But a few other ideas to lob into the mix…

* Gert Muller instead of Jonah Lomu
* Piet Spiere Du Toit instead of Ken Gray
* Danie Craven instead of Gareth Edwards.
* At #8 I’d go for Hennie Windhond Muller because Benoit Dauga was always a natural lock, along with Walter Spanghero, and never a real #8 !
* Bennie Osler instead of Phil Bennett… the triumphant 1937 Bok tour to New Zealand?

I’m proud to be a madala, and not an umfaan or a madoda.

He was worth FIVE of the opposition backs all by himself on attack and his defence and positional play was just flawless.

Now there’s a legend after my own heart!

(Mind you, I’d easily pick Piston van Wyk ahead of Gys Pitzer.)

And where’s the peerless Jan Ellis? That was one helluva meneer!

Bennie Osler was a frikken genius. Dan Carter is a very well trained professional. I don’t even rate Carter as the best in the world right now let alone ever. ie: Wilko whom he imitates.

To be honest the only guy that I might concede as the best #10 ever was Grant Fox. God I hated that guy for all the right reasons.

Bokster & Onlooker. I agree that Blanco might surpass JPR but I didn’t want to say so because I never got to see JPR but everyone puts him in the same category as Edwards. Blanco and Joubert are my two favourite 15′s that I have ever seen.

Fitzpatrick? Perhaps on a snowy day in the Namib.

Carl du Plesisss is also losing out because of the few tests he played, btw, physically he wasn’t much smaller than Lomu.
If you saw Dannie Gerber scoring 3 tries against the ABs at Ellis Park in 1992 at the tender age of 34 with Walter Little and Frank Bunce trying to stop him, it’s a wonder how could you leave him out?
Uli Shmidt and Louis Moolman wrestled there with the best of them and came on top, especially Uli: acombination of power, speed, athletism and rugby brain that I haven’t seen before and after.

I’d rather have Dan Carter in there.

And who could forget Sean Fitzpatrick at HOOKER! For all his ****, he was great!

I will kick out Theron and Muller’s twin brothers and put Kleintjips and Slappies. But only if they are on form. I am thinking about putting Ollie Le Roux at 9. What do you think?
