Your team's greatest XV - from the Heineken Cup era / Super Rugby era

[psychic duck]

simple topic, read from the above ***le

my Ospreys XV

15. Lee Byrne
14. Tommy Bowe
13. Andrew Bishop
12. James Hook
11. Shane Williams
10. Dan Biggar
9. Justin Marshall
1. Paul James
2. Barry Williams
3. Adam Jones
4. Ian Gough
5. Alun-Wyn Jones
6. Jerry Collins
7. Marty Holah
8. Filo Tiatia

not that different from the current Ospreys side, but the inaugral Ospreys side was crap

please tell me your teams, I want to have one for every team

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Biggar at 10 :lol: says it all

 

[King_D'Arcy]

See 2009 Leinster starting XV in the Heineken Cup Final

 

[psychic duck]

See 2009 Leinster starting XV in the Heineken Cup Final

that was a good team, but surely you would have Felipe Contepomi, Denis Hickie, Keith Gleeson, and Girvan Dempsey into consideration

 

[munstermuffin]

Munster is tough so I'll give a try

Payne (Crotty unlucky here)
Howlett
Tipoki
Halstead
Horgan
O'Gara
Stringer
Foley
Wallace
Williams
Gallimh
Paul O'Connell
Hayes
Wood (In that season he changed Munsters professionalism in so many ways)
Horan

 

[psychic duck]

I agree with most of the your team, but I would have the Claw. And I would have Earls for Horgan but he has played mainly centre for Munster, so on second thoughts Dowling would shade it over Horgan

Cardiff RFC / Cardiff Blues

1- Gethin Jenkins
2- Jonathan Humphreys
3- Dai Young
4- Derwyn Jones
5- Paul ***o
6- Dan Baugh
7- Martyn Williams
8- Xavier Rush
9- Robert Howley
10- Neil Jenkins
11- Gareth Thomas
12- Mark Ring / Mike Hall
13- Jaime Roberts
14- Anthony Sullivan
15- Mike Rayer

 

[psychic duck]

6- Dan Baugh
14- Anthony Sullivan
15- Mike Rayer

Dan Baugh was he better than Molitika?

but surely Ben Blair and Leigh Halfpenny or even Rhys Williams are better than Sullivan and Rayer

Theres also Hemi Taylor, Gwyn Jones and Emyr Lewis to look into that backrow.

Sullivan was good. Halfpenny aint the finish product yet. Rhys was good but Rayer played in a poor period of Welsh rugby in which he was decent in.

[Teh Mite]

Borthwick?

You're serious?

 

[psychic duck]

Eifion Roberts, you are having are laugh, isn't he a loosehead anyway, surely there must be a better tighthead

Redpath left out for somebody who was rotated with Wigglesworth,

Lee Thomas instead of Graeme Bond

the leading try scorer in Premiership history Steve Hanley or Sale's best ever player Juan Martin Fernandez-Lobbe also left out

sorry but you are a poor selector

[psychic duck]

did Russell/Luger play long enough to be considered? compared to Haughton or Constable

wasn't Diprose good for a while?

I thought Chris Jack was rubbish when he came over to the UK

perhaps Grewcock or Scott Murray would be better options at lock

:lol: Coming from the person who selected Biggar in his initial Osprey side :lol:

leave Dan Biggar alone, he isn't that bad, and is still young enough to improve

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If he needs to improve does that make him the greatest #10 for Ospreys?
