[UHtiger]

Bahahaha, AB's lost one game all year, destroyed south Africa and Australia in the tri nations and barely had a try scored against them on their end of year tour and thorn and Jane are the only ones in there.by the way, jane had played most of his international career at wing.

[MrCricketRox]

No McCaw? Gay

[Akseliglooo3]

Also Schaulk Burger is actually an open-side flanker. In South Africa 6 is open-side and 7 is blind-side.

[Akseliglooo3]

3. Adam Jones

[OPENFLANGE7]

you are a little filthy EX-british robbing stealing twat, you nor your ansestors were wanted here, fuck off please do not talk to me.

[reggie2k11]

1. Cian healy

[liamobrien06]

tough enough to call it im choosin on current form and recent performances and im probably northern hemisphere bias cus im irish

1-castrogiovani 2-smit 3-jones

4-matfield 5-o'connel

6-elsom 8-parise 7-o'brien

9-pienaar 10-carter

12-d'arcy 13-o'driscoll

11-mitchell 15-hernandez 14-o'connor

probably bias with the d'arcy choice but him and o'driscoll are lethal together

[reggie2k11]

[MrNconway]

Agreein wit kariraa on da back-row nd beale

[Kariraa]

That is not the best XV of 2010!!! In fact it is an out of form XV, well at least half of them anyway. Who doesn't start Dan Carter and Richie McCaw? A wallaby in the front row surrounded by Frenchmen, you have to be taking the piss...the All Black 6, 7 and 8 of McCaw, Kaino and Read have been destroying teams this year. Bryan Habana and Matt Giteau...um that is just shithouse I think you are thinking of 2009. Tommy Bowe WTF! Try Rico Gear. How is Beale not at fullback??? Terrible XV!

[MrNconway]

9. Du preez

10. Carter

11. Mitchell

12. Nonu(after da ba bas on sat)

13. Benji Marshal(if we cud take him frm league)

14. Bowe

15. Beale is on top form

[dmcc13]

@brynjones11 nonu 13??? are you taking the piss??? no matfield?? alexander....what? and giteau naybe when he'splaying well but he's just not...go get a video of ireland v all blacks....darcy and odriscoll are still miles ahead of the rest of the worlds centres only smith and bill williams maybe able to touch them...its the pity the rest of the irish team are crap

[dmcc13]

I think its hard to define the definate best but after the autumn internationals i dont think you can look past the following;

1. Woodcock 2. Mealamu (even with no game time) 3. Hayman ( even playing club rugby) 4.Lawes (when thorn comes back he could step it up again) 5. Matfield 6. Elsom 7. McCaw 8. Read (harinordaquay and heaslip just behind) 9. Genia 10. Carter 11. Gear 12. Darcy 13. O'Driscoll (back to their best) 14.Jane 15.Muliaina (the most underrated player of all time!!!)

[Crusadersxv]

hmm this is mine but yours would've been good for last year tho

1.Tony Woodcock 2. Kevin Mealamu 3. Adam Rhys Jones

4.Brad Thorn 5. Victor Mattfield

6. Rocky Elsom 8. Kieran Read 7.Richie McCaw

[jesssta07]

@MrRandomhawk28 israel dag no. mills all day. kieran read playing wickid footy at nmbr 8.

[OPENFLANGE7]

ok then england are shit :/ im sure nzl got beat by austrailia on saturday and we beat austrailia?

[keepa16]

@OPENFLANGE7 are you serious?! you are trying to imply england are better than the AB's?! ahahhahaha!!!!!

