Israel Dagg Servat added. Not only is he by far the best hooker left, but he and Nallet worked incredibly well in tandem in the lineout over the World Cup. Couldn't resist.
Solid team - good 9-10 pairing. I was a bit surprised when Ellis was left out of the AB squad. Good front row. Go for a good 3 next so that you can claim the best front row imho.
So it's fair. The only reason Cooper/Burger weren't taken straight after I kicked Benny out of the draft was because his picks were void. If someone picked Dan Carter in round one, didn't make any further picks until round 4 and then was kicked out of the draft. Would it be fair to allow people to pick Dan Carter? No, it's an unfair advantage to the next draft picker.

@Mike- do I go now or do I wait for Mr Prez and give him 24 hours to pick? He did not make his pick last time.
