George Gregan Plays 120th Rugby Union Test


Credit where its due:
Leadership, presence, confidence, success, defence, composure, organisation...
George has made almost every post a winner in a highly successful international rugby career!!
All this despite a less than perfect pass, a stutter after picking the ball up, a tendency to step back from the ruck before passing and therefore putting pressure on his outside players... and very few attacking snipes of his own [especially since Owen Finegan left the national team]!

The team is more composed when he's in charge, they choose less crazy options but still not always the right ones... its a conundrum but at least the change of coach has meant an excuse to rotate potential successors in and out of game time in coming matches all in the lead up to World Cup 2007 in France!!
