[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 946086, member: 58362"] First post for a while, just to repeat something that I've said before here. I really don't understand the difficulty in comparing eras - to me it's how they looked against their peers, which in turn means that you need to be very well steped in rugby history to be able to offer an opinion. Of the rugby I've watched myself and have had the opportunity to look back upon thanks to the footage available, it's Edwards hands down. Sports that are easier to distill down into meaningful (I mean you RugbyPass) statistics make comparisons easier. Don Bradman must be the classic case in point. The game has moved on since he played, but his name is quite rightly thrown in to any greatest ever conversation because he was that much better (statistically) than anyone who played the game, before and since.
