[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 992504, member: 76349"] I'll give it a go LH: Vunipola, Genge, Sutherland (Healy is past his peak imo, still good but won't be good enough when this comes round) Hooker: George, Kelleher, McInally (thought Owens had a pretty poor 6N if I'm honest) Tighthead: Furlong, Sinkler, Porter Locks: Ryan, Itoje, Henderson, Lawes, Jones (assuming Kruis is in Japan) Backrow: Vunipola, Curry, Underhill, Watson, Navidi, Doris, Leavy, Faletau (those last two are dependent on returns to form after long term injury layoffs) Scrumhalf: Tomos Williams, George Horne, Gareth Davies (this could well be all Welsh and few would be able to complain) Outhalf: Farrell, Ford, Russell (I hate to leave Sexton out but that's life) Centre: Tualagi, Ringrose, J Davies, Slade, Henshaw (not sold on Henshaw but there's a massive lack of 12s atm) Back Three: Larmour, Conway, Adams, Williams, Hogg, May, Watson, Stockdale (the last spot could go anywhere and will come down to form but if Stockdale hits his stride he'll definitely go so I threw him in) Of those I left out, you could make a decent case for Healy, Owens, Stander, Sexton, Daly and probably a few others I'm forgetting about. Hard to find someone who I'd be happy with as captain and also a guarenteed starter, I'd probably take a punt on Itoje. Breakdown of mine is 15 English 12 Irish 8 Welsh 6 Scots Which I think is fair based on relative strength at the moment. The three Celtic teams are all pretty poor right now and England blow hot and cold but I think there's enough individual talent there to beats South Africa. If (big if) we can match them upfront there's enough talent in that backline. [/QUOTE]
