Great teams and not too many arguments from me in the selections. I have watched through all these eras. The game I would most like to watch is the 70s vs the 90s - what an entertaining game that would be. Personally I think Ben Smith was a much better fullback than Barrett. And Michael Jones unlucky not to be at least an honorable mention.

totally agree with the French 😱 But I'd also love to see the clock stopped as soon as the whistle has gone awarding the scrum and restarted when hooked feeds the ball in. That would eradicate scrum setting time wasting done to take time out the sin bin clock and ultimately have more actual time watching rugby being played

Also look at standing over the line when throwing in a line out.

It is time now for England to drop his ridiculous rule which prevents English born players from the privilege of representing their country

Bullshit. He's a fine ref. Australia cry whenever they get an opportunity.

And everyone forgets that Africa has not hosted since 1995. That means if they got a shot in 2035 it would be a 40 year wait. How is that fair?

Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.
