Love this guy. He reminds me of the guy in the pub that can fix computers but he can also eat a pool ball and beat you and your mates up

[@mckayhatch6723]

He’s one of my favorite players to watch. Guy is a bowling ball.

[@Mike-8686]

Known in Scotland as pinball

[@boom4301]

Mike pinball i like bowling ball as he just boshs whoever is infront and “rolls over them” pinball sort of suggests he bounces around and off his opponents in my opinion anyway

[@Mike-8686]

@@boom4301 .... you can like bowling ball all ya like,, but he's known as pinball for exactly the reason you discounted it.... go watch his highlights more closely pergaps? He does a strong mix of smashing over or smashing around n off 4 defenders at once. Either way has to be a stick on for the lions

[@boom4301]

Mike aye hes definitely the lions 7 in my view he may be known as pinball in ur region of scotland but as a whole he is known as the bowling ball as he doesent just bounce of boys biggar than him he steam rolls them

[@Mike-8686]

@@boom4301 that's my point, rewatch his clip, his doesn't always just go thru, quite often he bounces off thru or into other players, still demolishes them but pings around much more like pinball than smashing straight down the middle. Ive watched every game he has played in last 6/7 years and honestly never heard another person call him a bowling ball

[@thottobot7444]

I really hope this man become a lion. 100% deserves it

[@jlm4455]

In 2017 he was the best flanker in the 6N in every game he played but one. He outplayed Tips, Warbs, POM et al but …. That one game? England gubbed Scotland. Gatland used it as an excuse not to take him. "Too small, not physical enough." Laughable when you consider Sam Kane played for the ABs. Instead? Gatland took James Haskell. I'm still bitter about that. I get Warbs, POM start but Watson off the bench? I guarantee he would have had far more impactful than Haskell.

[@gordon1545]

Your wish has come true!

[@knk7065]

He will actually run into the tackle he’s so confident he will break it the mad lad

[@breizhatao1622]

the two flankers of scotland are so incredible, Ritchie and Watson!

[@iangrubb6470]

Unbelievable player. Hard as nails ( Most other players wouldn't get up straight away after being smashed by Kepu's shoulder), always has a decent number of tackles per game, beast at the breakdown and virtually unstoppable with the ball in hand. Heard him described as a human wrecking ball. And he is.

[@omgim0nfire425]

Could watch him play all day, he's an absolute machine

[@binjammin3076]

Thanks sooo much I have requested this on your last few videos he is sooo underrated and such a powerhouse for Scotland at the moment

[@tigers586]

This bloke is an absolute hidden Warrior! Frickin amazing!

[@biggest23]

Holy smokes this guy is a beast. I'm one of the many Kiwis that gets a real kick out of seeing the Scots hurl themselves in to a hunt for victory and this guy is clearly going to an insta-grin generator for that.

[@channelbree]

He somehow has the frame for being strong and explosive, uses quick changes of direction with power to bounce into contact. The guy can sprint too. Lions #7 for me.

[@wl4gapo395]

Excelente player, excelente music and excelente video. Best rugby video maker. Greeting from France

[@charlottescott7150]

Great skill, speed, power and support lines. Brilliant thank you

[@webo43]

What a god is this guy

[@DeeJay2715]

Top guy, always seemed to play well against Wales. Love the headband too!

[@robmurray1990]

What a player! Some parts of this are like a Jackie Chan movie as he fends people off. Amazing!.

[@masonbillington2641]

As a Englishman I love watching this man play one of the toughest out there

[@Cameron_fish]

Best openside in the world.

[@jlm4455]

2017-2018 I think that was a legitimate debate. Right now? That is Tom Curry.

[@Cameron_fish]

Not a fucking chance.

[@ColmM36]

Great Vid! Any chance we'll get his fellow Scotsman and flanker Jamie Ritchie next?

[@AndrewDavidForde]

Colm Mannion should be coming very soon! I have his performance vs Italy coming out on the second channel tomorrow at 12:00, so be sure to watch that!

[@ksuave13]

@@AndrewDavidForde what's ur 2nd channel?

[@canadiancontent352]

Did. U or anyone ever do Ritchie vs Japan. Possibly best flanker performance of rwc

With snow as the music to makes it perfect

[@simonleslie3607]

What an absolute menace. Go Mish! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@benvanwessel1984]

don t know why the musical score seems so fitting, maybe because Watson is one of the most modest and easy going lads out there, anyway great tribute to one of the best players in the world. thanks for uploading Andrew!!

