[QUOTE="Peat, post: 605337, member: 42330"] I've never really liked this distinction between great athletes and great rugby players. I get that some players shine through athleticism and others through technique and intelligence, but end of the day, a great rugby player is a guy who does great things on a rugby pitch. Doesn't matter how. And, to be a great rugby player, it's pretty difficult not to have a complete package. I imagine we've all seen some massive guys who simply didn't have the fire, or didn't know what to do on the pitch, or didn't have the hands - or whatever. Just because a guy cannot perform every facet to a masterpiece standard does not mean they don't have excellent technical, mental and physical attributes in general. [/QUOTE]
