Lots of Aussies and no English, yet the Aussies can't buy a win except against Argentina, laughable really

As Fazlet was in line for world player award why is he not on the list. Absolute travesty. No Ashton also defies logic, I am stunned.
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Am I the only one who doesn't know who has drawn up this 'World Team of the Year'? Could the OP shed some light on this with possibly a link to their source of information?

Anybody pays any attention to these 'world teams' must be short of a DIY job or two.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.
