Comments on: Wilson ranks Smith the number one No.7 http://www.theroar.com.au/2010/02/06/wilson-ranks-smith-the-number-one-no-7/ Your Sports Opinion Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:49:06 +0000 hourly 1 By: OldManEmu http://www.theroar.com.au/2010/02/06/wilson-ranks-smith-the-number-one-no-7/comment-page-1/#comment-292410 OldManEmu Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:42:09 +0000 http://www.theroar.com.au/?p=27571#comment-292410 Those comments attributed to Wilson are extraordinarily gracious and may I say not accurate. Wilson was abetter openisde flanker than Smith. Wilson is the best Australian No 7 I have seen and shaded only by Olivier Magne as the best I have ever seen. Wilson was like a Penfolds 389 - good every time. Consistently tough and dependable and a World Cup winner. An integral part of two Queensland Super Rugby winning sides. From the early signs Heinrich Broussow has shown however he may eclipse Wilson in the hallowed halls of OME greatness. This years Tri Nations will be a classic. The wily and elastic McCaw (will he survive another season when the referees have declared an intent to be togher at the tackle) versus a double team of Pocock and Waugh versus a double team of Broussow and Burger?

Simon Poidevin deserves a shout too. George is in fine company. It’s times like these I wish I had seen Col Windon play so I could know who the best ever is. Simon Poidevin deserves a shout too.
