I have been watching THE RWC games again and tests this year.
The contribution of Cheslin Kolbe has been immense.
Has there ever been anybody who can run like this guy?
Look at this example.
Jonah Lomu?
Some say the Prince was the greatest
Moffie desperately looking for alternatives . . . because he once claimed Cheslin was too small for test rugby.
LMAO!
Peeper like a bad odor seeps in and tries to start another spat.
I don't much see a point in trying to pinpoint "the best". Enjoy each player on their own merits. I can enjoy Kolbe as much as I can enjoy Cullen, Robinson, Arendse or any of the other great runners in rugby past and present.
Nobody can compare with the running skills. I mean nobody.
Now we have ou Pakster trying to suggest Arendse is some sort of equivalent. Hahahahaha. What poor Judgement.
Arendse will only score more tries if set up better than Kolbe.
Arendse doesn't score the type of tries Kolbe does. He doesn't have that level of running skill. Not nearly.
Arendse is a poor man's Kolbe.
Arendse is a great finisher.
Cheslin is a great finisher and he's a creator.
There's the difference.
Also, note how during games Arendse pretty much sticks to his left wing while Cheslin pops up all over the place looking for work.
I like Kurt-Lee Arendse a lot but Cheslin Kolbe is next level.
Yes indeed Kolbe is next level. His kicking game is great, His taking of the high ball is great especially for a short guy. He is good on defence and he reads the game very well and works very hard. great contributor!
Christian Cullen was the best. He had such a great swerve on him and never slowed down. Could just glide and cut through teams. When he got the ball he could just see the field and new how to throw defenders off. He was so quick and so hard to stop.
I agree that Kolbe work rate 2nd to none. Different era with these two players. Would Cullen be as effective now that the teams have become so defensive and players are better conditioned, who knows.
Based on pure running and effectiveness, Cullen any day.
