    Managers will be excellent at ensuring everybody is where they should be with a plethora of refreshing drinks for the aftermatch function.

    In @Snowy's cellar?

    @MajorRage I'm rapt to make the loosies. You must have watched my early 20s form... numbers got a bit smaller through my 30s and 40s ...

    @MajorRage 6 though eh? Too slow for 7 ...

    Is that you, Shannon?

    S’funny but Rory rarely gets mentioned in the discussion about England’s greatest wingers, recency bias I guess, but he was a gun winger for sure.

    Really, I'd have thought he'd be the first wing on the team sheet? Or Alexander Oblensky. 😉

    Can’t possibly pick him. Blatant poach.

    And think how strong Hong Kong, Malaysia & Kenya Rugby would be if England stopped pillaging their best players

    Kenya? Are you mixing them up with Nigeria? Racist.

    Anyway we don't let Kenyan rugby players into this country, apparently because they're gay.

    this is interesting, are we basing on "status" i.e club legend or skill level

    I would say nasi manu could have a good shot at the 8 jersey on his contribution to the team...but honestly think MMT might have a higher ceiling, the level his playing at at only 24, also, can we claim Nonu? he may have played shit for us but ...he's nonu

    Also, i would argue ash dixon was a better hooker than coltman...but coltman is is obviously a club man

    @Kiwiwomble there's no way Stanley misses out to either midfielder.

    He's just a troll. Dont' feed the troll. He knows he'll get clicks and discussion - it's exactly what he's after.

    There’s trolling and then there’s becoming a laughing stock

    He’s at the latter for me and a very big reason I no longer take The Times

    ….and Will Skelton, Rob Kearney and Juan Martin Hernandez making John Eales, Bakkies Botha, Victor Matfield, Brodie Retallick, Christian Cullen, Dan Carter and Stephen Larkham look like complete amateurs in comparison.

    i saw that, it's honestly some of his best work

    people will not be able to help themselves. And the best part is, he's included people from lots of nations, but not the right ones. It's a delicious wind-up

    The best bit is the Irish getting upset as if they actually believe they should have more players in the team.

    @mariner4life I'm not so sure it is a complete wind up, maybe he is looking to renegotiate his contract and is looking to up the traffic.

    I honestly think he sees the game and players through a different tint, that obscures what normal people see

    The best kind of troll when you aren't sure they are trolling or they have simply lost the plot. It would be quicker and easier of that 'dream team' to mention who'd you keep...

    @mariner4life Ardie at 6 is absolutely brilliant trolling, credit where it's due, there's about 4 different groups of fans that would be triggered by that.
