Headhunter's vote is crucial as it means big Jonah Lomu edges out the great Campo by th odd point & BoD gets closer than he's any right to (seriously, what has he done in world cups?!?) but common sense prevails and Wilkinson advances.
Final two match ups for Round 2: Battle 7 Nick Farr-Jones (Australia)  vs Doug Howlett (New Zealand)  Battle 8 Michael Lynagh (Australia)  vs Tim Horan (Australia)  Australia's victorious captain from 1991 goes up against the flying All-Black wing who was the top try-scorer in 2003 & his halves partner from that first triumph faces another team-mate who repeated the dose in 1999 for good measure.

Quarter-Finals
Relatively straightforward wins for Farr-Jones & Horan mean we now have our final 8:
John Eales Nick Farr-Jones Tim Horan Stephen Larkham Sean Fitzpatrick Michael Jones Jonah Lomu Jonny Wilkinson Antipodeans very much in the majority, but Jonny is still in there. I'll go to one match-up per day now we'e entering the home straight. The draw is, as ever, random & the first names out of the randomiser are: 1st Quarter Nick Farr-Jones (Australia)  vs Jonah Lomu (New Zealand)  In a trans-Tasman clash the quick hands & guile of Australia's captain & scrum-half from their 1991 victory go up against the awesome Rugby battering-ram that was Jonah Lomu. |

Nick Farr-Jones (Australia)
If this was just general rugby Lomu. But Farr-Jones did for more then Lomu at World Cups and really stepped up when his country needed him, rather then go missing.
