Team of the Tournamant So Far

[monkeypigeon]

On one of the O2 inside line videos it showed to England players on the plane to NZ and Toby Flood and Ben Youngs were both on FM as well (and apparently were the entire journey)

FFS, I can't fit Youngs and Simpson into my dream team!!! No surprise at the lack of forwards playing FM though.

Adding my picks

1 Cian Healy - leading the charge for a resurging Ireland
2 Stephen Moore - his absence highlighted how much Aus needs him, brilliant in the games he has played
3 Martin Castrogiovani - can't wait to see him and healy against each other
4 Danie Rossouw - has more than filled the boots of both Matfield and Botha
5 Alun-Wyn Jones - has stood tall for Wales (couldn't help myself)
6 Jerome Kaino - has just been immense for NZ and has done the work of two IMO
7 Sam Warburton - forward of the tournament so far IMO
8 Mamuka Gorgodze - starring in an minnow team also the most archaic and bad ass name
9 Francois Hougaard - player of the tourney for me so far, pulled it out of the fire against Wales and hasn't looked back since
10 James Arlidge - Steyn has most points in the tournament and they're tied for most tries for a 10 but Japan..
11 Richard Kahui - looks just as classy at 11 as at his usual 13
12 Francois Steyn - equal most tries at center as set up even more, a tower in defense and can kick as well
13 DTH van der Merwe - never heard of him before the tourney but I'm a believer
14 Chris Ashton - has added workrate to his great finishing also most tries in the tournament so far
15 Kurtley Beale - no real stand-outs IMO while Beale has gone through a ton of work and was the only back that had Ireland worried at times

Just missed out
Taulmalolo, Jones, Perenise, O'Connell, O'Brien, Faletau, Steyn, Carter, Roberts, Nonu, Smith

Oh yeah, can't have a team without a badass name...

Seriously no one has mentioned Ross and only one mentioned Healy???? My team: Healy Hard to say probably Hore or Moore Ross Thorn POC Fez (Ferris) SOB Parisse Hougaard Carter Kahui Nonu M. Tuilagi or Davis North Dagg Keith Earls is a faggott

I'd Go for,

1. Cian Healy
2. Bismarck Du Plessis (when he's not on the bench)
3. Owen Franks
4. Danie Rossouw
5. Paul O'Connell
6. Jerome Kaino
7. Sam Warburton
8. Sean O'Brien (playing at 7 but you can't leave him out)
9. Taniela Moa
10. Dan Carter (when he played)
11. Ricahrd Kahui not a bad winger for being a centre.
12. Frans Steyn
13. Ma'a Nonu (dislike him but he's been great, he's a 12 but he's got to be in the team)
14. George North
15. Israel Dagg
