    1. Jenkins
    2. Fla
    3. A. Jones
    4. Hines (suspended I know, but struggling for SR)
    5.
    6. Ferris
    7. Quinlan
    8. R. Jones
    9. O'Leary
    10.
    11. Shanklin
    12. Roberts
    13. BOD
    14. Halfpenny
    15. Byrne

    16. Murray


    A few holes there but I'm sure someone will remember people that could fill in there. But all in all not a bad XV is it? Did I miss anybody?

    Also just noticed apart from Hines/Murray its all Welsh and Irish.

    Shanklin on wing? I know he is strong but he is not quick enough for wing.

    I know...realistically Roberts would be on the wing but I didn't want to split up BOD and Roberts. They have been good together!

    He played on the wing for the Lions in '05.

    I agree with you on Halfpenny, his departure from the tour cant be overstated enough, he's some player. Also thats a no on Shanklin on the wing, who knows? If he didnt get injured Roberts mightnt even have gotten a proper chance in the center.
