put the three SH teams together and play them, that's what I want to see.

[MI5_Dog]

so as suggested by welshrugbyfan

If there were a combined southern hemisphere side who would you pick to play and coach from the current crop of players in the rugby championship?

[jargan83]

Lions wouldn't get within 50 of such a side

SH > NH

[eleypinkbit]

Didn't they have a SH v NH game for a tsunami fundraiser a few years ago?

[Buddha Handy]

would love to see it but would never happen

I will give it a shot

1 Beast
2 Bismarck
3 O Franks
4 Horwill
5 Etzebeth
6 Pocock
7 McCaw (c)
8 Reid
9 Genia
10 Carter
11 Ioane
12 De Villiers
13 Smith
14 Savea
15 Dagg

16 Du Plessis
17 Moore
18 Robinson
19 Bekker
20 Spies
21 A.Smith
22 O'Connor
23 Folau

I didn't include Argies, otherwise Roncero, Albacete and Lobbe would have been a chance.

so 8 aussies, 7 saffas and 8 kiwis. seems fair.

Confused me a bit there, Buddha, having both du Plessis and Moore on the bench; I presume you mean the bench is Jannie du Plessis.

Not sure about Slipper in Guru's starting XV, but maybe having the Beast coming on at 60 would be an awesome sub.

Either Buddha's or Guru's team would trounce the Lions; there's a reason why the Lions tour each country in turn!

[eleypinkbit]

Not a bad team!
