Not sure whether I should base it on how they played when they were apart of the team or how they became afterwards but here goes. I'll go with top form.

Hurricanes Greatest XV
1. Bull Allen
2. Norm Hewitt
3. Neemia Tialata
4. Paul ***o
5. Jason Eaton
6. Jerry Collins
7. Kupu Vanisi
8. Rodney So'oialo

9. Piri Weepu
10. Jimmy Gopperth
11. Jonah Lomu
12. Tana Umaga
13. Robbie Fruean
14. Doug Howlett
15. Christian Cullen

I think to make this team it should be the player who has achieved the most in their career. There is no way Fruean has achieved as much as Conrad Smith in his career. Not to mention he only ever played one game for the Hurricanes. I think you have to at least take some notice of how much influence a player had on their team.

that team doesn't look as good as I would of expected Biarritz to look
 
Probably because you don't know all of the players I've listed.

Francis Daguerre, Jean Condom, Patrice Lagisquet and Henri Haget are the players I haven't heard of

From when I've watched Biarritz, I would have Petru Balan, Olivier Roumat, Thomas Lievremont, Julien Peyrelongue/Fran Botica, Martin Gaitan/Joe Roff and Sireli Bobo in that team

was Sotele Puleoto good?
