Decision to go for late seven pointer ‘brainless and arrogant’

BRAINLESS and arrogant. That’s how Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans reacted to Munster’s decision to go for a late seven pointer instead of taking a probable three points through a penalty kick that would have put Saturday’s Heineken Cup clash out of his team’s reach.

"When they went for the corner, I thought you s****y bastards," said Evans. "It was a brainless decision.

"They're six points up going into the last 10 minutes and they kick for the corner. I wasn't very happy with that. I thought you arrogant so-and-sos. Rog is not a bad place kicker, is he, and it was 15 metres in. I thought it was a gimme."
