Of course not, I thought you may have glanced at the thread title though.

~~T. Wright~~ Mils

Need to finalise a team. This one by @African-Monkey is close, just made a couple of changes

Dowd because McDowell is with BOP?
Mils over Wright? (Specialist plus a more recent player probably helps in voting)

Any objections?

mariner4life

@Duluth Mils is in every way a better play than Terry Wright (who is still a frikken hero)

that team is a fucking cheat code

Bovidae

Let's hope the random draw gives some interesting 1st round matchups.

Cantabs v Auckland in the first round is a disaster for the broadcasters, but provides hope for all others.

Especially if the winner subsequently draws Otago

Bovidae

And Counties with a 1st round bye...

you drew Southland?

@Duluth nothing to really fear in the backline but the forwards are a bit tasty.

I would have Carlos over Fox personally. I think Foxy would too if he was being honest

@dogmeat

I went for Spencer earlier. Thought the consensus was against him

Fuck it. Spencer it is

I wouldn't, and I'm a huge Carlos fan, but as I think I said earlier Fox is a winning 10. To me this team is picked on how they were in the era they played. Carlos was one of two top 10s, Fox dominated the position for most of his career.
