World best 15...No BOD !

Look at this for a laugh. Scarltes centre pushes out BOD. The writer also seems to think Horganm played in the centre in Nov tests.
It was the season before ( sans BOD + POC ) and we got hammerred!
Shows what he knows! Regan bloody King!:mad:

read this a few days back, and it was a snippet in the Indo.

Complete bollox, or could be classed as an 'alternative XV'

Horgan played centre v Pacific Isles (or did he?)

Anyway Giteau at SH says it all, and Regan King at OC

Jauzion was destroyed against NZ, and looks nowhere near his best, he also missed most of 2006 through injury, so his inclusion for a team of the year is hugely surprising.

More like some kids fantasy team

H e did come to think......nothing worth metioning though a game Vs Pac Isls at centre.

"He played NO internationals... he was part of a team which beat Toulouse away this year" So basically he did what O'Driscoll did apart from all the other stuff such as beating Australia, South Africa, making the semi-final of the HC and finishing an extremely narrow runner-up in the CL. And before that - captaining the Lions, scoring a hatrick against France ... I won't go on. Oh and on top of that - he's not BOD. Let them overlook him - it'll come back and bite them in the A**e someday.

BTW what is wrong with Giteau?

While King isn't in BOD's league, he is still a bloody good player, himself, Peel and Jones are making Llanelli a great team again.

Best Scrum Half of 2006 ? I Don't think so

Perhaps. Who would you have so? The World isn't being set alight with SH's at the moment methinks.

I'd have Byron Kelleher way ahead of Giteau atm (still improving).

Jauzion at 12? Not a chance, he has been a shadow of his form self this year, especially in the autumn series. I don't think I'd have anyone ahead of D'arcy at the moment on his current form, Leinster's player of the year imo.

Don't even need to comment on 13, a rake of players a head of him.

No NZ wingers? I'm quite sceptical about that even with the talents on Horgan and Tuiquiri.

Of course - with all the BOD talk I forgot about this. Has the writer of that list watched any Rugby this year? Sivivatu(sp.???) has been extraordinary, esp in the AI's.
D'Arcy had a quiet enough 6N, but since then has been unreal - watching him against Ulster last week and his ability to gain yards with just brute aggression was awesome.

its the planet rugby world 15, they were on the message boards saying they picked a controversial team to provoke debate.

Except for Carter, there isn't a single Kiwi international in the backs. That Regan King thing is a bit of a joke alright.

I too did not think much about it after the BOD thing but Sivivatu has been awesome all season against top teams. His 1st game against France was out of this world!

Well technically....
