Very often the assist is what it is all about, a mazy run leaving 3 in your wake, a pinpoint pass and some jobber taps it over the line.
I hate it when the scorer wheels away instead of going straight to the assister, it was his goal.
His walk from half way was more assured than his run up (stroll) for the kick
Edit : the score on penalties was 3:2 so Saints were no great shakes (better than us)
I have no memory of the goals we lost but I do remember thinking at half time that we were still in it.
Penalties were poor though, compare with our European exploits.
