non-aussie Tana Umaga. Very damaging and was sadly missed by the all blacks in 03 WC.
Richie McCaw. You just cant stop him, he seems to be everywhere.
Aussie Phil kearns. Brought some professionalism to the Aussie team, I think inspired a new generation of hookers.
John Eales. Had all the skills.
Bernie Larkham. His ability to put the defence on the backfoot.

Sergio Parisse. Brillant eightman and always gives his all for his country. I also admire the athleticism of Imanol Harinordoquy & Kieran Reid and Wycliff Palu's physicality.
Burglar Bill (Martyn Williams), BOD and Big Morty are a few others that come to mind.
And I supppose Humphreys Senior & Junior and that big bastard Ferris as well if I put my Ulster hat on.

I do remember myself liking him back in the day but i can't seem to remember why...
The 'Rugby Rivalries' on Fox have been pretty interesting. Good to re-watch some of the old games. Saw the 2004 game Tah's v Brumbies and M. Burke was very good in that game. Albeit the Tahs chose to let him go after that season...

I have noticed there is a bit of Shmoo love around here which is great. Not much for poor old Elsom which isn't a great considering he is meant to be the Australian captain who leads us to a World Cup, maybe that will come.

I am sure that if he is captain of a world cup winning team there will be a lot more enthusiasm for Rocky

Pierre Spies. Sensational athlete, probably the first rugby player that's physical attributes come close to matching some of the elite specimens in the NFL

Palu would be up there with NFL size And Chisholm. Spies has got some pace though. I think lomu could have played in the NFL.
Go the force!!!!

While guys may have the bodies and physical attributes to play gridiron, the games are sooooo different I think it'll be a long time before anyone successfully makes that cross-over if ever.
Look at how difficult it can be for players to switch between rugby and league. Having played all 3 codes but especially rugby and gridiron, the difference even at the lowest levels is quite considerable.
BTW - favourite players: Lomu, Cullen, Umaga, Olo Brown and Brian Lima - just for his pure hitting ability.
Fav Wallabies: Larkham, George Smith, Latham and Pocock is amazing ATM.

I reckon SBW would be a top NFL player had he been born in the states. That blokes an athletic freak... Lomu obviously also.
Don't think anyone would make the switch though - either way. I remember some college footballers from the States coming out to play league years ago. They didn't go too well if memory serves...
