1. Coenie Oosthuizen (Cheetahs)
2. Kevin Mealamu (Blues)
3. Wyatt Crockett (Crusaders)
4. Nathan Sharpe (Force)
5. Andries Bekker (Stormers)
6. Liam Messam (Chiefs)
7. Beau Robinson (Reds)
8. Kieran Read (Crusaders)
9. Will Genia (Reds)
10. Quade Cooper (Reds)
11. Digby Ioane (Reds)
12. Sonny Bill Williams (Crusaders)
13. Jarryd Payne (Blues)
14. Rene Ranger (Blues)
15. Kurtley Beale (Waratahs)
-----------------------------------
16. Bismarck du Plessis (Sharks)
17. Owen Franks (Crusaders)

19. Matt Todd (Crusaders)
20. Sarel Pretorius (Cheetahs)

Although highly contentious, I think that the following players could easily have made it if not for injury:

2. Tatafu Polota-Nau (Waratahs)
6. Adam Thomson (Highlanders)
7. David Pocock (Force)
11. Drew Mitchell (Waratahs)
14. Kade Poki (Highlanders)

21. Daniel Carter
22. Israel Dagg
