The best quotes from Sky TV's rugby man, the ubiquitous ex-All Black and US director of Rugby, Murray Mexted:


"You don't like to see hookers going down on players like that."


"He's looking for some meaningful penetration into the backline."


"Spencer's running across field calling out, 'come inside me, come inside me.'"


"I can tell you it's a magnificent sensation when the gap opens up like that and you just burst right through."


"I don't like this new law, because your first instinct when you see a man on the ground is to go down on him"


"Darryl Gibson has been quite magnificent coming inside Andrew Mehrtens, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the same today."

Follow up:

"There's nothing that a tight forward likes more than a loosie right up his backside"


"Everybody knows that I have been pumping Martin Leslie for a couple of seasons now."


“There’s lots of hooters over here Nisbo.”


"He who hesitates......erm..............is lost!"


"Both sides are here to play rugby."


A Sky TV producer was conducting a sound test before the last Springbok test at Carisbrook...
"Murray can you hear me?....Murray can you hear me?"

Murray: "No mate, nothing."


"The turf here (Newlands) never took properly and it isn't very well rooted...in fact you could say it is rooted.....did I just say that?"




"[That's a] tactical kick or a testicle kick as my father used to call it, because it always ended up a ballser..." - Musing on the value of the grubber kick.
