      Surname First Name Country Pros Cons
      BARRETT Jordan NZL strong on the carry; zen with the boot; very good all year; came of age this season; rock solid especially under the high ball Red v Aus; France game
      HOGG Stuart SCO broke Scottish try scoring record; dangerous with ball in hand; great in 6N played some average games
      KELLAWAY Andrew AUS barely put a foot wrong; very important to Wallaby back three; Not Tom Banks

        Andrew Kellaway. Switched there when Hodge imploded, and barely put a foot wrong in defence or attack. Very important to Wallaby back 3 moving forward, and most vital in that he gives me ammunition to tell Brumbies fans to shut the fuck up about that fuckstick, Tom Wright.

          Jordie, was strong on the carry and zen with the boot. Very good all year.

            Jordie for me

            Came of age this season and was rock solid at 15-esp under the high ball.

              Jordie Barrett for me aswell. He had a rock solid season despite the kick to face against Aus & the French game.

                Stuart Hogg. Broke the record for tries for a Scottish player, always dangerous.

                  I have been tempted to name Jordie but his disastrous game against France works against him. So I'd go with Hogg.

                    Why Hogg? Will note the points re Jordie

                      I'd go with Jordie, I thought he generally was pretty sound at the back. I enjoyed Hoggs games but thought he played a few average games too. Really don't think there a hell of a lot in it.

                        Hogg is always dangerous with ball in hand. Great performances in the 6N.

                          I read a Scotland team of the century online recently and he made it ahead of Gavin Hastings and Andy Irvine. To be fair that’s a tough pick as all were outstanding in their day, sadly they can’t say the same for Wingers though, Tony Stanger got the nod at 14 !

                            On the back of THAT “try” in 1990. He did fuck all else. Couldn’t even ground that one.

                              He was a pretty solid player but not much else overall, pretty big for his day but lacked a bit of pace and aggression. He did actually score a very good close range try vs the ABs ( about 3 minutes into this vid ) though.

                                Well that's a clear case of recency bias.

                                  Yeah the old man told me Irvine was good and I remember Hastings vividly. Could legitimately make a claim for best Scottish player ever. His brother ( not as good ) made the team at centre though !
