Your team of the decade

Post by cashead »

So yeah, 7th day of 2020, in a world where now Blade Runner and Akira are set in the past.

What's your team of the decade? This is inspired a bit (a lot) by John Cardinelli's "Springboks Team of the Decade" article in SARugby Mag, where his 2010s Springbok team is:

1. Tendai Mtawarira
2. Bismarck du Plessis
3. Frans Malherbe
4. Eben Etzebeth
5. Victor Matfield
6. Schalk Burger
7. Pieter-Steph du Toit
8. Duane Vermeulen
9. Fourie du Preez
10. Handre Pollard
11. Bryan Habana
12. Jean de Villiers
13. Jaque Fourie
14. JP Pietersen
15. Willie le Roux

which, in all fairness, is a good, albeit a bit obvious, team.

So, here are mine:

All Blacks TOTD
1. Tony Woodcock
2. Dane Coles
3. Owen Franks
4. Brodie Retallick
5. Sam Whitelock
6. Jerome Kaino
7. Richie McCaw
8. Kieran Read
9. Aaron Smith
10. Dan Carter
11. Julian Savea
12. Ma'a Nonu
13. Conrad Smith
14. Ben Smith
15. Beauden Barrett

And including non-NZ players:
1. Tendai Mtawarira (South Africa)
2. Dane Coles (New Zealand)
3. Davit Zirakashvili (Georgia)
4. Brodie Retallick (New Zealand)
5. Sam Whitelock (New Zealand)
6. Peter O'Mahony (Ireland)
7. Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
8. Kieran Read (New Zealand)
9. Aaron Smith (New Zealand)
10. Daniel Carter (New Zealand)
11. Bryan Habana (South Africa)
12. Ma'a Nonu (New Zealand)
13. Conrad Smith (New Zealand)
14. Adam Ashley-Cooper (Australia)
15. Ben Smith (New Zealand)
