The 19 team were predictable and one dimensional, because Rassie came in, in 2018, they resorted to a very simple and effective system which was classic South African rugby. 23 brought a lot more complex rugby patterns and tactics which had been integrated into the system over years.

I've never seen them. 10) Dan Carter need i elaborate 11) Bryan Habanna (yes lomu was a monster and legend but as a 11 and pure winger Bryan would literally run circles around lomu in their respective primes). 12) Ma'a Nonu 13) Brian O'Driscoll (only Irishman) 14) David Campese simply undeniable at 14 also the only Aussie in my Opinion 15) Percy Montgomery (toughest choice really hard between the rolce Royce of fullbacks André Joubert but I'll Go with percy, his Boot won the boks that 2007 world cup not missing 1 kick also the boks record points scorer).

Lomu and Habana are probably the biggest debate here because despite being without a doubt the top 2, 11's to grace the game so far (if cheslin keeps playing the way he does he could stake a claim) they are also polar opposites with lomu being the big ball carrying but still surprisingly fast winger whereas Bryan was the most electrifying winger I've layed eyes on.

To me this refers to the perinial question who was the best player in any given Sport. Especially difficult to agree upon in a team sport, and then compariing players from different erras. Rules, equipment, tactics , cards etc has chanched the game and the type of player to the past England won in 2003- many moons back. To be fair to the players you should not compare them now to the modern day player. Unles ,like this podcast, it is done for a bit of banter. . SO How many soccer player goats from England 1966 soccer team compared to France 2018, and Argentina 2022 lol.

If Jonno is captain then: Richard Hill to replace Richie McCaw at 7. Of course no one can agree with this but you are all wrong.

Duane Vermulean! Hang your heads in shame. Conrad Smith was so underrated. Rwc11, no teams could go wide cos his defence was causing turnovers. French in the final would get minimal metres up the middle so take it wide, Smith would tackle whoever it was behind the gain line, and nz would win the breakdown. It was constant. By rwc15, nz had become such an attacking force, Nonu got more attention, and rightly so, but Smith was NZs most important player of rwc11 imo, and was always the rock of the backline while he was there. Anyway, fun game. Do one for rwc87, 95, and 99 next. Yes I'm old enough for opinions on them

Barrett and Dagg are better. Cullen is living off of easy years in rugby. It’s easy to score when everyone is worried about Jonah.

No he missed 95 by a year, got picked out of position in 99 and not selected 03. John Hart was an idiot. He had the ABs BEST ever back 3 in Lomu Goldie and Cully and he decided to play musical chairs in 99, playing Cully on the right wing, and trying to make him an outside centre during the tournament. Then in the 03 RWC, Mitchell decided that Cully, who was NZs best FB in 03 Super rugby, wasn't good enough, not even as back up when one of the ABs were injured. They selected a player that went on to have a 1 test career.
