Favourite Player XV Empty Favourite Player XV

Post by SirBurger Thu 17 Oct 2013, 12:19 pm

I've just been thinking about the type of players I would like my club to sign for next season (wasn't sure if this should go in International or Club, but put it here). It led me on to think about my favourite XV of players - different from a World XV, but instead a team made up of players who you just love to watch play Rugby, regardless of their perceived weaknesses. I would be interested in seeing who else is a fan favourite. For the purposes of this (and to make it a bit more interesting) I have excluded all players from my club (London Irish):

1. Sona Taumalolo
2. Bismarck du Plessis
3. Martin Castrogiovanni
4. Mamuka Gorgodze
5. Damien Welch
6. Willem Alberts
7. Steffon Armitage
8. Sergio Parisse

9. Morgan Parra
10. Bernard Foley
11. Napoloni Nalaga
12. Wesley Fofana
13. Rene Ranger
14. Charles Piutau
15. Jesse Mogg

Subs: Augustin Creevy, Steve Kitshoff, Ben Tameifuna, Lappies Labuschagne, Sione Kalamafoni, Ruan Pienaar, Willie le Roux, Alpati Leuia

I realise this is probably quite subjective, so doesn't make for the best discussion, but I was bored!Whistle

Fairly out there wide ranging group of players I have to admit, almost like its based on watching every club match in the world and no internationals.

I tend to prefer club rugby to international rugby so that is probably the reason for the bias in my picks!

Os du Randt
Bismarck du Plessis
Adrian Garvey
Eben Etzebeth
Kobus wise
Rassie Erasmus
Juan Smith
Joe van Niekerk
Garth Wright
Gerald bosch
Hennie le Roux
Jacques Fourie
Pieter Hendricks
Stefan Terblanche
Tinus Delport.

Not our best players, but some of my favourite SA players.

Kobus Weise - certainly would be on my all-time list, if anything for the military haircut he used to employ so that he would be more streamlined ... to go with his 20st frame (thats then not now!!!!).

Laugh 

Streamlined?

I don't think he was ever streamlined, not even as a baby.

I think that haircut took him from 17.567 seconds over 100 meters to 17.554 seconds over the hundred meters, but only because he put more effort in. Whistle

I know there are a load of Turks and Taffs in there, but I think that would be a team that could run the ball from anywhere, whilst not being too underpowered in the pack.

Favourite memory of him came during his time in league... especially the early days when Wigan were conquering all and those outside of the M62 would discover RL on Challenge Cup day.... anyhow the way the little guy used to hump the ground when pinned was always hilarious... no wonder he got the nickname billy whizz.

Unless you're a particular scrum and lineout nerd, this thread will probably produce packs who are fast and big ball carriers. As such:

1. Vunipola
2. Youngs
3. J Johnston
4. Gray/Etzebeth
5. AWJ
6. Wood
7. Warburton (Robshaw if he didn't play for my club)
8. Reed

9. Genia
10. Carter
11. Habana
12. Fofana
13. Tuilagi
14. North
15. Dagg

That backline I think would be immense - all pace and power.

Among the favourite ever:

1) Fran Cotton 2) Hika Reid 3) Robert Paparemborde 4) Gordon Brown 5) Moss Keane 6) Jean-Pierre Rives 7) Roger Spurrell 8) Willie Duggan 9) Gareth Edwards 10) Tony Ward 11) Bernie Fraser 12) Danie Gerber 13) Chris Wardlow 14) David Duckham 15) Serge Blanco.

A lot of good drinkers, a few good smokers too, the odd nutter, but loved watching them all play. Missed out so many; O'Driscoll (until the day he packs it in) and North aside, can't say that there are too many out there that thrill me at the moment. Loads that I admire, but that isn't quite the same thing.

12. Gibbs - Changed the game re centre play
11. Lomu - Chaged the game re everything
10. Contepomi - Ledgend.
9. Van der Weisthuisen - Possibly the most exciting player of all time.
8. Dallaglio - Hated when he played v Ireland. Immense talent.
7. Philip Matthews - Irish legend and my first ever favorite player.
6. Stephen Ferris - One of the best Irish backrow players of all time.
5. POC - 2nd best lock to ever put on the green jersey.
4. John Eales (Captain) - One of the greatest captains ever. Probably the greatest.
3. Smit - Great captain and great character for the game.
2. Wood - Raging potato

NOt sure, will have to think on it.

But wouldn't it be cool to have Jamie Cudmore and Danny Grewcock as the locks?

I could probably name three in each position across 4-5 decades, so I'll sleep on it for now and let you know. Some cracking picks so far though.Ok!
