This Heineken Cup thread has descended into a mere Super 15 thread.

This is not a Heineken Cup thread, it just says in the Heineken Cup era therefore the professional era,

ALL Super rugby teams are welcome

gosh, Blues wingers look hard to pick Howlett, Rokcocko, Caucau, Vidiri, Lomu

Lee Stensness was he good?

I asked to give my Sharks XV. He was not specific which Sharks team it should be so I picked the Natal Sharks ;) The Blues can also go both ways of course

8. McDermott
9. Crawford
10. Ward

yeah Psychic Duck, I liked Lee Stensness.
Others outside Auckland didn't really like him, but I always thought he was a great match with Carlos Spencer.
Mind you, so was Sam Tuitupou...

Yeah.. didn't even put Howlett in amongst the Blues wingers... goes to show what a bunch of underacheivers The Blues have been!

Are you taking the mickey? Victor Vito and Jimmy Gopperth should not be anywhere near this team. Neither should Tialata the most overrated player of all time. Also how do you put Gear on the wing and not even include Alama Iremia? Where's John Preston? Jason O'halloran? Stephen Bachop?

1. Bull Allen
2. Hewitt
3. Slater/Cavubati/Coffin
4. Cooksley
5. Eaton
6. Collins
7. Lesley
8. So'oialo
9. Weepu/Preston
10. Holwell/Bachop
11. Lomu/Telea/Randle
12. Iremia
13. Smith
14. Umaga
15. Cullen

Dion Waller should have a spot on the bench, Nonu instead of Gopperth.

Stensness made his provincial debut for Manawatu as a 18 or 19 year old which is a little known fact. He was a great player I always rated him, injuries slowed him down a fair bit but he was all class.
 
I had a pretty decent team but it had Danie Craven, Gerber and Carel du Plessis in it, so nvm :(

This would be my Blues team as well but for the wings and fullback I'd have Lomu, Caucau and Cashmore.
