    I'm a bit shocked at all of the Polish chicks...

    Did someone say Polish chicks?

    Well, to be fair, we've won two world cups in the last 8 years, so the recency bias is entirely explicable. What I don't understand, is the world cup winners who lost out to world cup losers... For example, Olo Brown was a great AB, but Owen Franks has won two world cups. It's not even a contest as far as I'm concerned.

    Winning a RWC doesn't correlate with awesomeness. FFS, Olo was the greatest TH prop in the world for nearly two RWC cycles, with daylight second. Straightest back in the game, an absolute unit.

    Franks O is good, but I don't think at his peak he was as far ahead of his peers as Olo was. Legend in the game, adn rightly so.

    This sort of blatant provincialism is disgusting.

    Yes, but the whole point of the poll is to work out who were the best ABs at Rugby World Cups!!!

    To rate players in the ‘87 tournament, you’d pretty much have to have been born by 1970 to have seen that RWC and grade the players with any degree of knowledge, which means you’d have to be nearly 50 years old now.

    It is possible to watch replays. Sure, you won't have all the context as you would watching it at the time but you'd have a fresher memory than someone who last watched it it the 80s...

    @Hooroo Laugh while you can piston wristed gibbon 😉 A helluva lot of you pricks are now older (not wiser) than I was when I joined TSF.

    You'll be off to the clinic for your first colonoscopy before you know it.

    Don't joke

    I have thought at times "was that post written by a polish chicken? Probably not, they know more about rugby".
