HAIR PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL XV

I know there are some impressive contenders out there for hair products XV.
We all have our favourites, but I'll kick it off with a few of mine.
And we will be needing backups and a bench, so feel free to add in your own favourites.
Here we go for a starter:

1. Marler (Quins) Ref magnet hairdo, 'nuff said. Backup : Duncan Jones
2. Polota Nau (Waratahs) a Hooker's Afro, although we would not say that to his face.
Szarzewski
Keith Wood - Oreal's nightmare, the champion for low maintenance headstyle
3. Adam Jones ('spreys) Perm spray to dai for.
4. Richie Gray (Scotland) Bottle Blond Braveheart advertising feature.
5. Mauritz Botha (Sarries) 'English' Bokke, only in the team for his hair.
6. Josh Strauss (Glasgow) rough Bokke who laughs in the face of Gillette.
7. Jonathan Poff (London Wasps) black maned Kiwi.
So much hair he has to nick his team mates' shampoo in the team showers.
8. Chabal Le Cavion (sp?) Never discovered 'barber', since leaving the cave,
Radike Samo - honourable mention
9. Robson (Glaws) Brylcreem's poster boy.
Magnificant quiff, with brilliant hold for at least first 50 minutes.
Danny Care (Careful with that razor Danny)
10. Sir Jonny Wilkinson - gone native. Hairstyle increasingly in homage to Chabal.
11. Robinson, Harry. Boy band looks allegedly.
12. Henson (LW) still a shimmer there somewhere
13. Strettle (Sarries) more visible fringing than Richie McCaw.
14. Tom Biggs (Barf) hair like he just jumped out the Barf. Plus see 3. Jones.
15. Percy Montgomery (by popular demand - of one, no, two posters)

In no particular order, the bench:
16. Jamie Smith (Dragons) Services to 'bring back the fringe' campaign.
17. Nick Cummins (W Force) Badger rocked up on the wing, but newcomer to this post - benched for now.
16. Dan Leo
19. Kleeburger
21. Erik & Magnus Lund - Viking genetics beginning to show
22. Richard Haughton

Obviously Henson.

Harry Robinson on the wing he is almost boyband material.

I did wonder, but left one or two selections for you
Has his barnet regained its former glory ? still lacking body after its sabbatical ?

well ok then, stick him in at 12, the magic will probably still shimmer through.

Surely theres a space for Tom Biggs on the wing ?

James O'Connor

Ritchie Gray at lock.

Ridicki samo (terrible spelling) at 8 , got to love the afro

He's not an international but Jamie Smith of the Dragons has a terrible mop. at least he did when he left Ulster.
He could be your 15.

Room has to be found for Nick "the honey badger" Cummins.

Polota-nau at hooker.

Smith wasn't a particularily good FB. I don't see him standing much of a chance at replacement hooker!

Mrs P, pl feel free to edit the selection, as this is a team effort.
Our collective knowledge is stronger than one man's / woman's.

Can add Jacques burger ( saracens) to the backroom. Zane kritchner the SA fullback - or as biltong would say sideshow bob.

Peter Nelson the Ulster Fullback maybe simply because he's a, well he's, um he's. I can't say it help me out here MrsP

Defo Percy Montgomery for fullback, and added bonus he can play as well too, is the bok's top points scorer

Flame haired, auburn, titian, copper ....

calm down dear..... LOL!!

How bout Saia Faingaa with the plaited dreds?? Geesh, I'm thinking of a whole side there, George smith as flanker...

Yes very copper MrsP lol well you wont miss him anyways

What about Castrogiovani he is just asking for his hair and/or beard to be pulled having it that long. You would have to be brave to do it off course lol

Didn't Travis Knoyle have a daft barnet for a while?

Keith Wood?

Keith should be recognised MrsP for his contribution to the wax industry.

Paddy Wallace in his younger days

chabal...

Szarzewski for the back-up hooker. Far too close to a L'Oreal advert for a front row forward.

Wilkinson for #10? Certainly seems to have gone for the 'flowing locks' look over the last couple of years.

Oh and can I second Percy Montgomery for full back?

Richard Haughton at 22. Covers the back three and more 'Sideshow Bob' than Kirchner.


Josh Strauss for the beard. That's gotta need some special attention in the hair care stakes. You have Chabal at 8, so maybe slot Strauss in at 6 unless a better candidate is nominated.

Jonathan Poff at 7.

Strauss

Haughton

Poff

Radike Samo would run Chabal close.

Different style I know but good head of hair.

Surely Mouritz Botha for a 2nd row spot?

Simple, we move Chabal to lock and have Samo as number 8

beshocked wrote:Surely Mouritz Botha for a 2nd row spot?

Not good enough to even make this team

OP reminder.
This is the team from 'Hair'.
So rugby skills not the paramount key to selection.
Botha makes it on his Barnet score.

Duncan Jones in at Loosehead

What about Dan Leo on the bench?

And just for the beard, Adam Cleeburger the blindside from Canada with his epic World Cup facial hair

That is a great 15. I'd love to see them play

Servat when asked about Szarzewski said " he is far to pretty to be a french hooker"

Sorry to disappoint, but Kleeburger chopped off the face fuzz when he played for London Scottish last season.

Dan Leo lost his afro too.

Dan Leo

Kleeburger

Erik & Magnus Lund are worth a shout though.
