Gleeson is a different beast to Max Deegan.
Agreed. He is a very different type of player to Deegan . Poor comparison
What he ment is he has to work his way into Munster team ahead of good players Coombes Hodnett Jack Od, kindellan .. like Deegan had to. Wont be easy nothing is definite in sport
He was just saying how Deegan was touted but didn't quite develop to the level expected of him.
Glesson looks more suited to International rugby. Then Degan who is still waiting to break that physical barrier at 25
@@TheKennyboy92 the issue with the comparison is Ruaidhri completely left out Maxs cruciate injury that cost him 12 months of his career.
Gleeson reminds me of Stephen Ferris....If he avoids injury which Ferris couldn't he'll be all time great, which Ferris should have been 😊
Ferris was incredible, was sickened he never made the 09 Lions Tour. Would have loved the rough stuff down there
Ferris was amazing.
The next Max Deegan? Brian Gleeson could become the best #8 Ireland has seen in years; Mangan and Quinn look pretty special too.
No one said he was the next Max Deegan. Hilarious how many people just listen to what they wanna hear (to be outraged).
You clearly didn't listen to what he said
13:49 The guess say Prendergast is the best 10 in this tournament... Apparently he hasn't seen any game with French 10 Hugo Reus (1 year and a week younger than Prendergast) who scores 2 tries, made 16 out of 17 conversion, 1 penality kick and got one 50/22
Bizarre Ruaidhri calling Sam Physical .. he missed about 5/6 tackles alone in the SA game
he may of missed a few tackles but made a try saving tackle. Also if you watch him across this tournament and the 6 nations , he made plenty of big tackles and is getting really good at holding up the tackler , creating a maul and often turn over ball. He's also 90kg and 6+ft
Am I the only one who sees how slow he is? He's another Ross Byrne.
@@paulleahy155did you not see him outpace a French centre to chase back 80m on a loose ball, or running the length of the field against Scotland and offloading over somebody’s head against wales. Don’t think Ross or any Irish fly half has that.
@@paulleahy155when was the last time we had an outhalf with gas??? Johnny isnt that quick either...maybe Carberry is the quickest of the current 10s in Ireland.
The backrow is off the charts great!!
I suppose Leinster plan on hanging on to Ross Byrne, Harry Byrne, Chalie Tector, Sam Prendergast and Ciaran Frawley? Who's coming through in Ulster and Connacht?
Ruaidhri O' Connor is one of the most knowledgeable, articulate rugby journalists anywhere.
Max Deegan is only mentioned as an example of a guy who stood out in the u20 2016 WC as a standout player yet has struggled to get into Leinster starting team (albeit he has had a lot of injuries) and that there is no guarantee these guys will be able to make the jump to regular starting professional or that the path ahead will be the same for all as Deegan had Conan ahead of him and before he could outshine him in comes Doris and they make the point Gleeson will have to compete with Gavin Coombes who is only 3-4 years older and could potentially be his rival for years at Munster
Don't believe Gleeson was compared to Deegan as a player, just an example of what may be ahead of him and to temper expectations I think.
backing both teams for a great game ahead on friday ! the SA grass will be greener with the irish under the french boot :)
I wouldn't confine him to this, Brian Gleeson will be [the next] Brian Gleeson - his potential ceiling is higher imho.
Would love to see paddy mc carthy playing loose head for leinster this season and ronan fox aswell
He has a lot to learn and is still very young, I saw scrummage at AIL 1A level last season and he struggled badly at times. He needs time.
If Gleeson was a Leinster player the D4 media would be hyping him up beyond all bounds.
The defence vs SA was insane in the 1st half, that maybe the winning of the final if they can replicate it.
France isn't SA
@kropotkine9640 pretty sure we've beaten France as well recently.
@@Hedgebets100 it was in Ireland and by 2 points... I don't think Ireland can do the same on a neutral ground
@kropotkine9640 maybe or maybe not. A win is a win. It's not as if it's in France either.
@@kropotkine9640 or course they can.
Max Deegan are u for real.
The Deegan/Gleeson comparison is very odd, and made odder by the fact he ignores the cruciate injury that cost Deegan a full calendar year of his career.
What "comparison"? He never compared the players, just offered caution about what awaits the players when they return
Max deegan at this level was phenomenal even more impressive than gleeson in my opinion, and that's saying a lot so it's fair to compare the two
Maybe you want to say the next Caelan Doris . . . . .
Hasn’t had a test yet and they’re calling him a future superstar. Could be being set up for failure
Gleeson is a more beasty, slightly less footbally Doris. Deegan is a world class player, but Gleeson's
will bent this game Ireland's way. Is the bitchiness because he's Munster?
Deegan a world class player? What planet are you on?
@@grimsey212 Grim. Same planet that would start Deegan in every other national 1st 15
Oh for Gods sake, it's not bitchy and it's nothing to do with his being from Munster! It's just a note of caution about pressure/expectation on a young lad, and he's using a Leinster player as an example! Max Deegan came out of the 2016 tournament as U20s World Player of the Year, the ceiling was huge for him! But events/injuries and those ahead of him in Leinster conspired for his career to be good but not as stellar as it might have seemed at the time. Gleeson has vast potential, he'll almost certainly be nominated for U20s World Player of the year, but there are no guarantees in sport, or life. God knows these past couple of weeks have made that patently evident.
@@mikeaherne7376 ah yes .. Deegan would be a shoe in for the French and South African back row
