British & Irish legend and respected rugby scribe Sir Ian McGeechan has picked his top 5 greatest wingers to have ever graced the game…
Major stars miss out from his selection.
5. Jason Robinson (England)
- Major teams: British and Irish Lions, England
- Test caps: 56
- Test tries: 30
“He made such an impact on the game when moving from rugby league. He had dazzling feet that meant he so often beat the first defender and, like most top wingers, you could play off him as well as him being such a devastating finisher.”
DID YOU KNOW?! He was nicknamed ‘Billy Whizz‘ after a character in the British comic The Beano, who is an extremely fast runner.
