Struggling with front row options down south, don't know a whole lot about them!

Surely Jones as NH tighthead, I would also find it hard to leave out Pocock

Halfpenny at full back for me. Only SA of the big three kick the ball much and so Kearney's biggest strength is not really needed. His biggest weakness, his defence, is needed more than ever though and Halfpenny is better here.

Wentzel is the Wasps lock right irishbucs? Is he that good?

Shelflife

Cant see how we could have 8 starters in a NH team after todays drubbing.

I rate him. Captain, athletic rangy lock who is everywhere in defense and carries well. Re difference in Wasps performances without him this season was very noticeable. There are probably better SH locks but I went for the classic enforcer + lineout operator mould and he fits that better than any other SH lock i can think of (better than Sharpe this season imo

You have to ask yourself would this be a better option then the actual lions tour. Just think of the money this could generate

I don't really rate Jonathon Davies very highly, certainly not higher than BOD, Rougerie or even Tualangi.

I'm not so much question you here Emmet, as I am myself. Do people think he's that good?

Very true and much more prestigious also.

Well seeing as Leinster would beat any team in the world, the NH team could be

15. Kearney
14. Fitzgerald
13. BOD
12. Darce
11. McFadden
10. Sexton
9. Reddan

1. Healy
2. Strauss
3. Ross
4. Toner
5. Cullen
6. McLaughlin
7. O'Brien
8. Heaslip





16. Cronin 17.McGrath 18. Hagan 19. Browne 20. Jennings 21. Boss 22. Madigan 23. Kearney

Interesting...

Dunno I've lost faith in Roberts. I wouldn't be surprised with Beck getting a lion shirts this time next year. The form 12 will defo come from Wales however. And if Fofana could tidy up some aspects of his game he could be a world best in a few years.

I also don't rate Ashton. There's a dozen French wingers better then him imo. A few Irish too. And Cuthbert.

Other than that that'd be a great team.
