[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 280667"] This list seems to be juggling between achievements in rugby and impact on rugby. My list: 1) Os du Randt (2 World Cup medals. LEGEND) 2) John Smit 3) Carl Hayman 4) Martin Johnson 5) Victor Matfield (The most complete and dominant lock to ever play rugby) 6) Richard Hill 7) Richie McCaw 8) Zinzan Brooke (Peerless. Absolutely peerless) 9) George Gregan (I hated him but damn he was good, really good. Joost is SO close to nudging ahead) 10) Dan Carter 11) Jonah Lomu 12) Tim Horan (Amazing, nuff said) 13) Brian O'Driscoll 14) Doug Howlett 15) Christian Cullen --- Howlett is the only selection not sitting well for me. Habana could come in for him and you wouldn't lose anything. Howlett was has been more consistent and has been more well rounded for longer though. It's crazy that Os wasn't in the original list, I'm shocked really. This whole article nearly lost all it's credibility at 1! It feels so wrong to leave out John Eales, I really admired him. But Matfield has been peerless for so long now, you can't leave him out. [/QUOTE]
