No surprise on Twelvetrees

Surprised it's taken so long. This guy's been a cult hero since this match and should have been in the England squad since 2009.

Was that the match when he scored a length of the field try with all 15 opposition players hanging off him or the one where he kicked 110% of his kicks including a 125m kick?

All I remember is that the ospreys were home and dry by halftime and then this unknown with a funny surname came onto the pitch and thus a legend was born.

 Well I mainly remember it as the match where:

a) Craig Newby played at IC for the entire second half 
b) 36 decided to go for the line on the final play of the game, just coming up short, rather than give the pass to Murphy outside him.

It's at least arguable that Murphy would have been tackled into touch by the cover defence though.

True. I was end on as usual, but on this occasion in the temporary stand down at the club house stand end. Murphy looked to have enough space with a decent pass cutting out the defender. From 100m+ away not able to see just how close the defender was.
