'He's the best... the only one who comes close to him is Cheslin Kolbe'

Gee I dont know. At least Cheslin can beat Scotland….

And after Scotland taught France a rugby lesson today you could see two things: Kolbe streets better and has proven it beyond any southern/northern doubt; and Fourie du Preex never played as badly Antoine du Pont (never ever) and yet the north keeping pumping how great he is. His performance very very poor. Only plays reasonably well in France

Wouldn't Will Jordan be up there as a top winger/fullback. He has scored 45 tries in 54 games. Chesin Kolbe is nowhere near that strike rate

Good article

It’s adorable when the SH thickos pipe in to spew. Shows the dangers of a third world education to the civilised world.

Untill he plays SH sides, then he looks pretty ordinary.

I wish the rugby world would stop this best player BS. It's nothing short of stupid.

Nobody will argue about the top echelon of wingers. There are maybe two dozen that you would say are/were awesome. But pub debates about Lomu vs Biele-Biarray are just drunken time wasting.

Game plans win games. NZ failed in the 1995 RWC final because SA executed a better game plan. Lomu was successfully contained and NZ had no plan B. Similarly, Kolbe, BBA, Duhan and other wingers will all be measured on how they maximize the game plan, not on how they deliver heroics.

Fans and commentators don't like that because it's simpler and more fun to talk about heros.

LLB is Great to watch and hopefully get better and possibly be one of the greats, Kolbe is on another level to LLB and has showcased that for us all to see.

Brian Habana scored 57 international tries in a Bok team that kicked everything. He also scored those tried mainly playing in the Tri-Nations which had the 3 best teams that won the most World Cups amongst them.

LLB is playing against teams like Italy and Wales. He did nothing against the Boks in 2 outings and was made to look pretty average. To say he is better than Kolbe is laughable. Kolbe is more complete than both Habana and Lomu.

The Boks have wings that can catch LBB, hence, zero tries vs Boks. Arendse chased him down shortly after half-time last November.

LBB cannot side-step, needs open space or chip ahead. Kolbe has the step to make room.

I’m always rolling my eyes with those comparisons. Could we stop comparing people to Lomu and Habana, please? LBB is great at the moment, he’s a massive talent, but he needs years at the very top, and international silverware to earn the right to be mentioned in the same sentence with the two best wingers in history.

It’s like comparing every fly half to Carter and Wilkinson. I understand, that Zebs is trying to create a headline, but this is too tacky, too tabloid-y.

Let’s meet again in 10 years and evaluate LBB’s career.

LBB better than Cheslin Kolbe is a stretch, great player though.

No doubt LBB is an exceptional player but his two outings against the Boks have been disastrous. Couldn’t handle the high ball in the World Cup game and the Boks scored two tries down the left flank. And last year he went MIA until he intentionally slapped down a pass and got yellow carded. Seems he is great on the front foot but not so much when his forwards are being bullied and going backwards.

Sure. But Kolbe’s dad will beat LBB’s dad in a fight.
