He says that Joseph didn't use any skill in scoring his try against Wales (he did): there was no quick feet (there was), no hand-off (there was) and no dummy (there was). The picture for the piece shows Joseph handing off Jonathan Davies. So his whole point, that the team that is best at bashing away wins is redundant, since it took a piece of magic to decide the contest. He also claimed that there was no skill in Wales' try. I never saw Paul Ackford play, perhaps someone else can tell me how many times he picked up the ball from inside a creaking scrum, handed off a players and timed an offload perfectly to the overlapping scrum half?</p></blockquote><p></p>
