That sort of effort in cover defence is typical of French. Last year in the 20s we were getting pounded by the Titans late in the season and French had to make several cover tackles from fullback, which he is generally quite good at despite his size.
Towards the end of the game when the result was well and truly settled the Titans made yet another break and on this occasion French was brushed off somewhere between halfway and our 40m line. The Titans were dead certs to score as our left edge centre and winger (Miski and someone else) didn't have a great deal of speed at the best of times and were gassed pretty hard at this stage.
Out of no where the Titans are bundled into touch 1m out from our line by a blue and gold blur. French had gotten back up near halfway and had over taken our winger and centre to make the try saving effort. It meant shit all in a game that was well and truly over but it typified the drive of French and was a phenomenal display of athleticism.
He sure does have heart.
