That actually was really late - he should be pinged for that… I agreed with your earlier comment about Ennor sneaking in one extra r...

And I don't think he's failed, a failure is someone who doesn't try something, he tried rugby and was good, but as you say not really exceptional. He'll always be a dual international. That's pretty cool. ...
