what irish rugby players does the southern hemisphere respect?
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.

For starters you have to understand that the difference between the southern and northern hemispheres is immense. Although I don’t know a lot of Irish Players, as a New Zealander I have come to respect the Ireland rugby team more than any other N.H team. As far as players go, I would love to see Brian O’Driscoll play in the S14 (a real explosive player). So yeah i definitely respect O’Driscoll, as for northern hemisphere rugby? Not so much.

heaslip and bowe. in fact i respect the entire irish team. good on them for representing their country. the only one i don’t give much respect to is odriscoll. i lost respect for him after his years of moaning and whining.

O’Driscoll for sure. Wallace is under rated too.
I’d love to see them at the ACT Brumbies

I really like the Irish rugby team. Ireland have some of the best forwards in the world. I think Brian O’Driscoll, Ronan O’Gara, Tommy Bowe, David Wallace and Jamie Heaslip are all great players. Some of them do not get enough recognition.

All of their forwards are worthy of respect. Obviously O’Driscoll in the backs and their fullback was also very good.
