The East Terrace is proud to announce that Cardiff coach Matt Sherratt, who is currently the interim head coach for Wales, has won a Mike Pyke Nonchalant Try Scoring Award.
Sherratt is the first coach to win the most prestigious award in all of rugby, with the title usually reserved for try scorers only. He was given the honour after his casual response to a try from Tom Rogers, which extended Wales’s lead over favourites Ireland in the Six Nations last week.
You can see the response here:
The nonchalant response was all the more impressive as Sherratt somehow managed to produce a quality performance from a team that were not only ten places lower in the world rankings than Ireland, but, as Gatland apologists have continually told us for 18 months or more, simply aren’t up to producing anything of note at Test level.
Former winners of the award include Jonny Wilkinson, Jac Morgan, Taulupe Faletau and Louis Rees-Zammit.
