Right. Time has come. Watched every game. IMHO the form players of the Tournament in their respective positions.

1. Sheridan ENG
Part of an unforgettable England revival and proved once more that he's the best loosehead in the world. Immense player.

2. John Smit
South African lineout was flawless. Won the world cup. Every team needs a captain. He's the one who makes it into this team.

3. Hayman NZL
At least 2 All Blacks have to get on the board. Sorry if I get flamed for being one eyed. Hayman's never put a foot wrong. He has the reputation and he didn't let anyone down. Vickery gets an honorable mention.

4. Simon Shaw ENG
Player of the Tournament a mon avis. Was absolutely immense for England in every way. Hard bastard who never stopped trying.

5. Victor Matfield RSA
Destroyed the England lineout in the final. Touted by many as the player of the tournament. Obligatory selection really. Ali Williams gets an honorable mention for 2nd Row as does Sabastien Chabal.

6. Jerry Collins NZL
Corry didn't impress me as much as I hoped he would in the final. Burger might be unlucky. But tough. Jerry was one of our best this tournament.

7. Juan Smith RSA
Practically faultless for South Africa with the good all round robust game that suits their style of play. IMHO was lucky McCaw was knocked out, though. Honorable mentions go to Lewis Moody, Dusatoir and the Argentine 7 (someone give me his name!).

8. Longo Elia ARG
Loved watching this man play. Good way to retire. Really wanted to see Spies at this world cup but didn't happen. Makes A LOT of metrage up close. Honorable mention Nick Easter.

9. Mosese Rauluni FJI
This was the hardest selection. I almost picked Pichot on an emotional selection as he's, a mon avis, now one of the all time greats of the game and one of the best captains I've ever seen. Truly brilliant world cup. Then there's FdP, everyone's favourite son. Undeniably the best in the world, and everyone's raving about his world cup, but Rauluni's performances against Wales and South Africa were better than any of his, with his first England performance being his best. Still the best in the world, just not the best I've seen this World Cup. Big honorable mention to Gomarsall who's been brilliant for the poms and has given the best service of any half this cup.

10. Juan Martin Hernandez ARG
Funnily enough, played his best attacking rugby in the last 10 against France when he was moved to fullback. Still, Wilkinson's been instrumental in an England revival but I don't think he was as accurate with the boot as Hernandez or as tactically proficient. Hernandez had a bit of a howler against South Africa, but he's been untouchable in every other performance. I really want to see this guy play a full game at 15. Think this guy deserves to win that PotY award, despite Habana's efforts. Honorable mention goes to Butch James for an amazing final performance.

11. Brian Habana RSA
Will probably get PotY. Scored lots of tries and was scintillating against South Africa. Great defence v England too... But I'm still not sure about him. Maybe it's his work rate. Honorable mention Paul Sackey.

12. Felipe Contepomi ARG
Without a shadow of a doubt for me, the best 12 in World Rugby. Again, one of the Argentinian greats already. Fantastic player. I don't know what more I can say. Oh yeah, I loved all his niggle in the last two matches. Capped off a fantastic world cup with two beautiful tries. Honorable mention goes to Francois Steyn for his WC Final effort. Would be delighted if he won PotY, but I doubt it.

13. Jacques Fourie RSA
Again, few centres have had much impact in this world cup. I still think Conrad Smith should've occupied this spot, but I can't change Henry's mind... or history. Picking Fourie again for solidity.

14. Vilimone Delasau FJI
Most exciting player to watch in this tournament. Universally dangerous. If only we in New Zealand were the poachers the Brits are sure we are... Honorable mention to Dougie for being the best winger in NZ by a mile and half and still managing to not get selected. Hope he goes down in the history books as one of the best ever. Deserves to be up there with Lomu and Kirwan.

15. Percival Montgomery RSA
I honestly hate this selection. If England had won the World Cup Corleto would be here. But Percy was immense in the final. Game was won between he and Matfield. Robinson and Corleto get honorable mentions.

And that's that. Again, not everyone will agree. Here's the summary.

ARG: 3
ENG: 2
FJI: 2
NZL: 2
RSA: 6

I think this is a fairly good reflection. South Africa clearly dominated the finals stages... Fiji were a surprise package this tournament... England's success was more due to an immense amount of team spirit and composure than individual brilliance... Argentina were the heart of this tournament and achieved a level of brilliance that nobody will ever forget.
