Here's how the draft will work:

Each participant will take it in turn to pick a player for team, and the draft will take place in a 'snake order'. In other words, whoever picks first in round one will pick last in round two, and whoever picks last in round one will pick first in round two.

Any player picked must have played International Rugby from 1970, this will stop any nostalgic picks that none of us actually saw play.

Each team must contain 15 players (obviously), but the number of players you pick must have played that number for their respective Nations. Having said that, in the voting rounds, a balanced side is more likely to win.

N.B You will have a 5 hour gap to pick and if not you loose your turn and must wait until your next go, the hours of 1am and 8am CET with be shutdown as it will be sleepy time for us all. When you take you go please PM the next person to let them know they are up!

WHEN YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR PLAYER DO NOT POST OTHER PLAYERS NAMES IN THE THREAD. AS SOMEONE ELSE MAY HAVE THAT PLAYER IN MIND, SO JUST DO NOT DO IT.

The only necessity for your team is that it has a Captain. Please post a picture of all your chosen players.

All discussion about the draft should take place in this thread, and I will create another thread which will be exclusively for participants to make their picks.

When the 12 players have been added to the Draft everyone will PM a number between 1-100 and i will get a MOD to pick a number and the closet to that number goes first.

For Rusty

First pick. 9. George Gregan

Second pick was harder, but I had to go for a number 10. I went with the guy whose points per game ratio is second only to Dan Carter, Grant Fox

Tim Horan

One of very few players to have won two Rugby World Cups in his career, Horan terrorised the world's defences throughout the 90s. A fantastic all-round player with very few weaknesses, he was good in both attack and defence.
