His break down the left wing outflanking the Fiji defense was a game winner. This guy has some gas. And then he puts it away  when his team mates couldn’t  A deserved reward for a man who played the RWC with an injured jaw. The greatest player in the game?


Nice for the French after the WC disappointment.

Undoubtedly.

He is incredible.

I’ve kinda worked it out. Tell me if you agree.

So he has all the attributes of a good scrumhalf. And he’s strong for his diminutive size.

But… his mind works faster than the rest. He catches opposition off guard all the time.

In my mind, only the great Jock Lawrie comes close.

Yeah agree, his rugby brain is one step ahead of everyone’s

An athlete, who punches above but it’s the mind that sets him apart

His ability to direct and dictate the passage of play is unrivalled

The ultimate rugby creator

Well clearly it's a case of good luck finding highlights. Nothing on Youtube, all the overseas sites (even the Olympics website) gives you the nice little "not available in your region" message if you try to watch their highlights. What an inclusive event.
