Love how the music is refuse to be denied by anthrax and Warburton himself talks about it in his book.. brilliant stuff

Anyone who says Warburton was overrated needs to go have a look at themselves, then go watch Squidge Rugby's video on "So How Good Was Sam Warburton". A great captain, a perfect fit for the Gatland era and we could have done with him in Japan on the pitch.

[@thecoderofyoutube]

@995sean He's not but hey ho.

[@thecoderofyoutube]

We could have won that World Cup with him seeing how close that semi was against S.A...

[@deanjones5545]

@995sean have you ever watched any of his analysis videos? I mean, he can't be that bad since Rassie Erasmus even tweeted to say he knew his stuff.

[@DRM1891]

100% correct. Amazing player and leader in his performances. We are lucky in Wales to be somewhat blessed with talented 7’a, but in my view none are quite on his level. Especially breakdown play. He was a master. Understood it so well.

[@reubenmillward2783]

From an English fan , one of the best 7s to have played in the pro era

[@apgwilym]

When you notch up steals against the Boks you are something special.

[@offwithhishead2556]

He was such a fine player, always 100% Must have been a total pain in the arse to play against, mind!

[@wilsonblunt1305]

Class player. Was hard done by in 2011 RWC Semi-Final, that was Wales's year.

[@zizotoro]

He was blessed with a very rare combination of brute strength and delicate athleticism . The best ever No. 7 in my eyes.

[@henrymabey2544]

Honesly one of the best players the world has seen!!!

[@eltdestructor5514]

Sad he retired but the title is very accurate!

[@parsmad]

Bumped into him at a hotel in Newcastle while on a stag do. Really nice guy who was happy to take photos with my mates and I and sign an autograph or too. Cracking player and a fantastic ambassador for the game.

[@jaj15]

Loved the tribute you made 2 years ago

[@TheXCHeZ]

Casual rugby viewers will never appreciate how hard the forwards work, and what they put their bodies through.

[@Josh-dq1hy]

Would kill to watch Full Contact again , that documentary was amazing

[@alfiethomas00]

Can you do the same video but for Pocock lad, great videos

[@tommocato2457]

Any English fan or commentator can pipe down about Warburton, he was one of the greatest players in the world and a welsh hero

[@darraghtormey1500]

A true Welsh rugby titan. Respect from Ireland.

[@codydwyer]

Pocock breakdown master next ? Please

[@mckay1402]

My favourite player and a lovely man. Was gutted when he retired

[@thecoderofyoutube]

Having had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, I can confirm. Really nice guy.

[@jonnybaynham1689]

Warburton and SOB were an immense pairing for the Lions. Warburton with the breakdown nous, steals, and work. SOB with the farmer's strength, carrying, and support work. Not sure they lost a Lions game when playing together

[@dtxgaming5901]

I'm glad that he will be apart of the coaching team for wales. No one will be better than him but we certainly will see alot more people doing what he did best for wales

[@Rhys78686]

Best open side the UK has ever produced. Up there with Dusautoir for the best from the Northern Hemisphere. The fact he kept Tipuric out the starting team for years just proves that. Criminally underrated. Look at the difference he made on the 2017 tour in that second test. Also people comparing him to pocock and hooper. You do realise pocock and hooper had fardy to do all the hard work to enable pocock and hooper to get the turnovers. Fardy was probably the best 6 of the last 10 years and Australia haven’t been close to the same team without him. As good as Lydiate was he was injured a lot and struggled to have the same effect as fardy.

[@Jonesyb90]

He was just incredible, a phenomenal footballer and a huge loss when he retired.

[@svresh]

We've really been missing a breakdown artist like Sam in recent years

Probably the best ever at turn over ball and competing in rucks. He knew when to go for it and when to wait.

Great tackler 💪 Was surprised at his send off in WC semi final...

This is the most smart and strongest tackler I ever seen

In my opinion he was a much better captain than AWJ

Let’s be careful what we say now alun wyn is a legend but Sam was a brilliant captain too

[@jameslefley]

@@danhadley4242 I stated that it was my opinion. AWJ captains Wales well but whether it is objectively right or wrong, I THINK Warburton was better.

Warburton doesn’t get the credit he deserves, well rounded loosie and is capable of covering all 3 positions, he’s definitely up there with the McCaw’s, Pococks and the hoopers.

A class of his own. But way behind this list of all-time #7 : McCaw, George Smith, Pockock, Schalk Burger, and so on... Even Dussatoir n Magne😂

[@paulgormley6408]

In my opinion quite overrated! I do concede at the end of the day when he puts his medals on the table with Wales and 2 lions tours as captain he can justifiably state he was up there however as a leader he is not in the Johnson/ O' Connell bracket. In terms of ball carrying as a back rower he isn't in the Sean O Brien league or ball handling like a Martin Williams or a Justin Tiperic and even his best area of expertise, the jackel position, poaching ball, he had 2/3 years at a high level I in Europe but still nowhere near mcCaw or Pocock's level. Injuries played a part of course but wouldnt go down as an all time great in my opinion. Similar conversation in relation to Alun Wyn Jones in fairness. Just because he is the best Welsh lock when compared to Luke Charteris and Bradley Davies doesnt mean be should be mentioned in the same breath as Ali Williams, Brad Thorn, Martin Johnson, John Eales, Brody Retalick, Matfield or any of the English Locks at present. Will always be the aldi version of Paul O' Connell! Two great servants. Two good players. And their medal tallies and amount t of caps puts them in the conversation but nothing to make them all time world beaters I'm afraid.

[@scottjones3297]

Oh mate, you've spouted some shit here fair play. Warburton captained the Lions to a series win and a series draw over Australia and New Zealand respectively. The only winning series O'Connell was part of was when he wasn't captain and Warburton was. There's not a damn thing O'Connell has won as an international captain that both Warburton and Alun Wyn haven't. Martin Johnson deserves plenty of plaudits but if you're going to say Alun Wyn is overrated then by the same criteria so is Johnson. Bit embarrassed that you've even mentioned the current crop of English locks. None of them are fit to lace Alun Wyn's boots and won't come close to what he's achieved in the game

[@edwardtandy9613]

Has to be, absolutely! Has to still be bitter no matter what Overrated. 😂😂😂😂.. We just watched multiple replays of him turning over some of the best players in the world (I lost count of how many were English). You guys are funny, pathetic, and funny.
