To be fair, the guy that preceded him was pretty useful. Mexted was great with ball in hand and one of the worlds greatest lineout forwards in his day. Mexted was regarded as the world's best No. 8 in his time, just as Shelford was.
*Mexted* was brilliant in his own style, more of a *open running* ranging No 8 Kieran Read styles, *Buck* was more *Mana and a Leader,* that was pure go forward with ball in hand, like a unstoppable *juggernaut,* like get da FK outta my way!
That Auckland coach was talking some proper rubbish, and Buck 'rubbished' the spiteful bugger. Hardest ever player in my opinion. Gave pain, took pain. G.O.A.T
Very very tough Lcrc. Probably the toughest All Black I've seen and not dirty. But could stand toe to toe with anyone and they'd always end up on their arse.

Don't know much about this man but from the look of him he looks tough
