forget the NZ commentary for a second
15: Chris Latham (Australia), 14 Gerald Davies (Wales), 13 Jeremy Guscott (England), 12 Frank Bunce (New Zealand), 11 David Campese (Australia), 10 Juan Martin Hernandez, 9 Gareth Edwards, 8 Sergio Parisse (Italy), 7 Sam Warburton (Wales), 6 Dan Lydiate (Wales), 5 Patricio Albacete (Argentina), 4 Simon Shaw (England), 3 Olo Brown (New Zealand), 2 Mario Ledesma (Argentina), 1 Garry Pagel (South Africa).
...an interesting list, no "professional" all blacks make his list? no one from the back to back world champs?
only two English (former world champs) two Aussies (former world champs) one south african (former world champs) and yet seven from Wales/Argentina
one comment i did like was Warburton was picked in spite of not having as long a career as some of his peers but Lomu was dropped specifically because he didn't have the longevity of this peers
he really is an interesting man.....
