G&GR Waratahs Player of the Match (v Bulls)

So Horne was the third best 'Tahs player - on the basis of 10 minutes of game time? Presumably because of one impressive run from an unmarked position - and guess who put him into space?

Must have been a good ball. He's kept Mowen on the bench this week.

1 is based on the amount of excitement I felt when Horne made that run at the end of the game. At that point it seemed the Tahs were out of it and headed for a Brumby style surrender, then Horne's run through three defenders to free up Mitchell and offload reminded me of Robbie at his best.

Didn't realise that Mowen could play outside centre, thought he was a blindside flanker...

Wow, now it's getting confusing. I was referring back to Broadway Bruce's comment about who put Horne into space. From memory (and I haven't checked the tape) it was Dave Dennis.

Dennis it was. I suspect Bruce was beating the Broadway drum.

I had a fair idea of the basis for your award. The point I was making, apart from his very limited time involvement in the game, was that when he started his run he was unmarked. Being in the clear he was then able to position himself to outmanoeuvre the covering defence. Still an impressive run followed by an equally good one by Mitchell.
