DESCRIPTION |
Puig
Aubert was an instrumental part of the French 1951 World Champions
Team. The French gave the aussies a lesson during the Third
test of the 1951 Tour. France's first ever tour in the Southern
Hemisphere.
Puig-Aubert broke all the rules. Firstly, he did not have the
physique expected of an international player; he took the view
that a fullback's role was not to tackle and backed up his belief
in some matches by refusing to do so. When kicking for goal,
he turned his back on the ball when walking back to prepare
for the kick. There was no measured step towards the ball and
he had the fastest approach of any big time kicker.
