I still suffer anxiety every time I watch this though, always expecting a knock on. For me personally it shows why rugby is the greatest sport and the 6 nations is one of the greatest sports competitions in the world
I was in croke park 2007 for the France v Ireland and they won at the death.. that drop goal made up for heartbreak.
One thing that really irks me about this is Eddie Butler's 'Ireland have stolen the game' line at the end. No. Ireland would have stolen it with a soft penalty after a few phases. Ireland won this game with skill and stamina - they didn't steal anything.
Shows what Irish passion can do
RIP Eddie Rug g will never be the same ❤
Fantastic end of match thanks to Johnny ! Magical inspiration ! I'm a French fan of the Green Army !
Still goosebumps after the years! Unreal
Sexton was born to be a rugby player. Such incredible passion for the sport!!!
i truly think this was the best i ever felt
What s passage of play. Unbelievable
The Welsh commentator clearly didnt want Ireland to win. Ireland didnt steal the game they won the game the hard way.
He is Welsh and British what do u expect 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇮🇪🇪🇺🇮🇪🇪🇺👌
@@northeuropeantaxpayer7097 wales is in britian so duh
They did steal it tho didn’t they?
@@gruffyddrimmington8945 yea 🤣 if tbat last kick didnt happen then france wouldve won, and had france had scored that penalty they couldve wom by 4 points, id say jreland stole this victory in the last play of the game
@@steffanmevel6599 you could say Ireland could have also won the game by 4 points if sexton didn't miss his penalty before France penalty
And he became a legend forever more
For another take on this classic moment in 6 Nations history, get the video with the French Commentary - it's another Classic!
Love Eddie Butlers commentary, sadly missed.
God, I miss Eddie Butler's commentary. God rest him.
Keith Earls on fire. Devin Toner showing he is not just for line outs. Cj we miss you. And Johnny is King. Even if he's a grumpy king
And this is why Ireland will win the World Cup
Well that aged like fine wine
A brilliant game and a brilliant day 🇮🇪
They didn't "steal" it, they won it : )
Exactly typical English commentary at least the kiwis call a spade a spade
le Drop.
The most amazing thing about this game was it took 36 phases before the commentator mentioned the phase count 🧐
Phenomenal demonstration on how to keep possession rather than kicking the ball away like England seem to enjoy doing!
Absolutely Amazing 😮.
Exhilarating. Magnificent.
I am not sure I have ever seen a 41 phase attack before, incredible to do that with no mistakes.
Munster did it in Thomand Park back in 2011 (I think) against Northampton - O'Gara drop kicked the winner! It was 41 phases too ;-)
All the pain from Vincent clerk Ireland were due a last min win 😂😂
Yeah that was gut wrenching that day stung like hell!
I ran out of the room crying screaming at my mom that it wasn’t fair! I was 22
Most iconic moment in Irish rugby history.
lol
this is why union blows league out of the water
league is ok but its too one dimensional
@@Trajan2401 Yeah rugby league is good but union is better.
Union >>> League >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sevens
Fair play to France what discipline in those phases.
4:04 The absolute fear and resignation in Brian Moores voice is palpable
Makes up for croke park 2007 that did.. My dinner went up in the air.. I knew from that moment we would win the slam..i was at the 2007 game where France scored last play of the game
How did Ireland do in the RWC 07 same year😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me, Ste Campbell and the boys were at this, some of the absolute horseplay after the game 🤪 Absolutely sending it
absolute ledge bags
@@hughmcnamara1790 rock chants going left right and centre
Not quite in the same fashion as this, but kudos to Scotland for "Ireland'ing" France in the 6 Nations, with a last minute try. Funnily enough, France did the same to Wales, but thanks to Scotland, Wales have beaten France to #1.
It wasnt really deserved though was it
"Stolen"? No no. This was bought and paid for with blood, sweat and tears
Extraordinarily restrained & pedestrian commentary at the key moment.
Such a fantastic goal
The commentator made me laugh , the great French defense he says , over and over again, until Sexton shut him up .
If carlberg made the ends of rugby matches……
Well don boys made Ireland proud of yous❤
MUNSTER 41 PHASES Brought me here
Absolutely mad for Sexton to risk the kick after 80 mins
41 phase fairy tale!!!!!!!☘
Rip Eddie Butler
It wasn't a steal, you can't steal a win if the game isn't over. Stealing something means it must be owned and france didn't own the win because the game wasn't over.
Horrendous commentary. Like or lump Ireland, one of the greatest phases of play in rugby. They did not "steal" anything. Well earned.
niccccccceee😆😆😆
!!!!!!!
O gara v Northampton 41 phases sexton v France 41 phases luck of the Irish
Brian Moore is a disgrace...”sport is rarely fair” his partisan commentary is shameful...his first reaction should be, to recognise the brilliance of over 40 phases of error free rugby, capped off by one of the best drop goals you’ll see in terrible conditions...but no..we get treated to his usual anti Irish tirade....for shame BBC.
They didn’t want Ireland to win. You could hear it in their voices the whole way through.
Come on ireland we can beat any one any where any time to my god why not no body can challenge ue open invitation to anyone from the hole world we are irish
Warriors 🇮🇪💪
MUNSTER 41 PHASES....vs Northamption................
yeet ireland
All the sweeter french fans thinking they had won 😀
The cheers when the clock turned red are like music. 3 minutes later, at the time I was pretty much deaf and paralysed.
I think France world cup winner's
😂😂😂
Id like to see Ntamack or Ramos miss that kick at the start - Ireland wouldn’t have a chance
Yes, let's imagine people that didn't even play in the French team 5 years ago make this kick 🙄 You're nothing but a clown 🤡
Really disturbing to see these people so close together in the crowd and acting so irresponsibly. How many people died after this? Thank GOD we will never go back to this diease superspreader events. Stay home, wear at least 2 masks, only go on essential journeys. Stay safe, let's protect our lives and the lives of granny and grandad. Wash your hands.
Mate, this was from 2018. Over 2 years since COVID became a global pandemic ._.
But you are right in saying that we have to be careful, god knows there are people that aren’t.
Are you high my guy?
@@paulderrico6153 right wing conspiracy theory nuttter in the house. Are you really suggesting we go back to these huge superspreader events that inevitably lead to huge cases/ICU entries/ deaths and even more lockdowns?? Are you seriously suggesting this?
@@joeybloggs2100 are you fucking dumb lmfao
41 phases , this is the problem with Ireland . They were shown up in the World Cup for what they were .Beaten by Japan and gangraped by New Zealand . Ireland beat NZ in an end of season meaningless friendly and thought they were world beaters . If they ever want to get past the quarter finals of a World Cup , they will have to drop the arrogance
What part about us is arrogant huh?
How can you call the Irish arrogant in a sport where South Africa, England and New Zealand are the biggest teams? 😂😂😂 also “meaningless friendly” fuck off back to soccer with that mentality
shut up you dont know what your talking about you clown
you utter toss bucket hahaha you have 0 knowledge of sport
U ok Jane hun?? x
Best ever phase play finished off by a sublime kick.goose bumps and proudness personified 🍀🍀🍀
Steal the win?
No, earned it the hard way☺️
