Uh-oh, looks like I'm surrounded... but I won't go down without a fight! I'll say it again...
1) Super Rugby > Heinekin Cup
2) Currently...Giteau and Carter are head and shoulders above Wilko. Saying Wilkinson is the best flyhalf in the world is like saying O'Gara is the best flyhalf in Europe or that S.A. has the best pack in the world. You can't live in the past boys.
3) Ireland has the 3rd best scrum in Europe. Don't be offended, it's not like I'm saying they have the 3rd best team in Europe or anything(actually 4th), just the 3rd best scrum.
C'mon boys. I know the truth hurts but don't kill the messenger.
St. Jonny of Wilkinson has the incorruptible sanctity of holiness. His ability is immortal, amen.
Anyway, this NH team would beat the living **** out of any southern one...
1. David Attoub
2. Oliver Azam
3. Tony Buckley
4. Dave Attwood
5. Jamie Cudmore
6. Alan Quinlan
7. Neil Best
8. Andy Powell
9. Mike Philips
10. Julien Dupuy
11. Tom James
12. Gavin Henson
13. Mathieu Bastareud
14. Mark Cueto
15. Delon Armitage

Jesus, speak English man. Thats giving me head freeze
The only problem is Tony Buckley can't scrummage to save his life. great in the loose though

Ireland can easily beat new zealand but choose not to because winning has become boring
I genuinely think Dan Carter is pretty good like... but he never has reached Wilkinson's level. Players like him, O'Gara and Stephen Jones are good but they don't have that X factor

Because he did pick a team based on actual playing ability and not for the most part their reputation for ill discipline and foul play ?
