Answer 3

1 Aussie and its not Campese

have to have him in there

he might let a few tries in but NZ would have won the 1991 world cup without his brilliance in the semi final so hes definitely in my team and John Eales in for Dicky Hill but thats my wallaby colours showing

Answer 4

Because i am Welsh and cant be bothered to do the whole team,i would say

JPR at fullback

Barry John/Phil Bennet at fly half

Gerald Davies on the one wing

Gareth Edwards at scrum half

Mervyn Davies at no 8

The rest to be decided.
