He played well, sure. So did O'Driscoll. And Jaques Fourie just had a blinder against France
Are you kidding me? Smith was in a different universe to O'Driscoll.
Smith scored 2 trys. He made the right decision everytime he had the ball, was watertight on defense, sliced through the Irish defense at will and showed rugby nous that most players could only dream of. The guy seems physically incapable of making a mistake.
O'Driscoll scored a lucky (yet well taken, good on him) try from 3 metres out. His running was completely ineffective, his jinking little dances before reaching the defensive line only served to confuse his support players and bemuse the AB defenders before he was easily brought down. He threw a couple of handy passes but that was nowhere near enough to make up for being utterly outplayed by Smith.
Having your own opinion is fine, fair play to you thats your right.
But when you get shown up completely, a man stands up and admits they may have been wrong. A child sticks their fingers in their ears and goes "nanana my opinions are right no matter what actually happens"
