@williamr830 Not a chance only South Africa could beat us in Semi FInal or any final of the world cup, England lacks aggresion and off loading like most European teams
Good stuff up until the back row, i agreed with most of your selection but once i saw Jason White at blind side flanker (shocking!) and it got worse after that! How can say Jason White is better then Richard Hill? And the worst part of it you have'nt even got the greatest ever player the world has seen!.. Gareth Edwards! Do you really think Gavin Hastings who was normally a 10 is a better full back then JPR Williams? Also do you think Habana better then Campese?
Oz de Randt.Sean fitzpatrick.carl hayman.Martin Johnson(c). Victor matfeild. Michael jones. Richie macaw. Zinzan Brooke. George gregan. Dan Carter. Jonah lomu. Tana umaga. Stirling mortlock. Brian habana. Christian Cullen.............that's my top xv,tell me you can't agree with that
I agree to a point! But you have to think players of the early 90's did nt not have the training, diets and professional backing of guys today. The science involved today is amazing. The players of the 90's worked full time along with training and playing!
That's an awful team, I don't think anyone can say people such as Eales, Sean Fitspatrick and people who played a long time ago would make it in modern rugby, you have to look at all the aspects of the players abilities to say they're the best in their position in history, such as Jonah Lomu, yeah he's the most famous player ever, but if he played now people would know how to tackle him and stop him from gaining yards. I would like to see him play again though!

its funny all the crap people talk about them, but the only 2 players to be in all 7 of your teams, WHICH EVERYONE helped pick are O'Ddriscoll and Lomu. it speaks volumes about them without doubt 2 of the greatest players ever. once again well done on your final team its amazing.
not saying hes the best player of all time but as 10s go, neil jenkins was the first ever player too score 1000 international points. i dont think carter can go down as the best 10 yet. i hate england rugby out of passion for the sport but i still respect jonny wilkinson as being one of the best outside halfs too have played the game. special mention to phil bennet also, especially for being part of "that try".

I don't think mills gets enough credit, he's good under the high ball,he can run,he can pass,he can kick. best all round full back in the world today and maybe of all time. Chris Lathem was also great.
what a joke, this is obviously a brit that chose this team, in a true best world 15 team ever, there really only 1 nothern hemisphere player that may feature, thats johnson, even that is an uncertainty...
I feel sorry for Lomu and Habana. You're not gonna get the ball much when your centres hate each other......oh and lets not overlook Bleddyn Williams, Dr Jack Matthews, Mike Gibson, Barry John, JPR Williams, Michael Jones, Ian McLauchlan, John Dawes, David Duckham, Christian Cullen, Phillipe Sella, Serge Blanco, Willie John McBride, John Taylor, Gerald Davies, Colin Meads, Hugo Porta and Arwel Thomas..........alright the last one is a piss take

You even left out Neil Jenkins who was the top points scorer before Johnny Wilkinson and his boring 'English' way of playing rugby came along

15 gavin hasting you got to be joking, there blanco, cullen, and many more, by the way you must a one eye Scot. Where is Scotland on the ranking over the pass 20 years in the world, a hint.... not in the top five...
@zorro43zorro imm pretty sure scotland would have been in the top 5 in 1990/1. they won the grand slam and they got to the semi finals of the world cup, making them 4th as the world rankings had not been launched yet. And 1990/1 was when hastings was playing.
@saitensluvchild personally, i wouldn't call the man who became the first player ever to captain two lions tours, who managed to inspirationally win in south africa and also go on to captain england to a grand slam and world cup win a tragedy of a player.
@TDaViEzZ1994 Welshman Graham Price, Christen Cullen, Buck Shelford, Ian Kirkpatrick, Scotsman Andy Irvine, Aussies campo, Horan, Eales, Gregan, Larkam, Mortlock, Smith...I gottasay tho your centre pairing, wow that would've been lethal.
all these players are just about from the professional era haha, good team, to hard to choose my own, only dead set choice is john eales . . . and I'm a kiwi

