NZ Union League team

[Blaze]

Ok I am not really a big fan of union these days, but procrastinating and decided to put a NZ league team together made up of union players.

Thoughts? Changes? I couldn't really think of a utility back to put on the bench. Went with Leonard, as he would be handy coming out of dummy half.

How the hell would Mealamu, a 106kg union hooker who has never had to pass off the ground in his life, be a league hooker?

*gets really stressed out*

yea, hes too smart for a winger or center

Mealamu would make a great League Hooker provided he actually played the way hookers used to instead of being a second halfback. I'd have him at lock in a Union League side though.

Nick Williams? :crazy:

 

[Iafeta]

1 Miliaina
2 Sivivatu
3 Toeava
4 McAlister
5 Rockocoko
6 Weepu
7 Carter
8 Collins
9 Kelleher
10 Nick Williams (good choice)
11 S Lauaki
12 Nonu
13 Messam

They'd get lapped by 100 in the NRL though.

At first, yes, but after they got used to the different rules that
d be a pretty damn competitive team. Most of the players would definitely be able to make the transition if they joined an NRL team.
