Battle of the Rugby World Cup players

Stefano

School Boy/Girl Captain
Nick Farr-Jones.

He is one of my sport heroes. I have never been a Lomu's fan. He was an amazing athlete, but I have never considered him a great rugby player. If you gave him the ball, he would score a try after destroying the opposing players. I remember the first try he scored vs England in the 1995 World Cup. He simply crushed into Mike Catt, who fell at the ground...

But was Lomu a good defender? He was hopless when the opponents kicked at him... I have always preferred players like John Kirwan or David Campese.

Then, Nick Farr-Jones is one of my sport heroes, so I vote for him!

Jonny Wilkinson (England)




The All-Black's princely flanker goes up against England's most reliable left boot and the man who, more than anyone, brought the trophy north of the equator for the first time.

Wilkinson? Come'on people. What the hell are you doing voting him above Jones. Get real. Jones debuted in the 87' WC, scored the opening try, won the cup, played in the 91 WC and scored the 1st try in that one also. Wilkinson kicked a few goals for England.

Wilkinson won us the World Cup. Yes, we had a good pack, and Robinson, but without Wilkinson, the trophy was Aus... hell, it was anyone apart from our's.
