Noone ever mentions Daniel Herbert. You can't rightfully credit Horan without mentioning Herbert. Centres before the ELVs had better passing in the face of the defence, and short passing game. Skills were higher.

I would have had Sela ahead of all but Gerber...Bunce 3rd and then Horan.
Edit...BOD 3rd and then Bunce and Horan...Horan and Little was a great pair...like Nonu and Smith, JdV and JF.

Gerber was in a class of his own....probably the best Springbok back ever.

Guscott no chance in hell
Not convinced about Bunce either - was a hard man but hardly a Gerber or BOD

I fully agree on Danie Gerber...best 13 by far. Pieter Muller (at 12) and Danie at 13 would have made a formidable pairing but Pieter is about 10 or 11 years younger...it's a pity these players were not born later and in the same age group.
