@@legomanyeh I would agree with you here if you were looking at the absolute perfect 7 but in terms of combinations he works perfectly with Doris and Beirne who both can steal ball, so i guess it’s not a huge focus.
@@terminusest6068 that's not fair, most ABs aren't cheaters, they're brilliant rugby players. McCaw definitely rode his luck a lot but that's more a reflection on poor officiating than anything he tried.
The power of social media , making average to good players the best in the world. Was this guy even in the British and Irish Lions squad? Dont think so. Became world best in 1.5 years when he could make an average B & I Lions rugby squad. He might be the best of average no.7’s but man he is no ways the best rugby player in the World. Peter O Mahony would have been a better choice or Sexton. Interresting how Farrel was nominated as one of the World Rugby players of the year in his first full international season. Luckily not again but that was as crazy a decision as Van der Flier, even with his 62 tackles against NZ 26 carries , 5 heel against the head , 8 line out steals etc., etc , is he even human ???
62 tackles , sure , thats like double the previous record for any international player.73 rucks .What do you take us for , there is only 80 minutes in a game remember. He also tied his laces 152 times. So average , so hyped up , thats how you become World Player of the year.
What 7’s are better in the game than Van De Flier right now?
Honestly a tough question... his work rate is a joke, his carrying is better. Doesn't get a huge amount of steals though

Maybe Hamish watson in his prime is better than josh prime
Also underhill prime can be a hard opponent
Watson is absolutely not better than VDF is now.
@@eoinh3816 i say "in his prime"
turning into Irelands best ever 7. absolute warrior...
Best ever?
@@PocketRugby, I think he could be Irelands best ever 7 if he keeps progressing the way he is now.
@@scottjudge5704 agreed. Sean O’Brien may have something to say about that but i always saw him more as a 6.
@@PocketRugby o brien was a 6 for me also. If anyone has anything to say it would be David Wallace at 7
What a beast of a player. Deserves to be player of the year
How is he so strong on defence? Plus he has vision on attack, what a beast. Ireland is lucky to have this guy.

Serious player!
He really was phenomenal in this series. Kiwis won't look it but he reminded me of Mccaw, with a little more athleticism but not as much rugby nous
nothing like macaw as he isn't a cheat.

Yep that's our Wicklow man Van der Flyer with the help from ONE of the south sea islanders that went below your radar for a change !
his name Attacki.
Pardon?

wrong...just like Gatland who didn't take VDF, Sexton, Ringrose, Slade etc and look how that ended up.
Made savea look average in these clips. Even steam rolled him in of them. Richie McCaw (who stole won from bod) didn’t anything special
Serious copium overdosing going on here 🤣
Should've taged the video Newzeland v South Africa😋
Why? His grandfather was Dutch
@@michaelsmith3685 not at all, just acting the maggot tbh!
I've met him, great fella, Dublin born and bred^^
