[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 395158, member: 48703"] If I were to say one position, I would say blindside flanker, no players can do anything without the ball, but also props as a team with awful backs could still perhaps win a match by mincing their opposition at scrum time, which more games are won and lost on these years, and also a good kicker is important In the Finland team (bottom of the IRB rankings) if you gave them, the two best scrummagers e.g. Roncero and Nicolas Mas a brilliant rucker and ball steeler and tackler at openside, e.g. Pocock or McCaw plus somebody to reliably kick all penalties e.g. Carter or Wilkinson and kept the rest of the team the same, they could maybe qualify for the World Cup at least that's what I see as the most important position, a position where a crap team with one good player can make a team good like Latham and Gear at Worcester, good players, but couldn't make a poor blunt attacking team any good [/QUOTE]
