ok ok i dont know the Toulouse team that well,
Gareth Thomas ?
i meant for fullback, he was a great welsh and lions fullback in my opinionOn the left wing, instead of Jason Robinson? Nah, I'd rather have George North and move Robinson to the right wing.
I am happy with the selections in bold. Not saying I don't agree with the other but I am unsure to varying degrees. My own considerations..
2 I have a lot of time for Du Plesis.. think he'd monster the other options in an actual game.. i mean transport him as is back in time.. I don't know, just my admittedly half-enlightened view
3 yeah, lets go Marais, I just don't know enough. Visagie held his own pretty well and I have a soft spot for Ollie
7 too many options but I'd go Juan Smith at his best as pushing for World XV honors as well, very underrated workhorse player
9 Danie Craven or Joost.. not sure how much too weigh that mystique and legend of Craven vs actual known (speaking of myself here) ability of Joost
12 ... I've always had a lot of time for Japie Mulder and Hennie le Roux as a combo but not sure they'd sneak in. I'm sure we can do better than JdV though I love him.
14 My dad swears by 'the prince of wingers' Carel du Plesis
Maybe read the opinions of more informed pundits;
Scotland:
France:
01: Christian Califano
02: Rafael Ibanez
03: Nicolas Mas
04: Olivier Brouzet
05: Fabien Pelous
06: Olivier Magne
07: Jean Pierre Reives
08: Abdelatif Benazzi
09: Pierre Berbizier / Didier Camberbero / Fabien Galthie ...what a choice!
10: Christoph Lamaison
11: Philippe Saint Andre
12: Yanick Jauzion
13: Phillipe Sella
14: Émile Ntamack
15: Serge Blanco

Actually, let me have a think here and get back to it..
Interesting lists there guys...
Scotland greats without Gary Armstrong? Or Doddie Weir or David Sole
An England team without Rory Underwood or Johnny. Will Carling would have pushed Greenwood all the way and Tim Rodber has to be in there somewhere.
France:
Ibanez for hooker.
Benazzi has to be in there and was class but probably a 6/lock rather than 8.
Dont forget wings/ fb's like Jean Baptiste Lafond, Sh like Camberbero, Openside like Magne.
Yeah Canuk, i cant believe he didnt come up before....they guy was top class...and must be amongst Frances top cap earners aswell showing his durability.
Pretty surprised to see this is the first time Ibanez is mentioned as France's all time hooker on this thread. I always rated him very highly. Walter Spanghero and Robert Paparemborde haven't been mentioned much either
not really i agree with most off it but i would say is im not sure if we should have Todd Blackadder for the Blindside spot but btw that is looking pretty goodI'll have a go at the AB's
1) McDowell
2) Fitzpatrick
3) Loe
4) Meads
5) jones
6) micheal jones (plays 7 but a amazing player
7) Richie
8) Read
9) Marshall
