Tadhg Furlong

Post by Laighin Break »

Couldn't see if he already had his own thread (although he surely deserves one), but mainly wanted to point out that his name is Tadhg, not Tadgh.

Cool! You could put that clip of him smashing NZ forwards aside on permanent loop and I would never get tired of watching it.

Is that Fanjio on the flank behind him? What happened there?

I know its a highlight real but he is a f%~king mutant. I've never seen a THP to a) have such an appetite for the ball and b) use his momentum and strength so efficiently.

That's what I thought. Doing the reverse O'Mahony? I wonder did he jump in a lineout?

Yes. I know.
I was making a futile attempt at humour. I'll leave that to SOKie in the future.

The complete player really.

He has been known to step backs as Cipriani and Piutau can attest to.

He has serious hands. Even off his left he has a 15m range with some pace on it.

Immovable in the scrum.

Serious appetite for rucks and hard yards.

Flashy carrier too with some significant highlights in the department.

Genuinely charismatic fella too.

All he needs to do is start hitting some conversions and the gold statue can be commissioned.

What did we do to deserve a player of his calibre?
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

He's also incredibly durable and fit too, often playing 70+ plus minutes when he starts.

The best TH in the world for me. I wouldn't trade him for anyone.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it, he's apparently fit for Sunday.

Sometimes you just look at him and think 'We do not deserve you'. It's almost Messianic.
