No matter weather your a Scot, Irish, English, I think everyone knew that Gareth Edwards was the king as far as world of rugby were concerned as a scrum half. A fitting honour to now be SIR Gareth Edwards. You were a tiger, thank you Gareth, from an English fan of rugby

In Cardiff there are two statues in the centre of the city to two of my greatest heros, Nye Bevan founder of the NHS and Gareth Edwards a living legend.

Anyone who is more than a couple of years younger than I am cannot uderstand fully just how good a player this man was.
He played in teams full of astonishing players, and he was still outstanding.
IMO the best there has ever been.

Poet warrior player, growing up in the 70s it was a privilege to watch him play .

Its actually refreshing to scroll through the comments section and see everyone saying the same thing and not putting this "True Legend " down. He was voted as the best player ever and I don't think anyone who truly knows the game and has a unbiased view will disagree. The best 9 ever .

Two legends! And thank you Sir Edwards for your immense service to the sport I love. You really are one of the all time greats.

Gareth was and is a wonderful man, I could listen to him for hours, without doubt the greatest scrum half ever, alongside John, Bennett, JPR, JJ Williams, and many more from the Wales glory years

Brilliant! How professionalism has spoilt the modern game . I still get goosebumps watching Edwzrds and co rather than the modern day robots and the plethora of replacements. Ashamed to say I watch very little RU now and I worry about the constant physicality of the modern Pro which is clearly causing health issues. If only we could turn back time,!

Gareth Edwards and Phil Bennett were a marvelous combination at 9 and 10.

Edwards a wealth of talent; and a great memory.
Recalling stuff so well.
Praising players, he thought were just as good as he was; or better.

I love how Ali Bacher just let his guests talk without interrupting or trying to be witty and upstage them. RIP Dr. Bacher, you were a good man.

Gareth Edwards is one of the greats of world rugby. Even though I'm a AB fan I still regard him as a better half back than Sid Going in the 1970's who is still regarded as one of the best AB halfs ever. The 1971 and 74 Lions feats against the ABs and Boks may not have happened without him.
