i think i would prefer a probables v Possibles to the North v South, North just has the populations to make it a bit one sided

Two even sides with the best 46 could be interesting. Or you could have the probable forwards with the possible backs, and the possible forwards with the probable backs.

or you could split by age, or playing style, or something.

maybe you could do the old schoolyard thing where the captains take turns picking a player until all the players are picked, except you could have the coaches picking, with Plumtree and McLeod against Moore and Hewitt, foster overseeing both.

what do you think would be the most entertaining match including the top 46 players?

i actually like that but didn't suggest it because i though id be the only one

all thats announced before the game is the two captains and maybe the tight five's (safety concerns) but the rest gets picked on the field in front of everyone

yeah have 2 coaches, say razor and foster and they each have turns picking a player until we have a probables and possibles team. each coach has to pick there tight5 first in order from 1-5
AWESOME

who'd be the third coach? schmidt?

i mean same coaches, they just alternate who picks first and so you'd end up having to pick a different team

alternately you could have the local super rugby coach pick one team and foster pick the other, so when in chch its razor but when in dunners it Mauger/brown v foster

@Jabby
They should have done this to select the coaching groups
