Another excellent press conference! Mike Catt was one of my favourite players back in the day, hell of a spiral kick on him as well as incredible running and passing abilities; Ireland are fortunate to have him in their coaching team.
Catt was the most dreadful fly half, but even worse they persisted with him at 10 for a long time. Once the penny finally dropped and he was picked at 12 he never looked back. Not only had he found his niche, it changed the team for the better.
@@admiralbenbow5083 Primarily he played at fullback for England and did vey well. Him playing fly half was very much through a difficult transitionary period with Rob Andrew leaving the fold and the search for an incumbent flyhalf, which lets face it, hasn't really ended since Wilkinson retired. Ford, Marcus, Cipriani, Farrell, Billy Twelvetrees at one point. England seem to rip through players, and their confidence suffers as a result. France did a similar thing for a long time; they've since learned, so much so that they now have an ex referee on their coaching ticket. In terms of changing the team for the better...Wilkinson was good but the rugby they played was boring and predictable. Thankfully we've moved on from that era, I think?
…fantastic (‘few nice words from a nice person to another nice person’) Going for one’s instinctive best ‘just like that’ ~ INSTINCTIVELY Bringing LOTS of joie, adding to the equation in ‘the very best way they can’ making for EXCEPTIONAL performance and leadership Thus, the WORLD smiles and rejoices…🍷🍻🔥⁉️👊
