TSF Teams of the Decade

Couple that stand out in the Internationals
Matt Giteau barely played test rugby last decade. He didn't play the World Cup in 2011, then fucked off to France. He came back in 2015, and isn't that pretty much it? And that makes him the 12 of the decade?
Also i struggle to think there wasn't a better body of work from a 6 than Burger in the 2010s, considering he battled with injuries. One of my favourite players, but his best work was the decade before.

Is it that easy to get banned here? Must remember to always support the popular choice and brute power over multi-skills and creativity. Wanted to have Beauden at fullback, Ben Smith on the wing, Conrad Smith at centre and ALB at second five, but was not allowed to do that. Messam is my hero for what he brought to teams, sevens, super rugby, maoris and AB's. Was still a split decision with Kaino for me though. More than happy with the teams the group came up with though.

Easy? You've just done the equivalent of multiple murders.
But don't worry you have company, the (presumably) Cantab who didn't vote for Nonu also deserves to be strung up as well.

That All Black team of the decade is remarkably uncontentious. A squillion caps and for a lot of them, a solid argument for best player in their position. Very lucky to have watched a team of that skill level play over that period.

Yeah, but Jamie Roberts appeared to be the next best option and he's a pretty limited player. Nonu was so far ahead of his peers in that period it's not even funny.

Geez...I don't think I've ever heard of Luke Jones!
