That would be 40% correct. 60% incorrect. So an "F" in US terms. Really quite bad.
I'm not coming to you to get my teeth done (kidding).He got 9/15 didn't he?

I was surprised that there was only four differences between our team and the public voting:
Fitzpatrick, Olo Brown, Bachop, Gallagher in the TSF team
Who were the 4 public picks? A bit of recency bias I'd expect? The public are not as discerning and mindful of history as the esteemed minds that inhabit the Fern

Well, to be fair, we've won two world cups in the last 8 years, so the recency bias is entirely explicable. What I don't understand, is the world cup winners who lost out to world cup losers... For example, Olo Brown was a great AB, but Owen Franks has won two world cups. It's not even a contest as far as I'm concerned.
It's clear to me that too many people have voted based on performances outside of world cups. In most cases, the top world cup performers have been selected, but some of the next in line selections are baffling (Mehrts getting more votes than Grant Fox, FFS!).

@Duluth Weird that the public poll didn't put Sean Fitzpatrick as the best RWC Hooker. Best player in that position for nearly ten years at international level.
It doesn’t matter about his 10 years, it was his RWC performances that should’ve got him the vote. Got mine for his 87 and 95 Cup showings.

To rate players in the ‘87 tournament, you’d pretty much have to have been born by 1970 to have seen that RWC and grade the players with any degree of knowledge, which means you’d have to be nearly 50 years old now.
Curious... what is the breakdown of Fern subscribers above/below 40? There’re a few oldfucks here (raises hand slowly), yet my guess is anybody with a sharp recollection of 1987 would be a distinct minority.
Plus so good in 2011 that he kept Williams out of the starting side.
