He really is such a likable man.
Christina is pretty likable as well 😁
@@Keizer_Soze ok, this is about tadhg though
@@uncleryze5049,
Who? 😃
@@Keizer_Soze 🤣👍👍
@@Keizer_Soze the interviewer ofc smh
french here, i remenber last year when ireland loose (or loss...)the match ,he came into the french room for drink a beer with baille,very class!
Would love more interviews like this
No way!!! I love your channel, man! Keep up the amazing content.🙌🙌🙌 By the way, you sound like a Southsider.😂
fancy seeing you here
John Hayes and Furlong should start a farming podcast 🤣
Rory Best, first guest or 3rd host
John Hayes sucked
Biggest thing - why is that only 11 min ? It could easily have been an hour . Tadgh was relaxed and interviewer was very good
Christina does a good job with these kinds of 1 on 1 interviews! I've always seen her on tv but this was a different side to her than pitch side with the other pundits. @worldrugby would love to see more of this kind of video from your organization with players from all over the world highlighting the characters in rugby.
She's also hot af
she's a bit easy on the eyes.
Love this fella. No bullshit. All his heroes were Munster legends. He would have fit into the Munster setup like a glove.
Great to see all the bitter Boks in the comments. Made my day. Hon Tadhg and fair play Christina, looking well.
As soon as I saw the words 'best prop' in the title, I knew the comments would be awash with bok supporters. 😂
MOD SA
No idea what you talking about fella! I'm SA and very much enjoying this interview/chat. Suggest you rein in your "all too quick" judgement and criticisms of us South Africans
I didn’t see any Boks comments. However, I have a finely honed ability to ignore anything their fans might post.
"everyone played" way it should be when you are young! top man Tadgh
Hi beautiful
Love his down to earth nature and attitude. Seems like a great guy
Wonderful interview, Tadhg a humble man and great Wexford, Leinster and Irish hero. He gives so much back to his community and the youth of New Ross & South West Wexford. Keep being you Tadhg truffle farmer & chicken goujon connoisseur😅😅
Furlongs Farm is a TV show amazon should do
A real ordinary Irish man 🇮🇪☘️👍👍
Irish man yes but far from ordinary mo chara 🇮🇪
Hello, from Florida. Enjoying the interview. I'm an American fan of Ireland Rugby and Gaelic Football and Hurling also. I'm still trying to sort out who in Ireland plays Rugby. Seems like it's a sport that is played in both the Republic and in NI.
Hi Joe, rugby and hurling and football are played throughout the island both North and south. Some religious divide in the north but sport can and is a great way of bringing everyone together. I am from Cork and grew up with all three sports.
Funnily enough Joe, when it comes to mens senior international sport, there are two football(soccer) teams on the island but only one rugby team!
Joe, as Brian has said above - rugby is unique in that the Ireland team is made up of players from all over the island of Ireland. Football has separate teams - the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There is a history to that. Its why there are 2 songs played when the Ireland rugby team plays (I think only at home games) - Irelands Call and the Irish national anthem. Irelands call was brought in to include the players from north of the border.
Every county in Ireland has a gaelic football team and a hurling team, which you probably already know.
And Donegal is the best county in Ireland :)
If you're into other sports where Ireland plays internationally as one, check out their cricket team too!
Pleased to report they're on the up!
Everyone have a read through the comments to spot the South Africans. I swear, they have to be party to every online post. They mirror their coach Rassie in their negativity. Despite winning the World Cup 3x they always act like they are they are forgotten men. 'What about us' they ask, as they contribute another negative post online. Someone told them they can only be good at rugby...and they believed it. Insufferable. Where are the decent Saffa fans? I know they're out there, somewhere.
You should be more charitable.
Remember that the Boers’ sphere of permitted public participation has contracted to exclusively anonymous online rugby commentary, that they are a people sourced from the lowest feudal class of feudal Europe, that their culture is limited to rugby and braaivleis, that they are taciturn earthy creatures, and that no-one ever said of a particularly talkative individual that “he could talk for South-Africa.”
Also, I consider Byrne to be be the best tighthead of my lifetime but - be more charitable.
It is virtue both in Catholicism and in Christianity.
No idea what you talking about fella! I'm SA and very much enjoying this interview/chat. Suggest you rein in your "all too quick" judgement and criticisms of us South Africans
@@jacqloock somebody should give you a quick history lesson on the history of SA and the origins of all its people before you make the assumption that only boere support the boks.
I think any rugby fan would acknowledge the talent Furlong brings to the field but to claim that he is the best in the world is arrogant beyond measure.
Yes you beat us in Dublin but there is a small matter of the RWC where we have triumphed 3 times. See you in France...
