    Utility XV

    It's been a while since I made a general opinion XV thread so here's the Utility XV thread. Simply pick the best players for positions that aren't they're first position.

    1. O. Franks
    2. Can't think of any there's plenty of props and flankers who moved to hooker but that was so they could play at a high level
    3. Jenkins
    4. Boric
    5. McLaughlin
    6. Hines
    7. Harinordoquy
    8. O'Brien
    9. Williams
    10. Pienaar
    11. Hougaard
    12. Carter
    13. North
    14. Nacewa
    15. Jane

    I wondered why the forum had seemed so much better recently.

    Is North really a utility player?
    Hasn't he only played wing at professional level?

    I'll give it a go, just to assist Big Ginger in some redundant way...

    1. Beast Mtawarira (was a flanker and 8th man before bulking up)
    2. Schalk Brits (can play basically anywhere)
    3. Coenie Oosthuizen
    4. Rynardt Elstadt
    5. Danie Rossouw
    6. Duane Vermeulen
    7. Schalk Burger
    8. Pierre Spies
    9. Francois Hougaard
    10. Dan Carter
    11. Bryan Habana
    12. Francois Steyn
    13. Jaque Fourie
    14. Rene Ranger
    15. Pat Lambie

    16. Bismarck Du Plessis (IMHO could be just as effective at flanker or no. 8)
    17. Owen Franks
    18. Jebb Sinclair
    19. Dean Mumm
    20. Frederic Michalak
    21. Ruan Pienaar
    22. Adam Ashley-Cooper

    No. Many want to see him move back to midfield, but he has only played wing, as you have stated.
    He was an inside centre for the U16's I believe.
