TYS International Test Team of the Year Nominations - Loose Forwards

[Aussie D]

I organised the poll last year and will do it again (unless Gagger, Scarf or Moses have other plans). Criteria is must have played a minimum of 3 tests in the position nominated (e.g. You can't nominate Stephen Hoiles as number 8 as he hasn't played test rugby this year).

Keep it to Loose Forwards on this thread please. Nominations to close on Saturday December 5 at 10pm AEDT.

Wallace as a 7.5...

Barclay for Scotland deserves a mention for some great work in a poor team.

Hairydonkey and Parisse already mentioned.

Despite him getting the gong, McCaw has, by his standards, had a quiet enough year.

 

[Gagger]

Moody? OK, I'm reaching there....

Well done Aussie D :thumb

 

[BillyWebb]

Hairy Donkey
Brussow
Parisse
