as well as being a great player, a great captain, a credit to the game of rugby, decent to the core whether  on or off the field, a good commentator and as humble as you like.....take a bow, Nick Farr-Jones.

Yes indeed how could one go past the great Nick Farr-Jones ? Hes a nice fella like Horan and Little he spent time visiting country clubs and that when they won the RWC .

The names Horan, Little and Lynagh have been thrown into the mix, one could easily add John Eales and Kearnsy as well and there's probably a  few more I can't think of right now but then suddenly you think of some of the present day shits, and whereas  the former had pride in the jumper, the likes of JOC, Beale and Quade Cooper appear to have none as they drag the game through the mud.

@Cloudy. We see a lot of Lynagh in the UK. He is always the studio guest in the Sky Studios when Aus are playing. Him and Fitzie always pair up when it is OZ and NZ and it is good to see how he is so much brighter than Fitzie. We are however cursed with Thinus Delport form an SA point of view. Of the three I would have Micheal, followed by Sean and then daylight and then good ole Thinus.

will agree to disagree Cloudy, but hey unlike some of the shits running around these days, it's fair to say them two had a deep seated pride in representing their country.

About Farr-Jones, quite often see him at Waratah games quietly chatting with one or two persons,I'm always tempted to interupt and thank him for what he represents but I can never get myself to do it. Oh well....

"He will know what its for He will know what its for"

 

I'm sure he will, don't know what it is that stops me, it's probably the unaasuming, down to earth bubble that he's in that stops me......
