Kiwis fall for Horwill 'con'

By Jon Geddes

July 28, 2008

BRUISING forward James Horwill was a reluctant hero for Australia after pulling off one of the greatest con jobs in international rugby during Saturday's thrilling 34-19 Bledisloe Cup win over New Zealand at ANZ Stadium.

With Australia trailing 19-17 in what was a high-pressure situation, Horwill found himself standing in the New Zealand defensive line as rampaging Rocky Elsom took off on a charge towards the All Blacks tryline.

The Wallabies "ring-in" stuck out his arm and apparently yelled to the New Zealand players he had Elsom covered, creating a hole which his grateful teammate was able to run through to score.

Thats pretty funny... what's going on with the quick-witted forwards though?- The worlds gone topsy-turvy!! Someone get Dunning on the tele telling us how he's gonna play for the next 15 years- STAT!

Please, the forwards have ALWAYS been the brains of the operation while the backs lay back checking thier hair in the mirror when the ball isn't out thier way.

Anton is known as Ape Face or Grenade Face. There was a rumour a few years back re Percy being a dirt tracker.

[Swee_82]

Honestly, compared to Percy and the big buffount hair... I'd take Oliver, though I have a well-documented perchant for forwards, so my opinion doesn't really count.
