Torturer of the French in semi-final of the last Mondial, the English pillar with supernatural dimensions did not make a fold once again of the first Tricolore line. But to tell the truth, they are not the only ones to have suffered from its effectiveness. Absent vis-a-vis with the Welsh (hold, hold, match lost by the English!), it made a return crashing to pieces vis-a-vis to the Blue ones.

2 - LEONARDO GHIRALDINI (10 selections, 24 years, Italy)

If Nick Mallet can logically complain about a weak tank of players of good Italian level, it knows that to compose its first line, he does not have to dig the head too much. There with Ghiraldini, it holds a talonnor, good launcher and rather good in the cover of ground.

3 - MARTIN CASTROGIOVANNI (54 selections, 27 years, Italy)

If it were French that one... With Parisse and Ghiraldini, it is one of the only Italians to have a place in this XV of the Tournament. Vis-a-vis him, to combative player and very physics, they are numerous to have lowered the eyes.

4 LIONEL NALLET (37 selections, 32 years, France) New tricolour captain, the second line castrated very said itself in-on this side to Millennium. Tired. But that was not really seen. Adoptee unanimously by his, it took, by his incredible demolition, a beautiful revenge over 2007, rather dark year for him.

5 ALUN-WYN JONES (21 selections, 23 years, Wales) Needy like very good second line to have, the Welshman largely took part in the collective work of the red Devils. It was not to better be on its way during this Tournament.

6 DENNIS LEAMY (31 selections, 27 years, Ireland) It is the only Irish representative from our XV of the Tournament. In spite of its loads, its platings, its expenditure, it could not attenuate the Irish shipwreck during the Tournament. With due well only smelling itself in a team where the leaders do not have as much any more of punch. Perhaps precisely a future leader of XV Irish.

7 MARTYN WILLIAMS (82 selections, 33 years, Wales)

One of our fellow-members called Welsh MacCaw. Frightening in the regroupings, royal in the airs, pitiless in defense and franchissor at his hours. The luggage of this player who it should be pointed out wanted to take his international retirement at the following day of the disappointment caused by the World cup. 8 SERGIO PARISSE (52 selections, 25 years, Italy) Appointed captain at the beginning of the Tournament by Nick Mallett, the third line center Italian was a true break in the too average level posted by the Italians. Genuine puncher of defense, it failed well in him to only save to them his against France.

9 MICKAEL PHILLIPS (33 selections, 26 years, Wales)
Its atypical physique for a half of fray did not empéché it to push Dwayne Peel on the key. Eternal number 2, the 9 of Ospreys benefitted from the Tournament 2008 to assert like new number 1 Welsh on this station.

10 JAMES HOOK (25 selections, 23 years, country of Wales)
Creative who can become brilliant, it was preferred in Stephen Jones to begin the decisive match. Between the vexations of Cipriani and Wilkinson, but also the small form of Skrela, and the relatively timorées services of Masi or Trinh-Duke, Hook seemed the best opener of the Tournament 2008.

11 SHANE WILLIAMS (65 selections, 31 years, Wales)
very low Centre of gravity, thundering supports, that which will undoubtedly be elected player of the Tournament 2008 put fire in Cardiff by registering the test of the station-wagon vis-a-vis to the Blue ones. Author of 41 tests, he is the best marker of Welsh test of the history.

12 GAVIN HENSON (28 selections, 26 years, Wales)
errible fashion victim, this first center showed certainly a face different from that of 2005. Its hair is in particular longer... Especially, Henson which never lost a match of the Tournament while being titular reinforced its technical luggage.

13 TOM SHANKLIN (52 selections, 29 years, Wales)
It made badly with the third tricolour line in Millennium of heated Cardiff with red for the large slam. Incredible defender, the Welsh center composes with Henson an unconquered pair of center as soon as it is associated.

14 VINCENT CLERK (33 selections, 27 years, France)
In inside in his duel with the Welshman Shane Williams, the Toulouse winger is well becoming new the star of French Rugby. Now that it added at its speed of large physical qualities and altruism, this ideal son-in-law is promised at beautiful following days.

15 LEE BYRNE (19 selections, 28 years, Wales) Equipped with a remarkable left foot, the Welsh back carried out a very large Tournament. Author of the test of the return of the devil vauvert to Twickenham, it was of an incredible constancy in his services. A jewel for the future British Lions.
