A bit of proper shoeing never did anyone any harm

Saturday’s Champions Cup final proved a far better game than anticipated in advance. 

A bit of proper shoeing never did anyone any harm

Drew Mitchell’s outstanding solo try, which secured a historic three in a row for Toulon, was worthy of delivering silverware. It will be interesting to see if that piece of individual brilliance will win him a recall to the Wallaby World Cup squad, given that he satisfies the new 60-cap, seven-year ARU contract requirements.

Overall however, as another season draws to a close with only the domestic prizes left on offer to a chosen few, my overriding feeling of a campaign that produced more than its fair share of dross encounters at all levels is that something needs to be done to improve the attacking element of the game.
