Northern Hemisphere XV..

I face-palmed myself when I read the 'Staps' post.
 
i would put earles there only because of bastaraud..i think its would potentially be the best centre partnership in the world...bastaraud break the line offload to earls and he is away on a hack....

no he is not best centre in NH nor is Basta but i think they would make the best partnership..
 
Seeing as 6 Nations are ever looming on the horizon, I thought to resurrect this and see how people's opinions may have changed?
Here's my choice:

1. Gethin Jenkins (Wales)
2. William Servat (France)
3. Martin Castrogiovanni (Italy)
4. Courtney Lawes (England)
5. Paul O'Connell (Ireland)
6. Stephen Ferris (Ireland)/Tom Croft (England)
7. Thierry Dusautoir (France)
8. Imanol Harinordoquy (France)
9. Dimitri Yachvili (France)
10. Jonathan Sexton (Ireland)
11. Tommy Bowe (Ireland)
12. Yannick Jauzion (France)
13. Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland)
14. Takudzwa Ngwenya (USA)
15. Ben Foden (England)
 
I don't know how to multi-quote, but agree with the generous posts

Swap Ngwenya for Ashton, Yachvili for Youngs/Phillips
 
... It seems I'm a lot more generous than I thought <_<

My knowledge of Northern Hemisphere second rows is pretty non-existent and I thought putting Lawes, Young and Ashton might be my England favouritism showing through :p

Ngwenya is still pretty young but I don't think there's any NH winger that can match him for pace. And the moment he paced Shane Williams over 80m I almost died laughing.
