They already beat everyone...Wiese only current Bok I'd replace now...and reluctantly, but Hanekom is breaking down the door.
...only way to blood new players are off the bench...
And sorry Plum, I didn't misunderstood your request...I'm too lazy to think about it...the scope is too big for my small tired mond.
Superman as Flyhalf and the Hulk as Blindeside flanker. On defence I will have the Flash….done my 3 man team will win everything:)
BATMAN must be 10...Superman can be a handy rest of the backline all-in-1...Thor must be @ 8....oh wait...
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:)
One of my favorite players of all time...
Now, I'm not saying you totally disobeyed all of the very few rules I put in place for this theory crafting exercise...but for fuck sakes...YOU BROKE EVERY SINGLE RULE I PUT IN PLACE FOR THIS THEORY CRAFTING EXERCISE!
Still funny though ;)
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.

Gerber was our top 13 followed by Am in my books - Fourie, Joubert, Jessie and Mulder up there but I can’t place them
At a push - Fourie, Mulder, Joubert then Jessie
For some odd reason Gerber played inside center with a 13 on his back...started a lot of games at inside...go check.

Mof Myburgh Moaner van Heerden bomb squad?
Yes, good ones! Both definitely at least bomb squad. Maybe even starters.
I think I love Percy Twentyman-Jones
I like Saturday Knight best . . . and you have to wonder how Long George Devenish (a halfback) got his name!
Basie van Wyk. Mannetjies Roux. Uli (pronounced Olie) Schmidt…to back up Piston van Wyk.
And Dogue de Bordeaux at 8th man, Rottweiler moves to 6 and Labrador to the bench,
"Labrador to the bench"
I don’t think Dave would like your props….much too small for modern rugby, lightweight pretenders.
"Nope. There's not a better fetcher than a Labrador . . . other than my French Bulldog Billy of course."
Golden Retriever...puts up hand...paw...and Malinois for fullback.
Let’s not forget the modern names Beast Mtawarira and Ox Niche
Ox is even more destructive than Beast...
A bomb squad for your team, Rooi...
16. Doggo Argentino 17. Anatolian Shepherd 18. Cane Corso 19. Kangal Shepherd 20. Phila Brasileiro 21. Alaskan Malamute 22. Akita 23. Newfie

Or you could just bring the Akita and leave everyone else at home.
here's that bomb squad...

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.
