TSF's Best RWC All Blacks xv (from 2019)
-
i still think the 15 should be Osbourne
-
Yeah fullback was one of the more debatable ones
Gallagher 36%
Osbourne 33%
Dagg 18%
Mils 7%
B Smith 4%
MacDonald 2%2019 was B Barrett. I can't even remember how he went
-
-
Ben Smith was worth more than 4% of the vote. I'd rate him over Dagg, even if Dagg was more spectacular.
-
Based purely on RWC form?

I am surprised Aaron Smith is a distant third. He can have a huge 2023 and soar to the top!
Yeah this was done before the 2019 cup.
So it's Smith's 2015 tournament vs Bachop's 1991/1995 & Kirk's 1987
[edit - oops forgot Bachop was the halfback in 91 too]

In some positions it's almost impossible for a 2023 player to force their way in. Left wing for example
Fullback and halfback might be the easiest to get past? Smith & Barrett have a chance?
I reckon Ardie has a very good chance, but we'd have to win.

I wonder if Smith would already be ahead if we did it now based on his two tournament v Bachops two?
I have no problem with Kipper at fullback, he was on fire in 1987.
In an alternate world Cullen wins it for 1999 and 2003. Fuck you Hart.

Thumbs down.

At his best, I thought Ben Smith was a key player for us. But happy to go back and compare to Dagg's involvement.

Why's that? You don't like someone regularly coming up with game changing moments or don't like the ABs winning the world cup? Both?
I want both, I just don't think Ardie's going to surpass Brooke (or even Read and Buck).

Kirk? Really? Adequate but no superstar.
