[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 744519, member: 65365"] [B]france[/B] apart form Dusautoir, no particuar 5. it all depends on attitude for the French. leadership plays a part in this though. [B]ireland[/B] their locks and loosies. Ireland excel when they retain possession with forwards in unison driving over, and adjacent to, the ruck. but they can't keep it too tight all day, so it's more vital that the locks and loosies do their thing than it is their front rowers. [B]Wallabies[/B] Pocock. he needs to be picked first of course. front row. have made massive strides to eliminate what has been their biggest weakness for a long time. whoever plays at 12. Cheikas style excels with an attacking 12, whether that be Giteau, Beale, or Toomua. [B]Springboks[/B] du preez. like TRF_stormer2010 says "[I]if [/I]he can recapture his form...[I]" [/I]then the boks are a big chance. vermeulen. because he's awesome. (if he can successfully come back from injury) bismark. all round great player. the springboks will be looking to bully the opposition at the breakdown. bismark is key here, as he is like an extra loosie. etzebeth. he's big. burger. because i'm hungry. [B]All Blacks[/B] coles. backup options are not so good. nonu. to save carter's butt if the forwards aren't dominating. carter doesn't play well behind a pack that is going backward. the Smiths. [B]Wales[/B] the Joneses. Sorry, couldn't narrow it down to 5. [B]England [/B]Theodore Humpledink the third. Sir Frederick Winterbottom. To be honest, I couldn't pick 5 as the rest of their players are pretty average. [B]Alternatively[/B], for the [B]All Blacks[/B] to win, the following are vital. dusautoir - we need him to have a bad game if we are to beat the french. mr irish - all irish players shake in their little green booties when they play the all blacks, ensuring the all blacks win. sorry. halfpenny - we need him to be injured. too soon? sorry guys. token - vital that some token black player gets picked for boks despite not being the best player in their position. sorry again. quade cooper - important that he gets picked to start, as we can rely on him stuffing up and handing us the game. not sorry.
