Just had an idea.....once these teams have been completed, we should have another competition. We should take each player in every position and rank them 1 being best and 12 not the best. We then have to pick a team using only one No1 player, one No2 player and so on so you end with a team with 15 players all ranked from 1-12. Players could be used in everyone's teams and it would be really interesting to see where people used their Nos1-5 picks and their 8-12 picks...

Boks moving up the table now, Aussies only 6 players selected and France just the 5 out of 95 players so far.

Great shout on Richard Hill Billy. I was hoping for him but have 2 of my back row already so don't think I can even choose another with my next two picks, need to strengthen elesewhere first.

royhendo · « **Reply #446 on:** March 23, 2012, 11:02:24 AM »

Richard Hill's the first one where I've seen the pick and gone "aaah fuck off". He was one of the first names on my list - loved him as a player.

Ray K · « **Reply #447 on:** March 23, 2012, 11:16:00 AM »

Damn it, Richard Hill is gone.

Damn and blast it.
