Were you to split Rugby up into lots of little 'bits', who would you rank as the best of the bunch? Let's try and go beyond the generic 'Morne Steyn is the best goalkicker' answers, into quite obscure bits of the game- Who'd be your pick for the best at regathering kicks when they bounce off the post? Best grubber kicker in the world would be...? Wider, more discussed categories (Best lineout thrower, best box kicker, whatever) also open. I'd like to be able to compile a complete list for the best technical rugby players in the world. And, for the record, we're not after a XV.
 
Charlie Hodgson for chargedown tries.
James Hook for throwing intercept try passes (I don't think he's done it for a while, but there was a period a few years ago where he threw loads).
 
The teenage Irish fans for blowing their own trumpet.
 
Best ever player at forcing the opposition number 8/scrum half to fumble the ball - Agustín Pichot
 
Rob Kearney at fielding.

Go Leinster!!!!

Stewphen Ferris at Fishing.
Hartley and chewing over a predicament.
 
Bjorn Basson at catching Up-and-unders
Bismarck Du Plessis at handing off players while some other bloke hopelessly hangs onto his bootstraps
Francois Hougaard for having the longest tongue (yes he beats Bob Skinstad)
Tatafu Polota-nau best Afro
Josh Strauss for looking the most like the team he presents
Lewis Moody for always bleeding
James O'Connor for looking the most like a female celebrity...

Best night out- Zac Guildford or Gavin Henson.
Not a chance!
If it comes to choose between assaulting an old man while naked or throwing ice cubes at people on a plane I'd choose a golf buggy ride every day of the week :D
