Chabal, Kennedy, Cullen, I think even Nallet is retiring too.

Oops forgot to research this one, just heard it off someone else. Switched him now.

Don't recognise the props.

What about Coles at tighthead? Is he retiring?

Winters

One of the two Biarritz lads didnt retire, I think Yachvili went back to Pau or Tarbes.

Paddy Wallace? Better than Hape turned out to be.

Put that team together in 2006 with two international props and a FB / Winger and they're tough to beat!

He's not unless I missed something very recently. He's the only big name hanging tough with Eddie to get promoted

Joe van Niekerk was a heroic player for Toulon. Really set standards when he arrived there in 2008.

He isnt...Eddie was on radio saying he was the only one hanging around

I love that backrow. Three of my favourite players.

Warwick would do at FB. Crying shame he never was capped

For Australia? Would have never been in consideration for them given his time correlated with some fantastic options at 10, 12 and 15.
