MarkandAngharad's Favourite XV Print E-mail
Written by MarkandAnghara   
Thursday, 26 July 2007

15.  Christian Cullen
Two absolute howlers at Aussie Stadium (for the Hurricanes) aside, the best Full Back to play the game.  Also Rans - JPR Williams.

14.  Jeff Wilson
Was never the same when he played full back, but deserves a spot just for outstripping Roff and pulling that great shocked face against Wallabies.  Also Rans - Jason Robinson, Gerald Davies

13.  Phillipe Sella
One of the most creative centres of any generation.  A solid player that played the game with a smile on his face.  Also rans - Frank Bunce, Tana Umaga, BOD

12.  Tim Horan
Just so dependable.  An immense presence in the Wallaby sides of the 90s. Also Rans - Joe Stanley (a true gentleman), Mike Gibson

11.  Jonah Lomu
Just wonderful to watch English arses flapping at his mere presence.  Also Rans - David Campese, James Small

10.  Daniel Carter
Already as good as anything I've seen at 10.  His performance in 2nd Lions Test was the quintessential first-five performance.  Also Rans - Jonny Wilkinson, Phil Bennett, Grant Fox

9.  Gareth Edwards
A true legend at half back.  Gave Going a 'going-over' in 73.  The heartbeat of Wales and the Lions throughout the late 60s and 70s.  Also Rans - Joost Van der Westhuizen, Sidesteppin' Gregan

1.  Kees Meeuws
His presence in the Haka alone would have intimidated most, plus he got his fair share of tries.  Also Rans - Christian Califano, Os Du Randt

2.  Keith Wood
A phenomenal talisman for Ireland and the Lions.  Accurate thrower and great in the loose.  Also Rans - Sean Fitzpatrick, John Pullen

3.  Carl Hayman
There aren't many props that would attract such interest in the transfer market!  More effective when bearded, plus he looks like General Zod's right hand man.  Also Rans - Olo Brown, Jason Leonard

4.  Martin Johnson
A colossus.  The spine of the England side for so long, plus captained the Lions twice.  Also Rans - Willie John McBride, Chris Jack

5.  John Eales
How can such a 'nice bloke' have played in such a tough position?  Will never forgive him for kicking that penalty that nicked the Bledisloe though.  Also Rans - Gary Whetton, Robin Brooke

6.  Jerry Collins
One hit on Colin Charvis cemented his place in the AB's Hall of Fame (and promoted Tana's life-saving skills).  Massive in attack and defence.  Also Rans - Francois Pienaar, Schalk Burger

8.  Buck Shelford (my captain)
Any player that can play with a bollock hanging out of its sac deserves a place in history, plus he made the Haka what it's become.  Also Rans - Zinzan Brooke, Willie Ofahengaue

7.  Josh Kronfeld
Always gave 110%, as demonstrated by the way he was always completely knackered leaving the field.  Also Rans - Richie McCaw, Michael Jones (The AB's got openside wrapped!)
