As a Welshman I can’t wait to see him play France at 13. We never gave him the ball enough when he was on the wing but now he gets it a lot. Never seems to have a bad game vs France. He is often aided by french mistakes but still have played well a lot of those games
Andrew you've outdone yourself here! Your content is already fantastic, but if you started doing 'every try scored' by big player videos I would watch every last one of them.
42 international tries in 100 caps for a player who's 28, had quite a few injuries (and with those, dips in form) and hasn't solely been played on the wing. Hell of a shift
It makes you wonder how Wales would have done without George North, he's been absolutely central to their success over the last decade. I'd hate to play against him, you wouldn't know if he was going to skin you on the outside or just run right through you. What's remarkable is that he played wing in a Wales team that didn't score a great many tries under Gatland - just enough to get in the lead, then defend like crazy! Now he's move infield to centre, where he'll receive more passes, and playing under Pivac - who values a wider game, running game - added to his immense experience, George may end up scoring tries at a greater rate than at any other time. He'll pass Shane's record at some point, and if he plays until his mid thirties - which is possible as he's playing in Wales, and his gametime is carefully managed - he could end up with more caps than AWJ and tries knocking three figures.
Tactic vs France: kick the ball towards their try line with North chasing. Let them get there first. Watch panic wash over them as they gift the ball to North. Try.
George never gives up on a chase even when it looks like the defender will beat him to the ball, but when they fumble the ball he is right on top of them.
Nous les français, on aime George North! La preuve, on fait tout notre possible pour qu'il marque les essais contre nous ! Sans blaguer, c'est un joueur fantastique comme beaucoup de gallois
Merci monsieur pour votre mots . Dans les 1980's and 1990's j'avais beaucoup de voyages a Paris a regarde Pays de Galles jouer . Tout le temps nous avons bonne rapport avec les fans francais . Jamais mauvais mots et le cameraderie de rugby est forte . J;espois c'est possible a regarde le match celui anne ! 🤔
@@glaslynx123 what a game! Désolé pour cette fin malheureuse pour vous. Vous avez été héroïques. You have good chance to win 6 nations even if I swear it will be France but Scotland is so hard this year. Thanks for this amazing match!
Top player. I attended two 6N games in my life. France v Wales 2013 and Wales v France 2014. I saw two tries from North none from my beloved french team. Enough said 😂
What I don't like about this video is how you've managed to fit almost 10 years into a 9 minute video I was about 20 when he scored his first try for Wales, 3 World cups and 2 lions tours later here we are
He's so good a picking lines and holes to run through. I think if he's going to play in the centre he needs to play 12 as crash ball Jamie Roberts 2.0 with Davies outside him. Davies better with the ball in hand would release Adams and LRZ much more imo. Could be lethal. World class player
jonathan davies is passed it to slow now and north is a better 13 imo as we can always have him crash at 13 and play out the back to a 12 or a 15 and at 13 he has more space to create something out of nothing such as the try against ireland in the 6 nations
Welsh backline has seen a lot of talent within the last decade with the likes of George North, Jonathan Davies, Leigh Halfpenny, Josh Adams But they never really outshone other countries in attack
the way he runs is like old pathe film footage of athletes from days of old. Michael Johnson did it pretty good on the track. cadence didn't look super fast but the power underneath was the thing. once into his stride he certainly took some stopping. BOD was fast but it was angles. Jonathon Davies is another with speed and power but very effective, Davies best of the 2.
As good as the Welsh squad has been since 05' (Winning most six nations titles over that period) these modern Welsh players aren't half as talented as the players of the 70s
As a Frenchman, seeing this dude gives me nightmares 😂 so many bad memories associated with him. Great player
As a Welshman I can’t wait to see him play France at 13. We never gave him the ball enough when he was on the wing but now he gets it a lot. Never seems to have a bad game vs France. He is often aided by french mistakes but still have played well a lot of those games
@@Rhys78686 He is owning that new centre role. From wing to world class centre in a year.
Good
Truly world class, as a Welshman he is hands down one of my favourite players to ever wear the Welsh shirt.
