Sexton? I have never quite seen the greatness through my black lens.Men's Sevens player of the decade was an interesting one to pick, as was try of the decade.
Do you choose the try based on skills displayed or the context of how important it was/the opposition?
I ended up going for TJP against Namibia for the shear audacity and skills displayed.
Wouldn't just take Dan Carter ahead of Jonny Sexton, but would take Beauden Barrett and Aaron Cruden too. Probably he's a better player than Stephen Donald or Colin Slade to be fair.

Colin Slade played in a successful World Cup quarter final
Beaver made crucial plays in a world cup final
things J sexton will never do

things J sexton will never doRWC2011 Final. Penalty to NZ. Game in the balance. Beaver comes on, shirt too small, memories of previous failures and how he'd go in our collective minds. The Duck's first words on the field are "Give me the fucking ball".
One of the great moments in NZ Rugby. Legend.

But Sexton wins the "Most Punchable Face Award" hands down.

"In a scathing attack, Campese told Stuff that the ‘arrogance’ of New Zealand Rugby had set the All Blacks up for a fall, and that new coach Ian Foster wasn’t the right man for the job."
He might be right about that last bit.....

Campese should have some inside insight in noticing arrogance but for him to think Foster is not right for the job? Really? Has he not seen the man in interviews? Foster is always transparent about being better for the next game. A coach with fantastic hindsight. He sometimes even learns from disasterous positional switches. Possibly.

Interesting quote from Kellaway given the Wallabies are 1-0 down in a 3 match series they have to win outright.

If they win they will be lauded. If they lose it will be the same as usual.
No expectations. -

Thanks Andrew
Yeah. It's kind of counter intuitive as well.
"We don't expect to win because you have this Aura, which we deny, but WTF we'll go out and have a crack. Nothing to lose ay?".
If we don't have Aura surely you back yourself, or even expect, to win? I don't get it.

Is it that hard to understand? He's making two points.

Nobody expects us to win, so we have nothing to lose.

The new players have never played the ABs before, and they hold a certain mystique in the minds of new opponents (an 'aura', if you will). But now he's played them, he realises they are flesh and blood like the rest of us, and if you tackle them they fall down! Funny that. Now they aren't so scary anymore.
