No rugby. So may as well speculate a little...and talk the proverbial.
The rules: You have to pick a non-conventional side. Your team can be comprised of any type of player. They may utilise any gameplan as long as it remains within the rules. You may pick former or current players, or even composites(of course within reason because everybody would love a Lomu that could step like Cheslin and think like DuPont- be reasonable with the make-up of your player's abilities/size). You can even make up players of your own(again, be reasonable...don't make up players that couldn't actually exist).
The outcome: You have to justify why that side would beat any team in the world today.
Note: this is hypothetical - to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Ha ha yes we have a thor already, even if he is retired. Interesting in a post match interview with Duane he admits to still doing Contact training together with the Boys ….still showing them a thing or two:)

Anyway, I pick Doctor Manhattan and don't need the 14 other players.
He can perceive time non linearly, manipulate matter at a fundamental level and teleport.
Let's stick to the mandate.

"Labrador to the bench"
Nope. There's not a better fetcher than a Labrador . . . other than my French Bulldog Billy of course.
