[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 836969, member: 70721"] Sid Going would have been amazing in the modern era. He was strong, quick, had a mega pass and could play as an extra flanker when needed. Don Scott could kick half way around the globe with a rugby ball that was misshapen, took on water and became 'waterlogged' and in knee deep mud wearing a square toe wooden clog. Bruce Robertson was part ghost. He became ethereal when waltzing through enemy lines. he would have relished the opportunity to play today. Mourie is the original modern openside flanker. Standing off the ruck watching the opposite first five just waiting to race out of the gates and belt him into the stands. He would have loved to play today. Grant Batty was Shane Williams with attitude. Quality at the top level transcends the ages. Give them the diet, the fitness regime and the freedom of the modern game and these lads would give you back everything in spades. With humility and a good old fashioned sense of humour. [/QUOTE]
