   • Let's give this a shot:
     
     1) Os du Randt
     2) Sean Fitzpatrick
     3) Jason Leonard
     4) Martin Johnson
     5) Victor Matfield
     6) Richard Hill
     7) Neil Back
     8) Zinzan Brooke
     9) Matt Dawson
     10) Dan Carter
     11) Jonah Lomu

     13) Brian O'Driscoll
     14) Jason Robinson
     15) Gavin Hastings
     
     Before I get any Welsh moaning, I'd have at least 3 of the buggers on the bench so shush. The lack of French and Australians is entirely intentional and bigoted.

   • O Driscoll will get injured in the first 10 mins and Gavin Hasting is boring and missed an easy kick once.
     
     I entirely endorse you anti-Aussie predujice, but not the Froggies, I love them in ze rugby, but I would still pick Campese and Eales. Tim Horan's good too. And Michael Lynagh. Sod them the talented convict bastards.

   • To be honest, other than the two you picked, I was struggling to think many French names, except maybe Ibanez. I thought of all the Aussies, and ignored them.
     Anyway, with a pack like that I'd be playing 10 man rugby, so any deficiencies at 3/4 are irrelevant, and all the full back needs to be able to do is catch the ball and hoof it 70 metres into touch.

   • Do I detect a forward bias here? Why not just pick the England 1991 XV? French goodness- Chabal, Pelous, Saint-Andre, Berbizier, Combarabero (sp?), etc etc

   • Forward bias, moi? I think this is the problem I have naming great French players, they're nearly all backs. I do like Chabal, but I'm not sure he's an all time great. Not convinced about Pelous, either.

   • Noon? Really? Mike Tindall at his peak was a far superior player of that type, not to mention Stirling Mortlock... or some other backs. Noon at his best is a great tackler and direct runner, but there have been much better than him.

    • i like his style. although i think i'll plump for steyn instead on second thoughts.

      long hair and a beard and looking a bit scary are pretty much the only weapons in the arsenal there i would say.
      
      i think victor ubogu also needs a slot in my xv...will edit accordingly.
