Key Player for Your Country at the W.C.

For the Springboks, our centers will be most important. Jean de Villiers and Jaque Fourie are probably the most experienced center-partnership in the world and both are topclass.
 
Mike Ross is the number 1 player Ireland absolutely cannot do without. We should be wrapping him in bubble wrap.

Besides him then BOD, Heaslip, POC and O'Brien.
 
Alesena Tuilagi.. But he needs to get the ball first Soo the forwards will need to fire if he is going to get the opporutnities show the viewers in the Southern hemispher what he has been doing for years in the North.
 
For Scotland, whoever plays fly-half

Be it Rudriah Jackson, Dan Parks or even Duncan Weir.

Jackson- Might have a poor kicking performance, which would let Parks play.
Dan Parks- Can't find the words right now
Weir- Well if it gets to the stage where he needs to play, and considering we have two 'easy games' first, relative to our next opponents of course, then we truely are going to have a new orifice somewhere
 
The 2, 8, 9, 10, and 15, of each country?

That's pretty much what I was thinking and why I am worried LOL; at 2 Bismarck is a 4rth loose forward on top of being a solid rake but we'll probably have Smit... 8, Spies... our 9 fills the decision making role of most international 10's so I'm not worried about Morne Steyn who is a solid goal kicker and has good distribution, the worry is will FdP be 100% fit and firing... and another big worry is will Frans Steyn be in form at 15 after playing a ton of rugby in France at 12...

For SA, FdP is THE key man IMO; Steyn and our centers can do nooooothing without good ball and Du Preez organizes the forwards as much as the backs to ensure this.
 
the scrum half position is pretty important because if the service to 10 is poor the whole backline will be slowed down
 
I would say for South Africa, Fourie Du Preez will be Key.
 
Damien Traille. Because he will surely play, so we depend on how much he screws up.
 
I would say for South Africa, Fourie Du Preez will be Key.

He is THE key, yes. We really missed him in 2009 and I think most people have forgot that its not just his quick service and accuracy at the pass and kick that gives SA that little extra; it's his vision and ability to dictate a game from 9 that puts SA into another gear. He was also top of the table for try assists (S15) before getting injured again even at only half on form.

If he manages to make it all the way i think he just might drag the team to another RWC ***le.
 
Francois Trinh Duc, because he's probably NH best fly half.
 
Key Person for Wales is Gatland, whether he wishes up or not.
 
I agree with the guys who said Mike Ross for Ireland.He caused a big improvement in our scrum during the 6 nations.I also think whoever is selected at fullback.If it's Kearney or Murphy they won't be match fit.Felix Jones has no international experience.Keith Earls hasn't been tested under the high ball and the less said about Luke Fitzgerald the better :rolleyes:.The fullback will be the most important player for Ireland.

Have yoiu never heard of D'arcy and O'Driscoll pretty sure they are the most experienced combo in the world.
 
Kidney will be for Ireland, him and Mike Ross locking down the scrum.
