Greetings from the land of the RWC 1995 winners (South Africa). Since then. we seemed to have lost quite a few plots (and the ability to play rugby).
I's just like to state that, IMHO, this Jonny dude is EXTREMELY overrated.....he seems to be some sort of demigod there up north.......someone please explain to me why he's so much better than:
Rob Andrew
Andrew Mehrtens
Joel Stransky
Michael Lynagh
Phill Bennett
etc
etc
The reason that this guy shines is that he has a MAGNIFICENT set of forwards to lay a solid platform....as well as an extremely canny scrumhalf........I loved that dummy & dash just before THE drop kick....
BTW, Mike Catt was at the same school that I was (Grey High, Port Elizabeth)...I remember watching him play schools rugby (at full back)...he was darn good then as well......
I played in a few orchestras with his mother many years ago....very good flautist/music teacher....she trued her best to get the boys to give up rugby (too rough) and now look what's 'appened!
