On JK I was at a lunch in Brisbane a few years back, and he was asked the who he thought the best player he had played with or against, he said without doubt it was JK. He only had one call on the field "Give me the ball", and then was a nightmare to try and tackle.
.... ah... pretty critical bit of information missing there sorry @Dan54 ... who was asked?

I’m picking David Campese or Paul Carozza. The latter was a very dirty player, blatantly nosing Richard Loe in the forearm. Should have been banned for life.

What is this thing called x-factor? It’s so elusive that it’s meaning has evaded me….
According to a certain poster x-factor is a fat but fast Fijian.
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.

Been going over some old (2001) footage of Rupeni playing for Northland, enough said!

@nostrildamus rugbypass are pretty shit at highlights packages eh? Didn't think I'd get bored of watching Rupeni score tries, but after 3 replays of the walk in try and the longest segment being his walk back after the second try, I bailed.

Yeah I only made it to the second try. The highlight for me was hearing the commentators whinge about forwards in the backline.

I was going to send you the Caleb Ralph/Scott Hamilton double header but I won’t bother now

Topical when one of our major distributors for the ABs is E de Groot (not that it is his decision I'm sure).

Well that's a shame because he smokes Mils and Dougie halfway through. His son, Jnr, is apparently faster, about 19, and playing in France for Montpelier academy, scoring 5 tries in 5 games.

I have a short attention span.
I guess the French will get their grubby mits on his son then if he's good enough.

The 2nd clip...funny how in most, after a red card offence in today's game, most just keep playing, not stopping to point out the offence.
