Thanks for the shoutout! The 40-20 kick is a rugby league thing. Rugby union adopted it in the last couple of seasons as the 50-22 kick - if you kick it from within your own half and it goes out inside the opposition's 22, you get the throw-in to the lineout - but not while O'Driscoll was playing. That kick was a good one because it pinned the other team back, but they got the throw.
In Rugby, the numbers 12 (inside centre) and 13 (outside centre) as centres or occasionally referred to as “midfielders”. By the vast majority if fans and analysts, 13 is seen as the hardest position to defend as you have a lot of space for that person to defend and is the position that requires probably to most intelligence and skill to be able to track and defend the area. They are also very intelligent in attack and need to have the physicality which normally the 12 will have but also the pace which normally wingers (11&14) and Fullbacks (15) will have so they’re kind of a hybrid player
@@fionnmcguinness3268 you must be mainlining your whiskey mate … BoD the best 13 ever?? 😂😂😂😂😂 … u will have to put a lot more water into you mix .. it’s waaaaayyy to strong for u … ever heard of Conrad Smith and Daniel Gerber… u should educate yourself a bit more before posting ignorance
@@jamesbond8191 Never heard of whoever tf Gerber is which shows how “famous” he is, Conrad Smith was a good player and had the same fundamentals as BOD, but not the ex factor BOD possessed
@@fionnmcguinness3268 .. you should really get out more, expand your brain and knowledge. Your ignorance is profound if you do not know Danie Gerber…do your homework and report back.
I would even have Nonu at 13 before him. Probably Jacque Fourie too. Maybe even Marius Jourbert, lol he has a hatrick VS the ABs 😅. Heck Am is even better
@@douglaswright2143 And your point is? It alway rankled wih the Irish, and was changed to the British & Irish Lions, because it was ignoring/insulting to the Irish players; Try not to do the same.
@@LFire12 I am not making any point in particular. There were great Irish players in pre 97 teams, and I doubt very much that they all felt ignored or insulted as you claim, after all the Irish crest was on the badge and arguably the greatest Lion of all time was an Irishman. If you were offended, I am sorry to hear that, in no way was I trying to minimise the role of Irish players in the Lions.
Brian was good for sure not the Goat of mo.13.s no this guy is.wrong go and look at this guy the Goat called Danie Gerber best centre ever played for the Springboks hes the best ever go watch speed power ect... Nice video thou.Danie Gerber the best ever mot Brian.

Ah ok my bad about the 40-20 thing. I thought I was past mixing league and rugby up but I guess not haha.
O’Driscoll is best outside centre over, widely acknowledged by al rugby fans. He is in the Top 5 players of all time!

It's nothing to do with the role of the Irish players It's their identity they're not British there Irish. Ireland is not part of the British Isles.

Nah. BOD for sure. You can't go on What If's only What Is.
