Strongest International Line-Ups

[Bluebirds]

Right guys - I'm trying to update all international teams on the game so that they have their strongest line-ups when I play against them.

So, can you people help me in posting what you think your team would play with if everyone was fit? Obviously don't include those that have retired from international rugby - e.g. - Martin Johnson.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Bluebirds]

Anyone?

 

[portland18]

Do you use that Squad Management option to update your squads mate? Its fairly handy , I've used it so far to change a few starting XVs. Though I'm yet to do all the internationals.

 

[Bluebirds]

Yeah I do mate. That's why I wany as many line-ups as possible.

Any chance you could post the ones you've done?

I'd got the majority. I'm looking for Scotland, France, Italy and the big SH teams mainly. I've got an idea as to what line-up's they'd play with - I just need you guys to confirm.

There ae reason why you keep some players there and not bring in players who just start performin even though rokocoko and howlett or suggling the all blacks cant afford to keep changing there line up based on a yr o oustanding perfromance these new players have to show to they cn keep playing consistent at a high level.

the all blacks have changed there squad to much based on a super 12 seasons perfromance or npc and then those players end up playing horrle later on Joeli Vidiri is a perfect example so'oialo who i thought should be and all black choked to many times during the world cup.

 

[Peta_nuku9]

rico gear is the best winger in new zeland at the moment he should start over howlett, howleet has gas but not a great rugby brain, also put carter at 1st 5, so that tuitopou can hop into 2nd 5

im with chrio

[ALLBLACKS]

howlett has a very good rugby brain and works harder than any other rugby winger if anyone should be droped it should be rokocoko but like ive said the all blacks have done this way too much of changing there team based on a short period of time they need to stick with a cinsistent team for awhile.

id also take kinkon89's team over the fijian team i named.but sivivatu wouldnt play for fiji though his aim to be with the all blacks but if thats the case than you can make the islanders team in rugby 2005 very strong ahaha.

like kupu vanisi,tane tuipulotu,sione luaki to play for tonga.
