[QUOTE="Hamez, post: 315006, member: 40886"] I am sure you will agree there is a huge difference between a 100m sprinter and running on a rugby field. its very different conditions. He was fast, he was powerful never said he wasnt, he was just so different at the time he stood out so much, I dont think he would have had such an impact now as he did back then. He was a good front on tackler no doubt about that, but he was stood up many times, he did have very poor defensive positioning, coulldnt kick very well, didnt have the best hands in the world either. I dont like it but due to all the video analysis they do these days his faults would have been more pronounced cause teams would have targeted him completely different to what they did in the late 90's. As i have said before he was exciting to watch, and a good player, a great world cup player. but overall he was a good winger, not one I would classify as one of the all time greats though. [/QUOTE]
