2019 Rugby World Cup

@Daffy-Jaffy Hooper over anyone is pretty laughable. Weird pick on Crotty too. I don't buy the Vunipola "hype". They seem to get lauded as they are a point of difference in the England team, but compared to their peers I don't see why they get rated so highly.
-
@Bones I rate Mako but always thought Billy was limited. I remember the hype around Billy vs the Al Blacks at twickers years ago, then Pat T. on debut smashed him when he ran from a ruck and he disappeared for the rest of the game. He has improved though since Eddie got some weight off him making him a bit more mobile. But Read would be in my team any day.

Some interesting picks. Would be interesting if he picked again post world cup. Hooper over Savea is laughable.
I think how good Ardie is currently will be a surprise this RWC to many non-NZ fans

Journalist's picks to keep the readership happy and show some impartiality.
Farrell should be at 12 for starters.

Good on him for sticking his neck out like that pre the RWC.
I obviously disagree with a number of his selections - but I guess that's the point. Something for debate and conversation. -
@Billy-Webb yeah pretty hard to argue against Stockdale being the premier left wing heading into the RWC...
-
@MiketheSnow of the Kiwis picked (well the ones that play for New Zealand), one is out of position, two have hardly played due to injury and the other is debatable as to whether he's the best in his position in NZ, let alone the world.

This fish has just had lunch Bones
-
@Billy-Webb Apparently he was asked for the team during a podcast interview without warning so it was an 'off the cuff' selection.
-
@Billy-Webb godammit. I don't think we even have any Irish lurking so can't even troll the fact only 1 player has been selected from the best team in the world...

He does this for a living FFS.
Should have had it in his pocket ready to go.

@MiketheSnow I guess we should be proffering up our own sides...

Bones? Are you really a kiwi bloke or is that actually my wife who has been quietly lurking on the Fern these last years?

But on to our best pre-RWC 15.
Shall we start the debate at fullback? -

Sure. This is an easy and non-controversial place to start:
- Willie le Roux
