Sometimes forget how good Mils was as a running fullback back in those days.
really? how do you forget this?
I just do (early on-set dementia?), maybe because I compare him with the gold standard
Rangi(I'm not @Chris-B) Cullen, and remember him as the solid all round fullback he was more than the attacking dynamo.Mils is our 2nd best FB is have seen. Great runner, really good at bringing his wingers in to the game. He's the man. One of my favourite ABs of the past 20 years (probably 2nd behind Kaino)
I'd probably go Cullen, Kipper, Mils of the ones I've seen.
Agree with you on Kaino for favourite AB of the last 20 years.
Kipper can't compete with Cullen in terms of sheer brilliance (despite being quite brilliant himself) or with Mils in terms of longevity

Yeah, and that's why he's second, and I don't generally have longevity as one of my key metrics when picking my favourite/best players.

@mikedogz Cheers for posting that, I was at that game ... the girls we were with (from the local Catholic school) wouldn't shut up about how hot Marc Ellis was.

I hope you enjoyed a bit of second hand success on the back of it?

@taniwharugby not too many people gas Christian Cullen on the outside..Joe Mafileo has story to tell his grandchildren, from what I have heard chatting to some individuals that played in that game..Cullen had not come across the very little known Mafileo, but having seen him run around in North Harbour club in the mid nineties..I knew he could shift..,Cullen in most cases would show the player the outside knowing he had the pace to rope him in..problem was Mafileo possessed stunning pace over the first 30 metres.

Watching these videos, rugby was at its absolute pinnacle in the late 90s

Which is why it's so annoying that for all but 2.5 years of the 90s we were fucking shit.
