[QUOTE="madflyhalf, post: 341082, member: 41162"] IMO, it's normal at this stage (of the season and of this player), to have "only" 60-65 minutes on your legs in these kind of games! But in those 65 minutes, you must give everything you have, without looking at your team's performance... just heart and balls (sorry)! This time, he stayed on the pitch for the first 40 minutes, playing a poor rugby! And we obviously know he is a great player, capable of amazing things, from the first to the 80th minute of a match! I remember 2009 T-N decider between NZ and SA. NZ had a penalty just on the Boks' 22m line, instead to go for goal, they chose a scrum and... John Smit and Springboks' tight-five trashed NZ, avoiding their chance to come back earlier in the game. I remember I thought [I]"Ok, they've won it!"[/I] That's John Smit, but I never saw him playing like that anymore, since then! [/QUOTE]
