Former All Blacks captain Sean Fitzpatrick once named his greatest rugby XV of all time, and two Welsh legends made the cut.
The 1987 World Cup winner included eight New Zealanders, four Englishmen, two Welshmen and one Irishman in a side packed with some of the biggest names the sport has ever seen.
There was no room for Jonny Wilkinson, Shane Williams or Alun Wyn Jones. Not exactly bad company to be left out in.
Fitzpatrick's selection, covered by WalesOnline, showed just how much admiration he had for the great Wales side of the 1970s.
His two Welsh selections were Gareth Edwards and JPR Williams, both members of the famous 1971 British & Irish Lions side that won a Test series in New Zealand.
Edwards was an obvious choice for the former All Blacks skipper, who admitted: "Gareth Edwards was my hero."
He also revealed that his earliest rugby idols weren't necessarily wearing black.
"My first rugby heroes weren't All Blacks but British Lions," he explained.
Fitzpatrick was equally enthusiastic about Williams, declaring: "It has to be JPR."
The Welsh full-back helped inspire a generation of young rugby fans in New Zealand following the Lions' historic triumph in 1971.
And when you look at the rest of Fitzpatrick's team, it is difficult to argue with many of his choices.
