 58 years, haven't lost to england in 8 years and whipped the lions 3 nil. Suck on that you little bitch.
@jmarshallrwc2011 I think that they would often be likely to beat the Lions as they play by their own rules. You're always so scared of losing at rugby that that you resort to tackles that would kill a normal person. Also you really need to use the correct words, you should have used the word xenophobic as opposed to racist if that's really what you're angry about.
im english and i'd just like to say umaga and the other fat little nigger are pair of dirty cheating cunts, and both should have been banned for life over the incident
@FaTmaN9009 go fuck yourself you racist cunt. No one who has ever played for England is even worthy of licking the mud off the bottom of Tana and Kevvy's boots. England hasn't beaten the All Blacks in 8 years and won't do it again anytime soon so go suck on that you little cry baby bitch.
So dick features, who the fuck are you talking about when you say "I suppose if you have never achieved anything in world rugby"? The Britain & Irish Lions, Brian O'Driscoll or the Irish national team? There's nothing in this viedo that has anything to do with the Irish national team, but you're the one mocking their world rugby record. Please remove your tongue from the sheep's vagina and start showing some consistency in your posts buddy. My comprehension is just fine.
@Joelberg11 I suppose if you don't know that this was the British and Irish Lions playing and not Ireland, then you know fuk all about rugby. Otherwise you would not make such nonsensical comments about 'never achieving anything in world rugby'...
@herbology1 Brian O'Driscoll is Irish you fucking dumb-ass. Haha oh really? then enlighten me on what they have they have achieved? I'll help you out and tell you right now they have a losing record against all of the top test rugby nations bar Argentina.
@Joelberg11 oh so the comment was made soley towards O'Driscoll then - the guy who was universally considered the worlds best centre at the time he was dumped on his head to take him out of what was shaping up to be a fantastic Lions tour. Must make the ABs proud to have won that series given the circumstances. How the ABs going at the moment???
@herbology1 No its was not directed at O'Driscoll at all. I think you need to work on your reading comprehension mate. That lions series was a completely one-sided affair, O'Driscoll would of made mimimal difference considering hes been often out played against NZ except perhaps one game in Ireland where he actually showed his class. Hes a great centre but by no means a game changer. All Blacks are going fine mate, losing to Aussie 2 times out of the last 13 tests ain't to shabby.
@herbology1 O'Driscoll wasn't and never has been the best centre in the world. He wasn't even the best centre on the pitch Umaga was. The All Blacks were always going to thrash you because England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland are shite fucking teams. Oh and how are we going at the moment...WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS BITCH!
@jmarshallrwc2011 welcome to the club of teams who've won 2 world cups. It's an old club. And don't be so smug about it either. The best team on the day didn't win the final - Ritchie felt embarased to hold that cup up
@herbology1 he was delighted to hold it up knowing the best team on the day, the best team of the tournament, the best team of the past decade got what it deserved.
@07717403172 Sir Graham Henry to you bitch. He's the most successful rugby coach of all time. Show some respect you fucking muppet and stop commenting on things you dont understand.
@jmarshallrwc2011 Totally agree, I hadn't even read your comments and we're saying exactly the same thing. The only people who have ever rated O'Driscoll are the 6 Nations and we all know how average they are.
Lol people still going on bout this tackle fuck sake grow sum balls & get the fuck ova it, Ireland aint that good at rugby anyway, how much grand slams they won, how much world cup finals they been in or even world cups they won, & how much times have they beaten the all blacks or even coming close 2 winning against us, but besides all that BOD is the man & a fuken good player & if u really know ur rugby u would say the same, but honestly that was 6yrs ago let it fuken go coz im sure he has.
@Josueg942 Nothing against NFL bro but i dont understand the big shoulder pads & helmets there brother, u guys wana try play with out those gears on & see how tough the body is & see how much the body can handle & ill tell u now the tackles sort out the men from the boys, u wana watch NRL biggest hits bro make ur body cringe.
Its funny how the home nations bang on and on about this when it was just bad luck that he landed funny...it wasn't malicious. Mcaw got smashed in a dirty (and deliberate) spear tackle against Australia not long after and he was fine...
all these dickheads saying it wasn't an illegal move go learn the rules he didn't have the ball first illegal move it was a spear tackle second illegal move. I think nz are a great team but there failure to accept and admit that this was a cowardly act is shameful it's time to act like men and face the fact that these 2 shits acted like cowardly thugs and and brought shame to they're team and should have been severley punished.

Amazing how the spin continues. It was never a tackle - let alone a spear tackle. It was simply a clean-out at a ruck. Players are coached to take the legs out so they have to let go of the ball. Watch someone like Lawrence Dallaglio on that tour. It was a clean-out at the ruck that went horribly wrong but what it wasn't - it absolutely was not a tackle, let alone a spear tackle.

@irishmurph123 the only people talking shite are the idiots who persist in calling a clean out at a ruck a spear tackle. O'Driscoll was and is a great player and it was an unfortunate incident. It tarnished the otherwise unblemished playing days of 2 highly regarded All Blacks - it is now their cross to bear. But it was never a spear tackle and it was 5 years ago - move on.

The media hyped it up, and they obviously would as the Lions captain was taken out within one minute of the first test. Like him or not, BOD was probably the best player in the world at the time, its undoubtedly controversial, atleast for the media when something like this happened. They went on about it, not BOD.

I have never seen a tackle like that. It can't possibly be true, but the two ABs appeared to lift BoD upside down and attempt to drive his head into the ground. Not even a yellow card.

Poor BOD. It sucks that when people remember his career this will continue to be brought up. I really feel for him as he would trained, prepared and look forward to this tour for a long time and to be injured so quickly into the game would have been devastating.
Lots of people have said that this incident was deliberate but I doubt it. Both Umaga and Mealamu have pretty good disciplinary records after long careers.

@Joelberg11 oh so the comment was made soley towards O'Driscoll then - the guy who was universally considered the worlds best centre at the time he was dumped on his head to take him out of what was shaping up to be a fantastic Lions tour. Must make the ABs proud to have won that series given the circumstances. How the ABs going at the moment???
herbology1 6 months ago
@herbology1 No its was not directed at O'Driscoll at all. I think you need to work on your reading comprehension mate. That lions series was a completely one-sided affair, O'Driscoll would of made mimimal difference considering hes been often out played against NZ except perhaps one game in Ireland where he actually showed his class. Hes a great centre but by no means a game changer. All Blacks are going fine mate, losing to Aussie 2 times out of the last 13 tests ain't to shabby.
