The best of the best?

Question

I was thinking wouldn't it be cool to see all the best players of each position no matter what country they play for in the same team. And then i thought well who would they play against? Its not as if there could be an 'Earth XV' versus a 'Space XV' or anything. Maybe they could play against the number one ranked team in the world each year with players from that team not available to be included in the 'World team'. What do you think? Kinda like a barbarians versus another country game but with the BEST.

Answer 1

We all want to see the best players playing at the same time - and this is the best it gets - the RWC. Putting players from different countries in the same team might make a 'super team' but at the end of the day it is country v country/club/province that really gets the fans excited.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - what really excites me as a fan of the game is a strong international side taking on a strong club or provincial side. Both sets of fans put their pride on the line. The best such game I've ever seen was Auckland v British Lions when Grant Fox won the game with a droppie. Awesome! I also remember Otago beating the Boks. Magic!

Answer 2

They do that in cricket, but it was a bit of flop

the number 1 team in the world won easily,

the only  solution would be for the world team to get a generous amount of training time ect. to prepare then we'll see what would happen (they need a coach as well).
