Re: World Team Of The Year
Lots of Aussies and no English, yet the Aussies can't buy a win except against Argentina, laughable really

Re: World Team Of The Year
I must have missed something here, when did Eztebeth move to Wales?

Re: World Team Of The Year
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 to have noticed that Benjamin Kayser is among the nominations?

Re: World Team Of The Year
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?
Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.
