[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 667043, member: 57076"] Dunno why Mccaw couldn't squeeze in a word for Ireland or whoever, but it's not "arrogance" if he doesn't anyways, it's just tough to admit the quality of the opposition seconds after the match sometimes, but I've seen him pay tribute to teams and players. As far as his personality and what I could extract from written or filmed interviews, he's always tongue-in-cheek, screws around, always has a little smile on his face and seems to prefer very short answers with little detail, as if not wanting to spend too much time on topics. He's not a shy person, but does seem rather quite secretive. It goes hand in hand with his game, as far as I'm concerned: without being negative, that is *sneaky*. He looks to me like this guy who sort of knows there's a bit of crap on his name, understands what everybody thinks of him, but won't lose hair over it either and would rather take all things lightly. Just one example, once, some old English lady (or kid, can't remember) gave him an England shirt as a gift, and he gave it back saying "sorry, not my size". Very elusive, and quite indirect. [/QUOTE]
