Good topic. I found it a bit tough to shoe horn enough English and Scottish players in, so those selections are slightly more questionable (although I fail to see why Duckham doesn't get more love). In hingsight, I've placed a lot of emphasis on longevity and success and know little to nithing about rugby before the 70s.

I was with you till the random Simon Taylor entry. If you had to have a Jock - John Beattie (the elder), Derek White or iain Paxton are infinitely superior choices

Yes very true although until he was injured Taylor was playing some fantastic rugby in 2001.

Derek White was good but always second fiddle to Dean Richards
