yeah ROG

I know man, suppose my sarcasm wasn't that obvious

@@GenuineBruno 😂

They were on the same team

In a Nigel Owen way?

@@johnmc3862 oof, you owened him there!

Rubbish! Hahahaha I find this comment fucking hilarious. Sexton ain’t even fit to lace DC’s boots for him

Mateypotatey Sexton is far superior

''by far the better player'' Really O'Gara started 0 Lions tests Sexton started 5 won 4 and drew 1.Sexton has beaten the all blacks twice ROG never has and he's won more at international and provincial level than ROG. So to summarise Sexton is Ireland's best ever 10 by quite a distance.

To be fair , let's compare the teams , because teams win matches , not individual players. Let's compare the grand slam winners of 2009 versus now. The ireland team now don't have as many world class players , but they work together unbelievabley well as a team. In 2009 , they had some of the best ireland players of all time; Brian o'driscoll, rog, Paul o connell etc. But they didn't stick together as a team consistently. Rog is a better kicker , but sexton is a better tackler , hence all the concussions. But he's stubborn , and any fault he has he fixes it. Rog achieved a lot in his career too , including winning ireland's first grand slam in 61 years.

Ireland's greatest ever 10 was Kyle. Followed by Gibson. Section probably third greatest- unless you count Magee.

@@johnoconnell531 amateur players totally pointless to compare. Most of the forwards from that generation are too small to play backline positions these days and you cant tell how they would have reacted to putting on the weight. Gibson as majestic as he was, would get smashed by a modern scrum half. ROG was seldom if ever a top 3 fly half in the world during his career, Sexton was not only that but wom world player of the year, hes also won more. Sexton has a few 9/10 areas of his game and then a load of 8/10s. ROG had 9.5/10s but also 2/10s

I think Sexton is a much better player than O gara. O gara was a good kicker ...but not as good at defense or attack as sexton..... Having said that if we had a bit more crossover between the two it would have been amazing. Imagine O gara was 2/3 years younger. If we had had both on the team in 2015 it would have made a massive difference. Pity really. I think Sexton is now so good that its meant we havent been able to develop a second 10

Definitely a better player in the open which is the game Ireland should play rather than a territory kicking game that ROG was excellent at. OGara was a better kicker obviously but that's not what Sexton is about. Ireland play better rugby now

Mate take off your blue tinted glasses. Coming from a kiwi

Bs. I gara got the pressure kicks. Nz 2013? Sexton failed

@@patrickdoyle9304 all of 2007? Heineken cup final 2003? All the crucial missed tackles? Plenty of noteworthy bottles by ROG, does that make him a bottler? No, you can clip up mistakes and isolate performances to paint any player poorly, On their overall careers Sexton has bettered ROG at all levels. The only thing ROG has is points and caps, he played and will play longer than Sexton and with less injuries but by virtue of his weaknesses, which is that he had no physical presence in attack or defence.

O'Gara when he came on kicked two penalties - one with his right and the other with his left. He then drop-kicked a goal by backheeling it from 40 meters out in the corner. I was there that day with my grandfather who has been going to rugby since 1904. He turned to me, with tears in his eyes, and said that O'Gara was a great player. ' As good as Sexton'?, I asked. 'Better... better', he replied, his voice choking with emotion. After O'Gara scored his final icing-on-the-cake try in the 80th minute with the clock at red, as he stepped up and addressed the ball, my feeble grandfather stumbled to his feet and amidst the respectful silence that had descended in the stadium, he shouted with hoarse voice; 'You are the greatest!' O'Gara, followed the sound with his eyes, and eying my grandfather with a respectful gaze and pointing towards him, O'Gara shouted: 'This one's for you, old man. This one is for you'. O'Gara addressed the ball, stepped up, and curled the ball inside the right post. The Lansdowne crowd went wild. This is rugby. This was O'Gara.

Not after this weekend against the French
