[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 333160, member: 39190"] Can't say that I know the current England squad Wales.. the front row probably. I used to rate Byrne as a shoe-in. Ireland. I rate Heaslip but I don't know who the backbone is. France. Imanol, Servat, Jauzion.. SA is not the same without du Preez. Other shoe-ins; Fourie, Burger, Matfield, Smith, Smit. No-one near as important as du Preez, though. Matfield and Smit in very bad form at the mo and SA feeling it. Maybe time to move on.. NZ.. obviously McCaw, Carter and I feel Smith more so than Nonu. Mealamu is the epitomy of consistant excellence. Thorne. Muliaina has a couple of up-and-commers on his heels but when he fires, NZ are hard to stop. Aus has Sharpe, Pocock and Elsom. Probably the first choice front row as well but more because of a lack of depth than anything else (not that I don't rate them). Genia and AAC in the backs irreplaceable IMO. [/QUOTE]
