I was in Dublin Airport a few years ago, and Tadhg was ahead of me going through security. The man practically had to walk through the metal detector sideways
I had the pleasure if taking him his brother n partners out to the skellig islands (starwars) He hadnt played in months due to injury n the lockdowns..he was a funny gentleman but my god he was still built like a brick shithouse. Animal of a man
If he manages to dodge serious injury, I truly believe he could become one of the best Prop's ever! Monster in the scrum! A beast in the loose..... and he's got a better step than virtually all the backs in Ireland.............
@@jamesconnell8478 sadly I doubt he’ll ever win the award as awards team (both WR and 6N) generally overlook the front row (I can’t remember the last time a prop won the world rugby player award)
@@asadok7452 You really singling out his performance when his team shipped 50 odd points? A game in which he was playing winger anyway? He was bloody good for Wales during the Six Nations, when he played fullback.

@@nathan._.h Lowe is gone stockdale is in I think and zebos back but Keenan is brilliant at 15 it’s his shirt now !! I think we’ll peak in 2023 we could do very well in the World Cup
Genuine world class player. He’s brilliant at everything - ball carrying, tackling, ball skills, pace, over the ball in contact area, scrummaging. There’s no doubt more.
Getting to stage where he should be considered one of the greatest right heads ever. Certainly starting to creep towards Carl hayman in modern era. Add in another couple of lions tours and by the time he finishes he’ll be a great
The inside pass he does against England for CJ try a few years ago is ridiculous. The guy is just unbelievable. Leinster/Ireland better sort that contract out soon enough
@@nickjohns1192 yeah 100% agree. 3 dead certs and 2 or 3 others have a great chance too. Scottish Rugby is in a great place and that's great for the lions aswell.
@@AndrewDavidForde They were excellent scrummagers but that’s about all you would say about them. Obviously they were terrific servants, Hayes is especially close to my heart as I’m a limerick man, but Furlong is a different breed of tight head to both those guys.
When he first came on the scene I could never pronounce his name properly so I just ended up calling him "The brick shithouse!" since he was built like one
A modern day renaissance man. The downvotes are from the boyfriends of the six supermodels who left Sweden to pursue their dream of cooking Tadgh's spuds.
agreed mate. must better take than the "scotland and wales are better than the all blacks" suprised you didnt mention the wallabies, nice pommy pfp aswell. shows the fierceness
I would say that he is the tight head that I have seen - there may have been stronger ones (bench press more or whatever) but his technique is superb and, when combined with his work in the loose - as good as most open sides have been - he is superb. I just wish he had been lucky enough to be English (hoho)
Brilliant player met him at half time of the Wexford Dublin hurling game in parnell park of the Leinster round Robin in 2019 nice player a good Wexford man supporting his own county outside of Rugby infairness where would Ireland and Leinster without Wexford lads 😂 😂 😂 beast of a player best prop player in the world number 3
You know, if I had his skill, fitness, smart gamesmanship, a great team round him, I’d be going to SA with the lions tour. I don’t so fk it, pass me another Guinness please.
Not really a fan of Irish Rugby, but the players i believe added a new paradigm to world Rugby, N02 Keith Wood was a real mobile player previously unseen in his time, No3 Tadhg Furlong doent know what stop means just keeps going, one of the best 3s in world Rugby and the N09 Conor Murry deceptive fast and great Rugby Brain.
He's like the perfect mix of a battering ram and an elegant gazelle.
An Elegant Ram you might say
@@c02615223 A battering gazelle!
Potentially one of the world's greatest front rowers in the history of the game. Brains, brawn and that step. . Great video Andrew 👍
Forgetting the hands
@@higuk999 The shovels you mean 😁
Up there with the best!
They call him the jukebox because the hits keep coming
Probably the best prop Ireland have ever produced
Keith Woods ?
Him or Woods. Its refreshing to see props/front row players who dont have to resort to steroids to get game time. All heart!
@@ericthompson1060 i said prop, Woods was a hooker, if you are gonna gone for the whole front row category i'd say Woods
Woods buddy #1

@@nickjohns1192 haven't heard anyone say a bad word against him. Seems very down to earth
Unreal prop. Leinster and Ireland are so fortunate to have Andrew Porter coming up behind him too.
Dan Sheehan behind porter as well, and he still has plenty of time to gain the 130kg bulk
If he manages to dodge serious injury, I truly believe he could become one of the best Prop's ever! Monster in the scrum! A beast in the loose..... and he's got a better step than virtually all the backs in Ireland.............
I would argue he should’ve won player of the year in 2018. He literally has absolutely no weaknesses in his game, it’s absolutely incredible
@@jamesconnell8478 a big game player too, look how many clips he has against the all blacks, wallabies etc

Probably the only definite lions starter
Hogg
@@benwoodhead4838 not necessarily, there's certainly room for Liam Williams to take the 15 shirt, whereas there's little competition with Furlong
@@AndrewDavidForde williams isnt at his best rn, just look at his quarter final vs sale in h cup
@@asadok7452 You really singling out his performance when his team shipped 50 odd points? A game in which he was playing winger anyway? He was bloody good for Wales during the Six Nations, when he played fullback.
@@AndrewDavidForde tbh I don’t think Williams was particularly impressive in the six nations. I thought Halfpenny was much better
Sinckler, vunipola, and genge are still having nightmares about furlong 3 weeks later!
Furlough or furlong 😂
Lol. It was the TH side that buckled in that scrum. Genge had Furlong going backwards prior. Rewatch the match if that is too shocking to stomach.

