What a alien player…It' s funny to see that the 2 best midfielders in the history of that sport has been at the same time and under the same colours: Sonny and Nonu
SBW was a legend. Probably was not shown enough respect by many AB fans because he dared to dream beyond the AB’s in a beautiful country but where AB’s is the end all and it is a sin to dream beyond the AB’s. In time, he might be recognised as NZ’s greatest SPORTSMAN.
“Midfield maestro” yet half of his highlights are him scoring the rugby equivalent of a tap-in goal in football. High overrated and was a much better league than union player. Never deserved to be an All Black realistically

The boxing world is waiting for you to fight Gallen.
I tend not to remember his tries..
What remains vivid in my mind from his skills was his ability to pinpoint a dwarf in the misty mountains somewhere which always led to a try..
That ability of his is what really pissed me off as an opposition supporter..
Most of his tries came on a plate but his offloading antics and finding ghosts to score tries was frustrating..
Nuff respect!!
Cost us against the lions with another of his retarded brain farts, that’s all I’m going to remember
third try. well in front of the kicker.
i miss watching this guy play
Absoltely a game breaker
Beautiful and artful player
cant believe he played along mounga, alb & goodhue in rwc19.
he deserved better inside & outside partner for himself.
MIdfield maestro and rank homophobe.
So much more rounded as a player when he moved to union.

Midfield maestro is reserved for Danie Gerber I'm afraid.
An awesome player and an awesome person. One of my favourite All Blacks.
He won't be remembered as one of the great All Blacks, not even close to the best, just got more publicity, which he craved.
They put in a lot of hard work to get to that level of athleticism
Brilliant distributor but Damian de Allende trampled him and dragged him 10/15 metres each time.
One of the best of all time!!!

Fabulous player, I loved watching him play.
as a offensive player no center could match him……his size and power …….

He was excellent, but never really reached the heights he should have got to.
really not that impressive
Chiefs! Chiefs! Chiefs! Chiefs! Chiefs! Chiefs! Chiefs!
Sbw
My fave all rounder for a million reasons
