[QUOTE="el_tk, post: 99231"] It's impossible to say. You can only really say who was the best in their position and then you get into fiddly amateur-pro comparisons. You could look at the players who changed the game. I think you have to consider that rugby has only been pro since '95 whereas if you were looking back over the history of football for players it's been pro for much longer. Here's one thing. In 50 to 60 years who will rugby fans remember as the defining players from this era? Presumably the game will make great strides forward and evolve but who will people remember like they remember Pele, or Puskas? [/QUOTE]
