2- john smit -
111 caps for South Africa.
125 caps for sharks.
South African captain for many years.
I think these statistics speak for themselves and show that he defiantly deserves a place in this team.
3- Tony Woodcock - Supreme scrummager and probably the widest range of skills of any prop, i just had to put him on the team.
4- Brad Thorne - He's one of those players that no one messes with in less your brain dead, but that's not why i picked him, he's also a great player and one of the fittest out there.

5- Victor Matfield - At 19st this lumbering beast is surprisingly nimble on the pitch and in the lineout which is where he excels and he is probably the best lock at the lineout at the moment, he is also a great ball carrier.
6- Thierry dusautoir - An underrated player in my opinion, his most notable feature is his tackling, the amount is both substantial in terms of power and one's made, he also excels in other area's such as running with the ball.
7- Richie McCaw - I've written a brief post about Richie outlining what i believe sets him apart and on reading its contents you might get the idea that I'm a bit of a fan boy, and you would be right!
All joking aside i see absolutely no other player who could go here, just an amazing player and captain.

8- Pierre Spies - Just an absolute beast and still incredibly fast for his size, an incredible sports man and one who makes yardage whenever he get he's paws, woops i mean hands, on the ball.
9- Will Geina. - I always wonder what sets a scrumhalf apart from any other, a great pass? great kick? great decision making? and ofcourse genia has all this attributes but in his case what sets him apart is that he's not afraid to run with the ball and infact love to and is a brilliant try scorer.
10- Dan carter. - Incredible kicker and all together great player and even though New Zealand managed to pull it off and win the 2011 world cup they defiantly struggled with out him.

11- Digby ioane - Defiantly the best out there for this position at the moment, at least in my opinion, plus he can do an insane dance celebration.
12- Francois steyn. - A very good player but the reason i had to pick him was because of this beast of a drop goal.
13- Brian o'driscal. - The thing about him is that he's clever and the phrase 'moment of genius' has become well associated with him.
Not only does he have those one off moments but he's consistent and is one of the top try scorers out there and has lead Ireland to victory many a time.
14- Jonah Lomu - It seemed every time he got the ball there was the danger of him scoring, he was just so big, fast and powerful making him virtually unstoppable one on one, I know that I've watched his video's many times to get pumped up before a game.
15- Israel Dagg - He's quite a young All black player and a very exciting one to watch, he's dangerous with the ball in hand and i can't wait to keep watching him and hopefully see him progress.
One of my favorite moments of the world cup was this off load from Israel, the picture of him below is of him just about to offload.
