Aye true just trying to get the best side by any means. I was recently an accountant with a Prem competitor but won't say which...

Mele for Spain seems just as cheeky and Tkhilashvili only played A-league. Whilst typing that I remembered the Christian Loamanu though!

1.Ayerza (Argentina)
2.Kayser (France)
3.Castro (Italy)
4.Van Heerden (South Africa)
5.Hamilton (Scotland)
6.Mafi (Tonga)
7.Newby (New Zealand)
8.Corry (England) (c)

9.Murphy (Ireland)
10.Williams (Wales)

11.Alesana (Samoa)
12.Howard (Australia)
13.Loamanu (Japan)
14.Rabeni (Fiji)
15.Scully (USA)

Re-jigged a few positions as well for variety but that could be considered a strict selection.

Mele is only a cheeky selection in the sense that he was capped after he left Tigers.

Don’t think they have to be capped just 15 different nationalities

Once Mamukashvili has played for the club this will be an easier exercise not needing to be cheeky with the likes of Seru (Pacific Islanders and Fiji) or Mele (France and Spain).

The other cheeky option I considered was Hamish Watson but he didn't make a Tigers appearance at senior level.

Giorgi Tkhilashvili (Georgia played for the A-team but I decided to stick with first XV appearances.
Didn't we have the Chinese national captain at one time? what about Kardooni Iranian

There's got to be a place for Brad Thorn. Not with us anywhere like long enough, but sheer class.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….
