5 Greatest players by position
Unashamedly nicking the idea from Jones and Barnes in The Times, though they have gone with top 10s, list your top 5 players of all time for each position, don’t have to be in any particular order.
So as to avoid long lists do a position at a time starting with loose heads.
Ayerza
Woodcock
Du Randt
McLaughlin

Genia above Gregan? Madness! Aaron Smith should be above them both.

Melville probably England’s last world class 9 as you say career tragically short. Also agree about Holmes though didn’t he go to leagueLongshanks wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 4:51 pmI'll throw 2 more names in there, neither of whom won the caps their talent deserved:
