Lacking a bit of clarity around our direction
Robbie's presser was a classic of the genre:
I'm an aficionado of Iain's work as there are too few real wordsmiths among Australian sporting journalists. Thus this little gem:
"A scrum after the siren collapsed in the Aussie half, and referee Jaco Peyper penalised Ben Alexander."
You don't rush a sentence like that. It needs time to savour.
*Disclosure. Iain was kind enough to write a reference for me last week.
