'08 Legends Amat+Pro Era

[jacovw]

Hey all

I'm creating a Legends roster for '08 and would like some input. See I'm pretty clued up with the Southern Hemisphere (and maybe the Lions) History, and after all my research i am probably not too open for selection discussion on the Boks and the Blacks, history's two greatest teams (sorry home nation boys the stats prove it. But Id like some input on the Legends of France, Scottland, Ireland maybe even England (although the awesome domination of the 2003 squad should probably call for a majority of the English Legends!). I'm also convinced that 2007's Argentine squad was their greatest ever who deserved a second place at the WC, but surely they have some others that should be there... aside from the obvious Hugo Porta.

Anyway, send me your best 15 and hopefully you can help me make a dream team world cup. I've tested the gameplay and as long as you don't manipulate the flaws in the game, it's awsome.

Ps. I can do with a few more Aussie Legends as well, although they only really started blossoming to their full potential in the eighties!

Awsome Squad! Thanks

Like I said these are mostly players from Aus's rise to greatness (80's to now), I would probably add most of these, i'm hoping for about 2.5 full teams for the big five (SA, NZ, Aus, Eng & Fra) and 1.5 for the other four (Wal, Ire, Sco, Arg). not including any other nation at this point. I've included a few older guys in my Aus lineup but will use most of your guys as i allready had quite a few of them down. M. Plynagh (capped over 80 times)? i feel embarrased to admit it but i didn't know him... will check it out, caps are usually a good indication of greatness!

My 15 so far:

1. TOPO RODRIGUEZ
2. PHIL KEARNS
3. JOHN WHITE
4. GRAHAM COOKE
5. JOHN EALES
6. TOM RICHARDS
7. COL WINDON
8. MARK LOANE
9. KEN CATCHPOLE
10. MARK ELLA
11. DALLY MESSENGER
12. TREVOR ALLEN
13. TIM HORAN
14. DAVID CAMPESE
15. MATT BURKE

Trust me, were my boys replace yours, yours are on a bench that's very close to the field!

Thanks for the input

This is an awesome help! it's amazing how this team has been shrugged aside by these idiots from Sanzar, They've been better than Italy forever, yet Italy was let into the 6Nations ages ago... I don't care what TV deals and lawyers say, it is ludicrous to leave such a good side out for so long, even if they just cause the once in a blue moon upset! I say make it a four nations with a pacific isles team joining the fray, they'll injure a few key players in the big boys so argintina can take the cup!!! :lol:

I'm a Springbok no matter what I Say!!!

Thanks again, these guys will probably all make the cut!
