You have to be kidding with Julian White. He got absolutely smashed by Woodcock in 3 straight tests. LOL at Betson and Charvis.

 

[Scott]

Michelak isn't a halfback, and can't even keep his spot in the France team

[Manu Vatuvei]

Robbed- Jerry Collins and Sitiveni Sivivatu.

 

[Iafeta]

Its funny, he hasn't been mentioned in any teams, but IMO one of the few shoe ins for any position in a World XV on current form is #1 Tony Woodcock.

There isn't a pack he hasn't given a pasting over the past 12 months. The Frenchies had to revert to Golden Oldies against the All Blacks front row not long ago.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The entire NZ front row would make a world XV right now. Os Du Rant is a great player but he's getting on and is only really a 50 minute player, plus he doesn't quite get around the park like he used to.

 

[aussies1st]

Fair enough replace Os with Tony Woodcock. Number 6 was a tough one as Beston has been good for so long while Collins really stepped up this year.
Sitiveni Sivivatu was injuried for a long period to get a gauge of how good he is at test level. I'm sure he will be awesome but not enough games yet.

 

[Jackal Dog]

FFS I knew you kiwi's would complain OMG DA NOT ENUFF ALL BLAKZ!!!11

Jerry Collins is a thug he puts a late hit on Turinui and sucker punches the springbok fly half yeah he is really worthy.

Sivivatu? The guy hasn't even played any quality teams yet! he played well against the Lions (poor) and Fiji (even poorer) he is just another one of these AB backs made to look good by a good forward pack! *cough Rico Gear cough*

Go have a cry with your worthless wobbilies....

You have got players in that team that were made to look less than ordinary up against their All Black counterpart.... I mean come on any of the fench players you have in there got hammered last year...

And the aussies would kill to have a player of Collins ability in their team... sucker punch my arse it was..

LAST YEAR being the key word, LAST YEAR the AB's finished last on the Tri-Nations table!

Ok smart ass tell me a better counter attacking fullabck then Laharrague? Muliaina? McDonald? laughable!

And Betsen the guy is a legend he has being going round for ages and is widely acknowledged as one of the best flankers in the world.

And the aussies would kill to have a player of Collins ability in their team... sucker punch my arse it was..

Go look at the replay dumbarse at first it was nothing more than a bunch of frontrowers sorting out their "differences" nothing wrong with that is there? Jaco van der Westhyuzen (who couldn't crush a grape btw) is standing on the fringes trying to break it all of a sudden Collins the thug rushes in and BANG this causes both entire teams to rush in and the huge brawl insues, if that isn't a sucker punch what is?

And I'm letting slide his antics on Burger, the guy needed about a dozen stichtes and hasn't played since.

So quick to gloat aren't we? geez when your own national coach tells his country to stop being so arrogant maybe you should actually listen...you blokes are worse then Murray Mexley!

 

[ThrashViking]

You're coming across as a jobber pal.
Burger > Collins, Habana/Rokocoko/Tuqiri/Caucaulardarse > Sivivatu

Poor widdle Burger, FFS, the guy holds the record for the most yellow/red cards by a Springbok in tests so he's certainly no angel himself. I don't think he's copped anything from Jerry that wasn't thoroughly deserved. In fact in saying that, to be a really good #6, you basically have to be a bit of thug, all the best flankers play right on the limit of the rules.
