Jason Robinson - The Flash | Career Tribute ᴴᴰ

[@marynorth7988]

Not enough superlatives for this young man's contribution to rugby...apart from that ....as an old lady in my 70's ...he's very pleasing to the eye !

[@markhamer7220]

Steady on Mary!!!

[@kd2239]

As an irish rugby supporter i had only massive respect for this guy. Total professional, gentleman, absolutely legend. Such an exciting player. Every time he touched the ball you would sit up in your seat.

[@charlesevans2701]

I had the privilege of watching him play for Sale, he could produce something from nothing.

[@crummdog8125]

My favourite player. What a consummate pro and superb player of both codes. Genuine superstar:

[@simonmdoyle2426]

for me as a Eng-ger-lander, that break against Wales in the QF RWC, when we were up against it, when he goes past about 7 players..........incredible

[@billbonnington7916]

the defining moment of RWC2003 for me. We were under big pressure that game, and it changed on that moment.

[@mickthornley7210]

He didn’t have legs, he had pistons, what a legend 👌

[@GA-ko4ew]

What a compliment! Pistons! Brilliant!

[@jonnybaynham1689]

The 07 World cup, when England were pasted by SA in the pool games, he was the one player who kept fighting and really battled the Boks to the point of injury. I thought when he went off that England literally had no hope. Him and Wilkinson were real leaders in that team during one of the worst eras for England and brought England from the brink to a hard fought final

[@mlguy8376]

Watched him at the 10 year reunion match against Australia at the stoop - he was still so bloody sharp especially against some “little” out of form players!

[@sailasabenbulunasui541]

He and Johnny Wilkinson was the reason why I loved England the way they played was of this Era 💯

[@actimeladdict2564]

No one could put all of this mans highlights in one vid so this is amazing

[@hughfranklin4002]

An awesome player in both codes, as i'm a union fan i'm glad he came to our code, but the league fans have it right he is and always will be Billy Wizz, oh and a rugby legend in both codes.

[@KnightWing274]

This guy is the god of sidesteps, I still remember him stepping habana in 2007 WC

Legend. Listen to Good Bad Rugby Podcast, what a man!

[@stevegordon2032]

Just an amazing athlete to watch. Strong as an Ox, intelligent and tough. But when he sidestep feints and then lights the afterburners......wow. Just seriously quick and that try against Wales in the WC. Phew.

[@ryanlinthwaite4364]

I do think if he was rugby union his hole career he would of be the top try score for England. I think he is the best fullback that England have ever had. What a rugby player his was. I still miss seeing him play.

[@ukmateus]

The excitement electricity and expectation he created ball in hand was unparalleled apart from Lomu.

[@crummdog8125]

Couldn’t agree more. The standing start pace and acceleration, never seen anything like it.

[@samwiselemon6420]

@@crummdog8125 its the change of direction at full speed that always shocked me

He was better than Jonah.

Magnificent Jason, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🐐

[@royw-g3120]

Very similar to Barry Sanders in American Football. Both could escape from a tackler in a phone booth! Both an utter privilege to witness. Both too, renowned for being humble and great teammates.

[@hartybob9859]

he's not the flash he's billy wizz all the way

[@IanD-ut4dy]

I was always amazed at his ability to change direction mid-air, absolutely stunning. He's like an Audi A3 with a V8 under the bonnet, power to size ratio was immense.

[@whyumad8947]

What a shit comparison

[@chriswright5050]

What a hero, what a man

[@terencemason3245]

[@AppByDesign]

Oh the memories ...

[@ericmcgrath3445]

The CRAP that passes for “ music “ these days 😒😒

[@chrissay3780]

Such a disrespectful piece of rubbish to use for such a magnificent player.

[@royw-g3120]

Meep! Meep! His acceleration was ridiculous.

[@papalegba6796]

That 2003 England rugby union team was so much better than the current one it hurts.

