Liam Messam (C) - Why would you not select this top 3, great 7's players. Messam is the size of a forward and runs like a back. devaloped a Great Passing game this year.
Adam Thompson - huge workrate and good speed for his height.
Victor Vito - Good straight line ball runner and can attract defenders & offload.
Stephen Donald - just to **** everyone off. He'd do well i think, big, fast and can tackle very well, very high fitness level. Playmaker role.
Richard Kahui - has every skill in the book, great defence, suprising turn of speed. Can step, fend, offload, draw & Pass - whatever.
Isaia Toeava - Can Drift through tight spaces at high speed, doesn't need much room.
Israel Dagg - Sick skills, size & speed.

I agree on Messam, Vito, Dagg but the other 4 I'd have to swap for Cory Jane, Mils, McCaw and... ummm... Carter or Weepu?

If he added a ground game he would be a good forward based on that assesment..

Sevens playmakers have to be creative, agile, think incredibly fast and make snap decisions. I.e, not Donald.

But i have doubts a team of superstars could beat a team of 7s specialists. Maybe the best team would be guys who have played 7s before.
