Time to pick your Best All time Springbok and All Time World XV wings.
The All Blacks have numerous world class finishers and their 15-man game plan gives wings more opportunities with ball in hand. Jonah Lomu was enormous and score 37 tries in the 63 caps for the mighty All Blacks. However, the fact remains that Lomu never scored a try against the Boks in Tests!
David Campese, another legend, won games and also lost games. He all most single-handedly won the 'holy grail' in 1991 for the Wallabies. Campo was the 'Muhammad Ali' of rugby as it was not just his range of skills on the field, but, also his mouth off the field that could influence games. He also played with the number 11 although he was a right wing … the audacity!
Carel du Plessis is regarded as the 'Prince of Wings' and Apartheid robbed the world to have experienced his brilliance.
I know wings are also specialised either right or left, but, I will pick the two wings who gets the most votes for the Readers' teams.
