What is your Dream Rugby Sevens team?

Question

If you could name a squad of 12 players from the IRB World Rugby Sevens Circuit who would they be? You can only name a maximum of two players from any one country but they can be a mixture of past and present greats? The nearest to mine takes the points!!!

Answer 1

My team would be:

1. Waisale Serevi (Fiji)

2. William Ryder (Fiji)

3. Eric Rush (New Zealand)

4. Ben Gollings (England)

5. Fabian Juries (South Africa)

6. Paul Treu (South Africa)

7. Lote Tuqiri (Australia)

8. Dallas Seymour (New Zealand)

9. Rob Thirlby (England)

10. Uale Mai (Samoa)

11. Peter Miller (Australia)

12. Lome Fa'atau (Samoa)

I think this would be an awesome combination. It has the playmaking skills of Serevi, Mai, Gollings and Treu. The unpredictability of Serevi and Ryder. The sheer pace of Juries, Fa'atau and Ryder. Every player is a great finisher and it contains four players who have scored well over a hundred sevens tries each. I'd play Rush, Tuqiri and Thirlby as forwards (as they have done so many times in sevens) along with the great Dallas Seymour, possibly the greatest sevens forward of all-time.

Answer 2

Waisale Serevi, William Ryder, Eric Rush, Jonah Lomu, Peter Miller, Ben Gollings, Simon Amor, Santiago Gomez Cora, Fabian Julies, Brian Lima, Andrew Turbnbull & Brent Russell
