@george33 Lashes gets some great oil from “his pigeons”. I wonder how much longer his pigeons will be able to leak info. .

giant compared with Grant Batty

Batty was a power house tho . . . if he got sucked into a mall, he'd be the one who finished with the ball!

I need some tips from Grant. When I get sucked into a mall, I usually end up with a pair of shoes...

A bit sad realising several of these guys are no longer with us!

What is this thing called x-factor? It’s so elusive that it’s meaning has evaded me….

Think of Reece in an AB jersey. The opposite of that. I'm happy to be of assistance.

And the rest of them. The only winger that had x-factor in the last 20 years is Rupeni. Every one else just did their job

According to a certain poster x-factor is a fat but fast Fijian.

I would posit Shane Williams and Jason Robinson

They both bamboozled defences

I would dare not call anyone fat who was quicker than myself and the majority of pro rugby players.

I am more than happy to change it to:
According to a certain poster to have x-factor you need to play for the Blues..

Whatever floats your boat. Rupeni is in my all-time XV. Unlike most of the eye patch wearing supporters who seem to have this weird obsession with their provincial favourites (to go along with their anti-Crusader/Cantab obsession), I can see greatness regardless of the colour of the jersey.

For completeness Caleb Ralph and Scott Hamilton were a close 2nd and 3rd behind the great Fijian.

I want to see this all-time XV of Rupeni and XIV Cantabs/Crusaders immediately.

Watching a YouTube discussion on Game 1 between Jean de Villiers, Schalk Burger, and Robbie Fleck.

Fuck me the whinging about the refs...

Can't comment as haven't seen it ... but am not surprised

Apparently the genesis of sports advertising. Got replayed so often that Schweppes a massive boost. Watch when Batty puts it down.

[Frank]

Rupeni was the most dangerous attacking player of all time at his peak - better than Lomu and Cullen

[antipodean]

I like the starting XV and am interested in seeing how Carter plays. Hopefully the weather and the game plan suit.

I'm not sure DMac at fullback is the best use of him and Jordan.

I wouldn’t go that far
