    Some interesting picks. Would be interesting if he picked again post world cup. Hooper over Savea is laughable.

    @Daffy-Jaffy Hooper over anyone is pretty laughable. Weird pick on Crotty too. I don't buy the Vunipola "hype". They seem to get lauded as they are a point of difference in the England team, but compared to their peers I don't see why they get rated so highly.

      @Bones I rate Mako but always thought Billy was limited. I remember the hype around Billy vs the Al Blacks at twickers years ago, then Pat T. on debut smashed him when he ran from a ruck and he disappeared for the rest of the game. He has improved though since Eddie got some weight off him making him a bit more mobile. But Read would be in my team any day.

        I think how good Ardie is currently will be a surprise this RWC to many non-NZ fans

          Journalist's picks to keep the readership happy and show some impartiality.

            Good on him for sticking his neck out like that pre the RWC.
            I obviously disagree with a number of his selections - but I guess that's the point. Something for debate and conversation.

                @MiketheSnow of the Kiwis picked (well the ones that play for New Zealand), one is out of position, two have hardly played due to injury and the other is debatable as to whether he's the best in his position in NZ, let alone the world.

                    @Billy-Webb Apparently he was asked for the team during a podcast interview without warning so it was an 'off the cuff' selection.

                      @Billy-Webb godammit. I don't think we even have any Irish lurking so can't even troll the fact only 1 player has been selected from the best team in the world...

                                    I'll make the popcorn. This will be fun to watch.

                                    Popcorn after lunch, you fat bastard.

                                    Bones? Are you really a kiwi bloke or is that actually my wife who has been quietly lurking on the Fern these last years?

                                      But on to our best pre-RWC 15.
