@Victor-Meldrew Rico and Hosea would both qualify surely.

Rico's already there. Forgot Hosea.

Had to check that he hadn’t been poached by The Baldies
Well he’s more ranga than some of the suggestions mentioned ( Brad Shields ? What the fuck ? )
Like Dan Cole he proudly qualifies for both teams.

@Bones Romi Ropati, Roger Randle

@taniwharugby I forgot Romi! I'm a disgusting person.

How did you forget Rivez Reihana ?
When it comes to Rugby you sure do live in the past

@Victor-Meldrew Jean Condom
Funnily enough was only talking about him yesterday afternoon
A Northern Irish mate of mine recounted the time he went to Landsdowne Road to watch Ireland v France
Willie Anderson was playing for Ireland and some wag in the crowd had a banner which read
‘Our Willie is going to break your Condom’

Ritchie & Mourie for me. Both took teams which were in a bad place and brought to the very top,
I don't disagree with your picks but would argue that Ritchie didn't takeover a team that were in a bad place - quite the opposite. They had one bad game that galvanised the team and prompted a lot of their later success.
If you were to talk about taking over a team in a bad place and taking them to the top then Fitzy has it all over Ritchie.
No love for Reuben Thorne

Yeah, Ritchie almost got handed the team on a platter from Tana (I still contend we would have won if Tana had stayed on).
Kirky took over a team coming off a bad place and was the second choice so plaudits for him.

I guess my point is how
RitchieRichie transformed the team post 2007. From what I've read, the changes in mental attitude and team leadership were immense. Sure, it wasn't just him, but he deserves much of the credit.
