What has always amazed me about that try was that Will Greenwood, who probably had less pace than Andy Farrel actually managed to keep up with Jason Robinson.
It is fair to say that there is no way Will kept up with him!! If you watch it carefully, he was ahead, and only just keeps up with Jason as he slows down to try and draw the player!! It then looks like we see the last few seconds on slow motion!!! (rich coming from me I know!!!!)
Will Great podcast, not only was Ieuan’s squirming as obvious as a prop forward trying to mark an inside center but I was able to close my eyes and actually see him struggling like a fly half trapped at the bottom of a ruck. (Of course unless you happen to be an Irish fly half and then you just lie there and get the crap beaten out of you.)
What is it with O’Gara? Does he always curl up like a possum when he gets into trouble? Didn’t he do something similar on the previous Lions tour when he was having the shit beaten out of him? If I was being choked or having the crap pummeled out of me I would at least try and fight back!
Anyway I digress.
Now that we have woken up and discovered that the youngsters can play a bit, how does this leave us in preparation for the World Cup? Have we got time to get the balance right? Do we have enough games to be able to play as a team rather than a bunch of individuals? Will we play Jonny and Flood/Geraghty at center? Will Cory stay at 2nd row? Pick you starting 15 for the cup.
Great Podcast loved the bit about wimpy footballers going down before the tackle so no-one gets injured. Don't I remember you you falling over a divot and having to be carried off? Where you anticipating a tackle?
Welcome to my blog, hopefully a light hearted but at times interesting look at the rugby world! it will also feature my unbelievably interesting life, in connection with the awesome rugby players that I frequently meet!!Please feel free to comment, agree, laugh, throw hard objects at your screen, or probably most commonly just scratch your head ( or any other part of your anatomy) and wonder how the hell did that fat **** ever play for England!! Enjoy!!

Aye, maybe Robinson will get isolated and give us another kickable penalty in the last few minutes(like the last time he came to Cardiff).
I can dream can't I? :'(
