The front row
3. Adam Jones
This was a tough one, as there aren’t too many tighthead props that stand out for their entertaining style. I went with Jones for four reasons: he’s a quality player who will hold the scrum up with ease, his hairstyle will combine well with Chabal, I haven’t picked a Welshman yet and he has a stellar kicking game…
2. Keith Wood
As the commentator says in the clip below- ‘he may look like Uncle Fester, but he can play rugby’. Truer words were never spoken. One of the great characters of world rugby, he will be all over the park for my Barbarians team. I expect him to score at least two tries, and he may well slot a conversion or two once the score hits 50.

The clock is ticking down, the Barbarians are behind by two points. Who else would you want in your side?
So there it is, my all-time Baa-baas forward pack. For the record the full XV contained 3 Wallabies, 2 each from Ireland and New Zealand, and one each from Fiji, USA, Samoa, Italy, Georgia, France, South Africa and Wales. 11 different nations, 15 sensational players. What a side!
