Most god awful International xv

[Sixesandsevens]

Guilty, genuinely not a particular Deacon fan though, I just feel in both cases we could do far worse, as both have had pretty good games or spells for England. Martyn Wood (did he actually get capped? I know he flew out for world cup cover in 2003 as Healey was injured so couldnt go, and didnt join the squad eventually anyway, but had he been previously?) Tom Voyce was pretty bad for England too....

14.
13. Matt Banahan (his position lies off the rugby field)
12. Shane Geraghty
11. Tom Shanklin (was played 11 during the Hansen era ahead of Wales' greatest winger of all time)
10. Chris Paterson / Andrea Masi / Damien Traille
9. Mauro Bergamasco (one of the most infamous dreadful performances at 9 ever)
1.
2.
3. Tom Court (England 2012)
4.
5.
6.
7. Ryan Kankowski

15. Ugo Monye (dropped dozens of high balls in the November 09 series out of position at 15)
14. Ed Fairhurst (in the basis that he's useless in every other position he's played, so why not try him on the wing)
13. Matt Banahan (his position lies off the rugby field)
12. Shane Geraghty
11. Tom Shanklin (was played 11 during the Hansen era ahead of Wales' greatest winger of all time)
10. Chris Paterson / Andrea Masi / Damien Traille/Steven Donald (his world cup winning penalty kick hasn't made him any better. Just ask any Bath supporter)
9. Mauro Bergamasco (one of the most infamous dreadful performances at 9 ever)
1. Dylan Hartley (because he doesn't yet understand that you aren't supposed to stand up in the front row)/Matt "Drop Kick" Dunning (Who ate all the pies?)
2. Tai McIsaac (the hooker who couldn't)
3. Tom Court (England 2012)Al "Head for the Deck" Baxter (nuff said)
4. Troy Flavell (the greatest liability to ever play for the All Blacks. This guy could lose you a game on discipline alone)
5. Ali Williams (on current form)
6. Neil Back (the most overrated under-performing loose forward of all time)
7. Ryan Kankowski
8. Pat Sanderson (dreadful at 8 against Argentina 2006)


Matt Dunning's act of sheer stupidity in the final round of the 2003 edition of Super 12 has to rank right up there in the annals of sporting idiocy. His team needing a win with a 4 try bonus point to make the semis, and with two tries already on the board, Matt, in his infinite wisdom, decided to kick a dropped goal.




Tickets to the game.....$50
Pies, Beers, Chips for the family....$100
Being there to see the look on Matt Dunning's face..... Priceless!!

First you screw up the North American spelling of Aluminum and than you say this about OUR ED!!!! You have been reported to Canadian immigration and border services sir, do not expect entry in to my country.....ever.

Worse than Matt Dunnings drop goal was the Auckland Blues in 2001 screwing up a 7 on 1 overlap and allowing an intercept to be made by MATT DUNNING....

I'm sorry, but #8 has to go to Sione Lauaki in 2008 v Australia. Didn't touch the ball once without knocking it on, and he touched the ball a lot.

 

[Draggs]

Tom Shanklin? Better on the wing than SBW.

As you are a sound and knowledgeable member, this is easily your worst ever post. Stop it!!

Some people don't take kindly to their god Ed Fairhurst being labeled useless.
Put Chabal at 8 if you really want to set them off.

 

[big ginger 8]

Many would also be insulted by Neil Back being listed also don't think Hartley was ever capped at prop do agree with what you said though.

That was actually a prtty decent droppie. Let alone for a 56795059kg prop!


I love Matt Dunning, not because of his play, but because he is the human characterisation of Family Guy's Peter Griffin.

I'm sorry, but #8 has to go to Sione Lauaki in 2008 v Australia. Didn't touch the ball once without knocking it on, and he touched the ball a lot.

That game broke my heart to watch.

He single handedly lost us that game, despite Dan Carter's best efforts to keep it close.

Oh, I see!!!

The Right Honourable Sir Ed Fairhurst; D.S.O.; D.F.C. and Bar; V.C. and Bar; G.O.D. must NOT be criticised in any way, shape or form on this forum.

I never realised he was held in such high esteem on this forum...

I stand admonished!!

Yeah I dont know why man. I watched him waiting for him to do something great, all because of TRF. And what happened?...nothing happened, he was plain sailing. Not that bad of a player just not up there IMO.

Even the commentators said 'and the number 9' lol, they didnt even know his name.

To be fair, I don't think many people south of the Equator have ever heard of Ed fair-whatever... If I wasn't on TRF i wouldn't even have taken notice of the guy... and to be fair, I still don't see what the fuss is about him...

Saw what you did there!

 

[Draggs]

Don't ask me how this Ed Fairhurst thing started.
I know only of his legend, perhaps someone else can explain.

 

[Feicarsinn]

HOW DARE YOU!!!?!?!??!?!?!

YOU OUGHT TO BURN IN THE SANCTIFIED FIRES OF HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY FOR YOUR BLASPHEMOUS COMMENTS, THE WHOLE FILTHY CROWD OF YOU!


But you won't, because Ed isn't like that.
