He is one of the most unpredictable winger of the irish team since a long time... even Lowe is not so creative. He creates opportunities. he could be a pretty good french winger !
If you were in another profession nobody would have anything to say if you got all the papers giving you the right to do your job in that given country. When it comes to professional sportsmen too many seem to object to it. Merits is what gets you a passport to a different country. I am happy with that especially in the context of pro rugby. There are too many fighting for a place in the Australian team. This guy wouldn't have had a chance to show how good he is if he stayed where he was. Shouldn't we all be happy that he is giving us such moments of brilliance?
There's a huge difference between playing IN a given and playing it FOR the a given country. There's something about certain nations attracting talent from other nations that distorts the spirit of international sports.
@@pancholom I see your point but the world is rather globalised and business has taken that spirit away a long time ago. It's a bit like the fight language purist put up against the invasion of foreign terminology. It is Donquixotesque
While you've got a point, Aki isn't an automatic starter and Hansen is barely hanging on to his jersey. He was by far the weakest link in the Irish team from the French game. Lowe is playing well but isn't a huge loss when he's not there. Jamison Gibson Park wasn't fit for the game so Ire can still beat the best teams without their best foreign born players. There's a lot of competition for jerserys and I'd argue Irelands world class players are predominently Irish born- Sheahan, Porter, Furlong, Beirne, Doris, VDF, Sexton, Henshaw, Ringrose, Keenan.
@@brucemitchell4895 Well, 'Farrell' is an Irish surname.haha Nowadays, most sides has coaching panels made up of people from different countries. South Africa have had Irish and Munsterman- Felix Jones, in the coaching ticket for a long time now. NZ is the only coaching ticket that is generally 100% kiwi, afaik.
@Gaze I suspect you are just doing some friendly trolling but I'll bite anyway. There are only 4 of the foreign born players that regularly play in the Irish team. Also every team has foreign born players in it (even your England, who famously, aren't fond of anyone from foreign shores) have 5 in their squad. Scotland have 21. Even the All Blacks have a bunch. It's not cheating or anything. That's how the rules were made.

Another strong Irish accent. It really doesn't matter where you are born, but it should matter where you grew up from child to adulthood, where you learned your rugby. All these strong Kiwi, Australian and South African accents in the Scottish and Irish setups are making Test rugby a bit farcical.
@iAgree I don't think its Irelands problem currently, they love it. Look at Scotland, they would never be the team they are without foreign imports. Only 19 out of 40 in the Scottish squad are Scotland born and raised...absolutely ridiculous.
@@conorstagg8888 I don't have an issue with 1 or 2 so much, but I think they need to put limits in place for guys who only moved to that country as adults. Scotland having a quarter of the starting 15 with Afrikaans accents who lived in SA until their med 20's...come on.
@@dcs4880 Ya I agree with that. As I said though I don't think you can say Mack Hansen and James Lowe are like for like. Hansen has every right to claim he is Irish, with an Irish mum. I know this as my kids will tell you they as Irish as anyone else, even though they were born and live in Sydney, and their mum is from Argentina.
@@conorstagg8888 Yeah I do think that where you learned your rugby should be considered though. For me a Test match is a test of that countries talent vs another's. Talent produced by an Aus rugby system shouldn't represent Ireland in my opinion, or at least should be limited to maybe 2 players. A player born in Aus though but lived and grew up in Ireland, is Irish as far as I see it - he would have an Irish accent, he learned rugby in Ireland. Nobody says Andrew Mehrtens is South African because he was born in Durban for example, because he grew up in NZ. Thats more NB for me.
Du Pont question is at 7:20 in
Legend 👍
Ah legend. This is what we're here for! Cheers.

@iAgree You're very irritable, are you ok?
@iAgree did someone ask u to be a little prick? thought not mate pipe down
He is one of the most unpredictable winger of the irish team since a long time... even Lowe is not so creative. He creates opportunities. he could be a pretty good french winger !
Pretty sure he’d be first choice in any team he walked into now
When he says words that end in “t” he all of a sudden falls into an Irish accent 😂
@iAgree we don't say 't' like Mark was referencing. That was Irish.
Now I can’t unhear it lol
😂😂😂 totally
@32 to 12 as mentioned, it’s because they’re more clever than yourself. Your envy is quite hilarious though.
7:20 Is his answer fairplay or admiration for Dupont? 🇫🇷 :)
Matt has acquired the soft "th"s that define an Irish accent 🙂
But other than that , sounds like the Australian that he is .
Haha. I noticed that too
@@GST51 He's half Irish as his mum is Irish, I'll have you know.
@@conorcahill5422 pretty much everybody in Australia's parents are from somewhere else.

jeez he's only 24... he's going to be here for years!
Dupont is god
Thanks for this. Plus can anybody tell me when the what the documentary he was talking about was called. Never seen it. Cheers ❤️🇮🇪🏉
@Gaze wow your a great help. I’ve never heard of Google in my life. Thanks for that. Have you ever heard of irony you prick?
Dupont learned from Villière (watch the last match against New Zealand for example).
Great player
All those living comments about him not having a Irish accent are just jealous he is not in there time haha 😆 watch him and weep
I know a few aussies and that tash is popular amongst them.

Irish?
His parents are
Yup, just like his Cork born mum.
His ancestors were smart enough to steal bread to leave Ireland, they would be rolling over in their graves he went back
Half Irish, mother is from Cork.
Why didn't the Wallabies pick this guy?

He’s only half Australian.
Loving the accent……greaT.

@32 to 12 why are you watching the video so ?
Is he from Kerry ?

France would beat Ireland today. They were not 100% ready few weeks ago.

He doesn’t sound Irish but Australian
I am a bit ignorant of these things , is that a Cork accent , Dublin? .. Donegal ? .. I don't know ?
Yes, you are aren't you.
Australian accent
He'll probably end up with a Galway accent as he has bought a house there and has plans to stay there for now .
@@conwaynoel3715 he will need back in Aus as soon as international career ends , there to play International rugby, nothing more .
