He gives you so much more than just your average prop and, at 24, he is ready to lead Ireland for the next decade.
If his tackling is one thing and a mighty thing, his ball-carrying is on another level again - just ask Brodie Retallick and Kieran Read.
The All Blacks pair had fine games themselves but when you leave yourself open to Tadhg Furlong's right arm, you're only asking for trouble. When you stand in his way, you have no-one else to blame but yourself.
During the first half, as Ireland trailed New Zealand from early on and were being kept at bay in their advances, Furlong took the fight to the black jerseys and it was devastating.
Retallick tried to stop him and one of the best locks in the world was left on his arse.
Read tried to stop him and the considerable number eight was flung straight to the turf like a rag doll.

It was the sort of power and aggression that we're not used to seeing from men - not humans anyway. But it was the sort of fearless play that's so typical of Tadhg Furlong and summed him up in three jaw-dropping evaded evaded tackles.
Relentless. Fearless. Unstoppable.
