Advent 17

Today my favourite modern rugby player - not the greatest albeit very,very good. Richard Hill was perhaps the least lauded in that famous England RWC winning back-row but for me he was the most complete footballer. He was capped all across the back-row and it should not be forgotten that he was the chosen No. 7 in the Lions winning test sides in South Africa in 1997. On the next Lions tour (Australia 2001) it was the unlawful assault on him by Nathan Grey that marked the turning point in the series. Maybe not the GOAT but some player.
