Who am I?

If its grafters ye lust after then I was one of the greatest.

In the past you could hear me roar against the All Black, rock Australia too but now I am found in the hall.

27th Jan 1973, kinda rhymes with me.

Answer:

Im bored. Usual rules, winner posts a new one. Plenty of clues there so just guess..............................

Lions legend, Fergus Slattery

Derek Quinnell ?

Who are you?

That's a very tempting question...

CJ must have it no?

Good work Chequered Jersey, you're up. What gave it away?

Was it the anagram of his name? The subliminal reference to his school Blackrock or his status as a hall of famer or his participation in the great BaBas v NZ match?

The anagram to be honest, bold text shouting out to me

Ah damn it I should have looked at that closer really.

I too now live in the Hall, but prior to this men have found me amongst the fair winds, in the city of light or thinking on the past.

I have played in 3 big cups and one shorter cup, and led my people from the front. As an outsider I led the French to victory, the first to do so, like Napolean.

I missed playing for one cat against another cat, but played for the hoard.

I am The Great. I am Small. Who am I?

Serge Blanco?

Nope

He's one of my favourite players of all time

Ah it must be Hugo Porta. Buenos aires, Paris, etc? Or Pichot. Some Argie anyway?

Which one?

Not sure because I dont get the lead the french to victory. However, given your age it must be Pichot?

Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe?

Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe?

Correct. The first non-French player to captain a side to the French Cup in 2007 with Stade Francais. Agustin mean the Great one, Pichot means little, played in 3 RWCs and a 7s WC and captained the Pumas but never played the Lions. Played in Buenos Aires, Paris and the Memorial Ground.

And of course in the IRB hall of fame

Nice one. Fair winds put me on the right track.

I skipped out half the clues and went with Lobbe based on the Lions vs Pumas and the Toulon Heineken Cup win

Will have a go at one, even if I didn't win!
 
I grew up not far from the Boot, but the Winds made my name.

My 7 has never been broken
 
I started further out with the friend of the whale, but the 5 nations saw me in the middle
 
My play was never the same, but the stag gave me some games.

Its a tough one. Diego Dominguez?

I know it! Christian Cullen?

Stag as in Munster?

Jonah and the whale?

7 tries in 7s in one match.

It must be him.

Who am I?

Yep, Cullen!

Grew up near Wellington (Boot), made his name with the Hurricanes (Winds)

7 tries in first 2 Tests (3 vs Samoa, 4 vs Scotland)

Started at full back (further out) with the friend of the whale (Jonah and the whale = Jonah Lomu), 5 nations (1999 WC held in about 5 countries :p) saw me in the middle (games in the centre)

And yep, finished with Munster (stag on the logo)
