    @MN5

    The Day in the life of Brian O'Driscoll was pretty hilarious too . I seem to recall a bit about using the hotels' revolving door to simulate Stephen Jones tackling...

    I clearly didn’t proofread my post ( nothing new there ) I actually meant Cantab, not cantankerous.....same thing I guess.

    @gt12 I think I concluded in my own mind that Farrell is probably No. 1 at present.

    On the other hand, there is also this.

    It is Mark Reason, which in its own way makes it extraordinary.

    If you are linking to Reason articles to support your point, it’s time to reconsider your position.

    @gt12 That's a bit dull and predictable. 🙂

    I’d prefer a trio of Merhts, Spencer and DC personally....

    @MN5 Although that's very late Mehrts overlapping very early-DC.

    But, it's also quite late Cruden overlapping Richie.

    It’s more than Cruden/Mo’unga though.

    Fuck Reason writes some utter shit. If he was a ferner he’d be tarred and feathered and banned for life.

    Haven’t read the article so might be getting this wrong, but an overlapping of DC, Cruden and BB gets them all pretty (at different times) much on fire throughout every part of that era.

    @Nepia You should actually bring yourself to read what he says about Cruden - it's pretty much drawn from your song sheet! 🙂

    Cruden at his very best played so straight it made everyone wider instantly more dangerous. That combination with SBW we got to see for a far too short a time was lethal.

    Our 10s from then on are far too lateral in their attack, and that's because their game is built around the run. And that's fine, you just need to adjust the attack to suit. And pick the right player at 12.

    The best 10 is one that keeps the ball in front of our forwards, won't try to play within our half unless it's turnover ball, carries the ball in both hands and plays straight to the line to fix the defence.

    @Nepia Give that article a try - Reason's occasionally interesting when he's not writing clickbait.

    That article, he's actually writing something very nice about NZ rugby - if you didn't see his name tagged, you wouldn't know it's him.

    @KiwiMurph forgot! but was he the first choice?

    I think Tony Brown was everyone's first choice - but to me that's related to Brown's reputation not an issue with Rangi and Razor.

    @Chris-B My problem with Reason is he could write a balanced, interesting article if he wanted to but he seldom wants to.
