best ever RWC world XV...

based only on performances during the RWC from 1987 to now, what would ur world XV look like???

heres mine,

uzumaki clan  RWC XV

1 os du randt (SA),  2 phil kearns (AUS), 3 phil vickery (eng)

4 john eales (AUS), 5 viktor matfield (SA)

6 micheal jones (NZ), 7 richie McCaw (NZ), 8 zinzan brooke (NZ)

9 george gregan (AUS), 10 johnny wilkinson (ENG)

12 tim horan (AUS), 13 too vaega (SAM)

11 jonah lomu (NZL), 14  brian lima (SAM), 15 jason robinson (ENG)

 Bryan Habana has got to be in there

@agpleez,

not over lomu. based on RWC performances and performances outside of RWC, not even close IMO .

but post ur team, i would like to see it,

Put him on the other wing then, 'based only on performances during the RWC.' 

Joint record try scorer with Lomu, plus has actually won the thing which Jonah hasn't. 

My team would be like 2007 onwards, as I'm too young to really remember games properly before that I've only really watched SA but give me your opinion anyway

If I had to put it down

The only people who I'd ask you to consider are

Joost at 9 (based on highlights of games i've seen from 1995)

Habana at 14 (Like I said, leading try scorer and winner, although you can't drop Lomu I get that)

 @ag,

agree to disagree.

my selection is based on the performances of players in all their matches during the RWCs, and while winning the cup is big feather in the cap, it dosent reflect a players performance on game day.
my team while strictly opinion based, is based on performances of those players during the RWC/RWCs they were in.

its cos of they reasons habana dosent make my XV, but no readson why u shouldnt put him in urs.  i mean habanas performance during the 2011 RWC for example was big snooze fest

arguments about trys scored are redundant as well, lomu score his trys in two RWCs in a total of 11 RWC tests, habana did his in three RWCs for a total of 15 RWC tests and counting

and when u look at the opposition where those tries were scored...

lomu trys in RWC
vs 95 ireland x 2
vs 95 scotland x 1
vs 95 england x 4
vs 99 tonga x 2
vs 99 eng x 1
vs 99 italy x 2
vs 99 scotland x 1
vs 99 france x 2

habana trys in RWC
vs 07 samoa x 4
vs 07 argentina x 2
vs 07 usa x 2
vs 11 nambia x 1
vs 11 samoa x 1
vs 15 samoa x 1
vs 15 sccotland x 1
vs 15 usa x 3

after looking at that, habanas try scoring feat is even more unimpressive then i first thought.
and dont even get me started on try assists, cos lomu would smash habana for a 6 easy peasy.


i also wouldnt bump him to 14, cos if lomu was the most feared attacking winger in the history of the game, than brian lima was the most feared defensive winger.
lima was correctly nicknamed the chiropractor for some of the most brutal tackles recorded on tv.
funny thing is though, his last hit in RWC backfired and the chiropractor needed a chriopractor, lolz,

Joost for Gregan...Larkham for Wilkinson...Campese for Lima....Hayman for Vickery...Bunce for Vaega....Keith Wood for Kearns.

Fitzy for Kearns and Frank Bunce for Vaega
