[@mogamatismaeeldavids664]

Best no 8 ever class

[@ungarr]

A legend in is own mind

[@freddietrich825]

He was the boss no mistake in western cape south africa we call him a "lanie"

[@mcdonaldmlanga2881]

To my mind he is the best rugby player to have ever lived

[@Thespacecadet187]

The best #8 to ever play the game

[@Boolyrugby]

What a beast I named my cat after him

[@steffanhoffmann]

A one-off. Especially the drop goal against England.

[@brentinnes5151]

was standing back to back at a party turned around and just looked up at these massive shoulders and tall..he was a monster..oh and he had silky skills, he started off in 7s...is definitely my all time no 8 All Black....and this from a fan of 60s 70s ABs

[@alanduff6]

Absolute best!

[@MarsFKA]

2:49 The All Blacks' version of the Going brothers' - Sid, Ken and Brian - "special", when they all played for Northland. Same again at 4:46 .

[@estoforte388]

[@godisbollocks]

I'd have Zinny at number 8 in my all-time All Blacks team

[@rugbymad-r1y]

6-micheal jones 8 -zinzan 7-ritchie mcaw greatest all black loosies

[@cheshunt5597]

Signed with Manly Sea Eagles and then changed his mind.

[@duncanharris9479]

At the end of his career, he came over to England to play for Harlequins. He was OK, but not great. He tried coaching, but that didn't go very well.

[@brentinnes5151]

all older players go to England when they are about to retire...in his best years there were non better or tougher

[@micpotato8158]

Yeah one of those players etched in the memories of anybody rugby