Excellent interview. Intelligent questions, for a change. Open, honest and funny responses. World Rugby should do more of these.
Great interview. Refreshing. The big man is a legend
He just seems like 1 of the lads. I'd say he be great crack in the pub!
'Craic' in the pub
Thanks for this interview, I’m great fan of this player, I wish to him a good match for Saturday. 👍❤️
Great interview Farmer Tadhg!
Absolute legend.
Conducting a good, natural, flowing interview is more art than science but she does a very good job of it.
Hands down my favorite player!!!
Great interview, very genuine and grounded lad, lochgarman abu
Respect from NZ.
Furlong and The Bull Hayes , 2 of Ireland's finest
Met John Hayes at a vintage machinery event. Very down to earth man who was genuinely happy to chat, probably more so because we were talking old tractors as opposed to rugby!
Great player Great interview!
There's a TV show in that - When Furlong met Hayes
Great stories 👍🇮🇪
The Jukebox!!! Great guy!
Great player from a welshman, great interview, pretty lady
Christina Mahon makes watching these videos so much more enjoyable. For an obvious reason.
Farming and rubgy are sport's spirit
Ahh that’s his secret A farming upbringing always seems to produce the hardest rugby players
I think you’re probably thinking of farming rugby players and then that they’re hard. Fine. However, if you think of the hardest rugby players - how many of them are farmers? Not any in my list.
Colin Meads, hardman, was a farmer too and dominated NZ scrums in the 60s
go watch him play on here, he runs like a back, and passes like one too, these days propping is not just scrummaging!!
liked how he said it can be different for people in different places, Irish prop star front and centre ☘️
Quality endearing engagement
Seems like a nice chap, I had a feeling he'd bring up woody as an inspiration.
Class Lad he is
Legend
She's beautiful
Love Tadhg
Hi beautiful
Every time I eat a goujon I will think of this!!
Think if he drove over to Bruff, he'd bump into the Bull
great interviewer
Now I know where the extravagant story telling in Australia comes from !
e.g. "drop bears" being meat eating koalas with huge fangs that drop from gum trees and rip your throat out ha ha ha .
Until mid 70s springboks we’re almost all farmers and had by far the best record in intl rugby, down hill since then
Yeah 3 world cups later straight to the bottom.
Ah jesus Tadgh ,black and white bulls and blue tractors, but your heroes are red, You should always meet your heroes ,meet the bull at the ploughing myself, you now the list as someone to meet
Mammys spuds and gravy 👌 😋 ☘️🇮🇪
Tadgh is a great guy and a terrific prop. Best in the world? There will be differences of opinion on that one.
He is funny 😂😂
Hon Tadhg
3 kilometers Tadgh? You mean 15 Furlongs brother!
2:39 they pick them especially unagreeable
Super star 🌟
Crying laughing 😂 😂😂
Nic is the underarm bowler equivalent in rugby.
chicken goujons are actually a separate part of the chicken.
set up an interview with big john hayes
They better set him up with John Hayes!!!
Have never heard him speak before...definitely not your typical culchie 😂
Wexford isn't very culchie to be honest, speaking as a Wexford culchie myself.
@@RazorMouth He has a very mild Wexford accent. And he didn't once say quare. Only I remember him and his Da from underage I'd really question his Wexford roots. 😂
@@martinsavage3052 Take it from me, his roots are very Wexford! I used to know his family, grew up in the same village - and picked strawberries for his grandfather as a Summer job when I was a teenager! I have more or less the same accent too.
What's a "typical culchie"?! Your comment just shows up your limited acquaintance with Wexford people and your stereotyping and prejudice! It makes as much sense as talking about a "typical townie"... 🙄
@@m.forrestal5893 I never doubted his Wexford roots, I've known his dad since underage rugby in the early to mid 00's. We were both youth coordinators for our clubs.
Would someone not have thought of bringing the poor woman a comb?
Whether you think he’s the best or not - This comments sections is absolutely tragic
Cant help but notice that most of the so called Bok comments are from distinctly non south african sounding names.
Ohhh..the worlds worst fans are up in arms again i see (BOKK fans) cant handle that another country has a far superior props! than they do 😂 great interview by both
Ohh look. Toxic Boks filling the comment section with kak 🤮🤮🤮
Shouldn't the boks fans on here, be focused on tin foil hat conspiracy s.... Since 2020 they've been embarrassing
Best prop because unlike the south africans, he didnt abuse steroids to get that big
Kitshoff looks different these days.
World's best prop? That'll be Cyrille Baille.
Tadhg Furlong is hands down the best tighthead prop in the world. He outplayed Cyril Baille when Ireland beat France a few weeks ago
Comparing a th with a La prop is like comparing apples and oranges
@@patrickchilds2987 what makes you say that?
