As a kid I remember listening in to a conversation a group was having about whether Bourke-Barrot-Clay was the best centreline of all time. Someone suggested it was at least certainly "the best centreline since the war" to which the oldtimer of the group responded "Yes, and the war before. But I remember as a boy seeing Bruce-McGregor-Kennedy in the Blues triple premierships of 06-7-8 and they were better".
Doing the maths I would put this conversation at about 60 years later so it is quite possible the oldtimer was telling the truth about seeing them play, and on reputation quite possibly the truth about them being better!
