Utility XV

[big ginger 8]

It's been a while since I made a general opinion XV thread so here's the Utility XV thread. Simply pick the best players for positions that aren't they're first position.

1. O. Franks
2. Can't think of any there's plenty of props and flankers who moved to hooker but that was so they could play at a high level
3. Jenkins
4. Boric
5. McLaughlin
6. Hines
7. Harinordoquy
8. O'Brien
9. Williams
10. Pienaar
11. Hougaard
12. Carter
13. North
14. Nacewa
15. Jane

I wondered why the forum had seemed so much better recently.

You cut me so deep.

This guy can play lock and loose forward. Daniel Adongo

 

[Draggs]

Just when I thought we had these all dead and buried.

Is North really a utility player?
Hasn't he only played wing at professional level?

I'll give it a go, just to assist Big Ginger in some redundant way...

1. Beast Mtawarira (was a flanker and 8th man before bulking up)
2. Schalk Brits (can play basically anywhere)
3. Coenie Oosthuizen
4. Rynardt Elstadt
5. Danie Rossouw
6. Duane Vermeulen
7. Schalk Burger
8. Pierre Spies
9. Francois Hougaard
10. Dan Carter
11. Bryan Habana
12. Francois Steyn
13. Jaque Fourie
14. Rene Ranger
15. Pat Lambie

16. Bismarck Du Plessis (IMHO could be just as effective at flanker or no. 8)
17. Owen Franks
18. Jebb Sinclair
19. Dean Mumm
20. Frederic Michalak
21. Ruan Pienaar
22. Adam Ashley-Cooper

 

[Amobokoboko]

1. Afeaki
2. Brits
3. Franks
4. Chabal
5. Dallaglio
6. Parisse
7. Messam
8. Kane Thompson
9. Mauro Bergamasco ( altho not the best in this position)
10. Pienaar ( after today's game)
11. Mirco Bergmasco
12. Carter
13. Lambie
14. Kahui
15. Nainai-Williams

Sort of should do the trick

 

[Draggs]

Is North really a utility player?

No. Many want to see him move back to midfield, but he has only played wing, as you have stated.
He was an inside centre for the U16's I believe.
