Pick what you think would be the two greatest backlines in history (Putting players together from anywhere). Go!
9. Joost van der Westhuizen 10. Dan Carter 11. Jonah Lomu 12. Ma'a Nonu/Tana Umaga 13. Philippe Sella 14. David Campese 15. Chris Latham/Christian Cullen
9 - Gareth Edwards 10 - Dan Carter 11 - David Campese 12 - Tim Horan 13 - Brian O'Driscoll 14 - Jonah Lomu 15 - JPR Williams
I'm gonna have to think about this but Lomu can't be the best winger cause he can't defend... or is this just based on attack?
Awesome effort 9 Nick Farr Jones 10 Porta sp? If he was an All Black he would be regarded as the best 11 Camberabero (can't spell 12 Horan 13 Sella by a country Mile. He is known as the Great Phillipe Sella in this neck of the woods. 14 Campese 15 JPR That is a line up sans ABs The only ABs I probably would sneak in there would be Lomu Robertson Nepia
This is interesting... I was thinking : 9. Joost van der Westhuizen 10. Dan Carter 11. Jonah Lomu 12. Tana Umaga 13. Conrad Smith 14. David Campese 15. Christian Cullen
Sella >>> Smith Sella had more courage and ticker than any player I have ever seen. Smith for his part is the best defensive back I have seen in my life. Watching him play at Super XV level is frightening how many tackles he gets through.
Yeah not really sure on that one, I just personally can't go pass Smith for his defence. I would say Carter and Cullen would be the only ones I wouldn't move on, everyone else is up for debate
Then granted Smith is the greatest centre you have seen. I would rate him as the best centre I have seen since the year 2000. Sella was every thing French. Passion. Spirit. Not necessarily flair. But he had his own charisma. We don't hand out the title of "The Great" to everyone who visits NZ.
9 Gregan/Joost 10 Carter/Wilkinson 11 Lomu/Robinson 12 Nonu/Umaga 13 O'Driscoll/Sella 14 Habana/Campese 15 Hastings/Blanco Off the top of my head.
9. Joost van der Westhuizen / George Gregan 10. Dan Carter / as much as it pains me Johnny Wilkinson 11. Brian Habana / Julian Savea (Think these will swap places before long) 12. Tana Umaga / Tim Horan 13. Brian O'Driscoll / Conrad Smith 14. Campese (He pissed me off for years) / Doug Howlett or Rococococococococ 15. Christian Cullen / John Gallagher - should never have gone to league
