Leguizamon ? He is not even in the Jaguares starting XV ! Matera could be a better option on the bench.

23 E DalyThomas ? Are you serious ? This guy does not know how to defend and runs sometimes like a headless chicken (please watch the ERC 2018 cup final against Leinster). I reckon he has serious wheels but there are far better right wings on the international scene.

I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.
I want a goalkicker somewhere in the team, and Beauden isn't it.
When did we start using bogan ball terms, first receiver. 1st 5 or stand off please.

Post your guys actual 15s to see what you do instead of just picking the odd players you’d take out

Someone already knocked that easy ball out of the park hours ago. Swinging at empty air is not a good look on here. You need to be on your toes.

Mate 'swinging at empty air' is what the Fern is about. We excel at it.

What's the point if the ball is too slow coming to him?
Oops, not Murray, Sexton. Beauden at fullback, but with the option to come forward on attack.
Genia or Smith at halfback.
Every team needs a kicker.

Good to see everyone is coming round to my way of thinking....

Universal selection of Moody.
Am I missing something?
Best in NZ but best in the world?
Come December we'll have a clearer idea I guess.

I have to admit that I was surprised that everyone was rating him that high, although I'm unsure of the alternative standouts.
It comes down to style again though. Does best loosehead mean best scrummager? For some teams that's the criteria. For the ABs he needs to be able to run, draw and pass, make attack decisions etc -
Who else ?
Healy and McGrath share the position for Ireland. Both are solid but not world beaters.
Vunipola ? Very good in the loose but rather meh at scrum time and penalty magnet.
Mtawarira ? Goes missing after his first (very good) 30 minutes.
Evans ?
Very good in the loose but weak at scrum time.
Poirot ? Good at everything but nothing flashy.
Sio ? More than a journeyman but not much more.
Kitshoff ? Is rated behind Mtawarira by the SA selectors.
