French try gets US plaudits

Nice little write-up on SB Nation about the French try.

One day, though, the yanks might actually learn the difference between the two Rugby's!

I saw this article, freaking great try all made possible by a killer offload by Timmy of all people, not one known for offloads, credit to him, killer pass.

They do not even know the difference between the two rugby's in the AFL states of Australia so good luck

  They don't know about anything outside America.

Agree Timmy did great - offload and made a lot of metres after impact
Don't understand where French came from - great vision and acceleration to get in th right spot and great vision and instinctive kick by Taka to pick French out

I wish we could do that every week

Thought I may've been at risk of being a touch one eyed when I called it as try of the year ;)
Wouldn't it be great if it gets the award for it. Do they still have 'Try of The Year'?

  macybrown: I agree 100%. Kenny`s try brought the house down. Would have gone over big in the US of A. Kenny showed he had the smarts, got initiative, highly cunning, a cheat and a likely lad! Kenny Edwards gets the try of the year by far!! He gets an offer to go to Hollywood to play the anti-hero in a gangster movie!

Did anyone get clearance from Hayne to show the USA another Parra fullback performing miraculous plays. I mean what the hell is going on, they didn't even mention Hayne in the article at all. This will give him nightmares not dreams.

The Eels will have a lot more of those types of highlights next season.

GO THE MIGHTY WORLD FAMOUS EELS.

I've seen it several times but have yet to see where French comes from, he doesn't appear in any wide shots. Look how Gordon sprinted to get the ball before passing to Taka and he saw French and kicked to him. All ad lib stuff.
