Was Habana left or right?

[Machpants]

@booboo I'm thinking both but mostly left. Dunno to me wings are like locks, just do them together.

Yep. Just watched a highlights reel of his and seems to be just as much 14 as 11 on his back.

There does seem to be some confusion over how long a decade is...

[taniwharugby]

@Snowy maybe his work in 2011 at 11 had such an impact?

TBF, not many people last a whole decade. some stellar 1 season wonders shouldnt really be excluded should they?

I dont see the big deal really, sure some names are a stretch, but these kinds of things there will always be names thrown about you sit there and think WTF, I dont see it.

I mean, Maro Itoje, outside of the RWC semi v ABs, he is the most overated player on the planet IMO, yet I'm sure plenty rate him, he got a nom didnt he?

A decade does imply at least some longevity I reckon, it doesn't have to be the whole time but at least a reasonable part of it.

You could rank all of the players out of ten for each season, add them up over the ten years and you have a score that is more representative of the overall performance than a one season wonder, or even a great that finished after 2011 RWC.

It's all subjective anyway.

Being goid for one year in 10 ... nah

It pains me but Jonny May. Stockdale probably worth a shout too.
