There have been some pretty good candidates over this decade, and two that will be good for the next, but sneak in here, and one who was great last decade, and decent in the noughties...

anyway.

Muliaina
MacDonald
Cullen
Jane
Toeava

Mils all the way. Narrowly edging out Leon Mac. Like I said about Goldie and Jonah in the other thread Cully was gone by 2003 so can't really mount a challenge ( although he is far an away a better FB than any of these guys )

Mils - although I nearly went for Cullen for 2000/2001 and Super 12 form 2003, but Mils played from 2003 - 2009 so he deserves to be in there. Rangi not far behind.
"it is not for me a question of whether Nepia was the best fullback in history. It is a question of which of the others is fit to loose the laces of his Cotton Oxford boots."

Rennie, Joseph, Russell, Penney, Hammett. The Mickey Mouse Canes keep rolling on.

Even though he didn't play as much as Mils , i just couldn't bring myself to pick anyone but Cullen .
"He is like one of these slow burning fuses . Quiet and no sputtering .So quiet you forget its burning . Then it sets off one mighty big blow off of trouble when it touches powder ."

I really wanted to vote for him - he was still class in the early 00s, but I bowed to Mils longevity at the top over the decade.
