World Cup World 15, so far........


Possibly a little early but here's my initial thoughts on who has impressed


15. Percy Montgomery (SA) / Chris Latham (Aus)

14. Brian Habana (SA)

13. Stirling Mortlock (Aus)

12. Tom Shanklin (Wales)

11. Vilimoni Delasau (Fiji)

10. Dan Carter (NZ)

9. Fourie du Preez (SA) / Agustín Pichot (Arg)

8. Finau Maka (Tonga)

7. Richie McCaw (NZ)

6. Jerry Collins (NZ)

5. Victor Matfield (SA)

4. Sebastian Chabal (Fra)

3. Carl Hayman (NZ)

2. John Smit (SA)

1. Os du Randt (SA)


So there's a bit of bias in there, Chabal is probably only in there for his 50 metre solo effort, and whilst Maka isnt the best 8 in the world he has impressed me so far. A lack of All Blacks in the back line is perhaps indicative more of their opponents so far and Shanklin sneaks in as the only home nations player......
