    Os du Randt won two world cups at loosehead, i reckon he absolutely pisses in to that spot. Deadset legend.

    A no-brainer for me too. Leonard became like Mtawarira is now, a professional sub who plays limited minutes. He didn't even start in the 2003 RWC final, and only came on in ET. You don't get selected for long service!

    @booboo Just wondering if you read the thread?

    Nothing really, a minor Booboo some might say, or have I missed your point?

    Of course I didn't.

    But then I thought it was worth leaving just to agree with @gt12 .

    I'm not sure which AB the Japanese fans think this guy is.

    @rotated yep agreed. Read has had 2 very good campaigns for 2 wins. Dayglow was instrumental in 2003. Zinny a more talented player than both, but on World Cups only that misses the mark.

    For me Finegan in 99 is a good shout for the 6 jersey. But again, Kaino was bloody good in two cup wins...

    Kaino should walk this, best player in the world in 2011 and still one of the top ABs in 2015.

    @taniwharugby He looks more like a Northland prop. 🤣

    But Cameron seems to be enjoying the notoriety.

    Isn't Derby Day the one where you have to wear black and white? Hopefully it's fitting colours for the evening!

    This is a beautiful rugby story: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/rugby-world-cup-2019-wales-13899926

    How many of us have strolled into a rugby club in some distant land with nought in our pockets and no plans but to pick up a game or two only to get absorbed into the fabric of a club?

    As a 15 year old Morne du Plessis dropped by to visit my coach Springbok wing Andy van der Watt. Our whole team went round to Andy’s house to have a beer with the great man who would shortly go on to manage the 95 winning team. And the two of them made us all promise to keep playing after we left school because of what rugby would do for us.

    One or two of us took their wise advice to heart. I never played any higher than club first grade, but rugby has left me with close friends in SA, Botswana, across Canada, Wales, the UK and Hong Kong to say nothing of all the lunatic Kiwis, aussies, Welshmen, Frenchmen, Uruguayan, PAcific Islanders and yanks who like me were wandering through the rugby world.

    One of the great joys of the RWC is randomly bumping into former clubmates and opponents.
