Willie John McBride Inspirational Speech

[LukeWba4ever]

Al Pacinos speech just changed!!!

[MrBigMac201195]

Fuck Al Pacino what has he done compared to Willie John McBride? Nothing!

[BillCorriganVideo]

Disappointed that someone of his stature would not provide the world with some original motivation.

I guess in the end everyone sells out in the end...

[TazPelser]

best speach iv heard

[PKengageyourmind]

this IS Pacino's speech...and not a very good version of it either...sad...

[342dm]

Its like this speech was written about David Wallace and John Hayes. Two of the greatest servants of Irish rugby, who went that extra inch for the team

[JammyCodgers]

Willie John McBride is easily the GREATEST rugby player, EVER...

[twotellys12]

@JammyCodgers No he played with the greatest rugby player ever.....Gareth edwards

[mappatazzi]

its not whats said but whos saying it, pacino or willie john? no comparison

LEGEND

[fazer990]

this is really similar to Al Pacino's speech

[TheOneill001]

is there a coyright issue here

[ElektrikWanker]

and guess what, he's irish ;) another reason ireland rugby is the best (exc. France and NZ)

[jamesmcbride89]

@Colmc99, I don't think it really matters if its been copied, its still relevant and a damn good speech! Maybe he could have said: "as Al Pachino said in any given Sunday", but I don't think it would have had the same effect. Any road, I'm sure most people will have got the reference and appreciated it.

[Colmc99]

copyed of any given sunday :/ im irish and i think that he sould at least say its from that movie ?

[jamesmcbride89]

Quality speech, quality player.

[Colmc99]

@jamesmcbride89 too bad they ruined it from any given sunday :/

[ConallGames]

It sounded better in Any given Sunday!

[joelbambi]

wasnt good enough to play for randalstown rugby club lol

[Charliepops66]

i'm irish and i'll even admit this is the cringiest thing i have ever seen

[GuyGrindlay]

Willie is Irish. A fantastic player both for Ireland and the Lions. Speaking as an Englishman, he a legend of the game, a veteran Irish rugby player and I am proud he was from the British Isles and was in the Lions. Lions tours are so sweet.

And for the people saying "any given sunday rip off", Of course it is. Thats the whole point. Its Willie, a legend of times gone by, using a widely recognised contemporary speech to appeal to modern rugby generations. The old and the new linked by rugby.

[Jthurt1]

terrible version of any given sunday

[gologabob]

shit video

[yvonnebowe]

what a beautiful man, go willie john

[MrConamara]

McBride (Mac Bríd) - The son of Bríd..He has legendary Irish blood in him! Pity about them dirty English back in the day! Just goes to show what too much power does to a human. Monarchs are evil including that of the Catholic Church. It's great to see that their power is dwindling! Forgetting about the past....standing alone...this man was a legend.

[Hittheroadjack1000]

stolen from any given sunday

[GerardM1995]

He isn't from Ballymena, he's from the Moneyglass/Toome area

[menacetohighsociety]

as a non partisan rugby lover, i am especially fond of the Irish team, let's hope they play to their potential in this world cup, if they get the rub of the green too, they should do well...and make Ireland proud. BTW once again can anyone source the name of the backing music...? thanks.

[Tylerste678]

anybody know the name of this song, I think it needs to be added to my pregame mix.

[thebogmancommeth]

@Tylerste678 its chevaliers de sangreal by hans zimmer. its the main song of the da vinci code movie.

[johnnytanini]

The greatest Prod Ireland has ever had.

[LinkinParkFTW769]

HES FROM BALLYMENA I LIVE IN BALLYMENA!

[loopstheloop]

Legend of Irish rugby. Legend of the Lions. All hail the great Willie John McBride.

[LunchtimeLoonies]

I'm a leprechaun! Where's my gold (ball)?

[MADDIXT]

@DavidNBRFC10 not all english people are idiots, just killecrankieful

[red82Mike]

Think I'll stick with Pacino's version.

[Wexicanful]

It'd take a racist Scot or Brit or whatever he is to wind yiz up lad's !

[rdeacon8]

Willie John McBride is as irish as they come, it would take a typical fucking englishman to try and claim him.

[ik160]

the south african rugby team has never been that small

[EvinYakubuDude]

Why mention anything about loyalty???? Willie never mentioned a thing about such a topic. Im sure he believes he is Irish since he represented Ireland. Simples!!

[joekilgobinet]

@Killecrankieful So english he put on the Green jersey and stood at Landsdowne Road for Amhrain na bhFiann, Wake up and smell the cornflakes!

[seanpgob]

English ? Wise Up @Killecrankieful. What is it about the Irish jersey you find so hateful ?

[Lynnch1]

@joekilgobinet Wake up and smell the cornflakes.........haha classssss!!!!!

[reyjay07]

[reyjay07]

[B2KIrishk]

@Killecrankieful Lol

[MrJammydodger1995]

@Killecrankieful your a full on retard.

[Killecrankieful]

What a great comment from an Irishman who gives his loyalty to to an English monarch and a English government in London, England.

What a great Irishman you are Willie.

LOL!

[redhot23howudoin]

@Killecrankieful Doesn't matter what his politics or religion are. I'm a Prod from Newotwnards, Down which is located in Northern IRELAND!! Try telling me I'm not Irish even though I respect the monarch. Learn your history mate we aren't all like them ones your trying to compare us to we were born into it because of the history of the country not because of this generations values or opinions.

[stevieontour]

@redhot23howudoin

Anyone born in Ireland is Irish .. end of Story.
