[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 12888"] Exactly what I was about to say........Capt said the most famous, not the best..... He is undeniably the most famous player ever. He is recognised by a lot of Americans, Australians etc that don't know jack about the game of rugby....(Jonny who???). As for OVERALL/ALL ROUND ability he wouldn't make my 50 best players of all time. He couldn't tackle, catch a high ball very well (any kick actually), couldn't kick to save himself, and was hardly one of the greatest thinkers of the game (often out of position, tactically inept)...........it would be like calling Hugo Porta the best player of all time because he was very good at kicking goals...... .....however he was an excitement machine in attack, possessed amazing power, and speed for a big man.
