    I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.

    I want a goalkicker somewhere in the team, and Beauden isn't it.

    What's the point if the ball is too slow coming to him?

      Leguizamon ? He is not even in the Jaguares starting XV ! Matera could be a better option on the bench.

        Thomas ? Are you serious ? This guy does not know how to defend and runs sometimes like a headless chicken (please watch the ERC 2018 cup final against Leinster). I reckon he has serious wheels but there are far better right wings on the international scene.

          @derm-mccrum No Rieko in the 23 at all? At the very least I'd suggest Rieko would make the 23 jersey as Barrett and Ben Smith can cover fullback.

          I'd suggest that Reiko would make the 11 jersey considering he's the premier wing in the world and as far as I know Ben Smith has never played on the left?

          In MY team, I expect players to try things they’ve never done before...

          Sexton must be shitting himself worrying about having to run with the ball.

          He’s used to that by now.

            When did we start using bogan ball terms, first receiver. 1st 5 or stand off please.

                          Someone already knocked that easy ball out of the park hours ago. Swinging at empty air is not a good look on here. You need to be on your toes.

                              Mate 'swinging at empty air' is what the Fern is about. We excel at it.

                                    I'd play Beauden Barrett at 15, allowing him to come up to first receiver a lot. The best of both worlds. Murray can take the exit plays, moves etc, but Beauden comes in if he sees a hole.

                                    What's the point if the ball is too slow coming to him?

                                    Oops, not Murray, Sexton. Beauden at fullback, but with the option to come forward on attack.

                                    Genia or Smith at halfback.

                                    Every team needs a kicker.

                                        Universal selection of Moody.

                                        Am I missing something?

                                        Best in NZ but best in the world?

                                        Come December we'll have a clearer idea I guess.

                                          I have to admit that I was surprised that everyone was rating him that high, although I'm unsure of the alternative standouts.
                                          It comes down to style again though. Does best loosehead mean best scrummager? For some teams that's the criteria. For the ABs he needs to be able to run, draw and pass, make attack decisions etc
