World 22- but with full representation

I know (especially from the old 606, where I lurked) that World XVs have been done a hundred times before. But times change, and I'm not sure I've seen one done quite like this. In the 6N fantasy league selection you can only pick 4 players maximum from each country. Now it occurs to me that with 10 countries playing highly competitive rugby amongst each other and Tonga in the top 10 in the IRB rankings, it seems highly unrepresentative to have a World 22 made up of players from a couple of countries even if they are the best players in the world.

What I am suggesting here is a World 22 with each of the 6 nations and quad nations countries represented at least once, as well as the Pacific Islanders (I suggest each of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa individually, but that's up to you), and no country presented by more than 3 players. If you can get a full 15/22 without using more than one player per country, all the better.

If this has been done in this way before, Mods, please close this down.

Giteau covering 10

Matfield has retired mate. Andries Bekker will do in his place, Jaque Fourie is much better than Giteau. Giteau doesn't even make the australian squad anymore. If you want to put an Ozzie in there then go for Adam Ashley cooper.

Best way to do this is start at team ranked #22 and put in their best player, and work your way down. By the time you get to NZ they're good enough to stick in anyone anyway.

Ok without using any players from the 6 Nations or the 4 Nations I'm stumped to fill a scrum half and utility back.
