My own Dream Team

 

1. Tony Woodcock - A great prop who i'm a big fan of, he has been around the circuit for a while and staying in the All Blacks team for that amount of time takes something.

2. Bismarck du Plessis - This guy is hard as nails and a great thrower at the line plus great in the loose. The best hooker around I personally think.

3. Carl Hayman - He may not be with the New Zealand squad anymore but Carl is a fantastic player who's fitness levels for a prop is fantastic as proven many times!

4. Bakkies Botha - The partnership of Bakkies and Victor is incredible as they have been together for many years. Bakkies is a tough man to play against, and he has proved this many times hence why he is highly thought of.

5. Victor Matfield - Victor and Bakkies both compliment each other hence why they are a perfect combination. Victor's ability to read opposition teams line out calls is a great part of his game to wither opposition teams down.

6. Stephen Ferris - My favourite player by far, he may have an injury every now and again but this is because its down to the player he is. Body on the line and working for his team! On his day he is as good as the best.

7. Richie McCaw - Everyone knows what he can do, he is a must on the team for his leadership skills and his ability that cause teams much disapointment.

8. Sergio Parisse - The way Sergio leaders the Italian team is 1 point of why he is such a great player but also his ability pushes him into this team as he is a well rounded Number 8.

9. Will Genia - The partnership Genia has with Quade Cooper is outstanding as they both can light up a game.

10. Quade Cooper - Personally he had to be chosen - his kicking game may be suspect sometimes but when he lights up a game its definitely a youtube moment!

11. Tommy Bowe - I found it hard to choose another winger but even though Tommy Bowe is a 14 I still think he could make great runs of the left wing.

12. Sonny Bill Williams - The brand stands out itself, his offloading skills his ability to enhance a game with his skills. A fantastic player and I can't wait to see him in the Rugby World Cup

13. Brian O'Driscoll - The legend himself - alot of people are saying he wasn't the player he was, yea but he is older now. What he had and lost he has made up for in other areas of the Rugby field. For pure inspiration, leadership and moments of "WHAT!" Brian has to be included.

14. Chris Ashton - Made a big name for himself at the 2011 6 Nations, I can see him having a great career like Jason Robinson another Rugby League convert.

15. Kurtley Beale - I personally think he is better at Full Back even though some people are interested in seeing him play more at Fly Half, will be moving to the Melbourne Rebels which i'm sure Kurtley will help them excel more as a team.

 

Let me know your thoughts on my team and who you would choose?
