new 2 this forum, so here is my best ever xv-please comment. 15.blanco 14.campese 13.gerber 12.horan 11.habana 10.porta 9.edwards 8.m.davies 7.mccaw 6.m.jones 5.eales 4.meads 3.paparemborde 2.fitzpatrick 1.du randt-so 4 all blacks,3 aussies,3 springboks, 2 french and 2 welsh and an argentinian-over the history of union you would find that those teams in that order(apart from argentina)would be strongest and most successful,so fair proportional representation of players? porta was much underrated-could kick and run and pass well-ella and barry john had fantastic skills but porta kick success rate was amazing and played into his forties and still was magnificent in teams that were being beaten. best ever players? backs-gerber-yes better even than edwards, and forwards-michael jones-no question! my wingers finish off moves and could also create their own tries-balance,speed,talent-not just 1 dimensional-like lomu! props-scrummage power-thats it-most important thing-all round play comes second-but the 2 picks were good ball players anyway-no way is this scrum going backwards!

Impressive lineup you got there. Now I miss the days when fitzpatric and danie gerber still played. Those days it was running rugby, unlike the rugby we see nowadays.

From where are you andybutler? You seem to know your rugby.
