I guess we can cross out Hook now as well.

 

[RC]

Also, over the past few tests for Wales i'd say that Stephen Jones needs to be included back into the list.

 

[steynboi]

butch james, dan carter and ruan pienaar who played a really good game and can prove himself more i reckon to maybe take butch's place.

 

[Bullitt]

Well if what I saw yesterday is anything to go by, Butch James will be remembered as an under-talented thug rather then one of the all time greats. I could have described him as a pantomime villain except he's completely charmless.

Try Steve Jones, Ruan Pienaar and Nick Evans?

 

[BOD=GOD]

Wouldn't even have Ronan O'Gara in the top 10 these days he is atrocious

 

[JohnBE]

Ogara isn't atrocious at all

if I was to list it I'd say

Dan Carter
Mat Giteu
Hernandes
Ronan O'Gara
Cipriani
Steven Jones

and then after that I think it drops a level. but if any of those guys were 10 for my club I'd be happy

 

[Bullitt]

No, he really is. He's over-rated shite.

 

[JohnBE]

I used to think that.. I really for years that he was over rated. but if you really look close he's fantastic.. no.10 movement and passing with ball in hand is fantastic. beautiful to watch.

Ogara doesn't have the individual running skill of Carter and Cipriani but he's a different type of outhalf.. a bit like contemponi....

and 1001 heineken cup points is quite a decent record I think

 

[Bullitt]

1001 HEC points out of a potential 1800... *cough60%recordcough*

He only has the scores because he's been around forever while he only plays for Ireland because there's LITTERALLY nobody else who can play 10 on the emerald Isle. Who's irish at least. Or even a yank that's achieved the American dream of becoming Irish!

Really though, he has no running game, his passing makes me think about barn doors, his kicking from hand is eratic as is his goal kicking and he has a smug attitude which suggests he needs a good punch in the face - proberbly explaining why he turned blue at Murrayfield...
