This is usually the time of year for lists and retrospectives, as nothing else is happening (would that be the case right now....).
The following list from WalesonLine however is well worth a look (for me) as it evokes both some names and memories seemingly long forgotten.

Not a bad list
Surprised Gethin Jenkins was as high as he was.
I would have nudged Graham Price a little higher but there is stiff competition at the top of that list

My pick is Dai Morris at No 20. À blindside forward of small stature when compared to today’s players. He was a hard-as-nails indefatigable player who was one of my unsung heroes. They don’t make ‘‘em like him any more.
