Mex: The King of Quotes

Over my years of being a rugby viewer and scholar, I have found it hard not to notice how both the Australian and New Zealand commentators have a tendency to say some great shit. None, however, can compare to the great Murray Mexted. Here are just a few epic quotes to wet your appetite:

1)"Andy Ellis - the 21 year old, who turned 22 a few weeks ago"
2)"He scored that try after only 22 seconds - totally against the run of play." 
3)"I would not say he (Rico Gear) is the best left winger in the Super 14, but there are none better."
4)"Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw."
5)"Strangely, in the slow motion replay, the ball seemed to hang in the air for even longer."

We will try to dig up some other epic quotes from the likes of Hugh 'Unbelievable' Bladen and Greg 'Marto' Martyn over the course of the season in order to keep you all entertained!

Stay Tuned!
