In the world of rugby, the battle for supremacy on the wings is an eternal debate. As the Springboks and All Blacks prepare for their highly anticipated series, the question of who is the best winger in the game has once again come to the forefront. While Will Jordan and Cheslin Kolbe are often compared, a new name has emerged in the north - Louis Bielle-Biarrey. But who is the true king of the wings? Personally, I think that the answer lies in the eye of the beholder. Speed is often cited as the key attribute for a winger, and both Jordan and Kolbe are undoubtedly rapid. However, I believe that Jordan's running technique, which allows him to glide past defenders, gives him the edge in a straight foot race. But speed is not the only factor. Kolbe's all-round game, his ability to play multiple positions, and his devastating one-on-one attacking prowess make him a complete package. In contrast, Jordan's strike rate, while impressive, is not as consistent as Kolbe's. However, when it comes to footwork, Kolbe is in a league of his own. His ability to maintain a bare minimum of movement and evade tackles puts him in a different realm. But what about the new kid on the block, Louis Bielle-Biarrey? At just 23 years old, LBB is already regarded as one of the greatest wingers in the game. However, I believe that he is still some way off the level of Jordan and Kolbe. While he has a brilliant short kicking game and is decent in the air, he doesn't quite match the other two in terms of footwork and one-on-one ability. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that LBB will eventually become the number one winger in the world. The gap between the three of them is not insurmountable, and with each player bringing something unique to the table, the future of rugby's wings looks bright. In my opinion, the battle for supremacy on the wings is far from over, and the next chapter in this eternal debate is yet to be written.
