[Jamee999]

I've heard of neither of those guys, but I respect going for 2 props infinitely much.

Ah, sorry. Graham Price (spelt it wrong) was a Welsh prop who played in the late 70s and early 80s and was a British Lion. Paparemborde was a French prop from the same era, who sadly died in 2001.

I've pretty much never heard of anyone that has been picked except for the obvious ones such as Lomu etc...

 

[chaminda_00]

Os du Randt (whatever number the loosie plays)

 

[ripper868]

That would be 1...good pick, would have been one of my props....back to the drawing board

 

[Francis]

Ooops I chose before BoyBrumby. Sorry bout that. I deleted the post.

Going to sort out the positions where I have little or no knowleadge early. Then back my little knowleadge with the more common positions. Unless my to 3-5 picks go early. I can't believe how little I know of players outside Australia.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Has to be Johnno: Martin Johnson (c)

 

[Francis]

Hmm... Brumby's choice is making me think I need a lock. There's plenty of great locks, but with Johnno, Eales, Meads and du Preez taken I need a legendary lock.

Willie John McBride

 

[99*]

Thanks Somerset for keeping an eye on this. Much appericated.

 

[Indipper]

Curse you people for picking all my props.

 

[Francis]

Oh shut up! You stole Frik du Preez from me - the greatest rugby player of all time.

 

[Jamee999]

Has to be Johnno: Martin Johnson (c)

****. I knew I shouldn't have said you'd want to be in this.

 

[Jamee999]

Bill Beaumont, we'll just take the captain 25 years before...

 

[Indipper]

Hm, tough. I'll guess I'll take Ian McLauchlan.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Bill Beaumont, we'll just take the captain 25 years before...

I've got a good anecdote about him. When captaining England he was rallying the troops as a female streaker ran behind him and seeing his teammates were distracted asked what the problem was?. His teammates reply was along the lines of there's a girl on the field with your backside onj her chest.

 

[Simon]

Joost van der Westhuizen

He used to be good a few years ago from memory.

 

[Smudge]

Danie Gerber (#13)

Never saw the best of him due to South Africa being in isolation, but his one genuine crack when he was near his peak - v NZ in NZ in 1981 - was pretty damn outstanding.
