James O'Connor 2011 Super Rugby campaign

[François]

Hi all,

I had a bit of free time recently and decided to make a summary of JOC (James O'Connor)'s season, whom I'm a big fan of. I had all the material already because living in France where they broadcast only 2 games of S15 per week (and mostly the Crusaders anyway).. I just thought I'd put it together, with minimal effects.

Beware, it's not just linebreaks and tries, as I also included some halfbreaks, and some of the bits and pieces he tried but didn't necessarily worked out perfect.. It makes for an more honest rendition (at least I hope so^^), and goes to show that although he didn't always pull it off, he was trying constantly.

It's my first attempt at making a video, let alone a rugby highlight, so keep that in mind : )

The last part was probably uncalled for but since he joked about it himself on his twitter, I thought : what the hell !

I hope you'll enjoy it

Cheers

François

Am sure I can speak for the others here, welcome to the forum and we look forward to more contributions from the likes of you especially given the fact that such contributions are of an international flavour/perspective....

Not gonna lie that is a pretty amazing effort Francois.

I know how long those things take so well played sir

 

[Blue]

Well done, but you forgot to show him on his phone, tweeting. Hence a very incomplete account of his year

 

[DPK]

Very, very good video. Thanks Francois.

Yikes, O'Connor kicks a lot.

 

[Scott Allen]

Very good - really enjoyed that. Thanks for the massive effort.

Top Vid well done!
Man the kid is solid in contact! Attack and defense he is immense!

 

[Brumby Jack]

What were the KPI's you adhered to to use those specific pieces of vision?

 

[barbarian]

Awesome. Great song choices as well.

Francois, thanks for the vid and welcome. As disappointed as I am to see him go to the Rebels, there is no denying that he is prodigiously talented and could be an absolute superstar for the Wallabies this year. Two things stand out for me: how quick he is acceleration wise (he's very good in traffic) and how strong as well. For a little bloke he is very strong in contact and never shirks the tough stuff in defence.

Welcome François and great first up effort.

Would you mind if we featured this on our front page?

 

[François]

No I'd be honored, Moses. Thanks guys for the nice responses !

I know it's been said already, but welcome to the forum and the inside running for debut post of the year. Fantastic effort, Francois. You've set the bar very high for yourself to follow that up!!

 

[François]

Thanks a lot for the feedback and welcome messages guys ! I look forward to contributing more, perhaps with other videos.

Cheers !
