One of the best kicking out halves I have ever seen the accuracy he hand kicking out of the hand was amazing
@wildebest haha you are so funny i dying with the laughter about the comment you just made
@ed marks sarcasm bud i do think he is one of the best of all time
Totally agree with you about that.He was so consistently great over a long period.
I was always pleased to see Ireland play even more when he was on the pitch. A true legend. From a french fan.
I'm far from a fan of ROG but nobody can deny he had a helll of a sweet right peg. I'm only surprised he didn't finish out his career with a stint at Man. Utd - what with his habit of snatching victory from defeat with the clock in the red 😊😆
ROG was never as jammy as UTD though.
I’ve got goosebumps watching that first clip 🇮🇪
What a player he was. Can we also appreciate the speed of Tommy Bowe at 4:06
Outrunning Shane Williams with ease
Thank you for this video. As a South African I've noticed that somebody out there doesn't quite like Ronan O'Gara. Sure, he made mistakes. Who hasn't. All I can say is that I wish I was half the player he was!!!
I never considered O'Gara that much of a player while he was playing. But After his retirement, watching back, he was a hecking World class player and he doesn't get that much credit apart of some niches I'd say. So good on you for bringing him to the spotlight
What a joy he was to watch. Unbelievable player
Best ever at kicking crossfield to the corner. If there was a inch of space between an opposition winger and the touchline he would consistently judge it perfectly.
Nice to see the final shot of him and Sexton. Two great outhalfs who both came up clutch with drop goals.
did they play a match together - don't remember that - presume Sexton was a replacement at 12 or something
@@rossgeography I heard on OTB that they did with Sexton at centre.
Himself and Peter Stringer were an outstanding combination!
I always say this. Stringer was phenomenal. Man played until he was 40! Probably still playing at club level some place.
3:23 the rare scene of Rog making a tackle
He tackled even the grass but he rarely was dominant.
I don’t think someone watched a lot of rog he was never like a huge hitter but u can’t say he didn’t tackle defensively he was solid not amazing but not that bad
Outside my house in Cork there's a pitch where Ronan's dad would bring him as a teenager to practice his kicking. I'm a few years younger than Ronan so I collected the balls for him quite a lot and tried to emulate what he was doing.
Ronan was brill and was passionate about the game.Gave great service to Ireland and club.He was Golen...
Life was better when Rog was the out half
Facts
For Munster yes, for Ireland no.
@Paddy le Blanc Couldn't tackle to save his life though was merely a speed bump it's why he never got injured and could rack up those points.
Quality Andrew! What a Legend ROG is
Shame about the hate he's getting on here, but in my book anyone who has a star above their head on Rugby 08 will always be a legend.
Criminal that O'Connell was only rated 83 in that game 😤
Thank you, Andrew!!!!
He is one of the best, and a lot of people are jealous him.
What an absolute legend, not just Ireland but in rugby in general. Also first view first comment and first like
wildebest RIP
Sacré joueur ! Sacré entraineur ! Chapeau bas m. O'Gara
La Rogchelle!
I love the drop goal!
Thanks for the video
Been waiting for this one👏🏻
2:16 that kick is too good
A great talent. A back to back vid with David Humphreys next please Mr Forde!
In Rugby 08, R. O'Gara doesn't miss💚, Dan Carter, doesn't miss 🖤, Percy Montgomery, doesn't miss 💚, Johnny Wilkinson, doesn't miss 🤍, Gavin Henson, doesn't miss ♥️, Carlos Spencer, doesn't miss 🖤 - LEGENDARY!!!
Fantastic OG!💚
Blimey, it’s saddens me how the greats of my era have grown old and had to step aside for the new generation. Realisation that even the most exceptionally gifted can’t outrun Father Time...but the memories these sporting greats have given us over the years will live on with us forever. I give thanks to each and everyone of them🙏☺️
ROG, a Master ! Respect and thank u !
What about best game winning drop kicks
3:38 really impressive kick in that weather
Last second to win the game as well makes it more impressive
it was the great Ireland! Now He drives La Rochelle and we are proud of it
Absolute class player
Incredible kicker, especially under pressure.
3:37. where did you get that footage Andrew? I've been looking for it for years
It's a lot easier to be one of the greatest out halves ever when you have one of the greatest scrum halves ever feeding you. Stringer in his prime was outstanding.
Going to be an even better coach
I have never been a fan of Rugby before but after watching the sheer skill of this irish legend Ryan O Gara. Makes me proud to be Irish and now have tremendous respect for the sport. Legend ROG.
