What's your ideal team?This is mine:

Fullback:Montgomery (SA)
Wings:Drew Mitchell (AUS) and Habana (SA)
Centers:Giteau (AUS) and MacAlister (NZ)
Fly:Carter (NZ)
Scrum half:Dupreez (SA)
Number 8:Sooyalo (NZ)
Flankers: McCaw (NZ) and Betsen (F)
Locks:Matfield (SA) and Botha (SA)
Props:Sheridan (ENG) and Roncero (ARG)
Hooker:Regan (ENG)
 
I'd have Simon Shaw at lock, Ledesma or Ibanez at hooker and Fijian 14 Delasau partnering Habana as winger. I'd also argue Hernandez at 10, with Wilkinson on the bench for the last 10 minutes of tight matches.
 
I'm going for flair, otherwise Wilkinson would walk into the team.

15.Latham
14.Caucaunibuca
13.O'Driscoll
12.Giteau
11.Habana
10.Carter
9.Du Preez
1.Sheridan
2.Smit
3.Hayman
4.Jack
5.Matfield
6.Collins
7.McCaw
8.Bonnaire

Subs: Ibanez, Roncero, O'Connell, George Smith, Ellisalde, Hernandez, Mortlock
 
This isn't a 'best XV' but it's the 'Brum-barians' I play with in Rugby 08.

Aside from the obvious Brumbies domination it's also mostly made up of Stade Francais, Munster and Leicester players.

I would have a team full of robots. Or monkeys. Or ninjas. Or pirates. Or maybe a little of each. I would call them the RobotMonkeyNinjaPirates. The name alone would scare away the competition.

Not if the opposition team included Jerry Collins and Sebastian Chabal. They are the combination you have suggested above.

The coincidence is that I would totally agree with this team and would not change it one bit - Though I am not sure whether this team would really gel together - Australains, English and South Africans playing on one pitch - I'd pay to watch that one!
