Then See: 2nd Lions Test. Which "highest scorer ever"s efforts granted whom a win? Being literally the only kicker in a country for over a decade doesn't make him a great player. [/b][/quote] The hate you have for that man as a player runs deep within you :D Ok, so you say he is the highest point scorer in 6N history because he has been their only option for the better part of a decade. And what is the reason the flyhalves from other teams never had the opportunity? My guess is your response will be because: - France have 15 new players every game - England had/has flyhalf that's forever injured (and who's gonna live forever BTW) - Scotland can only win when there's a freak of nature storm at Murrayfield and only by 3 points - Wales isn't even a country - And Italy don't even have a flyhalf Now that that's sorted, how do you explain his H-Cup accomplishments?
