I was in a bar in Cork having a Murphy's with my boss when all of a sudden my hat I was wearing was wrenched off my head. I stood up and turned around to find Andy Powell ( now wearing my hat ) Mike Phillips and another couple of the Welsh squad members all laughing and grinning. As an Englishman and rugby fan myself I resisted from giving him a dig there and then coz he was a big unit and so lived to tell the tale. Rugger eh !!
You sound like a gay
"Then I broke my neck and that didn't help"
If any sentence sums a man up, it's that one
as an Englishman, what an absolute down to earth, nice and genuine guy. thank you for the insight into a true rugby hero.
What does being English have to do with your comment?
@@learntonganwithandrew because the welsh seem to hate the english, and have some sort of vision that the feelings are mutual.
danny R is right, mr tongan face; that's the reality!.
@@dannyr6040 is right, tongan; they are the most racist people in these islands.
As an Englishman, how can one not become a big Tesco virgin? Asking for a mate
Rugby is a great game. And it's guys like Andy that make it magnificent. The golf cart was classic. Cheers from Durban.
Every so often you get characters in the game of rugby who are needed to make the game more interesting and Andy Powell is truly one of them 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great abrasive exciting player and very honest and open about himself. Have met him a couple of times whilst having a few beers down the road from Brecon in Abergavenny. Likeable guy. Good to see him doing so well with his home town team Brecon RFC.
Rugby is rugby because of men like Powell. Total legend of the game and I wish him nothing but health and happiness.
Absolute Welsh legend on the pitch and off, totally down to earth.
What a genuine, down to earth guy. Wish him all the best!
What an honest and uplifting video. He was a great player and brilliant that he's now giving back to the game at his home town club. Need more like him
As a Wales fan I enjoyed watching Andy Powell play, he was an exciting played to have in the squad. I wish him all the best with his coaching. Brecon is bloody nice place to live.
What a top guy!
Had a great weekend in Minehead Butlins with Andy..a true drinking legend but also a perfect gentleman and not big-headed
Rugbypass produces some of the finest content🤛
Brilliant doccie! I loved watching Andy play
Brilliant production....inspiring and heartwarming story
If this had been done back in the day? He would of had a pat on the back and everyone would of laughed. The modern game a? Comes across as decent honourable bloke and a lovely looking area he grew up in
Powell is a legend - regards from England.
Great documentary, thanks.
Old school, tell it how it is and enjoy yourself along the way. Proper rugby player!
Fantastic vid - go on powelly lad glad lifes treating you right.
"There's some characters round here.... I'm one of them"
He is our legend yes
Great documentary
Watched Andy play at Newport as understudy to Teichmann. He was set in his mould and was an amazing player to see weave through midfield. He lost his way a bit and could have done with a mentor to keep him on track (that’s what I think) but from watching this you can see why he could easily get lost. It was great to see him come to the top for Wales he could have been up there sooner and for longer but great to see him play.
Brilliant! Andy Powell just being Andy Powell! End of!
Legend
He was a "bell end " nothing more or nothing less
Great video 👍
Rumour has it, when he signed for Beziers in 2003, he packed his TV to go as he thought it was the only way he could watch BBC and ITV.
I heard he asked his mum to send his sky dish and box.....
He played for Wales and was selected for a Lions tour. I doubt anyone on this thread can add that to their CV. He enjoyed life and there's nowt wrong with that.
Taff u r top bloke
Didn't realise Charlie Brooker was such a big rugby fan.
Ledgend .
Well done Ewan. From Warburton 😉 #NZ2011
Andy Powell, best shape, brrrrrrrrrrriiiiinnnggggggg
@Blithering Bossman yeah hahaha
lovable rogue to wise rogue thoroughly enjoyed this..... Warren Gatland is a kiwi?
racist, mr taurerewa ? cake and eat it time, i reckon.
@@blackbob3358 thought it was good story Mr B
A lot of people have never played the game.british lion 🦁 say no more.
I've always found it quite telling that Rob Howley uses a man's surname rather than a first name when addressing them either publicly or privately. He seems to need to belittle people and assert his sense of superiority.
guys a tool
When did he beat the All Blacks ???
Playing for the ba bas...
Check out the latest podcast with Andy :) ua-cam.com/video/URNTDVVnxOs/v-deo.html
He was a bit rubbish (not good enough ?) when he went to Wigan Rugby League club.
Never heard of ya
he's about as interesting as piles
Great forward, and it is immeasurable what he has done for Brecon R.f.c.
He used to pop down to HAY ON WYE for a few pints every now then. Top bloke.
Very interesting, just shows that people don't know anything about high profile people and their personal circumstances.....respect to Andy Powell, a great sport as well as sportsman...what a character
Wales make them hardcore and I hate it - love from Gloucester
Brilliant video top bloke Andy and great player
"Then I had a broken neck, that didn't help" 😂. Top guy, true welsh rugby legend.
Refreshingly honest
England fan here, but huge admiration for the Welsh game and enormous respect for Andy.
top bloke. great rugby player.
as McGeechen said "a test match animal", and he was a pretty good coach.
his boxing is a bit rusty mind you,..15 weeks camp and he comes out like a windmill!
You can step in the ring with him, I'll get a pint and watch safely from outside ring
As an Englishman, I fucking love Andy Powell. Should of been the Lions test 8 in 2009 fantastic character
RugbyPass channel keeps on surprising me
I admired him when he was on the lions tour and he really didnt mind if he toook to the field in the test side,he was happy to be there and help the squad along in any way he could. Very good player and very nice bloke. Lots of respect for you Andy,just do me a favour and stay off the motorways :-)
What’s he meaning “ bit like Pierre Spies which lot of people don’t appreciate “
From an Englishman, learnt a lot about a legend and all the best with your coaching 🙌
What a Welsh? Legend good on him
Good vid also you did great with rugby 20
Who says a fuck it go for it view on life doesn't work. Total legend.
I’ve met himmmmmm
Sounds like he's got acid in his stomach when he speaks. Too much alcohol in his gut
I fell asleep after 15 minutes. You want an interesting story? Then tell the story of Mapimpi or Kolisi.
Fuck off wanker.
Could any of those two drink 16 pints, 16 tequilas and 16 jagerbombs, then play a match the next day though ?
