1. Really? Woodcock had a terrible season
2. Yes, Dan Cole is his name.
3. I think you mean Ben Youngs
4. Jamie Roberts hasn't been impressive since the Lions series, and wasn't in the autum squad.

I thought Woodcock had a good season actually. Every other LH Prop in contention have had good seasons also but for me Woodcock's class puts him ahead.
Ok. My bad. Ben Youngs it is. Thought he was awesome in the Autumn. Would have put Weepu in but can't all be NZer's! Dan Cole's a bit of a Beast...
Jamie Roberts is a class outfit and for some reason I thought the Lions tour was earlier this year! WTF?! Anyway rethink on that. Thought he was good against the ABs earlier this year BUT will have to swap him for Ma'a Nonu who has had an awesome year in the 12 shirt this whole season. Don't know what I was thinking?!

 

[lynam1104]

I think pitting Drico next to Nonu or Robets would have the same effect they are similar players.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ay?
O'Driscoll and Roberts on the Lions were one of the best centre partnerships i've ever seen

 

[lucky number 7]

Yeah Roberts and BOD were a match made in heaven , every play they could just cut through defence it was beautiful.

**SIGH**
I give in to SBW.... I would love to see what BOD could do outside him with those offloads, although O driscoll has lost some of his gas he hits the gaps like nobodys business and i think maybe for the Barbarians someday that this could be something rather special.

7 Richie McCaw (c)
8 Ryan Kankowski

Well then he's a bad centre surely? That doesn't really add to your arguement of him warrenting a place a world fifteen, wherever the position.

Well, he's a good centre, with average distributing. It doesn't make him a world class winger, certainly not above some of the other wingers in NZ and the World.

This is my squad,I don't really follow too much of the N.H teams so im not really sure about top players i could of put in hence my S.H loaded team. looking forward to some feedback

 

[dullonien]

Quite a few positions I don't understand there.

Tialata? Why exactly?
Castrogiovanni, still a great player, but not the player he once was.
Chabal?
Matt Giteau at 10 over Dan Carter, not in a million years.
Muliaina over Beale?
Tony Buckley on the bench? Very odd selection.

Tialata he's a beast
Castrogiovanni i just wanted to mix it up abit
Chabel no real reason i just like him
Giteau i like how he attacks the line plus i liked him and Nonu together
Muliaina is the best
Tony Buckley impact off the bench

 

[markshaw]

Muliaina over Beale?

What's wrong with that?

 

[markshaw]

Well, he's a good centre, with average distributing. It doesn't make him a world class winger, certainly not above some of the other wingers in NZ and the World.

I'm under the impression hes a wing as it says in his All Blacks profile and Blues profile (although in his blues profile he has centre stated as his second position)

Hes better then Joe...Only guys hes compeating with are Sivi (when fit) and Hosea..

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What's wrong with that?

If it's going on current form the Beale is better than Mils
