Classic players I'd probably create:

South Africans
Hennie "The Greyhound" Muller
Uli Schmidt
Danie Gerber

What position did Hennie Muller play and who did he play for.
Just can't recall him. [/b]

He played 8 man in the 1950's. One second . . . go . . . here . . .

South African Rugby Hall of Fame

He played for the Springboks from '49 - '53, his province was Transvaal. He was a part of the South African team that dicked the All Blacks 4 games to 0 in 1949, and completed the first (ever) Grand Slam of all the home nations, plus France, in 1951/52 (which included the Murrayfield Massacre in Nov '51.)

The one compliment that sticks out the most when I remember reading about him is that he basically re-invented the 8-man position, making it something akin to what it is today.

Check out the Hall of Fame link above if you haven't been there before, pretty cool site.

who did union poach? apart from the more recent ones..
wut about matthew ridge? didnt he use to play union first? and Marc Ellis AND John Kirwan AND Andrew Johns... nah i was kiddin bout the last one.. but does anyone remember how John kirwan went to play for the warriors bak in the day wen they had just started up?.. i just remembered that now, one of the greatest wingers of all time

 

[kinkon89]

that gary dude is not all that good

he got shut down against cowboys and is just like matty utai in defence(crap)

he's fast but wen sum1 applies pressure he's not all that good!

but id like to see more of his running game so instead of putting him winger why not center?
