The Beast is a loosehead, and do you mean Jannie du Plessis at 7?

No problem. I actually thought you were making some sort of joke or reference that I didn't get. The clincher was 'Jacques du Plessis' after reading the Beast. I took the name at face value and the possibility that you meant 'Jannie' didn't even occur to me!

AAC ahead of the likes of Patrick Osbourne, Cory Jane and Drew Mitchell? And then theres Tim Nanai Williams who would beast AAC all day in any position that he plays.

And Waisake is the best winger in the world this year end of story.

Not a Fan of Adam then

Not a Fan of Adam then

He's actually a fine player but he's no top 10 winger thats for sure. He tends to only play 13 and wing these days but I think he's a better center. I thought he played his best rugby for Australia at fullback and center personally. But then he has to get past Folau and Kurandrani and that just aint going to happen.

Huget at number 3 is also a wonder. He's looked totally out of his depth every time he's played NZ. Although I do remember him trying hard and being a pretty tough bugger after being steamrolled by Ranger.

Aaron Smith best SH in the World? Genia or du Preez?
Dan Carter best FH in the World? Or just most accomplished? Who is then?
Julian Savea best Winger in the World? Or George North? if neither who?
Ma'a Nonu best 2F in the World? if not then who?
Conrad Smith best Centre in the World? if not then who?
Ben Smith best Fullback in the World? Or Israel Folau? if neither then who?

You might think that, but you'd be wrong
