and the fights:

@Wairau TBH, aside from the ABs and Japan I'd rather the Boks win.

@Nepia Ha, yes, I think you are right.
I sent the following to a SA friend, some fantastic rugby.

@Daffy-Jaffy I like how Howlett was worried that Ralph wouldn't be quick enough to get the ball so ran him and the English defenders down to score the try.

@Nepia Ralph woulda got there if Dougie wasnt offside

Camera angle man, and he got checked going through.

Sometimes forget how good Mils was as a running fullback back in those days.

I just do (early on-set dementia?), maybe because I compare him with the gold standard Rangi (I'm not @Chris-B) Cullen, and remember him as the solid all round fullback he was more than the attacking dynamo.

Mils is our 2nd best FB is have seen. Great runner, really good at bringing his wingers in to the game. He's the man. One of my favourite ABs of the past 20 years (probably 2nd behind Kaino)

I'd probably go Cullen, Kipper, Mils of the ones I've seen.

Agree with you on Kaino for favourite AB of the last 20 years.

And beautifully soft, fast hands. The amount of tries he was the last one to put someone away.

So reliable too, at both ends. Barely made mistakes. And that Franck Bunce temperament.

Kipper can't compete with Cullen in terms of sheer brilliance (despite being quite brilliant himself) or with Mils in terms of longevity