We played an average line up and an average game and england still did not look at all like they were going to win. Face it you knob southern hemisphere rugby will come out trumps on northern hemisphere rugby all the time. And australia only lost to you guys because they are building a team for the world cup and next year if you face off with them they will steamroll your ignorant arses

[danthemansa1]

Went downhill in the backline. 1. Robinson 2. Servat 3. Hayman 4. V Mat 5. Nallet 6. Burger 7. McCaw 8. Harinordoquy 9. Genia 10. Carter (Dude, Morne isn't even SA's best flyhalf) 11. Shane Williams (Habana is USELESS) 12. Ma'a Nonu (Giteau is in horrible form) 13. Jaques Fourie 14. Bowe 15. Jane Special mention to Brussouw who is unlucky not to make it

[dodger2k11]

@danthemansa1 look when the video was made? these players were playing well at the time and morne was kicking over everything and he obv is the boks best flyhalf

[danthemansa1]

@dodger2k11 Dude Morne is average and over-rated. He kicks everything away and you can't put someone in a world XV because he can kick at goal. He is a kak tackler, his decision-making is useless and he kicks away possession constantly

[Thehiman94]

@danthemansa1 instead of jaques fourie Put in brian o driscoll

[MatthewHolt11]

Tighthead should be either Owen franks or Adam Jones

Bakkies should go and either Sharpe or Thorn, actually yeah just sharpe

7 should be richie and 6 should be rocky

10 should be DC or Quade

12 Jamie roberts

11. Cory Jane

14. Adam Ashley-cooper

[sambmx382]

no english???

[enstad90]

9. Genia

10. Copper

11. O´Conner

12. Nonu

13. Fourie

14. Jane

15. Muliaina

[twinytwo]

@enstad90 tbf Fourie is useless..

[drtyda]

@enstad90 agree except quade cooper. needs more time in the squad. Dan Carter dominates him in every way

[sneakysouljahz]

oh wow no dan carter no richie Mccaw no ma nonu

[MrMototo]

you need brian o drisscoil and gregen and jason robinson and kevin mealamu

[LorcanHurley]

9. Genia

10.Cooper

11. O'Connor

12. Nonu

13.Fourie

14.Bowe

15.Beale

(australia have the best backline!)

[sneakysouljahz]

@LorcanHurley did u not watch the trination and see how our back line dominated nonu smith jane dagg carter mills wepu way to good for aussy.

[sambrown18]

this must be based on 2009 lol because it sure doesnt reflect this year

[johnston189]

@esky94 this was made a while a go, things will have changed

[stevrich89]

number 8 should be jamie heaslip

[L0XR0D]

sorry but richie at 7, carter at 10 and switch mills with jane and put jane at 14. The only rugby players that i do agree on your world XV were matfield, thorn and giteau

[OPENFLANGE7]

th3 springboks beat france like, 41 - 9 or something, france won a grandslam in the 6 nations and beat nzl didnt they?

[OPENFLANGE7]

yeh ino hes 34 still itl be gud to see wht hes like now. nd we beat wallabies last month i dnt think well win but atleast semi's

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 wallabies had half their pack missing that match, they beat the springboks 30-13 but saying that the boks are off form and don't look like winning anything atm

[OPENFLANGE7]

lol aye wered you say like? btw you hear bout jason robinson coming out of retirement :0 and aye, 3rd or 4th, by the time 2011 comes we will b one of the top contenders

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 jason robinson? hes like 35 lost his pace and no yous aint gonna win it , the AB's or the wallabies will

[OPENFLANGE7]

england are shit? okay :/ - what country u from ? nd england arent shit, ide say there, 3rd in the world? ye

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 new zealand haha england 3rd? dont make me laugh

[MrMurphyhill]

@OPENFLANGE7 yes england are shit. . . Poorly skilled average players that play boring rugby

[OPENFLANGE7]

and yes, ben foden does start for england actually dooshe

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 but hes shit? like england

[OPENFLANGE7]

actually dodger moody can play 6 too, have you seen the way he throws himsel round the field, not even richie does that like moody, nd yeah foden, like i said (i dno y, i like him) nd no, 12 and 13 stay there. biiach

[OPENFLANGE7]

yeh none are terrible just its a bad line up. anyways here: 1. andrew sherridan (when he's fit) 2. john smit 3. carl hayman 4. paul o' connel 5. victor matfield 6. lewis moody 7. richie mccaw 8. Sergio Parisse 9. morgan parra 10. dan carter 11. shayne williams 12. driscoll 13. nonu 14. habbana 15. ben foden (dno y, i like him)

