Paul O'Connell - Manic Aggression

Ireland France Rugby Six Nations 2007, pre-game dressing room footage. Paul O'Connell (Lions Captain) puts the fear of God into his team mates

[@Steph12Hd]

16 years later to the day, Ireland beat France in dublin with Paulie on the coaching staff. Legend

[@robbc430]

I'm English and I rate this guy as one of the greatest locks of all time.

[@robbc430]

Just proving the English can appreciate non English talent...Irish by any chance?

[@robmd7741]

[@ultimatewarrior1612]

I listen to this before dialling into an afternoon of Teams calls in 2023

[@shagmydog]

I would follow O Connell into battle

[@Smithy07sham]

So would I

[@krackowkid6618]

Off with ya. Close the door behind ya when following him !

[@themoravianeagle3215]

Me too!

[@fazer990]

Paul O'Connell hould have been Lions captain in 2013 in my opinion. As a Welshman, I like Sam Warburton, he's a very good player but I just don't see him as a captain. I want Alun Wyn Jones as Welsh captain. He could really live up to be a similar calibre lock as O'Connell was.

[@NB-xq4qt]

I'm Scottish but he was one of the greatest!!!!

[@HarrySharry18]

I would follow this man to the gates of hell

[@squakrock]

Harris Sharif without hesitation

[@like2surf]

Every Irish rugby fan has thought this for the last three years. Our provinces play excellent running rugby, some of the best in Europe(if not the best). But now we have Joe Schmidt at the helm, the mastermind behind Leinster's playing style, I can't wait to see what he does with Ireland.

[@tomfoley5837]

Built the foundations

[@thegame6929]

Feel like i wanna punch walls after listening to Paulie! Legend!!!!

[@boondocksaints2011]

[@rugbyballs25]

Can't wait for the welsh!!!! the boys are gonna do us proud come saturday we have the players the fitness the stamina and most of importantly the pride and passion to do it this year!!!!!!! CMON THE BHOYS!!!!!!

[@jimmymaradona]

[@LilMissP1992]

Dude, u rock, and so does Paul O'Connell

[@c02615223]

Eddie O'Sullivan doing his best Michael Scott impression

[@deeno1975]

Unbelieveable scenes!!!

[@PaulTraces]

I just punched my phone screen, good man Paulie👍

[@MilenkoDJ]

Im Welsh and hope its a triple crown, grandslam decider last game against the irish. What an atmosphere it would be. O'connell what a playerand an amazing leader.

[@otumoetaipat]

I want to show this to the team I coach. Best wait a few years (they're 9). haha. The way Paul speaks, and the body language of everyone in the room..... if you've put your body on the line for your mates, you know how they were feeling at that moment.

[@Irish780]

@711holden. Cheers friend. I WAS THERE. Fantastic. Awsome. .what a 30yr commemoration. Almost done it again lol. Yep we love the blacks here. And the look on there faces as the walked off the field. Shaking ther heads and smiling was priceless. . Great guys. And great game.

[@niallio77]

brilliant superb amazing outstanding win vs England at the weekend - shame we screwed up against Wales..

[@AlbinoW08]

Eddie defo put on that for the cameras:)!as for Paulie,defo should be the new Irish and Lions captain!

[@Paulfieldz]

Can you imagine the atmosphere in the dressing rooms from Ire V eng in Croke Park man Id say they were pysched up - 15 warriors running into battle which is exactly what happened!!!

[@thedarkhugheshughes2640]

Legend

[@byrneseany]

O' Connell is a born leader both on and off the pitch.When he talks people listen.He will be a great Lions captain.

[@like2surf]

Congrats to the new Lions Captain.

[@mkwapower]

Paul O Connel is awesome. I am scared for the Boks.. Come on Boks..

[@thomasoconnell3350]

Eddie O'Sullivan what a legend. Treated harshly

[@johnpaul25x]

Excatly man!South Africa may have won the WC but a lots changed since then,the Lions with the likes of O driscoll have more than enough Quality in the Squad to Win!

[@skateerssuck]

i love him he is sooo cool

[@AlbinoW08]

Next Ireland captain please Decco,Ireland needs the Munster passion and intensity...in fact so do the Lions!

[@mlgbantz9517]

Legendary

[@mrgod06]

Paul o' Connell can piss his name in concrete

[@scoonez]

he should be lions captain legend

[@paddyestrella]

Well done Paul O'Connell becoming Six Nations Captain 2012

[@UlyssesRyan-n1i]

Best Irish captain ever

[@Tehui1974]

The art of talking yourself up before a match...

[@mjribes]

The difference is that those missed tries were due to a Bok ripping the ball away. And we also missed kicks in the 1st test. So that doesn't hold water. And you can take the fact that the Lions outscored the Boks and put that in your trophy cupboard if you will. We're happy with the real silverware.

[@lmfaomatty]

@fancythathat No actually he's the best Irish lock ever and one of the best locks in the world.

[@wexfordboyful]

the greatest warrior in the history of the sport !

[@rneoman]

Lawrence dallaglio had that same effect on teammates

[@Shredderific]

On certain channels (satellite) we get unedited material. But yea I guess we stay up later in the US b/c we don't have unclean TV even on the late night channels until after midnight...

[@LibertyBhoy]

@dadubs93 Sexton is a great leader. He practically won the Heinken Cup. Didn't he score all of our points? I forgot about Johnny. Good call man, he will be a great leader one day.

[@username9175]

Funny to see a comment from so long ago about how Johnny will be a great leader one day. He's exceeded expectations

[@HoGazm]

This was a lot more tame than the paper i read described it as..

