[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 77269"] Jeff Wilson was one of the All Blacks most consistent players of all time. Blessed with speed, even better acceleration, a great body swerve technique, near-perfect handling, vision to read the game better than almost any other and a kicking game which included the best chip, chase and regather in World Rugby. He played wing and fullback equally well, although most coaches felt he could've played in nearly all the backline positions, due to his ability to read the game and be in the right place at the right time with speed to burn. He was often viewed as a finisher by many fans, although many is the all black who would witness Jeff carve through 2-3 defenders, only to draw in the fullback and pass to them, gifting them an effortless test try, Christian Cullen amongst them on at least four occasions. The team always came first with Jeff, as with any legendary All Black. Will have a full and finished article to post up on Jeff this evening. In the meantime, however, how about discussing whether or not you think this legend should be snapped up for the Hall Of Fame. [/QUOTE]
