It’s possibly a bit random for this time of the season, but a RD user sent this amusing video in so I figured I’d post it for a laugh ahead of the weekend. /spanbr /br /Despite being one of the best number tens in world rugby for many years, the Munster man has at times been somewhat of a liability in his defensive channel. Players and coaches know they can target him and the majority of the time, get over the gain line or at least provide an offload.br /br /Ironically it’s perhaps somewhat of a testament to the courage of the man that he has, as the song says, got up again after all the big knocks, including the unfortunate role he played in the Lions series last year.br /br /Whether it’s Pierre Spies or Jamie Heaslip, Jaque Fourie or even Shane Williams, they’ve all had a go at him, knocked him down, and he’s got back up. He was in fact recently named as the best European player of the last 15 years.br /br /So while this clip is definitely having a go at his poor tackling and shows the big knocks he’s taken, there’s the underlying message that to be the best you’ve got to take the knocks, get back up, and do it all over again.br /br /The song is going to be in your head for the next few hours. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.br /br /centerobject height="288" width="400"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MkS5a3RsXREamp;hl=en_USamp;fs=1?rel=0"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MkS5a3RsXREamp;hl=en_USamp;fs=1?rel=0amp;showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="288" width="400"/embed/object/centerspan style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"/span/spanspan style="font-size:85%;"span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"_____________________________________________________________________________________________/span/spanbr /span style="font-size:85%;"span style="font-weight: bold;"span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"This post was sponsored by:/span a href="http://adserver.adtech.de/?adlink%7C327%7C2789643%7C0%7C1%7CAdId=5384366;BnId=2;itime=911153037;sub1=[subst];" target="_blank"BT/a/span/spanbr /a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adserver.adtech.de/?adlink%7C327%7C2789643%7C0%7C1%7CAdId=5384366;BnId=2;itime=910742236;sub1=[subst];" target="_blank"img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 468px; height: 60px;" src="http://aka-cdn-ns.adtech.de/images/174/Ad5384366St1Sz1Sq4576022V3Id2.gif" alt="" border="0" //aspan style="font-size:85%;"span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"Pre-order Sky Sports 1 amp; Sky Sports 2 from £6.99 a month and pay nothing until 1st August!/spanbr //spanspan style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"a href="http://adserver.adtech.de/?adlink%7C327%7C2789643%7C0%7C1%7CAdId=5384366;BnId=2;itime=911153037;sub1=[subst];" target="_blank"Click here/a to find out more details about this great offer/span/span/span/spana onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adserver.adtech.de/?adlink%7C327%7C2789643%7C0%7C1%7CAdId=5384366;BnId=2;itime=910742236;sub1=[subst];" target="_blank".br //adiv class="blogger-post-footer"http://www.rugbydump.comimg width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32316390-2450853603637378486?l=rugbydump.blogspot.com' alt='' //divdiv class="feedflare"a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?a=W3Lf2jl1tL0:PQsbZzz5UEc:yIl2AUoC8zA"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rugbydump?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/img/a/divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rugbydump/~4/W3Lf2jl1tL0" height="1" width="1"/ More...
