What a player English was. And I'm Paul O'Connell.
Tagikakibau 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
But I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SMacCuUladh what seems to be the officer problem?
"Philsy, drive us around the f**cking pitch. I'll play for you all day, I swear to f**cking god I will, so drive us around the f**cking pitch ok?" Beautiful man
Nelson Sweatyballs who is philsy?
Mike Phillips, known for being mouthy and driving his forwards around the park, and forwards love a scrum half who drives them!
There's a reason a good scrum half is an out and out gob shite on the pitch.. the 9 is the eyes of a pack of forwards and can see what they can't of the opposition at rucks mauls etc.. Mike Philip's was one of the best scrum halves in his day..
@@isitwasit8756 He sure was!
Ahh look at how many of the boys looked right at Paul when he said "I'll play for you all day." What a leader, what a moment.
Chris O'Malley I spotted that too... That's leadership, something you can't teach...
Earð-Stapa 530 I'm sure he was talking to Mike Philips
A leader in every sense, a man to follow into battle
He was talking to Philip's because he backs his decision making when guiding the pack through rucks and mauls
They were looking at him intently trying to figure out what he was saying. The translator was late that morning.
I'm an England fan, I hated this monster when he played against us.
But what a player what an inspiration.
Truly one of the best.
He can only be described as a legend.
A real leader, not just in words but in deed. A man you would follow over the top of the trenches
Definition of a captain right there. And I'm English. Some boy
Richie Kidd your not English tho
English or Irish, time to pull together to destroy the globalist scum that hate us
22grena well said mate, well said, I’m sick and tired of seeing the normal english working class be nice as seen in this chat , yet others still can’t be nice about the english as seen in this chat, yet they call the English arrogant big headed etc when they are the least arrogant! And I’m Scottish so I don’t say that for nothing, I’m just sick of it. Time to be grown up about it. We together truly are a special breed . 🇬🇧 🇮🇪
@@nationstates7699 well said sir 👏
@@nationstates7699 They make the mistake of thinking we are all like the Empirical public school wankers that run the country. 99% are NOTHING like them.
This is what I love about rugby. Whenever Ireland play England you can guarantee that Paul O'Connell would do everything he could to smash Farrell (or any of the other England players), yet here he openly praises him. It's cliched but this epitomises the idea that Rugby really is a game where you spend 80 minutes trying to kill your opposition then shake hands and be friends after.
somanytakennames yeaah. 90% of the time. Some times in club or school rugby some guys are just such cunts you skip them
somanytakennames Its stranger than that. They're smashing tha crap out of one another while at the exact same time praising one another. Just like most contact sports!
A game built around respect, if only football took the same approach
You will never see any other sport that has the respect rugby has every sport should follow by example
Never saw fisticuffs on the PGA tour
You can see that Owen Farrell felt 10ft tall after that. Can you imagine how that felt? Unreal.
I'm Irish , and a big Paul o Connell fan , but Farrell is a great player, and for o connell to give him the ultimate compliment says it all .
I would follow Paul O Connell into battle everyday of the week and I’m Australian ..!
Paul oconnell is the type that loves being on a team no matter what the team is. A lion in every sense of the word.
Sorry im an English fan but i have to say this....I was so gutted when O'connel retired as was a sensational player
'22 yr old' - Anyone else would have mentioned that to humiliate the rest, but no, not this guy. He used it to inspire the rest. That's a true leader that cares for his team as a collective not someone that keeps all the high ideals in his head and demands all the time.
Bravo.
Every time I hear 'I'll play for you all day' the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. What a leader
Love it when our Isles are united. What a leader this guy is.
Me too.
Paul O’Connell and Alun Wynn Jones is the best second row duo we will probably ever witness. Such a shame we only saw it 3 times and never player was at their peak.
as an englishman I have nothing but the up most respect for this man
English rugby fans are gentlemen and I'll hear nothing to the contrary.
Was one of my favourite players. a legend and I'm English. True giant of union
O'Connell explains why Owen Farrell is England captain.
Zombie Jesus what the fuck is wrong with you lot, can’t you just accept things ?
@@nationstates7699 what has he said which is negative or wrong
@@BW-pc7lv He means why does Zombie Jesus have to suggest that the only reason O'Connell would praise Farrell is because of ethnicity? Could it not just be because Farrell is dedicated, hard working and a natural leader?
