TOM BRADY HAS never been built for power or praised for his tackle technique.
Yet when the 38-year-old threw an interception in the 27 – 10 win over Washington last night… well, nobody’s perception was changed about his skill-set, but he did somehow manage to prevent the pick turning into six.
Keenan Robinson looked a shoe-in for the touchdown, he was in the slip stream of a blocker and Brady was the last defender.
Brady braced himself for impact and bravely (yet ever so gently) eased himself towards the contact. The lack of conviction in his effort must have put the blocker off, because he only got a hand on Brady and stormed on by, meanwhile, the quarterback’s trailing leg was scuppering Robinson’s run.

You can’t teach that sort of defence. Mostly because you wouldn’t be allowed teach that sort of defence.
I was always a fan of Nicole Cronin at 9. Very few players can move the ball around the pitch faster than her.
@Peter Cavey: Same, and I love her energy. But Dane brings a great element to the game too, particularly her control of the tempo.
@Ailbhe STAY HOME: I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings. This french team are arguably the best women’s team in the world right now.
