Not that much bigger than Back, but never got the size comments. He and Skrela were a fantastic pair

Excellent list JP. I would probably have either Syd Going or Jon Hipwell ahead of Genia, both a lot before your time
Dawie de Villiers should be up there too!
Genia above Gregan? Madness! Aaron Smith should be above them both.
It was alphabetically listed.

Pienaar was a 6, I would add Pierre Spies to that list.

Spies? Great athlete,a supreme one who could've played any sport he tried. Great rugby player? Not for me.

It may be sacrilege but wouldn’t have Dusty in there.
Ben Smith or Percy Montgomery maybe
