Your nations worst XV

[Draggs]

I find it hard to keep track of Pretorius' clubs. Just pick a team and a year and you are probably not far off.
He joined us after the 2010 S14, you are correct. He was playing in Perth previously.

 

[michaelbolton]

England past 5 years otherwise too much choice

tim payne
lee mears
david wilson
louis deacon
steve borthwick
struggling for bad flankers, any ideas??
nick easter (worst in team easily, so overrated)
paul hodgson
andy goode (close second, kicked every bit of ball he got)
leslie vainikolo (never same for england as gloucester)
shontayne hape
danny hipkiss (bit harsh but cant think of any others)
ugo monye
delon armitage (very overrated, only good at kicking)

 

[Seaton]

He was playing in Perth previously.

Or at least tried to.

I bet even his agent has a flow chart of his different employers.

 

[Tomsey]

The Australian side that lost to Samoa last year is the worst one off test side I've seen.

15. Mark Gerrard
14. Rod Davies
13. Adam Ashley-Cooper
12. Pat McCabe
11. Digby Ioane
10. Matt Giteau
9. Nick Phipps
8. Ben McCalman
7. Matt Hodgson
6. Rocky Elsom
5. Nathan Sharpe
4. Sitaleki Timani
3. Ben Alexander
2. Stephen Moore
1. Sekope Kepu

No size or mobility in the forward pack (which is nearly impossible. you usually get one if you don't have the other) . not enough size in the backs either. Especially against the massive Samoans. Too many debutantes. Matt Giteau was the worst number 10 in the country at this stage.

 

[Seaton]

Congratulations, 9 pages in and you are in an elite club of posters that understood the opening post! :lol:

 

[psychic duck]

this team must be up there as Wales' worst at least in my memory, the touring side that lost to embarrassingly to Suntory Sungoliath in 2001, surely the worst XV Wales have put out since 2000

15. Rhys Williams
14. Gareth Thomas
13. Jamie Robinson
12. Stephen Jones
11. Craig Morgan
10. Gavin Henson
9. Gareth Cooper
1. Duncan Jones
2. Andrew Lewis
3. Ben Evans
4. Adam Jones
5. Chris Stephens
6. Andy Lloyd
7. Saul Nelson
8. Geraint Lewis

an honourable mention to the side that lost 62-5 to England in 2007, although that side would still beat the one above

15. Lee Byrne
14. Aled Brew
13. Tom Shanklin
12. Gareth Thomas
11. Dafydd James
10. Ceri Sweeney
9. Gareth Cooper
1. Iestyn Thomas
2. Huw Bennett
3. Chris Horsman
4. Will James
5. Rob Sidoli
6. Alun-Wyn Jones
7. Colin Charvis
8. Michael Owen
