    Samoa and Tonga are better than Fiji based on the World Cup so it's unfair to leave them out! So it'll have to be 22 from 13 countries for me!

    1. Sona Tuamalolo (Tonga)
    2. Bismarck du Plessis (SA)
    3. Adam Jones (Wales)
    4. Richie Gray (Scotland)
    5. Paul O'Connell (Ireland)
    6. Sergio Parisse (Italy)
    7. David Pocock (Aus)
    8. Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (Arg) - My favourite player atm!
    9. Will Genia (Aus)
    10. Dan Carter (NZ)
    11. Juan Imhoff (Arg)
    12. Jamie Roberts (Wales)
    13. Conrad Smith (NZ)
    14. Vincent Clerc (France)
    15. Stuart Hogg (Scotland)

    16. Ti'i Paulo (Samoa)
    17. Dan Cole (England)
    18. Joe Tekori (Fiji)
    19. Edwin Maka (Tonga) - Finau's nephew, just signed a 5 year deal with Toulouse. 20 stone monster!
    20. Morgan Parra (France)
    21. Jonathan Sexton (Ireland)
    22. Ben Foden (England)

    *edited to include French players*

    1. Gethin Jenkins
    2. Bismarck Du Plesis
    3. Dan Cole
    4. Richie Gray
    5. Paul O'Connell
    6. Juan Martin Hernandez Lobbe
    7. David Pocock
    8. Sergio Parisse
    9. Will Genia
    10. Dan Carter
    11. George North
    12. Sonny Bill Williams
    13. Brian O'Driscoll
    14. James O'Connor
    15. Isa Nacewa

    16. Martin Castrogiovanni - tight/loosehead
    17. Dylan Hartley - hooker (I hate it too!)
    18. Nathan Hines - secondrow
    19. Francois Hougaard - scrum half
    20. Thiery Dusautoir - blind/openside
    21. Felipe Contepomi - outhalf/centre
    22. Rupeni Caucaunibuca - winger/centre

    Waiting for the backlash!.. Where is McCaw, Dagg, Habana etc.. Its a tricky one tho.. think all positions are covered on the bench.. Would probably start Dusautoir over Hernandez Lobbe but didn't want two Argies carrying waterbottles!.. Not my actual world 22 but baring in mind the rules i'm pretty happy