Professional Bob nah
@Based Department twat, god is about as real as santa Claus so get busy living your life because you'll be worm foid soon.
He's a born leader...Men like him are chosen not made. Respect from a 🌹fan.
After they one of their 6 Nations grand slams, Paul O'Connell politely asked the coach if he could skip the victory parade bit, as he had a farm and it needed him. What a fella. Respect from England.
That didn't happen. John Hayes went home to his farm after the 2009 Grand Slam I think.
@@solidbackman Hello my friend, I could have sworn it was O'Connel? I watched a video and it was the coach at the time recalling the story, so it's the best source you can get, the name's may have somehow got mixed up. I just googled the story with both men's name's but couldn't find anything after a brief search.
I'd love to get to who it was exactly?
Paul O Connell isn't a farmer so it wasn't him. He grew up in Limerick City
@@solidbackman Many thanks for finding that. I stand corrected.
@@mrnobody4237 Hey it was a good story anyway, and true. Just the wrong fella. John Hayes and Paul O'Connell are cut from the same Munster cloth.
Just watched this jumped off the couch and ran out the back why I'm out here god knows felt I better do something or Paul might get me
I'm an England fan...he's broken my heart a couple of times...but I love the fella.
Amen to that. Great figure and true lion. From an English fan too.
True class O'Connell. Shows what the Lions is all about
o donovan brothers
Dallaglio the was far better
That O'Connell inspirational spirit seems to paying dividends through to the Irish team today in 2018! As far as this Welshman is concerned, Ireland are the number one team in the rugby world! ( All Blacks included )
🤔 Not so sure about that this week. Let's see what happens at Murray field Saturday. Big test of character coming up
Think I've watched this about 40 times
When he talks everyone listens...Everyone looks up to him and respects him and behind it all he's a gent..Love the way Mako is just looking at him
Well they have to he's taller than them
from limerick that man is an absolute legend in these parts bout time they put a statue outside thomond park. hon paulie
K Ob theres one in the airport
Hank J Wimbleton ya in clare put 1 in all 6 counties lol
no staute of him yet what a disgrace limerick get that sorted 😠
tommy gunn
fu K ofc
You'd need a fucking lot of bronze
Like most great leaders, Paul O'Connell has understated charisma, is honest and inspirational. The fact that even back then a very young Owen farrell was singled out as an example of having a winning team mentality, should give his detractors a pause for thought.
Born leader
Rory Best is a great captain but I don't think anyone in the Irish squad is as motivating as this guy was for us. A big loss.
Best is a far better player than o Connell, I know they are totally different position wise but best is miles ahead of him , o Connell was just a mullicker , another Devon toner two journey men , lack pace handling skills
joke of a comment, clearly never watched the guy play.
Maybe you find it funny , the only shimmy and goose dance he ever done was when he was falling out of the claws pub or Gerry flannerys on Catherine street .
Anyone can run at a stone wall and break themselves up a smart player will find a easier way to get around it.
I mean people think he is some kind of super human force when he was only an average player .
Trevor Brennan was a far superior player who never got half the chances O Connell did
his natural ability isn't why he will be considered one of the best players of his time, his ability to game manage, lead, inspire and drive others around him on will be.
@@Fingim12 well said lad
1:10 Just watch the other guy's heads snap to look at him the moment he says "I'll play for you all day" - That's spine chilling inspiration!
Hardly snapped 2 had a little glance
When you don't have to raise your voice to be heard👏💪👍
"ill play for you all day" .. that turned a few heads. Paulie is a national treasure
This would be much better with the swearing included. There's a time and a place for foul language and in a rugby changing room before a match are undoubtedly the right time and place. Just put a warning in the title/description and let us feel the full effect.
vonteflon OK, can I stop you there Paul? Your language is atrocious, me and the team didn't need to hear that we don't appreciate foul language.
Hank J Wimbleton Not sure, you might be continuing the joke, but in case you misunderstood my comment, I said this *IS* the *RIGHT* time and place for foul language, and we should have been allowed to enjoy the swearing in all its uncensored glory.
I think the fact he called you "Paul" is a dead giveaway, also the fact you didn't use foul language in your comment...
True celtic warrior
POC is a legend. Physical, great work rate and never had a bad game.
Ruins it when the bad language is edited out, the swearing is what gets the point across strongest!!😅
Paul O'Connell- Captain, Leader, Legend
I'm Scottish, but this man is the ultimate in my eyes. Favourite player of all time.