I love the guy but I don't think you can say he's world class. He was the best winger in the world for a while but injuries got him.
Really? Recently he’s not the best. 2 young guys has taken his wing positions and if parkes would be available he wouldn’t be in the starting 15
He was never really world class had a few good games that’s about it
I'd agree. I'd say in the last 2-3 years he's been overtaken by liam Williams and Josh Adam's, maybe zammit soon also?
@@garyambrosini1427 zammit could just be another Cuthbert or Evans
Love how all the ones against France are hilarious 😂
5:13 is literally an assist
I'm french and I agree lmao
Hes in great form at the moment. He will go down as one of our greats

I’m an England supporter but I’ve always rated George North he is world class
You definitely need to do these for more players like Shane Williams and other great players
Wont see our Shane powering over, dragging 3 irishmen. No-one could get near him!
Watched this whole video just to Ken Owens' face when he got denied the try against England.
used to think he was making an 'I am not worthy' gesture
He commented on that after the game saying it was relief that he didn't have to try and catch it 😆
Oi Northy you're nicked - that was mine!

Really hope he gets back to his best always been one of my favourite players especially after his tackle on Farrell years ago
You forget how good he is because he's been doing it for so long. The ultimate blend of speed and raw power 🏴
Yes - George and Jonah
You have to give it to George he was pretty special when he first came on the scene. Brilliant for the Lions in Australia.
When George changes direction it looks like an immense locomotive changing tracks. Excellent contrast to the legion of Welsh side-step wizards.
8:17 my favorite kind of tries are when your teammate pulls you into the try zone!!
an awj special
Love how Jonathan Davies is always involved
Rugby gives us so many ''legends.'' Global rugby all appreciating players from all the rugby nations.
George North & Jonathan Davies are such good players
Tactic vs France: kick the ball towards their try line with North chasing. Let them get there first. Watch panic wash over them as they gift the ball to North. Try.
I loved when he caught the ball in front of ken Owens and his reaction was priceless 😂😂😂
What an amazing player! Great clips mate - thanks!
George never gives up on a chase even when it looks like the defender will beat him to the ball, but when they fumble the ball he is right on top of them.
This man is a living legend.
loving the placement of the ball at 6:23
france love gifting him tries ...
Why France ? France beat them last year and will beat them this year . The best teams of the 6nations are Scotland and France .
@@nxah_bte absolute fool
@@tomivins9246 he was right in Rd 1. Now: - - - -
@@nxah_bte why France?did u watch the video
@@nxah_bte LOL 11 months ago Scotland lmfao thanks for the laughs kid
One of the few Welsh players I’ve got respect for but definitely a lot of respect for that man
why dont you respect the others ?

What a animal, people slag him off a bit these days , but he doesn't get enough ball in hand, but when he does he still scores cracking tryes.
one of my favorite player
Top player. I attended two 6N games in my life. France v Wales 2013 and Wales v France 2014. I saw two tries from North none from my beloved french team. Enough said 😂
I remember all of these tries, does that make me sad? Probably... 😅
What I don't like about this video is how you've managed to fit almost 10 years into a 9 minute video
I was about 20 when he scored his first try for Wales, 3 World cups and 2 lions tours later here we are
moments like this are when the whole family gets up off the sofa shouting
the amount of sit up tries George North has had against France is comical lol. Amazing player nonetheless
Thats probably why he's more inclined to chase them :)
Damn that man has scored some bangers
And only 29 if he wasn't so injury prone he would have more tries and more caps
28 and he's been more consistently fit than Liam Williams, Jonathan Davies, Halfpenny etc
Rugby is so intense compared to other sports, it’s inevitable to get injured nearly
@@hught2575 ya it's so physical. Most Players have peaked by the age of 26 now because of the physical nature of the game. It's scary really
@@CD-603 maybe it's not the worst advice from scientists & eddie jones to have a few less players on the field to avoid some of the physicality..
"more caps" - you realise at 29 he's the youngest player ever to win 100 caps for his country?
George North is the epitome of Welsh rugby. When he’s not on form, Wales aren’t on form. When he is, Wales are lethal.
