The Babbling Brook Dream Team
I'm sure I'd make that team ahead of most of that 15.

Re: Our weakest side?
Let's do a 1-15 of worst contributors to this forum. Hopefully I get to be a back.

I suppose a "best" version could be possible. I'm picturing a front row of Peg Leg (would be great for some old school sledging in the scrums), Dave Cahill (there for leadership more than all round play), and RoboProp (because of his name). Cormac is my French style nine, the brains of the operation. Oldschool would be my eight, not sure if he'd offer anything around the pitch but my God he'd push like a maniac at scrum time. I would have had you pegged as a hardworking centre, but your desire to be a back makes me think you'd be a selfish/flashy fullback. Hugo as a Martin Johnson type figure. Simon would be our Zebo, he brings the X factor.
Johng and Grumpy Old Man as joint team managers.

I take it you don't recall his crusade against Heaslip not pushing in the scrums then?

I think Ronk is still a card carrying member of thr FRU stick him in instead; besides I'm strong but getting Oldschool airborn? I'm not sure I'm able for that! Only codding OS
Dave Cahill is your IC. Crash ball a la Kevin Maggs! He'd probably impale a few on that hair too! Not that for I'm jealous

Re: Our weakest side?
I think Mildlyinterested can be our coach. We'll all get cut at the end of the season for the kids.

Heaslip is, after all, the quintessential No 8.
