Make A Team of RWC Winners

As it says in the title: You can only choose players who have lifted the RWC (and played in the final - sorry Dan Carter!) and you're welcome to include the 2011 winners. Just a bit of fun so enjoy yourselves. Here's mine.

1. Tony Woodcock (NZ 2011)
2. John Smit (SA 2007)
3. Phil Vickery (Eng 2003)
4. Martin Johnson (Eng 2003)
5. John Eales (Aus 1999)
6. Francois Pienaar (SA 1995)
7. Michael Jones (NZ 1987)
8. Lawrence Dallaglio (Eng 2003)

9. Nick Farr-Jones (Aus 1991)
10.Grant Fox (NZ 1987)
11.Jason Robinson (Eng 2003)
12.Tim Horan (Aus 1999)
13.Conrad Smith (NZ 2011)
14.David Campese (Aus 1991)
15.Israel Dagg (NZ 2011)

Great names in that team, couple of possible changes off the top of my head.

1. Os Du Randt (SA 95, 07)
2. Sean Fitzpatrick (NZ 87)

8. Wayne Shelford (NZ 87)
13. Jason Little (Aus 91)
15. John Gallaghher (NZ 87)

Good effort. I only started watching post 95 so I'll do a team from 99 onwards if that's okay.

Ha I'd put Carter in despite him not playing the playoffs-he does have a medal and is the best 10 of those who won it.

Surely Du Randt at 1, having won two World Cups.

Ah Tiger...we are going along the same lines there....

Why not do a team of RWC winners from the NH v SH

Oh wait a minute!

I forgot a successful RWC in the NH is making the last four!

I´ll go with a different team. Not because I have a problem with yours but to show there´s plenty of choice available.

Os du Randt. Sean Fitzpatrick Ben Franks

Again this is an age thing I suppose as in who you remember seeing, but even though it was in the amateur days I would have Shelford, Kirwan in any day.

Some amazing inside centres to chose from.

No room for Martin Corry?!

I'd find a place for Umaga in there.

It was harder leaving out Umaga than it was Corry, I'll say that much. Umaga for me was a 13, and I just think BOD is the better player. The likes of Bunce, Sella, Gibbs, Guscott and Hastings also not making the side.

Quite a few really top class players not lifting that trophy. Particularly from France and New Zealand.

Obviously there are lot of players that never had chance due to age and when WC was formed etc but one of the best players I have ever seen play who did not win it was Uma Paloma Blanco.

Sheer class and on 60 a day lol
