[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 930408, member: 56738"] So I can kinda see where your coming from on the... and I’m paraphrasing “... we came out in the second half and showed what we’re about...” part but on the whole I would put this down to a guy who made a massive and costly mistake defensively during the first half (within a bigger mistake ridden team performance), who probably got roasted during an anxious half time, when all those thoughts about championships and grand slams (you know the thoughts no one is allowed to have but most people do) were basically up in smoke... then during the second half, not only does his team win (a rare W on the road to get the wagon up and running again) he scored two of the tries to help that happen. Yes his first try was a massive gift from Huget... and yes France threw 3 outrageously stupid passes prior to George’s interception but kudos to his anticipation and right hand to get it done. I’m quite surprised after the bi-polar odyssey he had just been on, he wasn’t a bit more excited actually. If your a fan of pragmatism (which is more my cup of tea too if I’m honest), Alan Wyn Jones is your man... his post-match was far more realistic in his assessment. [/QUOTE]
