[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1126554, member: 70552"] Individually and skill wise I would agree. But we are talking of “Greatness” not most skilful. I look at 2007 when for some strange reason Henry selected Muiliana at 13 for the RWC. That was a great ABs team which were favourites to win the RWC. Play a proper 13 and ABs win the next two world cups. Still, Smith has 2 World Cup winners medals to show whereas BOD has none. Club game is important and all and that is one side of the coin to judge a player’s Greatness in their era. No doubt Sexton ticks this. Six nations is equivalent of an annual Euros. But For me RWC is still the pinnacle of the sport. Can’t class Sexton as GOTE if he doesn’t steer Ireland to one in his career. [/QUOTE]
