Berrick Barnes took the Man of the Match award as the Waratahs beat the Cheetahs at the weekend, but he's in no mood to crow abaout it when talking to Ruper Guinness in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"If Berrick Barnes is feeling any satisfaction over his man-of-the-match performance against the Cheetahs on Saturday, he is keeping it close to his chest. To most who watched the match, Barnes's performance indicated a return of confidence after a forgettable few weeks.
''Maybe they couldn't find anyone else to give it [man of the match] to,'' he quipped. ''It's more like a lucky-dip prize. So there you go.''
"Typically, Barnes went to great lengths to deflect credit to others for the Waratahs' 40-17 victory over the Cheetahs, which propelled them to first place on the Super 14 table."
