    @hooroo Joost van der Westhuizen was a big fan of throwing punches when he was behind a ruck.

    picking on halfbacks.

    I don't understand this bonus points system, surely this is a good thing? Wouldn't they lose points for it?

    @bayimports He was definitely a bully, but he could foot it with the best of them, and consistently delivered on the field. Late career fades don't count.

    @tim I saw him as a spectacular athelete with grid iron like passes his repertoire, but not really as hardman unless sexual harrassment in fiji counts

    I think we need to define hardman for the purpose of this thread, but, in the early 90s he definitely brought a hard edge to the pack, plus you wouldn't want to get in a scrap with the three Brooke bros back in the day.

    Brendon Cannon (I think) must be in the frame for his wuss punch on Kev.

    agree hard edge - but Tim wants people that pciked on half backs etc, which like most locks he did in spades and I respected that, his brothers were what I would call hard (and you wouldnt take them on as a group) , at any rate it is all subjective at best

    Wasn’t really a wuss punch, it just didn’t drop him that was all.

    Wasn't he cop? He probably did bash a few heads in the job back in the day.

    @nepia Yeah Larsen was a beat cop in Takapuna.

    I can't remember Kamo ever being involved in anything?

    Back in the mists of time Grant Batty was an angry little man. Would run halfway across the field to get involved in a bit of biff. Even though he would have need a step ladder in order to connect. Definitely compensating...

    I thought it was common knowledge he was a dirty fucker in mauls and scrums? I've been told by two ABs, one who was a teammate of his.
