Elsom is the only player I ever saw best Ferris over 80 minutes at Ravenhill. Leinster gubbed us that day.

True but Stevie handed him off like a fly about to take a sip of his protein shake.

I remember dreaming of Matt Sexton as Head Coach, with Muller looking after the forwards and Steinmetz educating the backs.

Then I woke up and remembered Les Kiss.

Felipe and Ruan joint second followed by the Brennan Nacewa. Had Ruan left us with a SH option as a product of his work then he'd be top of the pile.
Maybe it's wishful thinking but Elsom arrived at Leinster at the same time as Gibbes. Given the impact Gibbes is supposed to have had on Leinster's pack in his time there, I can't help but feel that the impact on the whole pack is falsely attributed to Elsom. I don't want to detract from Elsom's impact on the pitch during his time with Leinster, of course.

As for Warwick... >jawdrop

If we are going top 10:

(1) Contepomi; (2) Pienaar; (3) Stander; (4) Muller; (5) Howlett; (6) Payne; (7) Elsom; (8) Hines; (9) Botha; (10) Steinmetz

Elsom moves down my list because he really didn't spend very long in Ireland... Thorn was contestable for me: (1) He wasn't in Ireland very long; (2) Although he was good, he didn't play his best rugby at Leinster; and (3) He should never have bloody been there!
Does Payne and Stander count as they are 'irish'? And if they do count then do they go up even higher as they have made an impact for Ireland? The Ulster lads won fek all in terms of major trophies so I think Elsom has to be right up there and Nacewa. I remember reading that Elsom won a ridiculous number of MOTM's on the bounce. IN saying that I loved watching Steiner back in the day - very intelligent player and hard as nails.

A retrograde step that will simply reinforce the countries with large playing populations remaining preeminent.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Time for the smaller nations to identify some players quickly and get them qualified, on another note I notice the Non Irishman Joe Lydon along with everyone's favourite Aussie Nucifora are identifying IQ players not plying their trade in Ireland with the plan to bring them back to the provinces.
