[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 903928, member: 76349"] I agree with the thrust of some if the posts here in that it's probably amateurs who were either the backup for a great player and didn't get on because of no sub's ala Warren Gatland (not saying he's the best ever, but he's a well known example of a player who never got a cap because he was second choice behind an all time legend) or a great player who didn't play for a fashionable club. Tadhg Furlong and Sean O'Brien probably wouldn't have ended up in the Ireland team 30 years ago because whoever was picking the team wasn't watching rugby in Longford or Carlow. [/QUOTE]
