Other Sports rugby XV
-
Ilie Nastase (known as Nasty) would be perfect at Hooker.
Agassi, certainly during his mullet toupee/ image is everything phase, would surely be a back.

Football XV
1 Paul Gascoigne - 40,000+ fans singing "Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies? You fat b##tard, you fat b##tard, you ate all the pies." Had a best mate known as Five Bellies. Some great footwork though.
2 Wayne Rooney - Educated in the dark arts by a 55 year old Hooker known as Auld Slapper. Angry man with the looks of Anton Oliver, but without the big words.
3 Benni McCarthy - The South African was dropped from West Ham for being out of shape. He complained in the media that West Ham CEO, Karen Brady, was "the Devil with tits." She replied "at least I'm supposed to have tits".
4 Peter Crouch -Very tall man.
5 Jan Kohler -Another tall man.
6 Patrick Vieira - Shades of Thierry Dussitor. Hard man great footwork. Very big engine.
7 Andoni Goikoetxeal - The Butcher of Bilbao. Filthy git. Bound to be a natural at Openside.
8 Eric Cantona - Like many Number 8s, he enjoys fighting.
9 Diego Maradona -Little man with dazzling footwork, passing and finishing. Now looks like a Prop.
10 Lionel Messi -Wonderful playmaker.
11 Ferenc Pukacs - Left-footed. Great scoring record.
12 Ruud Gullit - Brilliant at finding a gap. Great partnership with Van Basten.
13 Marco Van Basten - Ghosts through defences like Jerry Guscott or Conrad Smith. Great finisher.
14 Christian Ronaldo -Dazzling right foot, quick, strong scoring record.
15 Franz Beckenbauer - Amazing sweeper.

Jaap Stam at lock, Peter Schmeichel at Fullback and Vinnie Jones at blindside.

@sparky Cantona wasted at no8. Should be at 1st 5 or fullback with such a great kick on him.
-
A handy Under 85's team
@ACT-Crusader said in Other Sports rugby XV:
-
Becker - need a bit of bulk up front
-
Agassi - low centre of gravity
-
Borg - both him and a young Agassi going around in the front row with their long hair would be cool
-
Isner - this is a massive locking combo
-
Karlovic
-
Connors - need a bit of edge at 6
-
Hewitt - one of the great pests
-
Ivanisevic - some height for the lineout and big run off the set piece
-
McEnroe - always talking
-
Sampras - safe pair of hands
-
Chang - quickness
-
Roddick - all our attack on first phase
-
Federer - defending or attack he has all bases covered
-
Rafa - more speed
-
Djokovic - no one is better on the last line

No Baggio or Beckham? They were experts at putting it over the bar.

@ACT-Crusader Eric Cantona on the Rugby park would be a cross between Sebastian Chabal and Zinzan Brooke.

Missing some speed in Arjen Robben
-
1- Ford GT: couple of muscleheads with real grunt up front at prop
2- GMC Sierra: a big motor, a real workhorse
3- Dodge Challenger4- Ford F450: huge but still mobile
5- Limo: nickname Stretch6- Jeep Gladiator: can handle on and off the pitch, extra length good lineout option.
7- any Ferrari with the twin-turbo V8: best engine
8- Corvette: speed and style from the base and when ranging wide9- 911 GT2 RS: has a 9 in it...fast, small and nimble around the park
10- RR: it will be rolls royce service from 1st 5
11- Bugatti: real speed
12- Aston Martin DBS: smooth operator
13- BMW M5: reliable, dependable, good all round game
14- Lambo Aventador: more speed
15- Volvo XC60: safe as at the back -
All Blacks in their true position
1 Sonny Bill Williams: played prop for NZ schools.
2 Richie McCaw: missed the opportunity of playing for the All Blacks to in his 40s by not switching to Hooker.
3 Inga Tuigamala: Played Prop in the Wigan-Bath cross-code game in mid -1990s. Looked okay.
4 Jonah Lomu: played Lock for NZ Schools
5 Jordie Barrett: more suitable position for the giraffe.
6 Tana Umaga: Defensive impact could have been deadly at blindside
7 Eric Rush: played Openside at NPC Level
8 Carl Hayman: Obviously
9 Keven Mealamu: Passing was good enough to play Half Back
10 Israel Dagg: Obviously
11 Vaea Fifita: Never happier than running down the wing (or inspecting rucks)
12 Michael Jones: Could have played midfield at International level
13 Ardie Savea: Could have played midfield at Super Level
14 Sean Fitzpatrick: Described in 1993 by Stu Wilson as "the best ring-wing in the country"
15 Zinzan Brooke: Great under the high ball, superb passing and kicking skills too. -

Also you've included, not coincidentally, the two shittest ABs over the weekend in their best positions. I hope they both make the change in time for the World Cup.
I can't find any Jordie lineout highlights but here's some footage of Fifita on the wing.

Victor Vito played wing for the 7s.
Mealamu played as a loose forward once upon a time.
Andy Ellis was a number 8 back in the day.
