[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 541231, member: 44360"] Canada for me. 1. Hubert Buydens (Most experienced front rower we have, does tend to run a little hot and cold though) 2. Ryan Hamilton (Developing into a pretty decent player, probably an upgrade over the retired Riordan) 3. Andrew Tieddeman (Close call with Marshall, but I think he's growing as a player more, and dosen't bring the discipline issues that Marshall has, also can play all front row positions) 4. Tyler Hotson (Sinclair could be here, but I'm saving him for the back row, #4 is our weakest spot right now, could have an argument for Beukeboom here as well) 5. Jamie Cudmore (When he's not punching people he is amongst the best in the world) 6. Adam Kleeberger (One of the hardest working players I've ever seen and a great fetcher, Ardron is developing here) 7. Jebb Sinclair (O'Toole's had enough chances, Jebb has played here for WP and the Stormers, he needs to be in the play more and having him here keeps Carpenter in the side.) 8. Aaron Carpenter (Captain, plucky player, a little undersized for an #8, I still want him in the starting lineup, maybe down the road he becomes an impact sub) 9. Phil Mack (A position that is up in the air, Mack is the best attacking option here. Wilson played well in November but I would prefer him off the bench. White should focus on 7's at 15's he's just too inconsistent) 10. Connor Braid (Tons of players coming up in this slot for Canada, but Braid is probably the best at the moment, should have a wealth of choices here in 2015) 11. Matt Evans (Played well here for Pirates, can play a ton of positions in the backs, will have to move to FH if Braid gets hurt with my choices) 12. Conor Trainor (Has become an exciting young player, this used to be a weak spot not so much for now) 13. DTH Van De Merwe (Along with Cudmore one of our two world class players, could make a number of Tier One sides) 14. Phil Mackenzie (Good speed, one of the best fly-hackers I've seen, knows how to make tries out of nothing) 15. James Pritchard (Goal Kicking, Goal Kicking, Goal Kicking, Goal Kicking.....and a touch of solid defence) 16. Ray Barkwill (Lineout expert, a very solid backup option, well liked by the team and a great story getting his first cap at 32) 17. Jason Marshall (Has gotten better since he started playing in the D2, is a good all round athlete, needs to keep the discipline in order tends to get frustrated very easily) 18. Doug Wooldridge (Wish I had a better option here our depth is lacking at Prop) 19. Brett Beukeboom (Monster of a man, had a pro contract now and should get better for now is on the bench as an impact sub) 20.

Taylor Paris (Great wheels, could be very useful off the bench exploiting gaps when the oppostion gets tired, maybe I should have a FH specialist here tough call, if so Hearn leaves side and he moves to #23) 23. Ciaran Hearn (Jack of all trades....master of none, can play anywhere in the backs, can goal kick. Dosen't really add too much, but is almost never a weak link) Guys who miss out, but I would have as reserves. Nanyak Dala (love him could be useful against smaller sides) Chauncey O'Toole (has fallen quite a bit off his peak a couple of years ago) Nathan Hirayama (More a 7's specialist) [/QUOTE]
