Top 15 Must Have Player Faces For Each Country

Not anyday like
You have to remember how good Rocokocco was and he is still a regular :/
 
I also think that some people are forgetting that you don't need to mention a full starting team of players with real faces.
For example I would rather have O'Gara who starts on the bench have a real face than Cian Healy who starts.
Or Wilkinson/Flood have a real face opposed to Lee Mears

Yeah, this is a good point. There's more to it than whether they're in the 1st XV or not...
eg. Tana Umaga wont be in the All Blacks (he'll be playing for Waikato... and he may not even be in their starting lineup) but he's one of the most influential players of all time, or at least one who is still playing.
and Sonny Bill, although he probably wont be a first choice centre he's such a big name that he would need to have a unique face.

15 unique faces per Super 15 team would be awesome, and the Magners League etc...

WOW!!! I didn't know that Gear could play two positions at the same time :p
If there was gonna be unique faces for players who only played in Super Rugby i'd add Aled deMalmanche and Jamie Mackintosh. After the RWC is finished and half the All Blacks head overseas these guys will definitely get the call up.
 
It's Rico and Hosea... The Gear brothers... Duh.

Why would it be a joke @George? Just thought I'd show how awesome the NZ Super teams will be. I'm NOT saying EVERY name has to have a special face. Sheesh. You guys are too anal here, huh.
 
Doesn't Rico Gear play in Japan these days? Or am I thinking of someone else?
I'm sure he went there wen Worcester went down
 
Yeah that's right... I made a boo-boo and tried to cover it up... :p

Ha, fair enough... I'd have to say that Jane would be NZ's best Winger by a long way... at the moment he's probably the best in the world with Habana's form being very poor
