What teams have the best units i.e. best frontrow, second row, backrow. halfbacks, centres and back three.

Say which team (international or club) you think has the best units. So not necessarily the best players but units that compliment for example the Welsh backrow, none would be clearly the best in their position despite being very good players but they compliment each other.

Will post my picks later just to make it clear units can be from seperate teams not the team with the highest amount of good units.
 
It's hard to say because most international sides are rebuilding but if it's current teams and players then:

1. Tonga'uiha
2. Hartley
3. Mujati
Northampton

4. Maestri
5. Albacete
Toulouse
(I struggled with this the most)

6. Lydiate
7. Waburton
8. Faletau
Wales

9. Genia
10. Cooper
Aus & Reds

12. Nonu
13. Smith
NZ

11. Malzieu
14. Sivivatu
15. Byrne
Clermont

WP / Stormers

And I'm not even being biased
 
The story of the Mars Climate Orbiter is a funny oul yarn about units. In a nutshell, the thing was designed to make course correction in Newtons, but Nasa were entering in pound-force, so the thing crashed into the planet.

Morons.
 
Front row -northhampton
Second row -Toulouse
Backrow -all blacks
Halfbacks -crusaders (with carter)
Centres -all blacks
Back three - all blacks
 
I believe in terms of Europe Leinster have the best back row. Imagine if Ferris moved in there With Sean O'Brien, Ferris and Heaslip. ;)
 
Front row: Sharks
Second row: Stormers (it saddens me that I can't seriously consider O'Callaghan-O'Connell anymore)
Back Row: Wales (closely followed by All Blacks World Cup back row)
Half-backs: Crusaders (with Carter)
Centres: MAFI AND TIPOKI. No, seriously Nonu and Conrad Smith.
Bck Three: Controversial one here, Hurricanes. Think about it, Savea and Jane = ABs best wings. Taylor = not too far off Dagg in terms of quality. The ABs would be happy out with that back three I think.