[@Tehui1974]

Speeches like this are more for the guy saying it, than his team mates.

[@LibertyBhoy]

I don't think anyone will ever be able to fill O'Connell's boots when he retires....

[@JamieeeG]

"Did you scare anyone? Did you fucking put the fear of God into anyone" if they weren't up for the game before that they definitely were after!! True leader

[@Reaman98299]

Inspirational...

[@Splotched]

Thats a damn good team.

[@stevoflats]

I'm not disputing that we needed the change. Eddie had brought these lads as far as he could and things went stale. It was past time for a change and Kidney is a genius to have produced such a transformation in a short space of time. I still believe that O' Sullivan played a more important role in developing this team than Gatland did. Yes they were terrible in the last World cup but don't forget the utter shite that was played under Gatland when we lost to Argentina in Lens in the '99 World Cup

[@XXdinahxox]

Paul is my hero. That is all.

[@Irish780]

@jimmy spriggs. 100.000 irishmen died in both world wars fighting germany. So show respect to them and their familys. Not everything is plain black n white.

[@muiris]

Brian O'Rourke loves rugby.

[@brrrrr12]

haha gotta love paul, what a hero

[@citeog3]

I hear Superman sold his Chuck Norris underpants .He bought a pair of Paul O'Connell ones instead.

[@topcatskk]

Agree 100% with riccarco conway's comments - This video is about RUGBY and the legend Paul O'Connell nothing else......! Stop all the crap talk about our past history, its done its over - I'm proud to be Irish - Stop living in the past - This is sport NOTHING ELSE......!

[@stabcitySB]

what a fuckin legend........

[@hoggarty]

it's because of Paul O'Connell I play Rugby

[@firepizzachilli]

Ireland is one of the best rugby teams.Think about it we won the grand slam and got into the quater finals of the world cup and won the six nations TWO times!!!

[@foofighterfan15]

FatMucnher i agree that he will be a great leader and a great representative for irish rugby but dont forget B O'D has lead the lions before and the national squad before and has come to victory just look at cardiff this year B O'D is a LEGEND. PAUL O'C is a great player. i would not of minded who the captain was out of those 2 fanatastic players

[@focomo]

A gentle giant, really. Like Dusautoir.

[@Croga15]

because gatland was there during the transition from amateur . He found most of the talent that we have today. And created a fantastic platform for the profeshional irish team. The team showed great possibilities and then that gobshite eddie took over and never looked at other possibilities in key areas. He did an good job. But purely cause of the foundations gatland set down for him

[@Ggavin360]

jus makes me proud to be irish

[@spifflication]

Did we not lose this one? :-(

[@jrockv5]

put the fear of god into em'!!!!! fuckin' ledgend!

[@petey3005]

proud to be irish

[@Delaldo7]

Irish rugby's history

[@ajorngjdonaydbr]

You were saying?

[@aaro123comeso]

Paul O Connell played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won

[@leroyoneill1929]

I was a football player (shit) but i would have loved to had a captain or manager even close to the big man. I know i would have went through a wall for this man. Is i write this i am talking so much shit. lol Less wine Leroy... 😂

[@thetopofthelist]

whats the song at the very start

[@KirikG84]

God Bless these guys! huge respect from Russians!

[@olmecking1]

Cheers to you Mr Reeves.

[@robmil6444]

Rory best still here

[@mjribes]

They were luck that the Boks' kicker was having a bad day - it could have been a 14 point margin in the end. And they beat the South African 2nd team on Saturday. But for the Lions its good that they won. It keeps their win ratio for the last 5 tours above 30% (5 wins from 15 tests).

[@ceolnaghra]

Jase POC with hair lol

[@conleth93]

eddies voice really dosent get you wound up like paul o'connells

[@1984ioc]

@seankinsellasean thats why they made him lions captain was it

[@Raichu234]

GO CONNEL AND IRELAND

[@jamirojim]

Paul O'Connell needs nothing.... He is an animal of a player and in his position the best in the world..SH and NH

[@whattheholf91]

Wales are awesome. The backs for The Lions this year will be 100% Wales.

[@mountnugent1949]

GOD ID BE SCARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@TracyDomenica]

The inner walls of my vagina is wet like a puddle as I listen to this profanity-laced speech of his.

[@like2surf]

They won the last test and were unlucky to loose the second against the World Champions in their own back yard.

[@mountnugent1949]

Yeah he did play well but did ya see the third test he carried like a captain and the best lock mate....

[@princessk839]

We are so Irish GO ON BOYS XX

[@stevoflats]

I never said that Gatland found them, it wa Croga15 that said that.

[@gannonalls1]

brillant....up the irsh

[@like2surf]

It was only the first test and South Africa were lucky to win.

[@mchuntertotalhypnosis7960]

fireeeeee

[@fukinwhurinjasussake]

[@thelongfella555]

[@huskerdo97]

oh i forgot the bloody swiss have no enemies cause they are like water neutral!

[@mapletaple1]

even im afraid... :P

[@Croga15]

At least we got out of the pool. And we only lost by 4 points. Granted argentina were a much stronger side in 2007 than 1999

[@shelbourne14]

wonderwall is such a stadium song

[@donie252]

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@Raichu234]

Irish r legends! go and yell ur accents off!

[@elnumerounobohsman]

[@niallm317]

[@marcher87]

no it's not, its called the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland... britain refers to the island upon which wales england and scotland is found, northern ireland is, geographically speaking anyways, part of Ireland.
