  1. Richie McCaw won the IRB award for best player last year... it has to be between him and Dan Carter.


  2. kevin k , is on the ball. give him the ten points/best answer. period.

  3. Dan Carter.

    This a definite and bet most of the people who answer this question will agree with me.

    Fot the record this is what I think the best team in world rugby would look like

    15.C.Poitrenaud(france) 14. J.Rockocoko(NewZealand) 13.B.O'Driscoll(ireland) 12.Y.Jauzion(fr) 11. B.Habana(SthAfrica) 10.D.Carter(NZ) 9. D.Peel(wales) 8.S.Parisse(italy) 7. R.McCaw(NZ) 6.S.Burger(S.A) 5. P.O'Connell(Irl)

    4.V.Matfield(S.A) 3. C.Haymans(NZ) 2.J.Smit(S.A)

    1.A.Sheridan(England)

    Unlike the best player I imagine most people would not agree with me.

    some of the players who just missed ot included F.contepomi(argentina) K.Meleamu(NZ) Siviautua (NZ) M.Muliania(NZ) J.Collins (NZ) G.D'arcy (irl) J.Robinson (eng) S.Marconnet(Fra) and S.Chabal (Fra)

  4. According to the majority: Richie McCaw

    Personally, I would have a hard time choosing between Dan Carter and Richie McCaw - they are both amazing talents.

  5. It's a toss up between McCaw and Carter. Other unsung modern-day greats include Carl Hayman (another Kiwi, hardly seen 'cos he's in front row underworld ), Felipe Contepomi and hooker Mario Ledesma (not enough exposure because they play for Argentina).  Nice team picked by Kevin K. I like Parisse too,bold but exciting selection, great No.8, but John Smit as hooker?! He's never good enough to be picked for SA, never mind oust any of the top five country's hookers. Once SA's current  coaching staff get axed, he'll be the first to go.

    My team:

    15 Chris Latham AUS

    14 Lote Tuqiri AUS

    13 Yannick Jauzion FRA

    12 Felipe Contepomi ARG

    11 Joe Rokocoko NZ

    10 Dan Carter NZ

    9 Byron Kelleher NZ

    1 Marcos Ayerza ARG

    2 Mario Ledesma ARG

    3 Carl Hayman NZ

    6 Jerry Collins NZ

    4 Fabien Pelous FRA

    5 Paul O'Connell IRE

    7 Richie McCaw NZ

    8 Denis Leamy IRE

    SUBS:

    12 B.O'Driscoll IRE

    11 R.Caucaunibuca FIJI

    9 F.Du Preez SA

    6 Neil Best IRE

    5 B.Botha SA

    3 Pieter De Villiers FRA

    2 K.Mealamu NZ

    Not even room for stars like Lobbe (Arg), Wilkinson (Eng), Muliaina (NZ), Sivivatu (NZ), Harinordorquy (Fra), Mortlock (Aus), Jack (NZ),Simon Taylor (Sco), Waugh (Aus), George Smith (Aus), etc.

  6. Adam Russell, U.S. Hawks

  7. IRB Player of the Year and current All Black Captain Richie McCaw
