No worries, I realised after I posted the thread that I had put numbers in the loose forward section whereas I should have left it as open / blindside flanker. When the voting threads go up players will be sorted accordingly.

6. Richie (I shudder at the thought of a team with McCaw and Pocock)
7. David Pocock
8. Kieran Read

 

[Proud Pig]

6. Jerome Kaino
7. David Pocock
8. Kieran Read

Richie or Pocock is the only position with any real debate in my mind.
Kaino has been an absolute stand out and no-one is within a bulls roar of Read at 8.

Has anyone mentioned Harinordaquay yet?

He was nominated for a player of the year award after all.
