Rugby Onslaught blog : The 50 Best Rugby Players in the World in
2020

Thought this might be of interest ... instead of starting at
No.50 Quins supporters might want to skip straight to Nos.33 &
14 ... all based on analytics (allegedly) 😄

Before the keyboard warriors get too agitated they might want to
consider 2 things ...
(1) ... “A prophet is not without honour except in his own
country” ... Mark 6:4
(2) ... “You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone” ... Joni
Mitchell ... “Big Yellow Taxi”

Blimey.
Whoever did that list does not watch a lot of rugby.

"Keyboard Warriors", not sure what you are getting at here??
As for the description -
14. Danny Care
A no brainer on this one. The former England scrum-half put in
some world-beating performances for Harlequins over 2020 with
many fans and critics alike seeing this 33-year-old as the
world’s greatest 9 on the planet.
As much as I love Care, this is....well rubbish tbh. "Greatest
9 on the planet". On current form I am not sure he is the best
9 at Quins!!!
Care has been fantastic for Quins but, The good performances
seem to be coming less frequent, and the poor ones becoming the
norm rather than the exception. I said I was disappointed about
the news of a new deal. Reason being, I am guessing that he will
not be cheap, and based on what I have said, I dont think he
should be a shoe in starter each week.

As a follow on, I cant see it happening but if we were looking
for a replacement, Tate McDermott (who is on the list) would be
my choice. I watch quite a bit of Queensland (An old flame was a
fan) so I still follow them. Cracking young player

Care @14 but no Mike Brown? Umaga @19 but Smith @33? Still
that's the point of lists like this, it gets people talking.
Goes to show analytics aren't everything.

No Sam Simmonds or Vakatawa? Not sure what the author of this
list has been smoking.

Ridiculous, we could all put a list of 50 together and be
different but can't really believe any of us would have Care in,
North at No 8 is strange. No Curry or Billy V. What the list
should be is best 3 in each position.
Can I start with scrum half - Faf de Klerk, DuPont and Aaron
Smith
Who wants to go next

Rugby Onslaught is about as clickbaity as it gets with rugby.
Proper z-tier tabloid trash.
We've made it as a sport!
