[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 663685, member: 57076"] yeah apparently Sponghero was dubbed the "man of iron" (or "ironman", translating from French) by the Saffers after one of his tours there. I may be wrong, but I picked Servat over Ibanez, although Ibanez is more iconic and has much more of that "classic player" tag. Servat wasn't selected half as much as Ibanez (44 caps vs 98 caps) but was part of (what I guess we can call) the golden age of French scrummaging along with many excellent props, Mas, Domingo, Olivier Milloud, Marconnet, Pieter De Villiers, Fabien Barcela; I think Servat was possibly a better scrummager, and very present around the park. I don't know...sen both play a lot, but couldn't be absolutely sure of any. [/QUOTE]
