Where's the Samoans i ask...............

I've picked Michael Jones.

I agree with Ray - Horan was a great pick from Sarge. Cullen was another, seems almost underrated because NZ had so many great backs around that time and maybe he didn't have the longevity of others but he was such a good runner.

Chakan - as others ahve said, the Boks time will come, no doubt about it!

God that was tough - so many crucial positions, I was stuck between around 4 spots that I *needed* to make right away.

And then in a moment of weakness you splashed out on a Hooker instead.

Haha nice one Roy. Now fook off he is mine.

Some big name players in that last trio and Chakan will be happy.

You've posted a picture of Scott Quinnell but you've written his old man's name.

Chakan · « **Reply #291 on:** March 22, 2012, 10:17:38 AM »

Yay and very good choices as well!

I once saw Pienaar at a shopping mall, one of the biggest humans beings I have ever seen! Towered over everyone and people literally had to move out of his way.

Shame how we treated him after 95 though. Didn't deserve that.

Was just about to post the same! And there's that many Jonathan Davies's in Wales how on earth do we know if you have the right one there as well?!

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6. 7.

8.

9. Joost Van Der Westhuizen 10. Neil Jenkins

11. 12. Tim Horan 13. 14.

Roy i find your lack of patience and use of capital letters unsettling.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #299 on:** March 22, 2012, 11:03:36 AM »

I'm liking mine so far. Back row is going to be immense.

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6. 7. Michael Jones

8. Sergio Parisse

9. 10. Andrew Mehrtens

11. 12. 13. 14.

15. Jason Robinson (although he might end up on the wing)

Sarge · « **Reply #300 on:** March 22, 2012, 11:17:12 AM »

I'd say after round 7/8 its going to be a dogfight.

royhendo · « **Reply #301 on:** March 22, 2012, 11:20:57 AM »

Made up with mine so far.

1. Jonny Wilkinson 2. 3.

6. 4. David Campese 5. 7.

8.

9. Wayne Shelford 10.

11. 12. 13. 14.

15. John Eales

Shelford at scrum half? He's no Bergamasco...Otherwise looks good that Roy. Eales at Full Back can slot all the penalties and conversions as well.

Interesting to see how Campo gets on at lock. Will make a change for him to have his head up someone else's arse and not his own.

I think FB will be one of the tougher positions to fill. Blanco, Cullen, JPR, Irvine and the likes already taken.

Loads of good full backs and utility backs I reckon - more than there are people doing the draft anyway!

Anywhichwayucan · « **Reply #306 on:** March 22, 2012, 12:06:16 PM »

There's one player in particular, well actually two, I am eager to see if they will be selected.

Ray K · « **Reply #307 on:** March 22, 2012, 12:14:12 PM »

1. 2. John Smit 3.

4. Willlie John McBride 5.
6. 8. 7.

9.
10. Phil Bennett

11. Shane Williams 12. 13. 14.

15.

Leaders in every line, that's what I'm building.
Just need Phil DeGlanville in midfield and I'm sorted.

I am still haunted by visions of my Granny banging on the window and clenching her fists as we played outside when Scotland hammered England in the early 80's with the likes of Rutherford and Laidlaw prominent. So maybe I'll pick one of them in her memory.

Or maybe I won't, no-one likes a bad winner!

Blanco would have been mine, loved him as a kid he was just unreal to watch. I used to love watching Kieth Crossan too. But enough of that naming players lark.

Sarge your backline was on the verge of being unstoppable with Horan and Jp Williams.
