top 3

1. the French git
2. the kiwi git
3. The other kiwi git

There's mine

The Kiwi junior rugby world cup full back. looks frightening with ball in hand.

I think is name is Mckensie or Mackintosh. somthing like that.

Lee Mears... well if you count danger to his own team???

James O'Connor. There's a video of him stepping 6 springboks from a standstill in half a metre of space. There's also Genia and Beale from the Aussies, and Ioane, and Pietersen who is back

can you please put up a poll?
I always wanted to vote for a git................Oh wait.........The last election..........

O'Connor, Beale, Cooper, Genia, Carter, Dagg, SBW. That's not in a particular order.

During the world cup, I thought Nonu was one of the most dangerous guys on the pitch by a fair bit.

Also, North and Cuthbert are key danger men for Wales, but they aren't used enough IMO.

Oh and D'Arcy. For Ireland.

Morne Steyn.

The player who the opposition will fear when they have the ball

Shane Williams (the best in 2008)
Brian O'Driscoll (for about 10 years)
Sonny Bill Williams (when he goes into contact)
Quade Cooper (when on form)
Will Genia (especially recently )
Kurtley Beale
Israel Dagg
James O'Connor
Digby Ioane
George North
and on current form, JP Pieterson.

Ronan O'Gara

Digby Ionne i would say,

I was also impressed with JP Pieterson for the Boks this series...power, pace, good lines

Hannibal Lector

Conrad Smith
when he gets it there's a try acomin for our 11,14 or 15

Mutu'u without the ball and Beale/Digby with it.

Surely it depends whose ball is in the hand.

I've heard those French forwards are quite handy with balls in hand

Genia (beat Wales on his own first test) SBW just class

I was about 25m away from Genia when he took that high ball (midway through 2nd half) and did a backhand (left-handed) 30m pass to Beale. The guy has some amazing composure and skill. To see it all in real time was incredible.

His upcoming matches against Cruden will be a classic rugby encounter between 2 of the best in-form players.
Both are a cut above the rest and have the best backs outside of them to inflict serious damage on an opposition defense.

Cruden's a 10

doh!... 'the halves' then.

Smith and Genia will be an interesting show down. Thought Genia has had a slow year, but he lit up in G1, wow. Has he still got the wheels, seems less nippy, has he bulked up?

He is so short but has a huge chest for his size. I think he still has the speed but he is one of the most clever runners with the ball I've seen from the Wallabies in a while.

He's tough for a small guy alright. He certainly did the crusaders and ABs with explosive bursts of speed and clever runs. He exploded onto the scene, perhaps 2nd year blues with s15 form, but he did do the damage in G1 for sure.
