[QUOTE="Hamez, post: 314998, member: 40886"] There are that many wingers that are just as big if not bigger these days. . Andreis bekker can run the 100m in something 10 seconds. he was a giant back in the day 1.94 (6ft 4) and 120kg as winger was unheard of, but theres plenty that big these days. A few that come to mind are Nemani Nadolo, Radike Samo, Billy Ratu, Matt Banahan, Sireli Naqelevuki, Wendell Sailor, Pierre Spies was a winger. Genrally most backs are bigger now than they were back in 95 and even 99. Most are around 1.9m and 100kg. So I dont think he would stand out as much as he did when he first started. I watched the game back in the day, Bernat-Salles just ran loops around him and they just kept turning the big man around. He couldn't catch very well and wasn't a very good open field tackler. He never scored against the springboks. I reckon if he started out at 19 these days he would have been a number 8. He is one of the greatest world cup players of all time and very exciting to watch, but I think there has been alot better wingers than Jonah [/QUOTE]
