[Sker]

My SA version

1. Steenkamp
2. Bismarckhuh
3. BJ Botha

4. Bakkies Botha
5. Honestlens Dontknowington

6. Stegman (More like penaltyman)
7. Flo (Being rated over Smith! hah! Really?)
8. SPIEESSSSS (Only some games)

9. We only have underrated scrumhalves

10. Naas Botha, wait I mean Steyn, wait no I mean Naas.. wait....
11. Banana Briana
12. Jean De Has Been
13. Err...
14. Pleh?
15. F Steyn (he is better at inside centre!)

I'm trying to find a spot for Earl Doos

 

[TRF_Olyy]

1. Steenkamp
2. Bismarckhuh
3. BJ Botha

No Beast?
I'd say, other than Wilkinson, he's the most overrated rugby player in the world.

 

[THE_DINGMEISTER]

surprised no one has mentioned Cippers (Cipriani) or Varndell, a 13 I would put here would be Bastereaud (one dimensional). No. 8 has a lot of variety with Spies, Ryan Jones and I was also thinking of Powell. Byrne or Kearne for fullback with their poor form recently. Anyone think that Jimmy Cowan and Tomas O'Leary look like twins. Although O'Leary has the bigger nose.

[tinchy17]

Im sorry....what?

My gosh! You really are Ed Fairhurst's biggest fan, aren't you?

 

[Teh Mite]

I would have thought Tait would slot straight in at 13 for you Mite!

People would have to rate him first so he could be considered over-rated!

Edit: Also, my brain must be melting today. That was supposed to be Moody at 7, not Corry.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

My gosh! You really are Ed Fairhurst's biggest fan, aren't you?

We all are.
Ed Fairhurst loves all of his creations equally, it's the least we can do

You know he can play outhalf and fullback as well?

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Most of the England team.

And if you are going to put Martyn Williams in your side at least have his name spelt correctly.

I also LOL x 1,000,000 at your choices of Adam Jones (one of the best Tight Heads in the world), Mike Phillips (2nd best Scrum Half in the world) and Tom Prydie (18 year old school kid who has as many Wales appearances as Ospreys).
PS: When has Varndell ever played outside centre?
PPS: Matfield is one of the greatest Second Rows of the professional era.
PPPS: Wilkinson guided England to a world cup, what have your lot done in the last 20 years?
