I think there's a strong argument for picking centres in pairs - Dodge, Woodward (for example!).

Openside Flanker
Richie McCaw
David Pocock
Neil Back
Josh Kronfeld
George Smith
I would squeeze in Peter Winterbottom in there somewhere, another unsung hero

No 8s
Dean Richards
Willie Ofahengaue
Wayne Shelford
Sergio Parisse
Francois Pienaar
For me
Parisse
Zinzan Brooke
Shelford
Mervyn Davies
Richards
Pienaar, a great player but not an 8 (maybe a couple of times) but a flanker for the vast majority so for me not a top of the list 8

Add one to the list of 15s El Magico himself Juan Martin Hernandez always a much better 15 than 10 in my opinion
I heard a rumour that he is coming to Tigers :)

Why has my plea to stop this never ending nonsense been removed? You could churn out players names forever.
The way this lock down is going we could be here forever more

I'm younger than most of you fine gentleman but if we are picking centres in pairs I'd go Greenwood/Tindall,Darcy/BOD,Smith/Nonu and obviously Allen/Manu

Conrad or Ollie?
I suspect I know the answer, but Ollie in his (brief) pomp was a quality player.

Philippe Sella can’t be omitted. Outstanding centre!
So was Yannick Jauzion.
