This is an odd discussion for me. Sure I can see how these guys are exciting players to watch, but seat fillers? I cannot think of a time I would have gone to see a match or even made more of a effort to see a match because so and so was playing. Seeing someone like Jonah (THE man in this instance) would be a bonus but I would be going to watch England v NZ not Jonah.
I’m more in this boat. One of the great things about rugby is that it’s the ultimate team game.
I’ve seen some brilliant rugby players live over my lifetime, but I can only think of one time that I was genuinely excited with anticipation to see one player live and that was 17 years ago. I was in Sydney for the week and a mate rang me on the Tuesday or Wednesday and said he had corporate seats at the SFS for the opening round of the Super 12 and it was the Blues and Waratahs game. Rupeni was playing.
i was at that game
As was I. Orene Ai'i started at 10 from memory. Rokocoko's Super Rugby debut but he was overshadowed by a certain other winger.
Rupeni didn’t disappoint. Scored a couple of tries that night against a pretty good Tahs side. I remember Orene barely made a kick that night and the score was closer than it should’ve been.

For forwards running fast at backs, I still can't go past Richard Bands running over Los, that was some funny shit
Spencer wasn't actually much better at defending than Merhts was.

He was when younger, but after he busted his shoulder (maybe in 1999) he was definitely at Mehrts level.

The players that would make my list are the ones who when they got the ball you were off your seat in anticipation of what would happen next.
Of the names not mentioned yet, I would add Sivivatu.
Joeli Vidiri too. He was sensational in the Blues early years.

Hey what about that lock that chased down a winger. Bet you don't remember the names.

Your obsession with everything I've ever posted ( and the fact you even remember it ) is creepy as fuck.
