Premiership All Star XV vs. Pro 14 All Star XV
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 1:45 pm
I read an article this morning where Martyn Williams picked his Pro 14 best XV.
To save you having to read it, it was:
1. Rob Evans
2. Sean Cronin
3. Tadhg Furlong
4. Tadhg Beirne
5. Alun Wyn Jones
6. Sean O’Brien
7. Ellis Jenkins
8. CJ Stander
9. Conor Murray
10. Johnny Sexton
11. James Lowe
12. Hadleigh Parkes
13. Jonathan Davies
14. George North
15. Stuart Hogg
I’m not sure that’s what I’d have gone for, but how would that fare against the best of the Premiership?
I’d have ours as:
1. Mako Vunipola
2. Jamie George
3. Dan Cole
4. Maro Itoje
5. Joe Launchbury
6. Taulupe Faletau*
7. Thomas Young
8. Billy Vunipola
9. Faf de Klerk
10. Danny Cipriani
11. Liam Williams
12. Matt Tooumua
13. Elliot Daly
14. Charles Piutau
15. Willie le Roux
I reckon that would be a belter of a game.
* Before anyone says ‘he’s an 8’, he played at 6 for Wales in the 6N.
