[QUOTE="TRUE LEGND, post: 140207"] Definitely agree with you on Honibal Ive never EVER seen a fly half as tough as this guy. He is actually the first person Ive seen sit Tana Umaga and Carlos Spencer on there arse's with a huge front on tackle. Now this guy had the technique of sprinting front on into the ball carrier he would do this ever time he'd make a tackle which in time earned him respect in NZ even today he still talked about in NZ... My toughest player would be.. Well for me i grew up watching Buck shelford, Now this guy was as TOUGH as nails not only through his physical toughness but also mental toughness as well, i remember his body fat reading was lower then some of the backs, i think it was something like 19% off the top of my head. But i do remember looking at his massive 6 pack and how toned up his body physique and massive legs were on my poster i had when i was a kid. when i was young he came to my home town to play rugby, Auckland V Counties and it was 60minute's into the game when he came off, he took his head band bandage off his head and biffed it on the ground where he stood. Then a few minutes later a stampede of about 20 people lept over the security fence and wrestled for it, what made even funnier was the head band ended up getting ripped into about a few hundred pieces... He was a school boy's icon we all wanted to be like him... When you get schooled at the New Zealand Academy camp they give you the run down of all the past players that schooled there. They tell you first and foremost about Buck shelford and the things he did not only for the all blacks but the time he spent in camp. Most of the things they tell you about him leaves you breathless...The guys a True living Legend Also i know the French player's where dirty but there were some intimidating tough bugger's in that team over the past year's and i know there packs use to scear the **** out of the ABs [/QUOTE]
