what irish rugby players does the southern hemisphere respect?

By admin · May 2, 2010 · Filed in Lions Rugby · 6 Comments »

Read some where that some were impressed by kearney when we toured and during the lions…
i know there are alot of people who dont like brian o driscoll… but id hope you would respect him too

by respect i mean think is a good player… im not saying would or wouldnt make it in to teams just want to know if the media is making things up

are these true… is there any1 else??
ferris wallce heaslip or earles possibly??

I wouldn’t categorize this question into hemespheres. It’s a personal choice. For instance, I respect O’Driscoll as one of the best mid-fielders in the business, but also think he’s a whinging, whining pratt, so that takes the shine off a bit. But yes. Respect as a class player

My favorite Irish player of all time is Keith Wood. An absolute monster, and seems the type of guy I’d have a beer with. Total respect for that guy, and I know alot of kiwis who would say the same. Peter Stringer is way up there for me too.
