Some greats up there!

Possibly I have to many Welshmen there! Possibly Dan Carter could be included at 10!

 

[An Tarbh]

especially when Jenkins isn't even the best Welsh outhalf, probably barely in the top 5

11. David Duckham

Hmm, I`d rather go amateur era team/ pro era team, as the game has changed so much over the past 100-odd years.

Amateur/Professional
15- JPR Williams/ Christian Cullen
14-Ray Mordt/Jeff Wilson
13-Danie Gerber/Tana Umanga
12- Andre Boniface/Tim Horan- so no place for Mike Gibson and Phillipe Sella then- damn difficult call this!
11- JJ Williams/ David Campese
10- Hugo Porta/Dan Carter- no Mark Ella, Phil Bennett, Barry John- freaking impossible to pick really
9- Gareth Edwards/Joost vd Westhuizen
8- Hennie Muller/ Zinzan Brooke- couldn`t find a spot for Buck Shelford
7- Michael Jones/Ritcie McCaw- and no place for J-P Rives, Michael Pratt etc.
6- Kel Tremain/Abdel Benazzi
5- Frik du Preez/John Eales
4- Colin Meads/Martin Johnson- so no W-J McBride,Gordon Brown- this is really impossible to call
3-Ken Gray/Patrico Noriega- Charlie Faulkner came pretty close- would`ve been the Pontypridd front row
2- Bobby Windsor/Sean Fitzpatrick
1- Graham Price/Os Du Randt- no place for Fran Cotton or Syd Millar
