    All of the old guard I've spoken to, even those who didnt fancy Rugby too much, said that Naas was an absolute genius. They would say he was critised for always being clean but then counter it by saying he was just that good at reading the game that always evaded everyone. It was like he had a telepathic relationship with the ball. He was before my time, but when enough people tell you a similar thing, he must have been some player!

    Without doubt, Naas. Left foot or right foot, place kick, drop kick or line kick, it made no difference to him. If the other team kicked for the line he was underneath. His only weakness was that he didn't tackle. He literally single handedly won games for teams. And I was a WP supporter at the time.
