| In Sheffield, we had three centre forwards, two of whom, whilst being kick arse players, were perhaps the slowest swimmers in the known universe. So I think it was against south africa, we lost a bunch of strikes by a fair way until Hamish got in, and we got a goal off the strike, straight up the guts. The commentator was convinced that it was a planned move, to lull the opposition into a false sense of security with pretend slowness and give them three easy goals, then BAM... just when they least expect it to bust out a spear play. |
