That's right. Yes IRB player of the year and I don't think his all round
game is as good as people make out. Unarguably he is a match winner simply
due to his kicking game. He certainly isn't a line breaker such as Carlos
Spencer or Larkham. If you rate him with previous world cup players of the
tournament I'd say he is the poorest of the lot.

That's my opinion you may not agree. He certainly isn't up there with
individual efforts in the tournament such as Lomu or Campese and I'd have to
say that Horan also had a better all round individual effort also.
