Player of the 6N is Stuart Hogg

[Saint4805]

True. He really does know how to make the most of that particular angle of attack. Just the skill involved in putting one foot before the other, pushing down and back on the ground and then repeating with the other foot until sufficient momentum is gained to reach the try line, well... Hogg is truly a trend-setter, a game-changer, if you will. I get the feeling a lot of other players in the game will now be trying to copy this particular move. We might see more and more players trying to run in straight lines with pace.

I just wish this guy had invented that move before Hogg got there, he could have used it:

LOL. Surely the most commendable attempt to downplay pace and athleticism as key attributes in a professional sportsperson I have seen on this forum. Hats off Sir.

Something tells me if it was Halfpenny who scored that try at the Aviva or indeed Twickenham you'd be closing the curtains and making a beeline for the Andrex

Halfpenny would've booted the leather off the ball as soon as he caught it.
Every attacking bone in his body has been slowly coached out of him by Gatland et al

Oh absolutely. The whole of Wales would have been kissing his feet and bathing him in molten gold. There would be a statue of him in every Welsh town and village by now, our children and our children's children would forever watch and rewatch that glorious moment on highlight DVDs, every young player from that moment on would hold that attacking move as their ultimate aspiration in the game.

Although some of the valleys would only hear of these great exploits through word of mouth, what with no having television or electricity.

Valley Commando (objectively the most passionate Wales fan of all time) would initiate a petition on Change.org in an attempt to turn the valleys into it's own country, with Halfpenny their glorious king and saviour. He would scour the globe armed only with his laptop and youtube, and show people from all corners of the planet that momentous try in the hope that they would sign the petition and finally see Halfpenny for what he truly is... a god.

Small line between passionate and Deluded then.

I'd even think a petition would be needed to upgrade him to Leigh Penny, a man of such ability should at least be named after something that is still legal tender. Maybe even Leigh Fivequid?

Vunipola wasn't even the best no.8, let alone player of the tournament (same for Toby..I mean Talupe Faletou). As usual, the best no.8 was Parisse.

That's rubbish mate . Billy was the best number 8 closely followed by Faletau . Parisse wasn't even the best Italian player imo
