Question

I will update this with mine sometime, if i get a chance. im just bored doing uni work and that popped into my head.......so yeh gimme your all time XV...........ummmmm oh yeh make it players that are still playing......none of this Jonah Lomu malarky!

Answer 1

It is very difficlut to just pick 15 guys on a team out of all the players in the world but this would be my starting XV, let the debate begin.

1 Os du Randt (SA)

2 John Smit (SA)

3 Phil Vickery (ENG)

4 Steve Borthwick (ENG)

5 Chris Jack (NZ)

6 Schlak Burger (SA)

7 Richie McCaw (NZ)

8 George Smith (AUS)

9. George Gregan (AUS)

10. Dan Carter (NZ)

11. Bryan Habana (SA)

12. Brian O’Driscoll (IRE)

13. Juan Martin Hernandez (ARG)

14. Josevata Rokocoko (NZ)

15. Jason Robinson (ENG)

Answer 2

Any world rugby team has to have Campese on one wing and Jonah Lomu on the other.  At their best, they were both unbeatable.  At the back would be Christian Cullen.  Still thinking about the rest of the backs.

At No 7 has to be Richie McCaw as must as I hate him.  The rest of the back row is not so clear cut.

The second row has to be John Eales and Victor Matfield.

Up front, Sean Fitzpatrick has to be the hooker and captain - just his sledging is enough to get him in the team.

The bookends are harder to pick.

Answer 3

TO PICK A WORLD XV YOU HAVE TO THINK OF THE PLAYERS AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME NOT HOW THEY MAY HAVE FINISHED THEIR CAREERS

11. Jonah Lomu (NZ)

12. Tim Horan (AUS)

13. Jason Little (AUS)

14. David Campesse (AUS)

14sitiveni sivivatu(N.Z)

15 malili muliai'ina (N.Z)

Answer 5

Adam B that team is ****. For a start there are numerous better full backs then Robinson (if you can say he's a full back/wing/center/don't know where to play him).

For example G. Hastings, P. Montgomery to name but two. And the SA hooker at 2, what about Keith Wood or Sean Fitzpatrick? I'm not even going to waste time going through your other daft selections, I'll assume your english picking a team like that!

That almost beats C. Woodward's c**p selection for the British lions last tour of New Zealand!!