Sean
Christ, that man was clutch...
O'Gara is great but its nice to see you found one of his tackles
@Paddy le Blanc take a joke and lighten up
He couldn’t tackle for his life, but he was a great player, especially his kicking
I never forget the Lions tour. Never.
3:37.. Andrew please respond to me.. where dd you get that footage
What is the song in the video?
Surely Jannie De Beer with 5 drop goals in one match against England, is the drop goal king. And that from an avid Munster fan.
He never had a running ability and the prospect of tackling to him was worse than losing to Leinster, but frankly, WHO GIVES A SHIT! He’s a top three all time no.10 in my book.
Here come the O’Gara - Wilkinson debates
Nah it’s a simple debate Wilkinson was a better player but ROG had a more consistent and more reliable boot than Johnny (don’t get me wrong Wilkinson was a hell of a kicker)
As a Munster man I would say Wilkinson is the better out half but I would never swap him for ROG🐐🐐
@@samconnolly3601 Surely Wilkinson was a better placekicker with ROG being a better tactical kicker, possibly the best ever at controlling the game by kicking into touch and gaining territory.
@@fuzzylogiceire amen
Seeing a shitstorm in the comment section, I’ll just say that nothing is like Thomond Park on match day...
@wildebest I'm from Cork, I love Musgrave but the crowd in Thomond is larger
Im going to miss our annual Christmas trip to Thomond Park this December 😔 love the atmosphere there every Christmas #bluearmy
Fucking legend
Song?
Not a perfect player but he’d be the last to claim he was. Put his balls on the line for Munster and Ireland, for good and bad, and gave me a lot of memories I’ll never forget. Hope he wins the lot as a coach.
Can you do conrad smith
Ronan O'Gara had his 2020 back in 2009
When he scored the drop goal that won the grand slam?
@@samconnolly3601 When he gave away the penalty in the second BIL test series that gave SA the win. Still not sure what went through his head.
ROG was a tough guy.
Used to like Tony Ward ..and for power..
Lescarboura
irish god
Best 3 kickers last 20 plus years are 1 dan carter 2 johnny wilkinson 3 ronan o gara that comes from a real irish man
They wouldn't have been able to bring in the 50:22 rule while he played. Would have been a cheat code with ROG.
The good auld days, winning, losing and the drama to boot, pun intended. Don’t know if it’s age or nostalgia but rugby seems a bit too sterile these days. Maybe it’s just a golden era for Irish rugby ending and we have Farrell ball 🎳 to look forward to.
"would you believe thash"
Wilkinson is the drop goal king. Doesn't matter how many attempts, he holds the record for most scored and he managed to freely score them more than anyone else. ROG scored some great winners but there's doing it at the death to win a crucial game and there's doing it to keep the points ticking over and take the game away. ROG did the former. Wilko could do the former and the latter.
His DG against Saracens for Toulon was a classic example, as his kicking had taken the game completely away from them and the ease with which he banged the DG over took all the remaining wind out of Saracens
And as everyone has said, great content as always Andrew you're a brilliant creator
Go to 1.56 or the start of the video
Or 2.37
linster pricks up Galway
ROG
Jannie De Beer ? Drop goal king ?
oh shut up
Drop goal king😂. Slow, shit hands, couldnt tackle. A legend amongst the Irish. And NO ONE else.
@Paddy le Blanc "you post type good faz, you going keep"?! What?! Are you a five year old? Learn to spell properly spud eater.
Naas Botha is the king of the drop kick.
Who?
Messed up against SA for the lions though didnt he
@wildebest what did he do?
Went for the win, got to respect that though.
@wildebest didn't like my own comment but will like it now so there is two. Blaming him for world cups is not reasonable. He is the top scorer in the Six nations which is the international stage. Came clutch for munster with two european cups. As for it being an own goal thats a bad analogy, he was going for the win not a tied series and messed up the catch, shit happens especially when you are concussed.
@wildebest didnt read that crap cos you are lying
@wildebest delusional
What's this turnip getting a tribute for, he gave South Africa the win in the last seconds of the 2nd Lions Test in 2009.
And I'm from S.A.
Lol
I forgot that making a mistake in a rugby game meant you were undeserving of a tribute, guess I'll delete any player tribute I've ever made seeing as there's no pro rugby player I can think of who's not made a mistake...
