[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 131645"] Greetings McLaren. Well, I do agree with you when you say Pierre Spies is the future. Sure, he`s a big, strong lad, and I also reckon there aren`t many forwards who can clock a sub 11-second 100m (remember Spies used to be an age-group 100m sprinting champion). He IS very impressive at the breakdown- anybody who wins back-to-back man of the match awards, playing out of position at openside, against first Ritchie McCaw and then the very next week vs. George Smith, and that in your 2nd and 3rd test matches in your career, has got to be pretty special. (2006 tri-nations gents) But I don`t think we can call him the world`s best just yet mate. He`s only had a handful of test matches- less than 10 I think. For the moment, well let`s just say he`s in the "extremely promising" category. And right now, I would probably rate Leamy as the best no.8 in world rugby- yes, yes fellow SH people, please feel free to laugh, but I`m actually serious. So let`s just wait `till after the RWC. If Spies lives up to his potential, as I believe he will, well then we can call it. But not yet. [/QUOTE]
