Not sure about Ian Williams and had to move Pat Howard to full back as back three was a bit skinny. Is anyone missing here? Notable exclusions include Brent Pope, John Mitchell, Bruce Deans, Glen Jackson and Steve Bachop. And from the professional era:
- Ollie le Roux
- Richardt Strauss
- Robbie Kempson
- Nathan Hines
- John Langford
- Rocky Elsom
- Andy Ward
- Jim Williams
- Ruan Pienaar
- Felipe Contepomi
- Isa Nacewa
- Trevor Halstead
- Rua Tipoki
- Dougie Howlett
- Chris Cullen
Comments, as always, are welcome and encouraged.
Not sure which era he’d be properly placed in, but didn’t Jonathan Davies Mk.1 play for – well, sign for at any rate – Lansdowne in his dotage?
I know two of the players from the amateur era, and I only know them as coaches!!
Hard to argue with the pro-era team. Might rest and digest on it for a bit, see who I can think of.
A more serious suggestion than Davies; how about Martin Leslie to join his Clontarf clubmate Gary T in the amateurs’ back-row?
