Andrew Harriman, Paul Ackford, Bob Hillier, Daren O'Leary (if
not just since the Pro-era) are missing in my opinion, at least
from the discussion.

The article is basically click bait, guess it's just the
"biggest" names rather than any actual assessment of their
contribution in that position for the club.
Jones is obvs one of the best ever and a total legend -- but
none of that legend really comes from his time with us.
His greatest contribution for us has been turning Sink into the
player he is now -- from not great at scrummaging "trouble"
(media only) into England's best player of the autumn.

Mind you, Bomb was also pretty spectacular when at very short
notice he went from being on a weekend off to playing 74minutes
on the Loosehead side against Northampton in the last season he
played for us!

- No Andre Vos either(!!)
- Nor Jamie Salmon. Keith 'Uncle Fester' Wood. Dan Luger was
part of the 2013 RWC winning team too.
-Interesting, innit? - Brown vs Hiller (or Jim Staples?), Vos vs
Robshaw, Moore vs Wood...…… etc etc
- One thing is sure, we'd have one hellova bench!

Gray, Johnston, Kohn, Robson, Fa'asavalu, Robshaw, Easter.

I was discussing that performance at a dinner just last night.
Those 74 minutes are probably the fastest transition to
legendary status I've seen in a sportsman. But if we consider
him at loosehead I am not sure he'd displace either Marler or
Leonard.

Wood vs Moore is a real close contest, reflecting their real
life rivalry ;)

Peter Winterbottom vs Robshaw would have been an interesting
contest as well - I know they are both included here - but they
really personify the differences in the amateur and the
professional game for me. Natural flair and agression vs Pure
work rate.
Disappointed that Ackford isn't in there as well. It won't be a
popular view, I know, but I firmly believe that if Dooley and
Ackford were pros now, they would absolutely pound a pairing
like Etzebeth and De Jaager or Whitelock and Retallick, just on
sheer agression alone.
Ah, the 80s. Them were the days.....

Robshaw's skillset was a mile ahead of Winterbottom. Can't
imagine Winters ever putting in the sort of all-court display
that Robshaw would regularly produce at 7, and he was never as
good an international flanker.
