The runner was getting ahead of him. If he'd passed it flat it would have gone behind him.

Welp. Hard to begrudge BOD a send off win, but god drat it was painful relying on that France team. I thought England's play over the tournament would've deserved a win if Ireland hadn't got across the line, but Ireland going to the Stade de France and winning was easily the performance of the tournament.

Weird to think of a Six Nations without O'Driscoll. I think Marco Bergamasco is the only other player to have been around since the beginning.

So uhh the waratahs got absolutely smothered by the brumbies. Score line ended up pretty good after a late surge but it wasn't enough. There's something about that stadium that just guarantees the brumbies will win

Scotland looked directionless this year because Johnson had just given up and didn't give a poo poo, as shown by his total lack of desire to pull a forward off in place of putting Cuthbert at fullback when Hogg got sent off. Scotland are still nowhere near Ireland, Wales or England but there are more than a few good players in the squad and a good coach can get much more out of them than Johnson ever did.

Tyma posted:11. Jonny May Seriously? They pick the one member of the England back line who didn't score a try and who probably covered more distance sideways than forwards? What did May do all tournament? My evaluation of the England backs was that they're definitely getting there but that strong performances at 9, 10, 13 and 15 were flattering the other three.

My evaluation of the England backs was that they're definitely getting there but that strong performances at 9, 10, 13 and 15 were flattering the other three. It's an weighted algorhythm based on the stats that are tracked during the match and sent to the coaching teams. It essentially boils down to which 15 players contributed the most, while loving up the least. Unfortunately, the raw stats aren't released to the public, or we'd be able to make some awesome graphs :{

I can't see Borell getting in ahead of D'Arcy or O'Driscoll, but he was clearly much more impressive than any of the non-Mike Brown English backs. Also vaguely surprised that neither of our locks made it ahead of AWJ.
