Your Clubs Best Ever XV

First topic message reminder :

I did this last in July 2011  
 
I was just curious to see whether any of you guys would change your teams...so go on pop down your best sides.
Remember its more about players that played really well for you...not just good players who played for a few games for you.
 
Mine is still roughly the same...
 
1 Nick Popplewell
2 Ross Nesdale
3 Carl Hayman
4 Doddie Weir
5 Roger Uttley
6 Pat Lam
7 Andrew Mower
8 Dean Ryan (C)
 
9 Gary Armstrong
10 Johnny Wilkinson
11 Inga Tuigamala
12 John Leslie
13 Alan Tait
14 Tony Underwood
15 Matt Burke
 
Noteable Mentions
Toby Flood
Jaime Noon
Colin Charvis
Matty Tait
Gareth Archer
Tim Stimson
George Graham
Geoff Parling

Thats true re Heaslip and injuries. Over the last 5 years he is easily the most capped Irish player.

1.Rowntree
2.Cockerill - Wheeler was well before my time.
3.White - Garforth tempted me for the ABC combination but White's scrummaging was immense in his day. Honourable mention to Castro as well.
4.Johnson
5.Kay
6.Corry
7.Back
8.Richards

9.Healey
10.Goode - Many may question this choice but he did a great job marshaling a very successful side for 6 seasons. Also I need a kicker without Hare in the side and Goode did kick over 1000 points for us!

11.Alesanna Tuilagi
12.Gibson
13.Greenwood
14.Rory Underwood
15.Murphy - Never saw Hare play but grew up with Geordan's magic.

I agree on Goode. Under rated player IMO. Good all rounder and did very will with Leicester.

Edinburgh:
 
1. Brendan Laney
2. Brendan Laney
3. Brendan Laney

5. Brendan Laney
6. Brendan Laney

10. Phil Godman

12. Brendan Laney
13. Brendan Laney
14. Brendan Laney
15. Brendan 'the Chainsaw' Laney
 
That team would kick the face off Nganboy's shower of ponces.

 You are kind of spoilt for choice, GiG. No spot for Ollie Campbell? And would you have Nacewa over Kearney?

Kearneys not fit to lace Nacewas boots...girve the swerve was better too.

No way Hickie was better than Shaggy! No Rocky Elsom!

Id have SOB over Elsom any day! Elsom had one great year for Leinster in 09 but SOB was even better in 2011.
