This ties in with some of the posts in the tri-nations squad thread. I'm interested in squad depth for every position when the inevitable happens and players who'd be certainly selected are injured for the WC.
Ignoring current injuries and unfitness for players who'll possibly be back in time for the WC, how would you order players in each position? Some players can play multiple positions so can be in multiple lists.
Mine would be something like this (I'm probably wrong about some of the locks as I can't remember which side of the scrum they pack down in; same with wingers & which side of the field).
I doubt Deans would see it the same way. I've attempted not to be franchise biassed
. I've probably forgotten obvious players too.
