My age would make me unqualified to even attempt this but surely Gareth Edwards for scrumhalf? Howley was a legend though

How would you describe Jackie Kyle, never got to see him play and his named attributes tend to be vague, usually you just hear fantastic, brilliant.

2 Keith Wood
3 Fran Cotton
4 Martin Johnson
5 John Eales
6 Micheal Jones
7 Richie McCaw
8 Willie John McBride
9 Gareth Edwards
10 Hugo Porto

15 Serge Blanco

are their best these guys would have come out on top

handsomecake

yeah.your players are not as fit . mine are 21st century professionals. modern training methods,blanket defence etc. the same way george best would have his legs broken if he tried to play in the current premiership. essien ,scholes, makelele would smash his head in

handsomecake

kelleher is a 16 stone scrum half. he would break blancos neck and shove it up his back side

handsomecake

gareth edwards would be stretchered off within 5 mins guarenteed also. ail divivsion 2 player equivalent in this day and age

2)Please also actually discuss the topic there - the idea is an all time 15, regardless of training techniques etc. Oh, and off with the eye patch

No, you won't, as you'll quickly find yourself unable to post on this forum. I won't be entertaining any more discussion concerning the warning or WUM'ing on this thread.
