[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 642720, member: 63264"] I saw almost the entire Lomu's career since he dressed the black jersey. I remember seeing him several times in NZ Sevens, for example in Mar del Plata 2001. To my Lomu is the most overrated player in the rugby history, people who don't closely follow rugby, love him, they always say: 'Lomu is the best rugby player forever'. Yes, he was a good winger, he had power but wasn't a complete player. I started playing this sport as a winger, it's the position that requires less knowledge of the sport. If you have a great athlete from the NFL like Adrian Peterson or Vernon Davis, who never played rugby but want to take advantage of their excellent athleticism, you must put them on the wings, and he will not be involved in the rucking, he will not be involved in mauling and others things. I never would picked to Lomu as my first choice, If I could choose between all players in history. Who the hell can pick a winger as the first player on his team? For me the most important positions are a front row, a second row and a loose forward. The backbone of a team: 2 or 3, 4 or 5, 8, 9 or 10 and an outside back IMO. I prefer a player like Tana Umaga, who I consider better than Lomu. I never would picked to Lomu as my first choice, not even think he's among the top five ABs in NZRU's history. Really, even I would say I prefer Christian Cullen before Lomu, a much more complete player with more skills. Do you think that Lomu is better than Tana Umaga? Really??? To my Tana Umaga is 10 times better player than Lomu. [/QUOTE]
