Mike Phillips "sensational" play for the Lions

Hospital inaccurate pass to Mears, who does well to not be driven backwards, then a lovely offload from the hooker to Wallace who makes great ground, only for Phillips to **** things up nicely.

gotta love Mike philips agresive nasty fast powerfull!

[motion2005]

@welshsoldier1 Not just too smart, skillful or good at a scrum half's primary responsibility.

[GezzzzaGerald]

whoever made this video is an utter idiot, look at the wales squad now, phillips is one of the best 9's around, and your picking one mistake

[motion2005]

@GezzzzaGerald Yes, after two years of dire rugby he's finally looking decent for a few games, including 3 losses at the world cup.

@motion2005 Jesus, what is your problem? You're completely wrong in your description of the video and seem to have it out for Welsh players, you need to grow up and stop being a cynical asshole.

[motion2005]

@meskell02 What exactly is wrong about the description of the video? Phillips did give a hospital pass to Mears, and Wallace did make a nice break. Then the stupid knock-on at the back of a ruck under no pressure (which Phillips does at least once a match). How is any of that 'completely wrong'?

funny how on that tour he kept the English 9 out ;)

[eddyd63]

@meskell02 i would say one of the main reasons why it was so close between england and waleswas that england did theyre homework on philips and were constantly catching him has he took steps before passing. completely messed up theyre continuity. he can be great, but if you play him right, he can be dire. good going forwards, but dont want him on the pitch when hes feeling the heat

@motion2005 so why exactly do you think phillips was picked for the lions and has been wales' first choice scrumhalf for ages? do you know something the coaches don't

[BakFireProductions]

Why is there so many dislikes?

[89daverave]

Well look at the passes that phillips is doing in this video, hes alway waiting at the ruck and then darts the ball so fast and accurate to each side. Great scrum half, and we all make mistakes sometimes!! Watch out for the next Lions squad, going to rip the southern hemisphere by storm!!

Shitty video made by someone who obviously knows fuck all about rugby.

@motion2005 Hows that 19-12 loss against wales sitting with you. Ben youngs is a pile of piss so stop commenting on our scrums halves. Ours can at least put in a performance. Mike Phillips scored two tries in crucial games in the world cup.

[10026389]

@motion2005 you picked out 2 mistakes made by phillips in this match. the facts are that phillips was the outstanding scrum half of those that were chosen to go on tour. he was also one of the better players to go on a very poorly managed lions tour. he is also still the best in britain at his position. something few others from that lions tour managed to upstain. for you to criticize him so harshly in his 1st lions tour is utterly obscene

[zXzDAV3zXz]

@motion2005 Coming from an Englishmen saying our 9 is crap? Your best 9 is Ben Youngs, he was a pile of shit against Itay but you don't upload his mistakes you hypocritical bastard. Really strong words coming from an Englishmen who's home country can only score 2 chargedown tries against the worst teams in the six nations.

[EllliotJack4]

pointless vid

[xReWiNdZzx3]

@motion2005 today mike phillips was given man of the match for sensational play against ireland and without him wales would have lost in a match that could defie the six nations this year. he makes one mistake which may not be under pressure but he defiantly doesnt make once a game he is probably the best scrum half in the britsh Isle at the moment and if he was bad he would not have been picked in the team.
