You said he was the poorest of the lot regarding players in this WC, don't
weasel off about compared to other players of the tournament.

Larkham, Campese, Horan, any other Aussies you'd like to throw in their as well?

Hello Sailor?
Kanga, like it or not, Jonny is the real deal, he has a very good all round
game. Look at earlier in the tournament, people were saying he couldn't tackle!
At the moment, he's reckoned to be the best player in the world. Larkham had one
quite good game against the ABs, so you think he's better!
I'd say that his performance this WC rests quite easily with other player of the
tournament awards.
