When he runs nowadays he looks like someone in an 'It's A Knockout*' game with a bungee cord round his waist.

I'm hoping that * wasn't aimed at me sir
As for Wellens, yesterday was just the final confirmation. We all remember Ali's try in the 2005 play-offs and he's been getting slower ever since. Last year's World Cup "performance" was another landmark, where every kick was fielded in times measured by ice ages. He may well have seemed even slower yesterday, but that's just natural progress.
