Feel free to add more first names if you think a team can be completed, maybe George Chuter, Ford, Robson, Lowe etc. Over to you guys, try not to use internet as that would make it easy.

Edited No-one likes to play out of position Hot_Charlie 36 Anyone?

[duffers]

I'll let others have a go also so here's just one for each team.


10. Tom Heathcote

12. Dan Bowden

1. Ben Alexander

[Hot_Charlie]

Does Tom(as) O'Leary count as a 9?

Shame really. A few years ago you could have had a Tiger at 9. Tom Tierney.

On to the Dans, you can fill another 2 slots by pushing Dan Carter to 12 and moving Cipriani to 15.

[hww27]

I have a Dan for you - we have a number 4 at Nottingham, Dan Montagu :)

[Hot_Charlie]

Edited No-one likes to play out of position Hot_Charlie 36 Anyone?

Cipriani has played 15 fairly regularly, certainly when he was at Wasps.

Oh, and Ben Franks at prop, Ben Botica at 10?...

...and a Tom, Tom Court at prop.

[ginge]

Just off the top of my head Tom Smith Saints and Scottish Prop.
Ben Kaiser former Tigers hooker.

[Bertos]

You already have both wingers on team Tom, but leaving Tommy Bowe out in place of Varndell and Biggs is a tough call...

[Bertos]

Also you could move Croft to lock (at a push) and have Tom Johnson in at 6.

[biffer]

Tom Brown (wing / fullback)
Ben Atiga (inside Centre)
Ben Cairns (outside centre)

all Edinburgh

Tom Ryder (lock)
Tommy Seymour (wing)

both Glasgow

[biffer]

A Scottish XV of Alan and Al. All internationals

1. Allan Jacobsen
2. Alun Walker
3. Alan Sharp
4. Al Kellock
5. Alan Tomes
6. Al Strokosch
7. Alan MacDonald
8. Ally Hogg

9. Alan Lawson
10. Allen Sloan
11. Alan Tait
12. Alan Bulloch
13. Alex Grove
14. Allan Cameron
15. Ally Biggar

[GETHIN EXILE]

Tom Homer anywhere from 11 to 15

[FrontRowUnionMember]

Ben Robinson, Ben Afeaki, Ben Mowen

Tom McGee, Tom Mercey, Tom May, Tom Arscott, Tom Prydie, Tom Homer

Dan Hipkiss, Dan Caprice, Dan Norton, Dan Vickerman, Daniel Braid, Daniel Halangahu.

[biffer]

Dan Parks has to be first choice at 10, surely?

A Scottish XV of Alan and Al. All internationals

1. Allan Jacobsen
2. Alun Walker
3. Alan Sharp
4. Al Kellock
5. Alan Tomes
6. Al Strokosch
7. Alan MacDonald
8. Ally Hogg

9. Alan Lawson
10. Allen Sloan
11. Alan Tait
12. Alan Bulloch
13. Alex Grove
14. Allan Cameron
15. Ally Biggar

So that would be Alastair Kellock, Alasdair Strokosch, Allister Hogg and Alexander Grove. In other words, if your forename begins with the same two letters, you're in.
As a matter of interest, who is Ally Biggar? Since one of the criteria is only to use current professional rugby union players, I'm discounting Alastair Biggar who played in the late 60s - early 70s and went on the 1971 Lions tour.

Jeez, it's a bit of fun, lighten up.

Yes, Ally Biggar from the 60s. I was reaching by that point.

Mind you, calling Danny Cipriani a professional is pushing it as well in my book...