Tim Horan 13 Phillipe Sella 14. David Campese 15. Serge Blanco Reserves. Jason Leonard Keith Wood Willie John Mcbride Mervyn Davies George Gregan Hugo Porta Gerald Davies Thoughts?..
@CharlieVandal80 This is a better team - I would be tempted to have Cullen at 15. Jason Leonard wouldn't make my bench and JPR Williams HAS to be in there somewhere surely.
@dweni22 well leonard has 114 test caps makin him the most experienced tight head off all time and second behind gregan as most caps in test history... who would you replace him with?... yes JPR williams and Cullen couldnt argue with ya there....
@CharlieVandal80 Top team. I'd also plump for Danie Gerber at centre. And I'd put Hugo Porta in starting and Dan Carter on the bench. If that was a Barbars team, OMG!!!
@johnpdedwards seems good. dont think bastereaud is quite experienced enough. Someone like umaga has the same strength and power but more experence aswell. I think willie john mcbride would definately beat bakkies botha though.
Good selection. Disagree with Hastings at fullback though. Was a great player for Scotland but is definitely not the best fullback the world has seen to date. That distinction clearly belongs to Christian Cullen.
@88wallabies Your dreaming mate. I love modern rugby like any rugby fan but these so called "ancient players" you mention would still kick ass in the modern era. Take Cullen as an example, still the best running back i have ever seen. The stuff that he could do is rarely seen now'adays. However, Genia is looking the goods and if he keeps playing the way he is at the moment, he could be one of the best ever.
Wazquaz....are you Scottish...because in all your greatest teams you pick Scotsmen....that frankly aren't very good..........in fact some of them would have never played a test match if they were New Zealanders...let alone be in the a list of great rugby players
@Aussiephil99 Yes I am. And not all of these videos have Scots in them. One of them does, and that is this one. The first one where I didn't know half the players I do now.
@kenonz you may be right. But when they play well as a team they don't choke and fail when they get to the world cup finals like other well known teams in recent history. Eg. All Blacks, All Blacks and New Zealand.

dan carter is the COMPLETE no10 but a close runner up is jonathan davies. he had to play in a very average wales team but was the best player in the world at that time and then switched codes to league,where he had the skills and nous to succeed like no other union player before or after....gareth edwards and serge blanco at 9 and 15 were genius matchwinners as opposed to good dependables.
HAHA...Johnathon davies *CLOSE 2nd*...BULLSHIT...not even top 5 @10...carter,grant fox,wilkinson,larkham,spencer...they easily beat davies 1-1 by 20-30 points!...stephen jones and mark ella better than that welshman..u say *he succeed like no other union player in league*...heres a few names off the top of my head who did better...Ricky Stuart, Matthew Ridge, Darryl Halligan...all legends with national and club records...all with NRL premierships..all davies has got is a *face like a dropped pie

I disagree with some of those. But most are there 1. Blanco 2. J.P.R. Williams 3. Cullen 4. Percy Montgomery 5. Don Clarke 6. Gavin Hastings 7. Gareth Thomas 8. Tom Kiernan 9. Chris Latham 10. Andy Irvine. Most of these players are widely accepted as the cream of the full back crop. Gavin Hastings was amazing. I will say that it is the easiest position to have a disagreement on.because they have to counter attack, high balls, kick, tackle in the open. good positional sense.
the modern game has kind of negated the position, more often than not wingers and three quaters fall back and fill the position, it's is good however to see irelands kearney, i'd have him as an old fashioned full back. he has everything and man is he solid under the high ball!!!
good team bro, I would have had Michael Jones 6, Christian Cullen 15 and John Kirwan (JK could do it all, Run, kick, tackle you name it he could do it) at 14.... but this is a scary team
who ever thinks that wilkinson is better than dan carter must have a carrot stuck in their brain. carter actually scores tries as apposed to just kicking goals

@saitensluvchild personally, i wouldn't call the man who became the first player ever to captain two lions tours, who managed to inspirationally win in south africa and also go on to captain england to a grand slam and world cup win a tragedy of a player.

@CharlieVandal80 This is a better team - I would be tempted to have Cullen at 15. Jason Leonard wouldn't make my bench and JPR Williams HAS to be in there somewhere surely.

@johnpdedwards John Kirwan isn't a Full Back.
I'd be more inclined to put either Jeff Wilson, Christain Cullen or Andrea Joubert at Full Back.
Zinzan Brooke is a player like no other and the best Number 8 to ever play the game.

Good selection. Disagree with Hastings at fullback though. Was a great player for Scotland but is definitely not the best fullback the world has seen to date. That distinction clearly belongs to Christian Cullen.

im not sure about these ancient players ppl
like fitzpatrick, Van Der Westhuizen, larkham, brooke, cullen, horan.
get with the next gen best five 8th is carter or cooper
best ever half back would be genia or du prez
centre fourie, ioane
modern day players are built better and are more technical.
88wallabies 1 year ago
@88wallabies Your dreaming mate. I love modern rugby like any rugby fan but these so called "ancient players" you mention would still kick ass in the modern era. Take Cullen as an example, still the best running back i have ever seen. The stuff that he could do is rarely seen now'adays. However, Genia is looking the goods and if he keeps playing the way he is at the moment, he could be one of the best ever.

dan carter is the COMPLETE no10 but a close runner up is jonathan davies. he had to play in a very average wales team but was the best player in the world at that time and then switched codes to league,where he had the skills and nous to succeed like no other union player before or after....gareth edwards and serge blanco at 9 and 15 were genius matchwinners as opposed to good dependables.

the modern game has kind of negated the position, more often than not wingers and three quaters fall back and fill the position, it's is good however to see irelands kearney, i'd have him as an old fashioned full back. he has everything and man is he solid under the high ball!!!
