a bit going on at the moment about the numbers of overseas players reducing in numbers in the british game for various reasons, which might not be a bad thing. However have a look at this team of overseas players who have graced the shirt at some time or other. the back line full of tries and its no exaggeration to say any of these would almost certainly be close to 20 tries a season, just a little creativity in the key positions of 6, 7, 9 and 13, and just look at that back three. indeed the only possible weak area is at prop, but with 2 second rowers more than capable of doing some time here (and greenhill in his prime being an 80 minute man) we can evern afford a back on the subs bench with even more creative ability, just in case one of the starters is having an off day. these are some of the players who didn't make my team; o hara, au kuoi, blacklock, tony, sing, maher, daylight, treister, gene, hasler, manu and mc menemy. i've probably missed one or two candidates as well but here is my team (10 aussies, 5 kiwis, 1 tongan and 1 frenchy)

1 kemble
2 best
3 barnett snr
4 leuluai
5 vaikona
6 mackey
7 sterling
8 greenhill
9 swain
10 o meley
11 fitz
12 kearney
13 j smith

14 entat
15 felsch
16 muggleton
17 grimaldi

the coach would be peter walsh (only kidding! - its brian smith)

ohara would deffo be in my team,apart from that you have picked a great team,also fred was a great player

Much as I loved Colin Best it has to be Wilf Rosenburg at 2 and Daniel Divet at 15/16 or 17 for sheer impact and je ne sais quo.

Agree about Divet.

Due to me being miles younger than all of you

I am struggling at FB, in my time all of our full backs have been English.

1:Barnett
2:Best
3:Grant

If thats your time then Holmes or Fitzgerald could be FB?

No space for Filli Seru?

Filli Seru was a legend.. Used to love his over sized forearm pad

Steven Holmes was an excellent full back in our promotion year.

Seemed to carry a lot of padding somehow.

Hard to leave some of them out but I would go for:-

1 Kemble
2 Best
3 Barnett snr
4 Leuluai
5 O'Hara
6 Hasler
7 Sterling
8 Greenhill
9 Swain
10 O'meley
11 McMenemy
12 Kearney
13 Smith

14 Ah Khoi/Mackey
15 Manu
16 Fitzgibbon (prop)
17 Grimaldi

Good side that!!
