Smith has generally displayed excellent ball skills... I'm sure he'll only get better... Already missing him in Australia...

While I do like Iron Mike's star rating idea I think this is more realistic... Although the Boks have had about a year of greatness in the past 5 years I think everyone can agree that the All Blacks have generally dominated world rugby and should be a step above everyone. Following them it...

I know George Smith is an openside but he'd be up there. Spies is fairly average and Harinordoquay is probably the best no. 8 in the world right now... but I wouldn't rate him as '99'... same with Nonu...

There are some really odd choices regarding the Australian team going on here... This is what the Australian team would be this year if all the players mentioned were fit: 1. Benn Robinson 2. Tatafu Polata-Nau/Stephen Moore 3. Ben Alexander 4. Dean Mumm 5. James Horwill 6. Rocky Elsom (c) 7...

They do already have one specific one for every single player... But what I believe is being proposed is that players who have a high rating in certain areas of their game develop an icon for that feature... some players would get multiple icons for excelling at various skills...

I do like the idea behind this... Instead of listing every single player with a 'tackle breaker', 'scrummager' etc. icon... they should only receive an icon if their stats are particularly very high in one area... a player like Ben Alexander could have both a scrum icon and a tackle breaker one...

Also, if stars are going to be applied they should feature players of all positions... The last two games didn't have any frontrowers or locks... You would think players such as Benn Robinson, Victor Matfield, Carl Hayman, Paul O'Connell, Castrogiovanni etc. would all come into contention...

It's probably for the best if they were gone as in the last game there were players with them who didn't deserve them, and players without them who did deserve them at the time... And since then a number of the players in that game wouldn't deserve their stars today... It can be hard to nail...

I haven't bothered reading this thread, but here are the suggestions that matter most for me: The Rules. Get the ******* rules right. I don't know how you can have them right one game... then wrong the next... then right the next... then wrong again... Seriously... what the ****...