He's so good a picking lines and holes to run through. I think if he's going to play in the centre he needs to play 12 as crash ball Jamie Roberts 2.0 with Davies outside him. Davies better with the ball in hand would release Adams and LRZ much more imo. Could be lethal. World class player

the one thing he can't do is score a try against France which doesn't make me physically sick to watch.
2:07
Loved watching Shane and a young George North 10+ years ago
george north truely class. tipuric, ken owens and halfpenny should all go down as legends too
Haha,poor Ken on that crossfield kick against England that North stole,the Sheriff threw his arms up and said,fuck,not North again
😂😂😂
5:43 that step
He was so much more physical during his younger days
Hes got another 42 in him! 💪
One of the best Welsh players of all time and one of the only ones from my part of Wales - the North!
Beautiful stuff. Thank you
Don't think George is getting any complimentary Cappuccino's next time he's in Italy!!
All O'Driscoll tries for ireland?
Reminiscence therapy. Lovely.
Here's hoping that George will be back playing in the New Year. A great player
I don’t care what others say he is one of the strongest ball carriers in the world
Superb!!
Great to see Taulupe's big afro again!
Can we speak about Jonathan Davies too
@Ethan McClure yeahhh and in the video Jonathan is often the last ball carrier
@Ethan McClure might need to win back some of those accolades, it been a while since injury
LOL all the comments saying he is not world class? He is a professional Rugby player and he sure as hell is world class.
Cracking vid
Listen to the crowd at 2:34
It’s been a great 10 years to be fair 👌
Welsh backline has seen a lot of talent within the last decade with the likes of George North, Jonathan Davies, Leigh Halfpenny, Josh Adams
But they never really outshone other countries in attack
He equals former All Black winger Jeff Wilson's record. AMAZING!!
the way he runs is like old pathe film footage of athletes from days of old. Michael Johnson did it pretty good on the track. cadence didn't look super fast but the power underneath was the thing. once into his stride he certainly took some stopping. BOD was fast but it was angles. Jonathon Davies is another with speed and power but very effective, Davies best of the 2.
He is really fast!
What a player, love him. Unfortunately he took a lot of commotions
great vid!
Fantastic compilation...The only way is North!
what. a. player.
I was there for his first
The voice of Eddie Butler.
Class
Let’s hope St George will help the Dragon tomorrow 🏴🏴🏴
He did
@@nigelclats6970 oh yes he certainly did 👍
Yes
Video idea: Best Rugby debuts
Best player ever to put on the red jersey
I’ll pay you if you make a Pienaar - Ulster montage ;)
Has he really not done one yet?
🔥
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Good player... Most of the tries against italy and scotland though.. 2 or 3 against southern hemisphere???
10 against SH.. Proportionally about right for the games played .. Scored more against England than Scotland
i mean it cant be that hard to score against italy
@@rhyswilliams8966 Dont know.. I never scored against them... How many did you get?
@@welshpedro well I scored a fair few in my time having 44 caps
Still 16 tries behind Shane Williams. Not sure he will surpass that
Sean O brien should have been in your xv video
Sorry?
Who is here after his 43rd try 🆚🇮🇹
But he's had his time.
Such a legend but sadly he's anonymous on the pitch lately, sad to see
...and now despite being in-form and one of the standout performers in the team - he gets dropped.
Y is Bod not in your xv of the decade hes the best player in the decade never mind the top 15
Because he retired in 2014 so only played four years? And in those four year he was already past his best?
Some player
Hi.
Hello
@Tumassot Tarugu predictions on Wales vs England?
@Tumassot Tarugu I'm praying that it goes Wales' way
@Tumassot Tarugu unless Wales get a freak grand slam haha
1st
As good as the Welsh squad has been since 05' (Winning most six nations titles over that period) these modern Welsh players aren't half as talented as the players of the 70s
Amazed he got to 100caps,,what’s he done????👎🏼
Defensively weak....great going forward
DeFeNsIvElY wEaK stfu you make me laugh
Do you think he was spurned by an Italian girlfriend or something? How many of his tries are against them?
no italy are just a bit shit for now
