In fairness Cooper actually copped on earlier than the other two but he never managed his head right on the pitch. He had so much talent.
Beale has always been watched by people around Sydney but then went off to Melbourne and became a tit for a year or two. Though I think part of the issue there is that heās the type who becomes a mess after a couple of drinks.
OāConnor went to Europe so he could party. Unlike Cooper he made half assed attempts to come back before now.
All three had the talent to be the best in the world at their position. Iād argue though that Beale would more often than not have fitted into any team in the worldās back line somewhere.
I donāt think itās a fair argument on Genia - he has over 100 caps and can make a compelling argument that he was the best in the world at his position in 2010-2012 time.
Final match of the 2019 renewal getting underway in Salta shortly with Argentina hosting South Africa. A draw for South Africa will secure the Championship.
Impressive win for South Africa in Argentina last night to wrap up the Championship. I suspect Ireland will end up facing New Zealand in World Cup quarter final.