[@martincox7354]

I would love to have watched this. But the inappropriate music (?) stopped me. I could have muted but then missed any commentary. Why would you ruin this with any kind of music anyway?

[@lukedudley5030]

He can side step you in a phone box :-)

[@interestedbystander196]

He makes my all time XV. I'll have him on the bench to cover fullback and wing. My starting FB is Serge Blanco. My starting wings are Bryan Habana and (perhaps controversially) Doug Howlett.

[@charlesevans2701]

Erm no, he was better than either, he created his own chances.

[@interestedbystander196]

@@charlesevans2701 Well, we disagree on that. Habana has both the all time tier 1 international try scoring record, and the RWC try scoring record. This while playing for a team not really set up for back play. As for Howlett, he was a better finisher than both Robinson and Jonah. Far more tries too. Record try scorer for the ABs. No, I'm happy with my picks. If not Robinson on the bench to cover back three, then I'd have the amazing Christian Cullen in that bench spot. It's a toss up between Robinson and Cullen.

[@charlesevans2701]

@@interestedbystander196 Jason could score from a standing start from inside his own half, as in this video, and he did it time and time again. Those mentioned didn't, they were all standard Union wingers of the highest quality.

[@papalegba6796]

No Robinson is a starter for sure anywhere in the back line. When he was up & coming as a kid in Leeds everybody knew about him, superstar in the making, then Wigan poached him. Remember his best years were in league, he went to union late on & still tore it up.

[@papalegba6796]

@@charlesevans2701 Can't describe how good he was. I played for Leeds rugby league juniors, not good enough to go pro but kept in touch with those who were & they all raved about this kid when he turned up for trials, said he was like Ellery Hanley but with better hands. I checked him out playing for Hunslet & he was something else, had everything. Leeds lost him through arrogance, they wanted him to come train with them same day as Hunslet had an important game so he said no & Leeds blanked him. Wigan swooped in & the rest is history. Leeds did similar with Hanley, he got sent to borstal & Leeds blanked him, but Wigan met him at the gates with a limousine when he got out & offered him a contract if he stayed straight. Again the rest is history. Leeds were terrible for messing up talent, especially from the West Indian community, they had a guy called Norman Francis who was like a pocket Mal Meninga, I played with him from when he was a kid, he was better than Martin Offiah for sure, just as fast but with a better side-step & hand-off, so hard to tackle. They ruined him too by ignoring his injuries & treating him like a donkey.

[@finallyhere3769]

Billy Whizz in full flow is still the one of the greatest sights in world rugby - in either code

[@punjabipost12321]

He is coming to my school not lying i am serious

[@samuelhonywill4499]

Will always love the try he scored in the WC final but man if Jonny had looked to his right Ben Cohen had a run in under the posts 😂 Jonny wouldn't have missed such an easy conversion and there'd have been no need for extra time!

[@ii_cloudzx5027]

That’s my second cousin haha

[@FrankyForster-du8rk]

Its Hard to believe that he had lost ,a Yard of pace when he Left THE MIGHTY WIGAN RLFC to join Union ,Even so He is still the only player ever to Defy Physics, Being able to leave his Shadow Behind 😉😆😁!!! enough said!!!!!

[@themackayfamily2015]

Would love to see a 100m sprint between Jason Robinson, Bryan Habana and Doug Howlett.

[@samwiselemon6420]

In their primes it'd be close between Dougy and Habana but Robinson would be left behind a little... he's super fast in the 1-30m range though

[@Stowerslemalu]

Over the first 25m I've got Jason, but after that he would get left behind by both.

[@humphrey4976]

Had the best step in the game

[@cmdrravenwulff5272]

Never the flash, Billy Whizz. Those Union tries aren't a patch on half the ones he scored in rugby league. If you're going to do career highlights, at least include his best work. Also, that music is horrific

[@GeGeLimited]

he didnt have legs, he had machine guns.
