[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 642695, member: 57663"] Mmmm, what do you mean by this exactly? Lomu played from 1994 to 2003 - that is almost entirely in the pro era. I get the feeling you have only just watched highlights of Lomu's career, would that be fair? Along with many other, I watched Lomu's career from when he was playing Number 8 for Wesley College, then for the NZ Sevens team, before bursting onto the scene. The guy was an absolute freak. I'm not sure many people that saw him play wouldn't agree. Sure he had some defensive deficiencies, and he was not a complete player, but in terms of what he brought to the game, none of that mattered one but because he was simply SO good. If I could make a world team from past and present Lomu would be the first guy on my list. Also, players are getting bumped off al the time still, its generally about talking technique, not the size of the tackler. So I;m not sure there's much of an argument to be made there. [/QUOTE]
