Top players reflect on their greatest achievements
For the majority of players, winning a major tournament would be the ultimate in satisfaction and happiness. Its the culmination of a lifetime of hard work, time, and effort to get there.
But despite the professional era which at times sees players being treated like robots by the media and fans, theyre human after all. These guys have goals and ambitions off the pitch that many of us can also relate to.
For some their greatest achievements revolve around loved ones, national selection, or even just a special time in their life.
The players featured are from all different walks of life, who have made it to the top and achieved greatness on the field, and personal happiness off it.
We hear from Brian ODriscoll, John Smit, Will Greenwood, Shane Williams, Justin Marshall, Keith Wood, and Mils Muliana to name a few.

no very surprising revelations lol
For sure winnin a rwc or to be captain of ur team are the best.
A remark: absence of french or argentinian players who have won a lot of success, just proves that rugby (want to) stay an anglo-centred sport.

Flooz, I'd say it's just coincidence. No need to stress.
Will Greenwood the comedian. Seems like a fun guy to be around.

'Making my mother proud'. I didn't expect to hear that from a grizzled rugby player.

Its actually improved my day to be able to watch that video and realise that none of the new zealanders where able to say anything about a world cup.

Funny hearing Smitty say the WC win was ALMOST as important as his kids birth. Not sure how to take that lol
Good man though, got his head screwed on right.

Smitty looks like one of those naughty kids at school, which the teacher can't help but like! At least SA have a bril captain, he is one of my fav players and this from an irish fan!!!
