[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 756637, member: 39190"] I tend to go for Joost as well. Before 2000 its hard to weigh players with modern players. I suspect Danie Gerber would be a great SA center but maybe not a legend if he were to play today. That said maybe if had the access to the type of resources and regimes modern players do.. apples and oranges, no way to compare other than maybe on an impact-within-their-context type of comparison. Also we've seen so much of Habana of late that we forget the force he was ~2007. In time I think people will forget his slumps, forget the few mistakes he made and remember his workrate and blistering pace. My boy will only see the best of Habana on highlights reels for instance and I'm sure his legacy as a Bok winger will dwarf that of those before him. ITO SA rugby at least. Despite being apples and oranges its difficult to argue with Lomu's impact on the game in his shorter time. [/QUOTE]
