World XV

[REM]

Decided to join this forum after reading some of your thoughts on a All Time rugby XV. Found it strange that there were some real quality players left out, especially from South Africa from yesteryear. Here is my All Time XV.

1. Os Du Randt
2. Keith Wood
3. Karl Hayman
4. Frik Du Preez
5. Victor Matfield
6. Tim Rodber
7. Jerry Collins
8. Zinzan Brooke
9. Joost vd Westhuizen
10. Johnny Wilkinson
11. Jonah Lomu
12. Tana Umaga
13. Danie Gerber
14. David Campese
15. Christian Cullen

Note that these are all players that havent played for their countries in at least two years. McCaw, Carter and Habana excluded due to this.
Notable absentees, John Smit, Olo Brown, Martin Johnson, Tim Horan, John Kirwin, Andre Joubert, to name a few.

World XV

1. Earth - I'd probably go Earth #1 based on we know it to be habitable.
2. Mars - Probably colder than Earth so probably can't live there - unless they build stuff. But they may be sending people to live there n' stuff, so like, who knows. Imagin not being able to come back. Sucks.
3. Venus - I say Venus cause like I think it sounds like the sexiest of the planets and stuff. Probably to do with learning classics at school. Teacher was a crazy lady but never mind.
4. Neptune - It's now like the furthest away planet in our system - and its blue so it looks it'd be really chilled and ****.
5. Pluto - Screw people who say its not a planet. I feel like its the Bilbo of the planets. When I'm scared I think of Pluto and it makes me brave. You guys see The Hobbit?
6. Saturn - If it didn't have those rings no one would care - but since it has them its alright. I mean, I wouldn't go there but whatever, you can if you like.
7. Uranus - A planet which inspires puns is to be hated and feared.
8. Mercury - The show must go on, inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking but my smile, still stays on. RIP.
9. Jupiter - Thinks he the big ****. Well **** you Jupiter I'm not scared.
10. Gliese 667C -May or may not be habitable. Difficult to get there though, but probably worth it cause my recycling bin is like - ages away.
11. Krypton - We can't live there apparently but gave us Superman. On the other hand Superman did mess up Metropolis. Where the ***** is Metropolis? or Gotham?
12. Some of the other marbles at the end of Men In Black - ...
13. Coruscant - Tough choice. I feel that with no trees and just buildings it'd be difficult to breath.
14. Acheron LV-426 - That planet from the Aliens film. Who wins Superman or Aliens? I go with Superman, but I mean he's a boring hero.
15. Alderaan - Too soon?

From the stories I've heard about Uranus, the first word that comes to mind is "hooker".

Gerber? Funny way to spell O'Driscoll.

yeh, and "Danie" for Brian and...OH HE GOT IT ALL MIXED UP, MY WORD !!....a complete mess !!
I agree btw. From atop the infinite heights of my mythological wisdom and insurpassable knowledge of the game, I would say BOD is probably in that All-Time World XV.....in all humility, of course.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Play him at 10.

 

[Draggs]

Play him at 10.

We need a hybrid Barry John-Phil Bennett there.

YEAAAAAAH !!!! WHAT THE HELL !!!

 

[Tadginator]

I didn't want to risk spelling Brian O'Driscoll wrong so I stuck to the initials.

 

[Draggs]

If the two XVs played it would be a hell of a match.

Yeah, those old b@stards would be absolutely fooked.

 

[TRF_heineken]

Since when did Big Ginger change his name to REM??

 

[big ginger 8]

Since when did Big Ginger change his name to REM??

Yeah, cause I'd spell O'Driscoll wrong.

 

[TRF_heineken]

Yeah, cause I'd spell O'Driscoll wrong.

Spelling it Gerber, is a bit worse than just a normal typo...

It's the same as the All Black team manager during the RC...
