Maro Itoje - the greatest rugby player of all time, is he there already?

[ncurd]

I felt like this thread needed a bump.

Watching Itoje had me like

As the original thread man it falls to me to say......


Fack me, what a player! **** on a shovel he is an astonishing find.

Fair do's

 

[BraddersTheDog]

He had a good game today.

 

[Tony Manx]

He had a good game today.

Must be the understatement of the year so far !!

He had a really good game yesterday.

Ahh NH media at it again.

Wish they would relax up there until playing the end of the year tours are over and the dust has settled on the rugby year then we can access things, but already overrating a kid who is yet to really accomplish anything in terms of the bigger picture is just going to damage his head space.

 

[AzaMatt]

Greatest player of all time is a bit of an exaggeration haha but if he continues to play like he did yesterday then it could be him and AWJ on the lions tour next year

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Jonah Lomu, Martin Johnson, Dan Carter, Jordan Crane, Richie McCaw and now Maro Itoje.

One in a lifetime type players.

He's got A LOT to do before his name can be placed in the same sentence as those legends. Also who is Jordan Crane?

Potentially the best player the Crane household has ever produced that's who!

If you're in an doubt...

'I remember when Jordan Crane was the future of English rugby son...'

'But Dad, who IS Jordan Crane?'

'Hush child...I'll tell you when you're older'

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Crane still brings tears to Cardiff supporters

Is this thread a **** take?

 

[Saint4805]

He's a very promising player who has had a great tournament but the ***le of this thread just gets more and more ludicrous.

 

[optimuswolf]

The irony is that because of how well he has played the thread has moved from obvious hyperbole to a point where some are taking it seriously!

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

I think his first goal should be to become the best 2nd row at his club. Only then can we start talking about world domination.

 

[Juggler]

Wonder if he could play at 7?

A back row of Binny 6, Nathan 8 and Maro would be something to behold...

 

[smartcooky]

Martin Johnson, Brian O'Driscoll, Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, Hugo Porta, Serge Blanco. These are players who have earned the epithet "Great"

Greatness is not bestowed, it is earned.... Maro Itoje has played 19 matches for his club in three years, and four matches for England. He's earned nothing so far.
