Pretty fair team there I reckon, though I do think half back could have gone to either Gregan or Farr-Jones also.

It'd be interesting to see how that team would change with a few aging warhorses from this cup doing well. If Australia win it gregan and larkham will be hard to go past. And whilst it would give australia a pretty high representation, t'would be justified in view of the number of rwc's won.

If Aus did win it then it would be hard to suggest that Gregan and Larkham weren't the most influential players in WC history.

I'd say the list is fair enough, but i just feel that contribution wise lynaghn in 1991 and larkham in 1999 did alot more than what wilkinson did in 2003. but skill and ability wise wilkinson is probably the best. as for the rest of the team pretty acurrate in my mind.

Has Victor Matfield really been that influential in world cups? As much as Johnson or Eales?