World's best prop??? 😂😂😂 Very, very funny! 🤣🤣🤣
Something tells me that defeat to ireland hurts a bit more deep than the boks are letting on 😜😜😜
@@tomgallagher7870 Keep on telling yourself that mate. 😂 EVERYBODY outside of Ireland knows the Boks were the best team on the field, having dominated most if not all of the stats, and losing only because of horrific officiating ... admitted to by World Rugby later. The Boks saw the Autumn Internationals, as always, as just another good opportunity for experimentation both tactically and player-wise, because ONLY RWC counts since the advent of professional rugby.
Well if u cant finish a team off that u so called dominated your in serious trouble come the rwc..you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about the title of this video too..🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't have a chip on my shoulder, the Boks do. Beste record at Rugby World Cup AND the reigning champs. And well on their way to make it two in a row. Interesting that only Irish and French supporters take me on. Their fear is profound! 😂
Wouldnt say take u on.rather whats the story with the emojies regarding the title of the video..your emojies suggest tadgh is no were near the best like its way off the mark hes been one of the most consistent players on last couple of years..
Hi, I'm an operator too! Just wanted to visit and send you some motivation to keep going! Check mine out, if you have some time.
Who said he is worlds best prop.
Worlds best!👀👀
Best prop😂😂😂
Good player. Maybe the 3rd best after Frans Malherbe & Wilco Louw.
hahahahaha he monsterd him not a month ago 🤣 hes better than anything SA have
@@Stephno86 Really, he monstered Frans Malherbe?
How did he do that then, both of them being tightheads?😂😂😂😂😂
Funny that Frans Malherbe had his hands full against Leinsters 4th choice loosehead last week 😂 Furlong can do it all! Malherbe is just a scrummager and can’t even do that very well
Frans Malherbe looks different.
So so many bitter and twisted Saffa’s in the comments. (unsurprisingly) whinging and whining about the best prop tagline.
Or perhaps drunk uncle Rassie just has a serious amount of burner accounts & has had one too many once again 🍻
Don’t forget Nchu, Kitshoff and Malherbe
South Africans can never just let others have their fun. Worse fanbase in world rugby, bar none.
@@sambingham1196 boo hoo
Don't forget about those people for what reason?
@@ocodeskamcdbsm Because Springboks own ALL front rows, and have done so for ages.
@@wouterswanepoel5753they did in the past, absolutely but not the case in the past few years
He is NOT the world nest prop!!!! The SA scrum and their props gave him sweets in the scrum. So retract that he is the best.
Unlike the SA props hes not jacked on steroids
Woman interviewing is hot
Wouldn't say worlds best prop haha world rugby smoking socks.
😂😂😂😂😂, worlds best prop! 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
What age are you?
@@RazorMouth old enough to appreciate a good joke. And you?
@@phelansa23 so about 12 then?
@@RazorMouth if that is what it takes to rock your world, then let it be so. That will make you what? 11ish?
@@phelansa23 was I the one that made the sad original post? 🙄
Worlds best?
Who’s better in your opinion?
The worlds best prop according to who ?....
Lmfao!!!
World rugby
You might find that Frans Malherbe is the best tighthead prop in the world.
Nope, Furlong is hands down the best tighthead in world rugby and has been for the past 5/6 years
Best prop?? Second to frans malherbe!!!
Who?
Who cares?
World’s best prop? I think there are plenty of Boks that would dispute that one!
There's more to the modern prop than scrummaging.
100% at the rate he’s going probably the best tighthead prop ever. The man can literally do it all. He recently kept some of those looseheads and tightheads from South Africa very quiet a month ago.
He’s beaten South Africa three of the last five times he’s played them. Not sure what other metric you’d use?
They really can't say much when Tadhg had kept them quiet in recent years. Boks supporters don't appreciate any player that doesn't play for them whereas the rest of the rugby world can appreciate a talented player no matter who they play for
@@ocodeskamcdbsm can't a person have a oppion
About 4 years ago he was indeed the best prop forward in the world. Today, not really. He's still world class but Frans Malherbe, Steven Kitshoff & a few of the French boys are above him imo.
@@Mikelangelong All those beautiful things you mentioned does not make him a stronger or better prop... BTW, Frans Malherbe is the best tightheadf prop in the world... :)
Furlong outplayed the springbok front row a month ago.
Typical saffas making everything about them
Lol Malherbe you’re absolutely dreaming
Written by a South African.
His open play only adds to his fantastic scrummaging. He also has superior fitness and can go the 80.
