Question

Hey! All rugby supporters, put together your own teams (that´s 2 different teams) for the South and North hemispheres.

15 - Leon MacDonald (NZ)

14 - Rico Gear (NZ)

13 - Stirling Mortlock (Aus)

12 - Aaron Mauger (NZ)

3 - Carl Hayman (NZ)

2 - Jeremy Paul (Aus)

Answer 2

the question was World XV team... your selection comprises only 13 players per team and they're all Rugby League players so it's unlikely you'd win many scrums or lineouts and my team has two more players, as per the question, so my money is on my boys:

Southern Hemisphere XV

7. Richie McCaw (NZ)

6. Jerry Collins (NZ)

5. Chris Jack (NZ)

4. Victor Matfield (SA)

15. Josh Lewsey (ENG)

14. Shane Horgan (IRE)

13. Brian O'Driscoll (IRE)

Mick, I apologise, I didn't read that part of your answer. I'm impressed that you can do both hemispheres in League, I can't follow the NRL as it's almost impossible to find on TV in France, where I live.

Diarmid, A Scot in Paris

The Bear, you have two specialist inside centres (if we call Carter a centre) in your SH team and two specialist outside centres in your NH team.

You copied my pack for the SH team.

I agree with the fact that the Irish pack is outstanding at the moment and was amazed by Best and Leamy in the Autumn - they're brilliant and will cause a lot of damage in the 6N this year.

Yachvilli is a good player but he's not as good as Peel or a fit Cusiter as an out and out scrum half - personally, in French league rugby I think Ellisalde tends to outshine Yach when BO play Toulouse.

Dave......    Danny Maguire is S**t,  You must be a Leeds fan,

Maguire had a poor series.

When Pryce played 6 this Tri Nations we looked more dangerous, and if Briers played 6 we would have been even more Dangerous.
