I'm trying to find the unique thing they all have in common so I know what Best of All Time this represents, but I'm coming up with nada.

They qualify from their playing days not how they are now so Jeff Wilson misses out

Ok, I get it now, but most of Ellis' playing days he wouldn't qualify would he?

Not in 1993 when he played first five.

I’m happy for you to come up with better options, I can’t think of any.

What about Freddie Michalak?

Great call, or Gregor Townsend !

@MN5 Keith Wood the Irishman at hooker, surely?

Nepia

Oh yeah that's a great call. Also, shouldn't you hand in you Scottish card for omitting him in the first place?

Was hoping no one would notice……

Yes. Greening demoted to the bench

I scrolled past all the shit unreadable on phones quoted stuff. I guess someone answered above? As mentioned, it's unreadable

Still don't know why Rory Best isn't there.

Have moved Nelson to Wing. Not a heap of ginger pace out there. Jeff Wilson could get a wing spot, but not sure he'd appreciate that at all

Edit - forgot to mention that this time prefers to play night games but could do day games in the northern hemisphere

I was going to suggest Brad Shields for 8. Other contenders are Culhane or Jannie De Beer at 10. Gordon Simpson at 7.

Could we sneak Paul Steinmetz in at 12 as a borderline daywalker?
