    RWC 2011 Unsigned XV

    Discuss the best "unsigned" players in the tournament ending up with (probably a few) TWF XV Selections.
    For the exercise, "unsigned" means not signed to a Tier 1 Club Team (ie Super Rugby, English Premier, France, Japan etc) but can potentially be from English Div 1, Currey Cup, NPC.
    Can think of a couple already putting their hands up from the Pacific Islands and the America's.
    Others will see far more footage than me, so lead away.

    Pretty impressed with the Georgian Scrumhalf last night, though not sure his status re clubs.

    the Japanese #9 (with the performance shown in the ABs game) another player who showed Peru Peru Weepu to play.

    Is Wepu in the team only to do the Haka ?

    Kleeberger. The Canadian blindside. A little small, but similar to Hodgo - plays a bit like an extra fetcher. Hits heaps of rucks and disrupts the opposition ball all day.

    Gorgodze the Georgian openside/8/blindside/centre - think he played all those at some stage of his 83 mins. 14 runs for 98m, 13 rucks and 3 T/O's. Won a much deserved MOM from the very brave losing (on the score sheet at least) team . Think he's signed in France though(?).

    No. Weepu leads the Haka because if he knelt down nobody would see him.

    Phil Mackenzie - Canadian Winger seemed to be the pick of their backs
    Janjties from Namibia has some potential as well
