Australia scrum-half Will Genia talks to Georgina Robinson in the Sydney Morning Herald
"Perception is reality. Do the simple things well. Get to the breakdown quickly. Play on instinct. The four pillars of Will Genia's world. The last three are self-explanatory, the hallmarks of a playing style that has the 23-year-old lauded as the best halfback in the world today.
"But ''perception is reality'' hails from darker days, when few around Genia predicted the scale of brilliance to come. It was a Queensland Reds training session at Ballymore in March 2008. The then-20-year-old had just been told he had not made the squad to tour South Africa."
