One of the most complete defensive players ever but wow has the refereeing at the breakdown changed a lot.

Tipuric/Lydiate, Warburton and Faletau backrow was world class.

@jukeseyable Ай бұрын

its a real shame navidi wasnt capped earlier, he was aa better player than Lydiat, and had a lot more ball carrying ability, Warbs, Navadi, Faletau, id have as world no 1 of their generation, yes some big names out there, but it was as you say world class as it was, but with navidi who i rate as the best 6 in the world when he played would have elevated it further

@goodboydaz0494 Ай бұрын

@@jukeseyable Mehh I think Navidi was more of a late bloomer. 2011-2017 I think I pick both Lydiate and Tipuric over Navidi. Although Navidi should have been next man up if any of those 4 were injured. How Ross Moriarty has 50 odd caps is more of a surprised.

As a Scottish fan, it was always so annoying playing you guys cos you'd always beat us- even if the game was close. Now I'm disappointed if we don't beat Wales fairly comfortably. I'm sure it'll turn around again at some point though. Swings and roundabouts.

@@colpy5372 honestly i rate him as good as McCaw, remember McMaw played in what was overall a better team, making him look better. Im not saying he wasnt great, he was, but he was surounded by great players as well. Wales were more than the sum of their parts, front row was right up there, so was the back row, but the 2nd rows were not as good as the AB's 2nd rows of McCaw's gen

I feel like Sam Warburton was such a complete player. Had decent hands, pace, good in the contact, unreal at the breakdown, but it's his IQ that is underrated. In defence, He knew when to go low, when to hit high and knew when to hold a player up. He's basically Reffel and Morgan in one. Feel like if he had a good world cup in 2019, he would be talked about as one of the all time greats.

I could be wrong but it looks like he supported his weight with his right hand on the pitch, just before he goes into a jackle, which I thought was illegal? 11.25 Otherwise, he was a legend to the game!

@@hughstark4882 when you're not supporting your bodyweight you're off feet and when you're off feet you're out of play. Always illegal. That's by the letter of the law though, what's being penalised is up to refs. The difference between then and now is obvious.

@@jukeseyable great players play to the whistle. It would be very stupid to assume Warburton or McCaw wouldn't be as successful with today's refereeing - they would adapt as you pointed out. About the rest that you say - my POV is they didn't change the law, they started interpreting it differently. I may be wrong of course.
