The Game Only Needs One Player. His name is Sébastien Chabal, and he dominates.
Make sure in this version he looks like chabal. Long, flowing locks, grizzly, strong beard, deadly piercing eyes. His tackles should put people in the hospital at least 1 time every match. FACT!

That's more "fuct" than "fact".

From a SH perspective, especially NZ, what about the people who have moved up north? surely - Hayman, Evans, Howlett be included to?

Those players playing outside NZ aren't eligible to play for the All Blacks... I would've picked a few players playing in the NH for my team, but cannot because of that reason...

I'd suggest making a few dozen extra faces that are available for use in create-a-player, but aren't assigned to any name. You just go into edit player, type in the unlicensed name, pop in the face on the player, set up the other physical stats and there you have it.

That's not what your fellow Kiwi, Ali Williams, has to say. What's that Ali? Can't understand you mate! It's hard to hear you with your jaw wired shut!

Ok?
.....

Nah Aus will be more like:

1.Ben Robinson
2.Tatafu Polatau-Nau
3.Ben Alexander
4.James Horwill
5.Kane Douglas
6.Rocky Elsom or Scott Higginbottam
7.David Pocock

15.James O'Connor

16.Stephen Moore
17.Laurie Weeks or Sekope Kepu
18.Dean Mumm or Will Caldell
19.Matt Hodgson or Dean Mumm
20.Luke Burgess or Josh Holmes or Patrick Phibbs (Nothin beats Genia though )
21.Berrick Barnes or Anthony Faingaa
22.Rob Horne or Francis Fainifo

There are soooooo many combos it ain't funny. But it is goood! Mumm could easily fill in a lock position. Will Caldell could be called up as well. Who knows what we could end up with. I think Australia has great depth at the moment. There are still many other players I could've named

Its not the squad, its the top 15 Faces that should be included in the game.

What does Tampon mean in French?

In rugby context, "un tampon" is a very strong tackle.


I agree Chabal is a must, if only for a commercial standpoint, as he is the one man that even non rugby fans know (at least in france). If you need a cover athlete for france, he's the one to reach for. Might be a little bit expensive.

So, for france :

- Sebastien Chabal
- Frederic Michalak
- Thierry Dusautoir
- William Servat
- Vincent Clerc
- Yannick Jauzion
- Morgan Parra
- Clement Poitrenaud
- Imanol Harinordoquy
- Louis Picamoles
- Mathieu Bastaraud
- Dimitri SZARZEWSKI
- Lionel NALLET
- François TRINH-DUC
- Jean-Baptiste ELISSALDE

 

[ranger]

Upon further thinking, the most recognizable and important NZ faces would be;

-Dan Carter
-Richie McCaw
-Ma'a Nonu
-Richard Kahui
-Luke McAlister
-Joe Rokococo
-Ali Williams
-Brad Thorn
-Jerome Kaino
-Mills Muliaina
-Corey Jane
-Conrad Smith
-Isaia Toeava
-Piri Weepu
-Jimmy Cowan
-Neemia Tialata
-Sitiveni Sivivatu
-Liam Messam
-Sione Lauaki

Thats of right now however, by the time the game is released, these NZers will be huge names;

-Aaron Cruden
-Victor Vito
-Israel Dagg
-Zac Guildford
-Robbie Robinson
-Robbie Fruean
-Luke Braid
-Lelia Masaga
-Rene Ranger

[Hermezzz]

Argentina
*Juan Pablo Orlandi (I'd say Ayerza)
*Mario Ledesma???(could probably play another RWC) if not, Alberto Vernet Basualdo (nah, Agustín Creevy will probably replace him, he's playing the Vodacom Cup with Pampas XV right now)
*Rodrigo Roncero
*Esteban Lozada (they're looking for replacements all the time, I don't think he makes the starting XV for the RWC)
*Patricio Albacete
*Genaro Fessia
*Juan Manuel Leguizamon
*Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe
*Alfredo Lalanne
*Juan Martin Hernandez
*Gonzalo Camacho
*Miguel Avramovic/Martin Rodriguez (probably both, or Felipe Contepomi instead of Avramovic)
*Gonzalo Tiesi
*Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino
*Marcelo Bosch (I just don't think so, I wouldn't include him)

A couple of changes...

[wjd23104]

I'm pretty sure the 2011 World Cup Squad will look something like this:

New Zealand

1. Tony Woodcock
2. Andrew Hore
3. Neemia Tialata
4. Brad Thorn
5. Chris Jack
6. Jerome Kaino
7. Richie McCaw
8. Kieran Read
9. Jimmy Cowan
10. Dan Carter
11. Zac Guiford
12. Ma'a Nonu
13. Conrad Smith
14. Sitiveni Sivivatu
15. Mils Muliaina

15 must have players are hard to choose! There's plenty other NZ players that would need unique faces.

Chris Jack? would have to be Ali Williams even though he's currently sidelined ( Chris Jack is over the hill). Cory Jane has to be ahead of Guilford on last years form. Other than that, Kevin Mealamu might force his way back into the Hooker role by the time this game is released.
