[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1118168, member: 45598"] Dominguez won 4 French Championships, Parisse won two. Russell has a single URC, never won 4 games in a 6n or a Top 14/Heineken Cup in perfectly capable sides playing in the most influential position on the pitch. Paolo Garbisi has won more than him. He's perfectly comfortable playing at international level and he's up to the standard, I won't deny that. But part of what makes a world class player, particularly a 10, is a winning mentality, I've never once been convinced he has that. Edit: Just on that last paragraph, I don't think it's a criticism of the man, he clearly has a lot of fun playing rugby and I reckon he enjoys it and treats it less like a job than Johnny Sexton for example. Tiger Woods and Rory Mcilroy have similar levels of God given talent, Tiger was obsessive, and Rory wanted balance in his life. Rory seems the far happier person and I reckon Russell, like that, is doing what's best for him. [/QUOTE]