He couldnt even Survive 40min against the Springboks
He outplayed the springbok front row a month ago when we beat them! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪💪🏻💪🏻
But he went up against them in the lions 3 in a row and crushed their maul and scrum in the ans? You always talking Shite on the internet
@@harryocallaghan8082 How did he outplay? Even the Irish team didnt outplay us. Even world rugby acknowledged that the tries that were scored should have not been given and that decisions that was out of the boks control cost the boks in that game...not because we were outplayed...i mean because the match stats is clear on that.
@@harryocallaghan8082 I watched the game last night and focused on him...where did he outplay us? He got dominated in scrums and he got dominated physically...had to be taken off at 39 min.
@@Nieljoyceniel Yes and he got dominated there as well...Lions forward pack were dominated by the springboks....I dont understand what game you were watching. Our forwards dominated the entire series. i think 25 wrong calls went against us in that first lions test...the video footage shows the blatant cheating of the lions and then went on to get fucked in the next 2 tests
Yet he’s not the worlds best prop,malherbe schools him every single time.
Worlds best prop? Wouldnt even make the springboks starting props or bomb squad.
i cant Remember when we last lost to the POX i meen boxs, neither can Tadgh
@@hansim5155 You man are still proud of a victory that was given to you by decisions boks players couldnt control? Geez even world rugby acknowledged that call cost us that game. He got fucked by our physicality thats why they took him off.
are you rethinking that yet? you should be
they got show up there recently by Ireland. couldn't compete at the scrum even with all that extra weight, but I guess that is hurting your pride
@@BoomsRiddico4868 Couldnt compete at the scrum? Were? You mean that one scrum where we dominated you and then you still got awarded. Watch the match analysis on supersport then you will see who actually dominated the scrums mate.
"World's best prop" 😂🤦🏽♂️ The European bias within World Rugby is astounding 🥴
Bit like the SA bias in SA rugby I s'pose
@@winterishere9828 Don't be dumb. There's a difference between World rugby and SA rugby 🙄
@@nguboyengwekaluvuyo6219 no SA supporter will ever respect a player that doesn't play for them and that's a reason most rugby supporters can't stand SA supporters. Every single SA supporter on this thread, think Tadhg is useless and the only props worth mentioning in the world at this present moment are SA which is absolute rubbish. There are amazing SA players as there are amazing players in every national team around the world but unlike South Africans, other rugby supporters acknowledge this. Why is it SA can't acknowledge any player that isn't SA?
@@ocodeskamcdbsm stop attacking everyone.
Everyone has a oppion stop saying all the boks supporters you read a few comments on a UA-cam channel and it sparks a big outburst ?
@@oraait go on all social media platforms and review all posts on Rugby and very rarely will you see a positive post/comment made by a SA supporter with regards to players from other nations. It's getting old at this point. This video is about a talented player but yet SA supporters see no talent in him and for some, doesn't even deserve to play for Ireland. What is wrong with appreciating the skill, talent of a player and why does it always have to come back to, the player not deserving whatever accolade because SA are better? Plenty of supporters won't see eye to eye but you don't see them consistently bashing the players
Wierd that hes not actually the world's best prop..
But he is
He's the soundest and funniest prop 🤣
@@RazorMouth Marler is in with a shout on funniest
@@yatakun is he the soundest though? 🤣
Got fucked by the South African props.
Definitely not the world's best prop 🙈
Take this from a Yank... He's very likeable, but being the best prop in the world..? Not by a long shot... totally laughable to be honest!
Tell us who is then. Considering you know so much
@@rick1892 I actually doubt he is a yank. He is definitely a SA
@@ocodeskamcdbsm do you have a problem with SA?
All your comments are based on SA
@@oraait I have a problem with every single negative comment on this thread, which are all from SA supporters. To be honest, any video and it's comment thread that involves Irish rugby involves complete abuse by the majority of SA supporters who comment on them and that goes for all social media platforms. SA supporters show no respect for players outside of SA and it's getting old. Other rugby supporters from around the world can appreciate talent in other countries besides their own but not the case for SA supporters. Why is that? I can look at any nation and appreciate the talent in the squad as can so many other supporters around the world but for the majority of SA supporters who comment on videos or other posts, you won't hear a positive thing said about any player outside SA. That's my problem. SA have amazing players past, present and no doubt future but never will the top rugby XV consist solely of 15 SA players. I can look at my own team and say a player isn't good enough or they lack in a certain area, yet still play with skill and intelligence in other areas of their game. Why can't SA supporters do that
go watch him play on here, he runs like a back, and passes like one too, these days propping is not just scrummaging
Who gave him the title of world best lock?
Doh, he's a prop not a lock
Somebody from South Africa
Imagine tadgh smashing it into the interviewer
2 inches won't cut it.
Lad what does this even mean 😂
Don’t have 45 pints before commenting. Makes you look like a tw@t.
