Influence as Captain: McCaw
The Dark Arts of Scrummaging: Hayman
Most effective lifting in the lineout: Maybe the Saffers props. Probably is actually Hayes. He's good for something. :eek:
Most Accurate Lineout thrower: Fla or whoever the Saffers use.
Lineout catcher and operator(organiser & callmaker): V Matfeld
The best groundhog: H Brussouw. Or McCaw. Or Pollock.
Tackling: Dusatoir
Hardest hitting tackler: Ferris.
A Polynesian really though.
Soft Hands: Malcolm O'Kelly.
Best ball carrier off the back of the scrum: Parisse.
Boxkicker: F Du Preez
Goalkicker: D Carter
Up and under: Kearney
Punt and field positioning: D Carter
Passer: D Carter
Hand off: Not sure really.
Offload: S Parisse
Eye for a gap: BO'D
Intercept: James Hook.
I'd have thought De Villiers might be in here, or O'Driscoll.
Pace: N'Gwenya
Fielder: (catch under the highball): Kearney0 -
Influence as Captain: John Smit
Most Accurate Lineout thrower: Bismarck Du Plessis
Lineout catcher and operator(organiser & callmaker): Victor Matfeld
The best groundhog: Davey Pocock
Tackling: Pocock again
Best ball carrier off the back of the scrum: Heaslip (Spies only carries off the base well when the scrum isnt under pressure)
Boxkicker: Fourie Du Preez
Goalkicker: Morne Steyn
Up and under: Lee Byrne
Passer: Stringer (still one of the best in the world)
Offload: Stephen Ferris
Eye for a gap: Keith Earls
Pace: Zee N'Gwenya
Fielder: (catch under the highball): Kearney
Some of my own attributes:
Spacial awareness in defense: BOD (honestly one of his best attributes, he knows that if he shoots and misses his man the gap behind him will be covered. Rarely makes mistakes in that aspect of his game.)
Intelligence (rugby brain): Parisee/Harinorduquy/Heaslip. (imo the position that requires the most intelligence in general is no. 8 and you cant get much better than these guys.)
Cheekiest, most annoying/mischievous: Alan Quinlan
Coolest name: If this was an all time list it would be Izak Petrus van der Westhuizen but as for modern times it has to be Bismarck Du Plessis
My personal heroes: Os Du Randt, Francois Pienaar, Keith Wood, Joel Stransky
Greatest moment in rugby history: Mandela unifying South Africa for that one day in 1995 when the Boks outlasted the All Blacks. Pity that legacy was not a lasting one.
