This is arguably more of an out-of-game topic but will be interesting to see people's opinions :)

I've messed around with Lomu All Stars in the game and turned it into a sort of Legends XV. Kept the big man himself obviously as he more than earns his place but from downloading new players on the fanhub I've made it my own. What would be your "Classic XV"?

The rules are:

- To play in the starting XV a player must be retired from playing the game altogether.
- To be eligible for the bench, a player may or may not be playing club rugby, but must have retired from international duty.
- All players would be in their prime.
- No more than 4 players from any one nation in the starting team.

So to start the ball rolling, here's my Legends XV (All players are already in RC3!):

1) Jason Leonard
2) Sean Fitzpatrick
3) Os du Randt
4) Martin Johnson
5) John Eales
6) Francois Pienaar
7) Richie McCaw
8) Sebastien Chabal

9) Joost van der Westhuizen
10) Jonny Wilkinson (GK, PK)
11) Jonah Lomu (C)
12) Tana Umaga
13) Brian O'Driscoll
14) Tim Horan
15) Serge Blanco

16) Andrew Hore
17) Tony Woodcock
18) John Smit
19) Paul O'Connell
20) Jerry Collins
21) George Gregan
22) Daniel Carter
23) Christian Cullen

Just my opinion :rolleyes: Honorable mentions to Conrad Smith, Fabien Pelous, William Servat, Steve Thompson, Carlos Spencer, Jo Rokocoko, Matt Giteau (had he not come out of international retirement), Bryan Habana, Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha and more. Hard decisions. :p
 
Agustín Pichot,Brian Lima, Felipe Contepomi, Mario Ledesma, Andre Joubert, Percy Montgomery;)
