[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 569816, member: 20892"] After seeing the last few names it's actually not as strong as I thought it would be. I definitely wouldn't call it stronger than the team that knocked over the All Blacks a few years ago. Lots of the players aren't top performers at international level, especially in the backs. Evans, Fotuali'i, Yachvilli and Payne are probably close, but the others are either only decent or past their use by date. Compare that to the likes of du Preez, Giteau, Habana, Roberts, Fourie, Rokocoko and Mitchell of 2009, who were all at the top (or close to the top) of their games. [/QUOTE]
