    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?

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,625 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    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?

    SH
    Tonga'uiha, Du Plessis, Haymans, Thorn, Retallick, Juan Smith, McCaw, Read, Genia, Carter, Savea, Nonu, Conrad Smith, Jane, Dagg

    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
    :D

    For me....

    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.
