World XV 2008 - Inside Back Nominees

[Aussie D]

On Thursday Morning Oz plays the Baa Baas. Imagine for the moment that instead we were playing a world XV, who would be in the world XV. In this imaginative world cloning is possible (Oz players eligible for the world XV). Only rule is the player has to have played test rugby this year.

My Tight Five nominees:
9. Danny Care
10. Dan Carter
12. Jean DeVilliers

Please nominate anyone else who you think should be in the inside backs below. On Wednesday I will (hopefully, if I have time) start a poll to select the World XV.

9. Du Preez
10. Carter
12. De Villiers

 

[Cutter]

9. Mike Blair
10. Carter
12. Giteau

 

[PaarlBok]

9. Januarie
10 Carter
12 Jean

 

[Thomond78]

9. Januarie
10. Carter
12. Nonu

I might add, if we could be guaranteed repeats every time, it'd be the Peter Stringer from the Munster-AB game at 9. Best single performance I've seen all year from a scrummy.

So I am assuming Carter is a lock for the 10 jumper as no-one else has even been nominated.

12 Berrick Barnes
10 Juan Martin Hernandez
9 Mosese Rauluni

 

[Ash]

Yeah, Hernandez at least deserves a nomination - as Lee said, he'd surely be pushing Carter for best 10 in the world if he played for a national side that played a decent brand of rugby.

Nominations have now closed.
