and again i would like to thank everyone for taking part in the vote and have a Merry Christmas!
 
No Mr. Berry renders this invalid.

In reality, though, it's a quality side. I'd switch Creevy and BdP around, and Franks and Wilson, but other than that I think it's the XV that I voted for.


TRF is officially smarter than your average rugby journalist.
 
BdP was overwhelmingly the winner, Creevy just about edged out Strauss.
Folau just edged Smith, and Kuridrani just a little ahead of other Smith.
Retallick was selected by close to 90%, will post more info late.

Your very welcome!
:mellow:



Also thank you for this Scotty ! Only change would be Ben Smith starting over North but still would steamroller everyone ;)

That's a lovely graphic.

Similar enough to the team I voted for.

Smith was already a fullback option, so it was one or the other.

Nicely done Scotty, looks good.
 
Really pleased the way the pick two method went. Little different from first past the post, and made it a little mire competitive. People didn't just feel as if they had to vote for their favourite player.
 
What a team, would love to see all those guys in action together.

Captain: would probably be McCaw.
Vice Captain: would probably be Bismarck/Read or O'Connell.
Kicker: would probably be Sexton.
 
Can't really argue with any of that. Shows the gulf in individual player quality between the NH and SH.
 
awesome thanks for all your work. An awesome forward pack of self motivated thinking hard as nails footballers with leaders and lieutenants everywhere. the backline on the other hand would have to be susceptible to pressure, all confidence players outside of A. Smith with the ability to go missing or have off games when the pressure comes on. No real organiser in midfield, if they got 15 points behind I think Schmidt would be bringing on Smith to FB and Cruden to run the show. it would look better balanced with C. Smith or Jean De Villiers in the mid field. thanks again scotty

Should give credit to @TRF_Draggs too for helping me on the way especially getting the poll up and the final results

Awesome pack :) there is perhaps about two or three who I might tinker with, but this is pretty dead on the money. It's a shame we can't accommodate Vermeulen and Read in the same 15, but at least Read is on the bench. Perhaps a couple of Englishmen were unlucky to miss out on the forward pack. I'm sure the team would string a few wins together to say the least!!
 
ah that looks good. Well done Scotty !! Gives us something nice to look at, and you spent valuable time working on this for your community. +1 (need to spread love around before I get to you, but it'll come).

Almost every single position can be argued, and sure enough some are self-centered enough to only think of the one guy from their nation that's missing, but if there's one comment I should make it's: no Hoopah ?? Bummah...that's just not possible, he's practically the best player in the Solar system. Others are very very nice players, but he's just inevitable. I do understand the same should be said about Ben Smith, how does he not insure one spot in 15 guys, but his problem is positional and he's on the bench.

Thank you for the support, its really no bother.
 
hahah...hadn't noticed the first time but rancher is right. We're three little NH'ers in that starting lineup :p and we're debatable too !! :D

But those guys in the starting XV are ungrateful *****es, though. None besides Folau and Bismarck are showing any enthusiasm, with Sexton conceding maybe a hint. Like they belong there, taking it for granted, freakin' spoiled brats...