The Final Boss of props.
the irish pack is unparalleled in the NH at the moment
If our back line was as high a level as the pack Ireland would be near unbeatable
@@krishollanddoyle5062 give it a year.. keenan, lowe and casey all earned their first cap in the last 7 months and are only getting better
@@nathan._.h Lowe is gone stockdale is in I think and zebos back but Keenan is brilliant at 15 it’s his shirt now !!
I think we’ll peak in 2023 we could do very well in the World Cup
Excellent video selection. He is a player of immense skill, power, and intelligence.
Genuinely struggle to recall a better tighthead prop who excels in every part of the game
Massive player strength guile and a wicked side step 🔥
Genuine world class player. He’s brilliant at everything - ball carrying, tackling, ball skills, pace, over the ball in contact area, scrummaging. There’s no doubt more.
Must be in the running for best tight head ever. Few years to go but he’s well on the way
i agree. he could take the title from olo brown
One of the first names on the plane to SA. Very much helping to evolve the role of prop into the modern game.
He is over 20 stone ,v fast, can step, offload ,score tries, is a force of nature defensively and has the heart of a lion
He’s 19 stone
@@harryocallaghan8082 yeah and around 22 off season !
Tadhg Furlong abú 🙏🙏 one of the all time greats in irish rugby
I don't understand how any human can be that strong and then he is agile...sidesteps really well and great speed for a prop. Superhuman.
So much brilliance in five minutes, but the sidestepping v Scotland is the standout highlight for me. 🤩
Thanh you very much for this video. I am a great fan of Furlong. My hero. Thank you.
Furlong, Sinckler and Porter will be the lions tight heads. As much as I would want Francis to be there too I can’t see it unfortunately
a farmers son with farmers strength...and the easy going nature of a country man...a gentle beast of a man...Respect
2:05 the greatest moment in rugby history without a doubt legendary😂😂😂👍👍
Best prop in the world
Getting to stage where he should be considered one of the greatest right heads ever. Certainly starting to creep towards Carl hayman in modern era. Add in another couple of lions tours and by the time he finishes he’ll be a great
I was waiting for it, thank you Andrew 💪
The speed of that man is frightful
A prop forward who can knock down opposition scrums, players, step, pass, receive and bloody deftly offload...
It's practically unheard off
Could you do a Billy Holland vid for his retirement a true Munster legend.
I'm a Munster man but to be fair, that would be very hard to make and not very interesting apart from to some Munster fans.
LOL
The inside pass he does against England for CJ try a few years ago is ridiculous. The guy is just unbelievable. Leinster/Ireland better sort that contract out soon enough
suggestion: best/funniest celebrations after scoring or winning a match, there's some great ones out there
Outstanding prop forward power skill and well able to play football
Thats the power that picking shtones, shpronging silage and pulling calves will give ya, pure farmer strength.
Scotland fan here, Furlong is a stick on for the lions imo. Gave us a torrid time at Murrayfield last month. Top player!
There will/should be a few scotts on the tour.
@@nickjohns1192 yeah 100% agree. 3 dead certs and 2 or 3 others have a great chance too.
Scottish Rugby is in a great place and that's great for the lions aswell.
How does one man break so many tackles!!
What an absolute machine Tadhg is ❤
Love to see a big old horse play like this
Tadhg "twinkle toes" Furlong
The fact that he sidesteps Finn Russell is absolutely hilarious
I wonder will he start over zammit or Watson on the lions tour at winger
Legend
WoW Is his best yet to come Can’t wait 😛☘️🙏🏻🇨🇮
Ireland couldn’t produce a tight head for years and now we’ve this guy. Mad
Remember the humiliation of our scrum against England in 2012?
Mike Ross? John Hayes? Not saying either are better than Furlong but both were stalwarts in their own right in the Irish jersey.
@@AndrewDavidForde forgot Michael bent 😂😂😂
@@AndrewDavidForde They were excellent scrummagers but that’s about all you would say about them. Obviously they were terrific servants, Hayes is especially close to my heart as I’m a limerick man, but Furlong is a different breed of tight head to both those guys.
@@ritchiemullins6384 I’ll never ever forget it. Somehow Tom Court still got a lions cap after that debacle
When he first came on the scene I could never pronounce his name properly so I just ended up calling him "The brick shithouse!" since he was built like one
Probably the strongest prop in the world right now.
taniela tupou? cant wait to see these beasts rumble
If they put him at centre for Ireland, I wouldn’t be annoyed tbh
No but i bet the opposition would though lol
Tadhg great guy and a top player 💚🇮🇪💯😎
A modern day renaissance man. The downvotes are from the boyfriends of the six supermodels who left Sweden to pursue their dream of cooking Tadgh's spuds.
Either him or toupou are the best 3 in the world

@Ethan McClure sometimes genge is a great scrummager and other times he’s just awful, pretty inconsistent

Tadgh the Tank. Hes an execet in either blue or green. Absolute beast of tight head
Those steps against Scotland! So beautiful and hilarious at the same time :D
As Mike McCarthy tweeted on the day...
"What a day to have eyes" :D
I nearly spat my coffee across the room when he put on his ballerina shoes that game
Best tight head of all time
That break @ 2:43 is just pure flith!
Super! Years left in him
He's such an impressive athlete
Some highlight reel for a tight head.
Best Prop #3
My fave video ever made
Easily the best tighthead prop in world rugby, and i cant recall seeing many better from Nz
He would feel right at home in the Bok pack.
The clear out on pocock is just nasty!
I would die for Tadhg Furlong.
The Ruck clear at 3:20! Woof