[@cameronelson1768]

Yes mate, cheers!

[@williamdmason9375]

Hamish is the Preverbial bowling ball and knocking them over like pins and for his size thats Incredible .... I Have Never A More Ambidextrous forward like him and he goes like the clappers...Give him the ball...Hell For Leather ...This Is the new shape of the evolution of forwards Scotland are lucky to have him.

[@cmcc4904]

Hamish Watson is my new Scotland favourite now that my man Greig Laidlaw has retired. I still miss Greig tho :(

[@danielmcquade4005]

Starting 7 for the lions

[@boom4301]

Daniel McQuade definitely👍👍

[@marcodalu5494]

would definetely love to see it happening

[@o.binwheelie9733]

I think Tipuric has got to start. I’d love to see a Tipuric and Watson flank partnership but I don’t think that’s the way they’ll go against the saffas, they’ll want more bulk. Watson would make a perfect impact sub though.

[@AM-jh7jg]

Tipuric is less good then Watson i think. I think it's more likely that thy English Flankers and 8s will get back row places

[@boom4301]

Osama Bin Wheelie i see where ur coming from but frankly i think its pretty crazy to be starting tipuric over watson, watson is better in every aspect of the game the only thing tipuric has got over watson is height but even then watson is much more powerful and is hundred times better at attacking than tipuric. But with gatland at coach its always gonna be tipuric starting cuz hes always biased towards wales and everyone knows that

[@MrTashTastic]

Really hope he makes the Lions tour, he would be some impact off the bench and possibly be able to sneak into the starting team

[@colshivers8018]

rhys jones Yeah I think Tipuric edges him for the starting spot but based on his recent performances alone the Mish should definitely be in the squad and get some test time.

[@jlm4455]

@@colshivers8018 No. He is a better player than Tips right now. However, Curry is the best 7 at the minute.

[@ianthomascunningham6478]

[@AndrewDavidForde]

Cheers man!

[@EllliotJackRussel1]

His running style into contact reminds me of Schalk Burger, the supporting playing of Martyn Williams. Overall is similar to Michael Hooper IMO.

[@adamcasey3626]

Future Lion for sure!

[@boom4301]

Been a world class 7 for a number of years now in recent times i think hes slowed down a little not as much energy as he had in many of these clips but during his prime maybe a year ago he was definitely best in the world up there with Michael hooper

[@adammiddup-jones4563]

dont want to be the one to break it to you mate but hooper has never been the best in the world

[@boom4301]

adam Middup-Jones why dont u want to be the one to break it to me thats ur opinion lol i just think hoopers been incredibly consistent over the last 5 years never having a bad game and to be the best in the world thats at a position in rugby i think consistency is the 1 thing u cant not have but nevertheless me being scottish id say hamish watson is better lol

[@bobgallaghar4716]

Underrated

[@MrRugbylane]

7 is the best job in rugby.

[@jlm4455]

I will never forgive Gatland for taking the likes of James fucking Haskell over Hamish Watson on Lions tour in 2017. A disgrace. Watson has been quietly excellent for years. In Edinburgh's darkest days Watson was often a one man team. I get the nod to Curry, Underhill but Watson has been doing it for longer. He rarely if ever misses a tackle. Very good over the ball and slowing the ball at the breakdown. Arguably as good a ball carrier at 7 as any player at the position in test match rugby. Love to see Lions have him on bench to back up Curry. Come on in last 20 and cause havoc.

[@MegaDelboy1985]

[@magnuspeacock5857]

He has worn some truly despicable kits over his years with Edinburgh

Do George Horne

[@paulhickman8668]

Like many before on these comments, should have been on the last Lions tour, the ABs would have hated him, I doubt if he will get on the next tour either, Jamie Ritchie has a better chance, more of a Gatland style player but probably won't get picked anyway. Thanks for the video.

[@scottdittmer5597]

Makes me even more proud to be Scottish. One Man Demolition Squad.

It’s the old adage holding up as it always does. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. South Africa ,as Australia have done, will find this out soon enough.

[@MrCravendish]

I'm surprised Edinburgh and Scotland don't get more support runners to run off Watson, he breaks so many tackles I would have thought trying to get him to offload would create some good tries. Not saying it's easy to offload when you're spinning around like that but if he did....
