Re: Thank you Isa
2016 Montpelier. Scoring in corner at end, realizing that 2 more points needed for losing BP, then instead of easy touchdown dragged it near to post for important conversion.

The track back and tackle on Ashton in the same game, creamed him. Sexton did something similar vs Glasgow this year and I immediately thought of that.Blue not red blood wrote:The mid air catch and run v Northampton in Cardiff.
It lead to Seanies 40 yard rampage
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: Thank you Isa
The ridiculous step for a try V Saracens back in 2010/11 season(I think) in the RDS, we were hockeying them, but even so. The commentator was most impressed.
Every wet and windy night in the RDS when the big knobs were off on Ireland duty and Isa was his usual professional personified.
Leinster was no place prima donna's with Isa around.

You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Re: Thank you Isa
A high and illegal hit on Jamie. On today’s rules he’d definitely be yellow carded. Injured him too- although he played on. But I always thought it affected Jamie from then on that season.molloyjh wrote:The hit on Chabal in the RDS anyone? I think Chabal had just put in a big hit on Jamie and it was like Isa was proving a point.
Isa got him though. Just enough arms to make it legal.

It's like the stuff of folklore and legend handed down verbally to the next generation. Chabal done GBH on Heaslip and pretty soon after that
Isa completely buried Chabal......put him in the ground. Taught him a lesson and that was the end of Chabal for the rest of the game....he pretty much hid for the rest of the 80.
Really gonna miss Isa, not just on the pitch but off it as well. Any time you wanted a photo or something signed he gave so freely of his time even after some very very bruising battles.
RESPECT!
Re: Thank you Isa
Class act - both on an off the pitch.
Should be extremely proud of what he has achieved in the game. Best wishes, Isa - may the road rise with you.

I know it's not a Leinster match Isa is playing in here but I do love seeing Wales lose.

Re: Thank you Isa
He very nearly replicated against Racing a fortnight ago. He still has that uncanny ability to to use his handling of the ball and body language to get extra yards when running towards the line.FLIP wrote:I know it's not a Leinster match Isa is playing in here but I do love seeing Wales lose.

Post match stuff.
Little glimpse of ISA sitting on his own in the corner near the end of the clip.
Hope he has a long and happy retirement.
And then comes back and takes up a coaching role.

J-lo is with him. Thanks for posting that as I hadn't seen Richardt in any of the photo's and was wondering if he'd made like a banana.blockhead wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6dvIpIJdiI

The embrace between ISA and Ferg was telling of two double hard b$&%@#ds masquerading as gentlemen.

Re: Thank you Isa
Ah feck. I got something caught in my eye.
Love that man.
We should find out when he's finally going to the airport, and cheer on him through the boarding gate, one last time.
