[QUOTE="Lancashire Nick, post: 830576, member: 73890"] I've only selected players I've seen in the flesh or live on television (1973-present day). Whilst acknowledging that you can't accurately compare eras, I've tried to assess a player's quality compared to the average player in their era; and assumed that if they'd been playing today; with access to today's dietary knowledge, training methods, medical care etc etc, a superstar in the 70's would be a superstar today. 1) Os Du Randt 2) Sean Fitzpatrick 3) Fran Cotton 4) Martin Johnson 5) John Eales 6) Michael Jones 7) Richie McCaw 8) Zinzan Brooke 9) Gareth Edwards 10) Dan Carter 11) Jonah Lomu 12) Tim Horan 13) Phillippe Sella 14) David Campese 15) JPR Williams [/QUOTE]
