Heaslip in decline since '09?

[fourthirtythree]

How the actual fock is there 4 pages of this thread??

This.

Because of this!
England Italy game a bit of crack isn't it?

If I'm being honest; he actually carried well today. But I will be back with a GIF of him getting the ball ripped off him in contact at 62:20.

I'm very proud this has gotten over 1,000 views. My work here is done. Good night and good luck.

Ireland’s maverick number eight fails to score with rugby’s clubbable stuffed shirts
Jamie Heaslip may be unorthodox but he also qualifies as an exceptional backrow forward

Saw that this morning in the paper, interesting reading but can't imagine it would go down well with the haters.

As prommised... like taking candy from a baby.



Can't believe my thread caused a journie to write an article in his defence. Awesome.

Filler by a bored journalist who doesn't really want to talk about the game.

They resent Heaslip because he doesn't care about them and won't lick up to them.

[offshorerules]

Yes I found it interesting. Far more interesting than anything you have contributed anyway.

[simonokeeffe]

Going by pictures alone Heaslip does seem to have bulked down a little bit which is interesting

I don't think you really mean that.

Where's the ignore button?

Going to miss you too.

A lot of guys have. Chop tackling is working too well against boshing.

Need mismatches to get anywhere and it's speed and footwork that are as good at wearing down. Outside of a few positions in the pack there is a lot of room on offer for smaller guys.

Yup, noticeable trend of clubs now going for smaller forwards that get driven back and lose ball in contact.

[ronk]

Indeed. Lots of smaller than international with Munster and playing for Emerging Ireland

No gif of Jamie handing off the Argie tighthead? Can we just have the one where he runs over Rog then? Always good for a chuckle that

Like Kilcoyne?

Ya, but Kilcoyne doesn't get driven back or lose the ball in contact, silly.

My granny would have steamrolled ROG god rest her soul. I'd say Heaslip was devastated when He retired.