What a great bloke.
Once-in-a-generation leader of men right there. And I'm Irish!
An absolute giant of a man.
Gotta love Paul's respect to farrel as a team mate an on another day on oposit sides he would smash him without thinking. This is leaving the game at the touch line kids learn this ul go a long way .
You follow this man up to the moon. What a player.
what a great player... massive heart.... Legend
He’s recently come onto commentary, and he’s damn good at that too. Very measured, impartial, insightful and intelligent. A joy to listen to.
we should get him into parliament
What an inspiration that man is ,if Paul o Connell says to a player (I could play for u all day ) you will go through a Brick wall for that man ,phenomenal Leader .
What a man, what an inspiration
The British and Irish , unstoppable force of nature
Legend! Nothing else needs to said. Old school leader. Follow me attitude
Men like Paul O'Connell are carved out.. A true leader..
An outstanding player...
Just imagine earning that man's respect...
One of the smartest people in sport. His exam results were that of an elite academic yet alone a full time athlete. Phenomenally talented.
And phenomenonally competitive
Well said what a man
Class player,class man,outstanding leader.
Absolute goosebumps x
LEGEND!
Amazing.. love the lions 🦁🦁🦁
What a man
*Goosebumps*
Great motivator.
legend!
I’d run through a brick wall for that man.
He is at another level....
Miss him
Last clip when the heads turn. That’s a leader right there
What a leader
Love this sport for the people in the commentary below!! Decent people, good people!!
I fucking love the Lions, and I love the way politics has Fck all to do with the team, Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh together, if only our politicians had the balls these players have, we’d all be a lot better off.
Great leader. Great man and i am english
My favourite ever Rugby speech
That my friends is what a leader looks like
God I love watching the lions...favourite sporting occasion always
Excellent what he said and how qulet he said to Phillys. There is some players you can't shout and scream but other players need to be made feel unstoppable
Heart of a lion
You can't see Mike Phillips's face but I guarantee you a tear fell!
That was john the Bull hayes who went home to his farm in buffalo co limerick.
Bruff co limerick I meant.
beast mode
The passion jesus
If Paul says it’s Thursday, it’s Thursday for all I care
I only wish player like Paul born again
I love rugby, once its in your blood it never goes away. Once your too old to play, you will do anything to keep hold of the feeling of being involved and playing with a team. Long live touch rugby lol!
Paul O'Connell = Laoch 💪🏆🌎
Hell of a player and man. What is it with International Second Rows either being heroes or villains. No inbetween
This is amazing....thank you for this insight!! Makes us feel part of the team seeing this behind the scenes stuff....especially inspiring team talks....keep up the great work British Lions UA-cam team!
You're watching a video about Paul O Connell and you called them the British Lions?
Actually it's the Irish and British lions.....
@@gracey2727 Actually it's the Irish and British Lions....
Speech: took 30 seconds
UA-cam: took 3 years
Need leaders like Paul to win a title in any team sport IMO.
Im not crying. There's something in my eye
I’ve always been a big believer that leaders are born, not taught. This bloke is a leader.
He should have been our line out coach on this tour to battle against one of the best weapons in the South African arsenal. Paul is a genius in the line out & has been so effective for ireland in his short career as their line out coach.
..... and this guy could play. I rate him with Matfield from that era.
the man of Ireland
Love this guy
Leadership is a privilege a team gifts to you, you repay that gift with servitude and yardage.
I'd die for him
Who did he say that to?
1:15.. Mako took that to heart and has to have brought that with him
Yes. Fucking Yes.
I would go over the top if Paul said so
What a statement to have on Owen Farrell CV,(I could play for u all day ),by the legend that he is Paul O Connell.and with a statement like that from the great man ,Owen must have been on cloud 9 for a while 2 great pkayers .
He was talking about Farrell in a different clip, just before that one.
In that last clip, he said "I'd play for you all day" to Mike Phillips ("Philsy").
Wong clip my flen
Owen should put that on his CV
Lol, Its at the top I'd say.
As an Irish man I have to say that I really appreciate the respect that the British players show the Irish. Kudos to the rfu and the various national bodies
Why wouldn't they? What a strange thing to say.
4 home nations,but 1 team when the Lions jersey goes on!
Ireland isn't a home nation
O Connell is a fucking beast
See the way Mako looks at Paulie in each video
