You don't realise how good AA is until he's not there. Manu has a lot to thank him for!

Took the very words out of my mouth Qbec. On a day of outstanding performances. But I agree with you his performance was exceptional.

Supposedly the weakest of the front row on either side, on a day when everyone was wilting in the heat he was the last to be replaced. His work rate,and his effort in the Scrum was immense.

Quite Frankly I think all of the Tigers played their best stuff in the Final including the bench. To single out any one player would be difficult.
But soon dad to be Anthony Allen was a very well deserved recipient, not just for the final but for all of the season. :smt038

Trying not to too parochial I'd quite like to add ben Foden of Saints to the candidate for MOTM list - I thought he looked back to his best and was excellent when those about him were performing sub-optimally (lots of effort but too many errors etc).

As I always used to say with Austin Healey - he's the perfect bench player for England - can come on and play anywhere and is also a good impact player.
