Excellent video selection. He is a player of immense skill, power, and intelligence.

Massive player strength guile and a wicked side step 🔥

One of the first names on the plane to SA. Very much helping to evolve the role of prop into the modern game.

Genuine world class player. He’s brilliant at everything - ball carrying, tackling, ball skills, pace, over the ball in contact area, scrummaging. There’s no doubt more.

So much brilliance in five minutes, but the sidestepping v Scotland is the standout highlight for me. 🤩

I don't understand how any human can be that strong and then he is agile...sidesteps really well and great speed for a prop. Superhuman.

2:05 the greatest moment in rugby history without a doubt legendary😂😂😂👍👍

Furlong, Sinckler and Porter will be the lions tight heads. As much as I would want Francis to be there too I can’t see it unfortunately

The speed of that man is frightful

a farmers son with farmers strength...and the easy going nature of a country man...a gentle beast of a man...Respect

I was waiting for it, thank you Andrew 💪

A prop forward who can knock down opposition scrums, players, step, pass, receive and bloody deftly offload... It's practically unheard off

Legend

Getting to stage where he should be considered one of the greatest right heads ever. Certainly starting to creep towards Carl hayman in modern era. Add in another couple of lions tours and by the time he finishes he’ll be a great

The inside pass he does against England for CJ try a few years ago is ridiculous. The guy is just unbelievable. Leinster/Ireland better sort that contract out soon enough

Outstanding prop forward power skill and well able to play football

Love to see a big old horse play like this

Thats the power that picking shtones, shpronging silage and pulling calves will give ya, pure farmer strength.

suggestion: best/funniest celebrations after scoring or winning a match, there's some great ones out there

I would say that he is the tight head that I have seen - there may have been stronger ones (bench press more or whatever) but his technique is superb and, when combined with his work in the loose - as good as most open sides have been - he is superb. I just wish he had been lucky enough to be English (hoho)
