[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1126492, member: 70552"] Overlap in eras between DC and Sexton. Post DC era Sexton is up against a different set of Fly halves in the GOTE debate IMO. Injury, coaching etc is part and parcel of the sport. His body hasn’t held up when it mattered most and under the most pressure. Look at DC and how he pulled his body through the 2015 RWC even though he’d injured his knee. Of course coaching is not in his control, but his position does give him the most control on the field. And his career will be judged on combo of club and international and not just a the RWC. RWC would be the cherry on the top of an incredible career. Compare someone like BOD and Conrad Smith. There is an argument BOD is the GOTE of 13s. But he only played in a QFs of RWC and one Lions series win. But CS won two back to back RWCs, one series win v the Lions and formed the best midfield combo of his era with Nonu, in conjunction with his longevity at RG every top. CS the greater 13 of his era for me. [/QUOTE]
