"Of course Brian O'Driscoll has a serious claim to being the Player of the Noughties, as do Martin Johnson, Jonny Wilkinson and the Kiwi double act of Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. All fabulous players, all highly influential, all first-class citizens in their way. They have shaped, or are shaping, sides in their image: committed, skilled, potent and capable of producing the X-Factor moment. No, you couldn't quibble with any of those contenders. But one man transcended even their achievements, managed to bend not only any given particular match to his will, but also to change the entire face of the sport in his country. It is not at all fanciful to declare that Agustin Pichot has been the player of this decade even if he does cede something to the likes of Carter or O'Driscoll in pure technical talent, in that hint of genius. Pichot's worth goes beyond a mere tick-list of abilities. For the sheer ferocity of his inner being, the unquenchable appetite for the contest, for his urgent passion, his awareness, his courage and his presence, Pichot has no equal."
