I was just waiting for him to come on as a sub. but scoring inside 2 minutes was a real surprise, and

with Ross Stewart's departure now confirmed , at last we have " a real no.9 "  with all the right qualities.

 

Big, fast and able to " take care of himself" .  Being " the main man " now will do wonders for his confidence 

and Saints did well to sign him when they did, and we can hope he continues to improve. To my mind

he is perfect for the English game, and praise to TE for giving him the support needed for his game style. 

 

Not his fault that it took so long to get back in the Canadian squad but playing in Europe for several years 

and not being appreciated by the clubs he played for obviously led to his lack of attention in Canada. 

Now he is back in the limelight , I hope he can continue to improve with Saints next season.

I think it was his heroics in the Swedish side that led to Saints signing him.  He was the first Swede 

we signed in the early 00's, and led to others following.   At one time we had 5 Swedes in the squad.

I was waiting for the commentator to remind us “they really love a No 9 in Toronto “, but it wasn’t on his list of stereotypes to trot out

You may be right.

Was that at the right end ?

It was a tidy finish at the right end if memory serves!

Might even have been WC before last
