[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 782354, member: 39240"] It's debatable both ways personally I'd have Matfield and POC as the 2 best of that generation but it's like all things. They were all great players. Genuinely world class and an argument could be made for them all. On POC alone looking back over his career it is amazing to see like in last 3-4 years he was probably better than ever. The way he played on for a scrum with a broken arm for Lions, that tackle against Aus in 79th min, the way he demented Wales in 6 Nations last year. (Yes Wales win but he was amazing). The man is a true gent off field and class act on it. Also I may be bias but I think he's been the greatest captain in last 20 years or so. Yes I know Johnson was a class act and McCaw and I'm being a bit bias but well I just said I'd throw it in there. [/QUOTE]
