[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 394876, member: 43400"] I agree with Ranger ... if you are going to choose a winger to learn from, I wouldn't choose Lomu - a good all round winger needs to be good on defense as well as attack, and other sides found Lomu out a bit by kicking in behind him, as he was slow to turn and get back ... I think Jeff Wilson from the same era, had a better all round game (attack, defense, kicking etc) ... Lomu wasn't even the first All Black winger to score 4 tries in a test match against England - that honour is Duncan McGregor's in 1905 ... as a side issue, i'd love to have seen him or George Smith (the 1905 All Black winger, not the Wallaby flanker) play, to see how they played, and how much the game has changed [/QUOTE]
