Southern Hemisphere XV

[ConradCarter]

Thread title should say XV.

just wondering what team your XV would be. You're allowed 5 subs.

 

[cyRil]

....Right, is this football, rugby, or what? First 11? 20 man squad? What's going on here?

 

[ConradCarter]

Hahahaha! First 15 is what I was tryin' to say. Cheers.

 

[cyRil]

Right cool!
I'm gonna give a team a bash:

15. Mils Muliaina
14. Cory Jane
13. Conrad Smith
12. Jean de Villiers
11. Sitiveni Sivivatu
10. Dan Carter
9. Fourie du Preez

1. Tony Woodcock
2. Keven Mealamu
3. Ben Alexander
4. Andries Bekker
5. Victor Matfield
6. Rocky Elsom
7. Richie McCaw
8. Keiran Read

Desperate to put Heinrich in there, but McCaw gets away with everything, which is a bonus as a 7.
Don't know which side of the scrum Alexander prefers, but he looks good and I couldn't think of anyone else that stood out.
Read over Spies cuz he actually knows how to play rugby.

 

[Sam Owen]

15. Israel Dagg
14. Drew Mitchell
13. Conrad Smith
12. Dan Carter
11. Bryan Habana
10. Matt Giteau
09. Piri Weepu
08. Kieran Reid
07. Ritchie McCaw
06. Rocky Elsom
05. Victor Matfield
04. Brad Thorn
03. Ben Alexander
02. Kevin Mealamu
01. Tony Woodcock

I wish I knew the names of the players from Argentina, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and a knowledge of how good they are, you could say my team is more a tri-nations team.

 

[Seaton]

For me, this would be it

15. Muliania
14. Jane
13. Smith
12. JdV/ Nonu (Depending on opposition, ie Nonu for physicality)
11. Habana
10. Carter
9. Fourie du Preez
8. Read (on current form)
7. Richie McCaw
6. Burger/ Elsom (once again, depending on opposition
5. Matfield
4. Thorn
3. Alexander
2. Mealamu
1. Robinson (Just like him, looks like a tank)

 

[cyRil]

Meh! I read it as a Tri Nations team! I'd have a few Argies in there otherwise - Ledesma and Fernandez-Lobbe would definitely make it.

 

[Amobokoboko]

15. Mils
14. Drew Mitchell
13. Conrad Smith
12. Nonu
11. Sivivatu
10. DC/ Ruan Pienaar

05. Victor Matfield/ Ali Williams ( when fit)
04. Brad Thorn/ Tom Donnelly
03. Ben Alexander
02. Kevin Mealamu
01. Tony Woodcock

I think this would bring out a more attacking side rather than having Carter on, but I would also toy with the idea of having him at inside center with cooper, like the Aussies are doing at the moment.

 

[Sam Owen]

Lol who puts puri weepu as your half back

I did its my team lol. Good team you have there. I put Piri in due to his man of the match performance against the Springboks.
