*Sinckler throws basic pass* Sky sports - "use that because hes English"

[@eriksaxton3817]

Hundred percent agree with you.

Evan Burke 😂😂😂

[@conorh4882]

Yep

[@jacquie212]

It was a great pass... Perfectly timed. Bur guess a good pass counts as flair in England.

[@312soldier4]

I know right😂😂

[@glassbottle96]

English media is honestly a joke with rugby. From commentators to highlights. Every pass in this is a screamer but the two English passes are just normal haha

[@thj6293]

Ikr but tbh they are still really hard to pull off

[@taz8326]

No they're not hard to pull off. They're both just pop passes, one in a tackle 😂

The England pass should not be on the same video as Cooper, SBW, and the Fijian boys etc. Some of these passes were just basic. Mataele's pass left the Hurricanes stunned.

[@Scriv17]

Technically the Flutey Lions offload is an English pass as well. Not sure about Sincklers but Scarratts offload is as standard as SBWs offloads.

[@npd6225]

“Flair” should never be associated with English rugby.

[@cillianadamson5901]

Brian O'Driscoll literally passed to himself but you decided to put in a clip of Kyle Sinclair popping one.

Or the one through the legs? Or any of the around the back ones???

[@business3867]

@@SusanPDavis piss off Susan

[@davidkeane2399]

@Cillian Right ? I mean for feck's sake, most of these are fairly straight forward offloads round the back (all the NZ ones, because that's how they're f**kin taught to play rugby) or speculative chances that miraculously come off. And Kyle Sinclair can get fecked. He's an over-rated thug like Courtney Laws. How is a prop being able to pass the ball quickly over 3 feet of space a miracle ?

[@charliered105]

Please delete the regular Synckler and Reed 🙈

[@jamietaylorjamietaylorjam]

Got to love Sky Sports they put in two basic passes from England and they are both forward passes 😂😂😂😂

I'm surprised that outstanding Sinckler pass didn't make to the thumbnail 😂

[@karlclifford1176]

I remember being at my local pub with my dad for all three lions test in 2009. We were gutted, especially after that second test. We went absolutely crazy because of Fluteys offload and started jumping up and down hugging. Great memories.

[@mickser101]

Kyle Sinkler's pass, my god it was nothing at all. Lamaison to Garbajosa, Fra v Wal 1998 Wembley. Magic

[@saintrokko]

Southern Hemisphere teams are a bit more creative and play towards that

[@donalgeaney626]

Where are Brian O’Driscoll’s passes for Leinster and Ireland he had several passes that would make this list ????? Check out: Brian O’Driscoll making the impossible look easy.

[@kurtsudheim825]

For it was leyds & mateale (&coppers 1 not seen here), but that's up there; he switched hands to make it easier, but I presume that's his weaker hand sooo (plus the pace)

@@varaneszn7176 you don't have to be an anglophobe to realize that them passes were standard prop pop ups and should never be included in the best flair passes in rugby union video. Brian O'Driscoll did some crazy stuff with the ball and isn't mentioned.

I mean it was a good pass but have to admit that wasn't flair rugby

[@weeneeps]

I advise everyone to look up the final of the hong kong 7s from 1990. Fijians throwing a one handed spin pass to overhead to though the legs, Classic.

[@mrmoley64]

As if Dillan Leyns pass is on the same level as Kyle Sinkler's, according to Sky, my god😂

[@pauljansen6650]

That pass from Dylan though...the universe aligned perfectly

[@harrycowleshc]

Yeah agree woth everyone else although they are perfectly nice passes by Sinkler amd Reed i dont think anyone who watches rugby regularly would say "Wow wow wow ive seen something special there". Unlike the rest of them which are pretty special.

Finn russells pass vs England 2017 and priestlands against Ireland 2012 and chiefs 2016

[@inganjikelana2561]

Southern hemisphere rugby at its best. However, not too sure why Sinckler features on this video.🤣

[@macgregorsbars3111]

Townsend flip in 99, fin Russell vs Ireland and England deserve to be in there. Some pretty big standard ones thrown in to fill your reel!
