@booboo @taniwharugby But, but - how good was he in 2015, and how much could we have done with him this year? I rewatched the 2015 RWC Final recently and his 1st half (in particular) was an exceptional 40mins of footie.
His last name isn't Barrett, he wouldn't have got a gig

This is the first Test of the decade v Ireland
Israel Dagg; Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Benson Stanley, Joe Rokocoko; Daniel Carter, Jimmy Cowan; Ben Franks, Keven Mealamu, Owen Franks, Brad Thorn, Anthony Boric, Jerome Kaino, Richie McCaw (capt), Kieran Read.
Reserves: Guildford, Cruden, Weepu, Tialata, de Malmanche, Whitelock, VitoJust a reminder in case anyone forgot to nominate Benson or de Malmanche
Red Beard no longer posts on here so won’t be an issue....

Stuffs version by Goile
Apart from Thorn in instead of Whitelock, as Thorn was only for a year and the decision for Beady at 15, Ben on RW - pretty much right. I can see Bender on RW as that has been not to the quality of Left wing, or Fullback. So happy with that set up

BBC Sport have been running a poll
They have two teams the readers and the Rugby Weekly experts (Ugo Monye, Danny Care and Chris Jones)
Some baffling picks
Without looking baffling picks of British players?
EDIT: Richie in 6 LOL

@dogmeat said in TSF Team of the Decade:
@Machpants Agree with the final decision but some interesting choices along the way namely Parisse over Retallick and Pocock over Jones
Yeah and Barrett over Nonu

Probably doesn't need further explanation.

@Machpants said in TSF Team of the Decade:
Farrell over Nonu, yeah right.
I'm staggered at how so many people seem to have under-rated Conrad Smith.
He's way up there with the likes of Tim Horan, Maso & co.

We'll collect names until Dec 31st and then run the polls in the new year
Polls will be sometime next week
Some players positions need top be confirmed:

Also lacking Aussies which may be accurate
Thanks

Polls for the AB's have been added. I will add the foreigners later
Note there is no poll for tighthead or number 8. That is because there was only one nomination for those positions.
I know some of the other votes will be very one sided (7 and 10) but at least there's good players up for the nomination (Cane, B Barrett)
The other options at 8 and 3 were not credible

i expect every vote bar maybe right wing to be incredibly one-sided.

@mariner4life i.e. 2015 RWC final starting 15 with Cory Jane looking to unseat Nehe
edit - forgot the cock didn't make it to the Final. Can't have an AB team without a Harbour rep. It's why we lost last year...
