Same here, so I will wisely not put a starting XV on this page.

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

15. Ben Foden
14. Tommy Bowe
13. Brian O'Driscoll
12. James Hook
11. Shane Williams
10. Dan Parks
9. Ben Youngs

1. Gethin Jenkins
2. William Servat
3. Adam Jones
4. Bradley Davies
5. Paul O'Connell
6. Tom Croft
7. Not really sure, actually, so I'll go for our Martyn.
8. Jamie Heaslip

16. Ken Owens
17. Nicolas Mas
18. Alistar Kellock
19. Iminol Harinorduque
20. Richie Rees (More as an impact sub than the next-best scrum-half in Europe, if I'm honest.)
21. Jamie Roberts
22. Stephen Jones

 

[dullonien]

Difficult one this...

01 Jenkins
02 Servat
03 Adam Jones (French tightheads have disappeared from my brain)
04 O'Connell (although I'm not sure for how much longer)
05 Bradley Davies (has had a great season. Not sure if this partership would work though)
06 Tom Croft
07 Dusautoir
08 Heaslip / Harinordoquy (Parisse missed most of last season)

09 Parra (Phillips wasn't great last season)
10 Stephen Jones
11 Bowe
12 Roberts
13 O'Driscoll (awesome partership)
14 Ashton
15 Medard / Poitrenaud / Foden (both French players a little hit and miss though, Byrne's been aweful)

16 Mas (Barcella injured)
17 Mathew Rees
18 Simon Shaw
19 Harinordoquy
20 Phillips (Still good impact from bench)
21 James Hook (ultimate cover player)
22 Shane Williams

Both Jauzion and Bastareaud unlucky to miss out, but that Lions centre partnership was too good to overlook, then Hook can cover both fly-half and both centre positions, whilst Bowe can also cover centre. I'm sure a French second row could come in aswell, probably in front of O'Connell who had a poor season for his standards, but I can't think at the mo.

Edit: Sorry Scotland. Parks, Hines, Ford and the tripple B's are all there or thereabouts

 

[cyRil]

Don't know why Bradley Davies has appeared in everyone's team. I think he's had a great season, but if it was up to me he wouldn't even make the Welsh XV.

 

[Conal]

i picked himm first !

this 6 nations he was on fire if he always playslike that he should become a legend of a player

 

[eot345]

its wierd because in my mind wales have more stand out players than england but england are a better team

 

[eot345]

:huh:if you look at there starting squads you can argue over the exact squads but these are them roughly as it stands.

Which team is better in that Pos::huh:

1.Andrew sheridan 1.Gethin Jenkins Wales
2.Dylan Hartley 2.Gareth Williams Eng
3.Dan Cole 3.Adam Jones Eng (only if Dan Cole can keep His current form up)
4.Courtney lawes 4.Luke Chaeteris Eng
5.simon shaw 5.Alun Jones Eng
6.Tom Croft 6.Andy Powell Eng
7.Lewis Moody 7.Matyn Williams Eng
8.Nick Easter 8.Ryan Jones Wales
9.Ben youngs 9.Gareth Cooper Wales (cant rate youngs on 1 match)
10.Flood 10.Stephen Jones Wales
11.Chris Ashton 11.Shane Williams Wales
12.Shontanye Hape 12.Jamie Roberts Wales
13.Mike Tindall 13.James Hook Wales
14.Mark Cueto 14.Tom James Wales
15.Ben Foden 15.Lee Byrne Eng


So here we say wales have 8 out of 15 and England 7 out of 15
Wales also have a advantage in key areas Flyhalf Etc

so why do england tend to win over the last coupe of years?? please enlighten me
