Rugby giant!
28/ 5/2008
THE ultimate Guinness Premiership rugby player would have the hair of Sebastien Chabal, the right boot of Charlie Hodgson and the strength of Andrew Sheridan, according to a panel of rugby experts.
The brewers of Guinness unveiled the Anglo-French giant that comprises body parts from players in the Premiership.
The judging panel of rugby journalists were asked to vote across nine categories ranging from ‘best rugby brain’ to ‘best cauliflower ears’ to create the definitive rugby-playing powerhouse.
The result sees Sharks players make up a third of the ultimate player: the right boot of flyhalf Hodgson allied with the strength and size of prop Sheridan and topped off with the iconic locks of No.8 Chabal.
Gloucester’s James Simpson-Daniel, who was voted best hands, said: "There are so many outstanding players in the Guinness Premiership that to even be considered is a real honour and a privilege - I am just glad something like that doesn’t actually exist!"