@@AndrewDavidForde not so fast Andrew.There are numerous reasons, as an SA supporter, for categorising O' Gara as a turnip and you included one of those at 2.20ish when he scored a try against SA.Honiss had instructed Smit to tell the Boks to stop dicking around when this giant turnip sneaked into score a try like a weasel.
I guess Smit never contemplated that this turnip would behave like an Englishman.
Too bad that Aussie centre never punched him harder in 2011.
To be fair he was a pretty decent flyhalf.
mark willies both of us might be a bit biased (you’re from SA I’m from Munster) but really the referee should’ve called that back, he was playing what he saw and that was a wide open space - what should’ve happened I admit is that Smit laughs and calls it back
ROG is a Munster legend that put everything into his club and country
@@ieatbananaskins7926 Ja he certainly will rank as one of Ireland's best 10s.
Jonny is the king of the drop goals
Johnny Sexton it is
Ain’t as good at a drop goal as Lee Briers
It’s almost like they play different sports
And then he spoiled the Lions 2nd test 😫
Wilkinson is the king of drop goals
Is he though? I know he's scored a lot of drop goals but that's mainly because he attempted so many. In terms of significance, I'd argue that O'Gara is more so - just look at Wales '03, Argentina '04, Wales '09, Northampton '11, Castres '11 to win the game. All of these attempts were a single attempt in the last minute and would have cost them the game had O'Gara missed. Whereas with Wilkinson, the only significant drop goal as such was '03, where he'd already missed three drop goals in the same game...
Andrew Forde What about the one he scored against saracens or the two he dropped in a semi final against france just because they aren’t match winners doesn’t mean they weren’t on the highest stage of rugby
@@ahdhhren204 I never at any point said Wilkinson didn't score drop goals at the highest stage of rugby. But had those drop goals you mentioned not been scored, his team still would have won the match - and more significantly so Wilkinson wasn't under anywhere near the same amount of pressure for those kicks as O'Gara was for the drop goals that I mentioned.
Andrew Forde I usually agree with you on most occasions, but Wilkinson’s WC winning drop goal trumps any of Ronan “gifted the game to the bokks” o’gara.
@@newspaper9949 And that's completely fair enough, I agree that Wilkinson's drop goal in '03 was probably one of the most significant drop goals in Rugby history, with Sexton's vs. France also up there, but in my opinion, I believe O'Gara's ability to nail his only drop goal attempt of the match from 40m out in a do or die situation trumps Wilkinson's drop goal record. It's a completely subjective matter (that can never truly be proven) and I'm sure someone else will argue that there's another fly-half who's much better. But, I don't think him conceding the penalty against the Boks in '09 negates his drop-kicking abilities.
We're all entitled to an opinion but as the video creator my opinion is always going to bear some sort of reflection on the video title, nature of the video etc, so apologies for that!
Can't tackle though
@wildebest toxic pest you're all over this comment section.
Also, you're seriously gonna say ROG can't run after watching that video. He was a good runner for his time
@wildebest you got to get over the SA loss
Only 1 king of the drop goal and that's Wilkinson
Over rated. Lost more close and important games than he won.
Blown out the way in a simple tackle by Luke McAllister V All Blacks, his brain freeze and then blown out the way V south Africa in a lion's Jersey.
Defensively inept. Had a decent boot, Sexton should've replaced him years before he did.
Yes and no. ROG lasted over a decade in Test Rugby because he had no replacement until Sexton came out. But it was a time where rugby was different. Fly-halves were supposed to do just their job, and ROG was a master at doing that.
Care to mention what those games were Gary? I'm just interested
Nobody liked Sexton, tho :) ! His rep on the team now is terrible.
Decent but nowhere near as good as Carter, Wilkinson etc
@Paddy le Blanc well he wasn’t?
@Paddy le Blanc what are you on about paddy?
Na sorry, I just don't rate him.
Fair enough.
@Paddy le Blanc I didn't know he had accomplished all that. But I still don't think he would make even my Top 10 fly halfs of all time. But hey, just some random blokes on YT's opinion. Take it easy fella.
The only way O’Gara can be called the king of the drop goal is if Jannie de Beer or Johnny Wilkinson never existed.
Drop goal king? Really? I’ve heard of this guy called Jonny Wilkinson, he’s supposed to have a decent drop kick
Most overated player to ever play the game really weak Defense and decision making good natural skill mind you and nice bloke
He was able to win and lose a game by himself. More highs than downs though.
The worst player to ever be called a legend
More like the king of costing the lions tour 🤣🤣🤣
