Carter 10 Beaudy 15 Smith 14

Fofana's career was such a waste. Probably the most talented player in the poll but didn't deliver consistently enough.

Smith is in my all time team at 6

but

you can't include him this decade, that's stupid. He tore his achiles early in 2011, and didn't play another test until 2014. And even then he wasn't the Smith of around 2007.

Even Burger's best work was very early in the decade, he missed basically all of 12 and 13, and retired after 15.

Lets be honest, even if you remove the GOAT from the poll Ardie shouldn't get the 7 jersey.

@booboo well 1 person voted for MIls, and wasnt me despite nominating him...

Ardie Savea was meant to be on this poll

If you want to vote for Savea ahead of McCaw post in here and I'll count it

I'll also point and laugh at your stupid vote

Prime Savea was a beast but man what a drop in form in the latter half of the decade. Here's hoping Rieko can get back to his best to buck the trend of wings falling off cliffs in form.

Would've loved to have seen a fit Kahui play centre post Conrad too.

@No-Quarter said in AB Team of the Decade - Loosehead:

@Duluth not that I care about props but are you missing tighthead for AB team of the decade?

Yes.. and number 8

Only one player nominated

In that other thread we decided Habana should be a left

However other teams of the decade had him as a right wing. He seemed to play a lot of both. Plus the right wing options were thin

seriously, what the fuck is Scott Barrett doing here?

@Machpants said in TOTD Nominations - Right Wing:

As I said (on the left wing thread), wings should be lumped together like locks

No

@sparky yeah 'keep calm Piri's on' - he injured himself in the final warm up. You can see it on the disk I have. Then he really struggled to kick, which took a bit of the shine of his tournament. However he was instumental to our wins outside of that playing a France style 9/10 hybrid

I've always like watching Campagnaro.

It pains me but Jonny May. Stockdale probably worth a shout too.

@sparky said in TOTD Nominations - First Five:

Because he put over that kick. The Beaver.

Five games off the bench and three others whrtr he didn't get on ... But I'll second this nomination 🙂

@booboo said in TOTD Nominations - Blindside:

Jerome Kaino

This, along with McCaw and Nonu is another one which should only have one nomination.

Brad Thorn

Maro Itoje

Andrew Hore

Dylan Hartley
