Very close calls between a lot of players and i think the likes of current welsh players such as North, halfpenny, biggar, faletau, warburton, tipuric and lydiate could all make this side if it were in 5 years time but with them only being probably less than half way into their international careers they have'nt quite ousted the players before them, although their extremely close.

God help us if Craig Quinnell was our best No6 of the pro era or any blydi era.

Seeing as he has his subs in the opposite order and North at centre, I'm not sure if he really knows what number is which.

I always liked Quinell as a blind side, that is where he started out at Llanelli, and got hs early caps for Wales. Though I picked players I liked, not particularly the ones I thought were best over all.
I can't think of too many stand out blind side flankers though, if I'm honest.
