[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1039377, member: 58362"] Why Matt Dawson? I have nothing against him, if anything I was a fan, but he was at best the fifth best scrum half in the world in 1997. He would be useful in the current squad though. I had the good fortune of watching Gibbs for a season in 98/99. Not always at his rampaging 97 Lions form, but impressive all the same. I wish I hadn't rewatched the clip of him vs Du Randt though, in my memory he ran him over rather than deflected him. I'd pick Gethin Jenkins from 2009 to sort out the loose head problem and BOD, 'cos he's BOD and there's a dearth of decent 13s in the squad. From 2009, I'd take Keith Wood, not that hooker is a massive weakness, but he was that good as a player / leader, plus, who else will preside over the kangaroo court? I'd be tempted to take Richard Hill from 1997 on the same basis (being good, not being good at comedy drinking). [/QUOTE]
