Top 15 Must Have Player Faces For Each Country

[Sixesandsevens]

Alesana Tuilagi is definately Samoan!

 

[motu1]

richard kahui is still pretty young so is mcalister

 

[Muzzy]

I doubt he will. He publicly declared that he didnt want to be any part of the Fijian team. I can see the coaches not selecting him to make an example of him.

he played for Fiji two weeks ago against Australia, he would have played last week but he got injured. but he has said he wants to play in the RWC. he's not as good as he was though he's gotten very big so he's slower

 

[Muzzy]

i think every player from the major national teams should have their real faces.

Fiji: - Caucau, Delasau, Nalaga, Akapusi Qera, Seremaia Bai, Koyamaibole, Ratuvou, Naqelevuki, Talei, Nacewa, Kunavore

i'm sure a lot of these guys will have their faces since most of them play for the top teams Europe

Japan - James Arlidge, Tupuale, Ohata, Ryan Nicholas, Ono, Onozawa, Endo,

Samoa - Lolo Lui, M. Schwalger, F. Levi, H. Tuilagi, A. Tuilagi, Mapusua, Uale Mai,

MUST HAVE $ONNY BILL WILLIAMS with his signature offloads and big hits

[nickdnz]

Why is Sonny Bill Williams even included at all for the NZ 'must have'. He hasn't done anything of worth yet!

[nickdnz]

Sorry, but Sonny Bill Williams and Rene Ranger are no where near as popular or as important as Nonu and Conrad Smith. Have these people ever watched an AB game?

 

[eastside]

nah they will be the next two big ones in the future
but yeah i just like them better anyways
there only young so far an look at how good they are playing surely will take over nonu and smith in a year or so

Well, both Nonu and Smith are the best centre pairing in the world, and Smith is having his best ever time in the AB's. Ranger has played 20 minutes of ABs and SBW hasn't even played in the S14 yet. I think EA would be made to look stupid putting them in instead of Nonu or Smith. I tend to think you haven't seen SBW play Unions other than maybe the odd clip, so I don't know how you're guessing he's going to over take Nonu.

 

[eastside]

nah im not saying ea to make them take over because sonnys not in the team yet and it still too early too decide about these two wait a year or two for them to shine oh and this this is my must have face team , well ranger is just as domiant as nonu is , his games for the blues explains it ,not sayn hes better yet and still to decide on sonny too early
