Not Terrible
Here's my hypothetical lineups ranked in roughly how I rate them, but how do you think they'd go against each other? I'd assume that while 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th should rank roughly in the order I created them (besides the current lineup which is slightly devoid of legends).
And just how does the depth of all-time great NZers stack up to that of other Test playing nations?