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 looks like you havent watched rugby in a while?fair enough 1,3,4,5,7,10,11,14 john smit is nothing what he used to be, hes just a fat normal hooker now, watch the tri nations and you'll see, lewis moody, hes a 7 isnt he? you need a big runner at 6 like rocky elsom or schalk burger. 8 parise just looks good because he plays for italy, hes not as good as the likes of heaslip harinordiquay and spies. 9. SH dominates in this area Genia and du preez are alot better then any NH scrumhalf

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 12 and 13 need switching around then you've got it right. and at 15 ben foden? he doesnt even start for england , hes young and will get better but steyn,cooper,jane,kearney, muliania are a lot better alternatives, seriously i was being generous you cant call my team shit if you havent watched rugby in a good while by the looks of ur team

[OPENFLANGE7]

dont meen to be sly but this was a terrible line up

[dodger2k11]

@OPENFLANGE7 this was based on form from 29th june when i made it so tell me the changes you'd make and none of the players in this team are terrible

[coscucolombiano7]

whats the song, please? :S

answer me

[dodger2k11]

@coscucolombiano7 my sacrifice - creed

[coscucolombiano7]

@dodger2k11 THANKS !! :)

[LomU99]

Giteau did nothing this year, and leaving out McCaw and Pierre Spies is a joke. Steyn over Carter is debatable, but has merit, and having Thorn over Andries Bekker is a crime.

With Tommy Bowe I guess you just wanted an Irishman on the team, but he would struggle to make some teams bench in the Super 14(let alone start), there are so many wingers so far ahead of him. Digby Ioane, Hosea Gear, Zac Guildford, Francois Hougaard to name just the obvious ones.

[dodger2k11]

@LomU99 Heinrich has been better then McCaw in the Tri nations and was awesome in the lions tour, obviously you havent seen france play if you think spies is better then hardinordoquy, steyn has the highest kicking percentage at international level and there is no way them guys are better then Tommy Bowe, I havent even heard of some of them

[LomU99]

@dodger2k11 Tommy Bowe might beat up on the weak competition in the NH, but every time hes played a SH team hes just a dear in the headlights. Didnt even know he was playing till he scored a fluke try in the hammering by the ABs, and if you havent heard of the form wingers of the S14, how the hell can you know they arent as good?

All Harinordoquay has done is beat up weaklings in the 6N. Spies on the other hand helped destroy France a couple weeks ago, and powered the Bulls to a S14 title.

[dodger2k11]

@LomU99 NH isn't weak, the likes of munster and leinster could beat s14 teams and tommy bowe scoring 23 trys in 25 games is a great record

[LomU99]

@dodger2k11 what are you talking about, didn't you just watch the 6N champions get trampled by aregentina(nevermind the other results) . take out all the SH imports from munster and leinster and they wouldn't have a chance in the S14, even with them in, they wouldn't be more than bottom end of the table.

[dodger2k11]

@LomU99 sorry but i watched a match of the s14 and the defences are like u16 school level the score was something like 75- 40, they have some great individuals in the s14 but the team spirit of the NH clubs combined with great players would beat any of the s14 teams

[LomU99]

@dodger2k11 How do explain Ireland getting creamed 66-28, if the NH clubs are better. You're letting your national pride over come common sense. The 6N teams won 1 game against the 3N this tour. 1 game out of 9. NH is a joke.

[LomU99]

@dodger2k11 How do explain Ireland getting creamed 66-28, if the NH clubs are better. You're letting your national pride over come common sense. The 6N teams won 1 game against the 3N this tour. 1 game out of 9. The NH clubs are boosted by the SH imports, but NH rugby is still a joke.

[dodger2k11]

@LomU99 yeah 66-28 when we had a player sent off and o gara was sin binned when the all blacks scored half their points but we still scored 28 with 14 men, also half our pack was missing. just face it S14 would get beat by NH clubs

[Paddy659]

Put Richie mccall in flanker and Italy 8 and more Ireland players

[dodger2k11]

@Paddy659 Heinrich Brussow has been better then richie in the tri nations and was awesome in the lions tour, parisse isnt good enough tbh and theres nobody good enough from ireland to get in this year apart from tommy bowe (im irish btw)
