[@ethanhay9760]

I like the format, ends up drafting flashy players from the lower ranked teams and some workhorses from the big boys

[@andrewgird9690]

The late great Danie Craven (South African rugby pioneer and legend) once said - "The two most important positions on a rugby team are your tighthead prop and your reserve tighthead prop". So Frans is 100% the correct pick for this video. Well done mate. Great video

[@js_dev_uk]

As a Saracens fan I'm super happy you've put Theo McFarland in. He plays 6 for us a lot too. A proper baller.

[@fin-ed6oj]

Menoncello has just won Six Nations Player of the Tournament, good pick

[@kieranmurphy1613]

Love your no nonsense approach to your videos. All killer, no filler

[@HeidiLandRover]

Nice idea! it's Earth versus the Martians and this team is going to bring the trophy back home 🙂

[@Andrew-fn9xx]

I thought you might do by number like SA 1 and the loose head prop Ire 2 hooker NZ tight head etc... it would be very interesting to see what kinda team comes out

[@MyCousin82]

That'd be an interesting exercise. Then do the inverse and match teams up. Would probably back the Tier I pack with a Tier 2 backline above the opposite.

[@Andrew-fn9xx]

​@@MyCousin82yeah I agree... It would be a really cool thing to watch... The Ba bas are the closest thing we have to it in World rugby

[@9502937]

You said it yourself. Should have gone with Gibson-Park for Ireland and Cyril Baille for France (or just chuck in DuPont despite his hiatus). Other than that, I have no issues with your picks!

[@jacobusjonck2172]

I am happy for the Wallabies to have a player in the world team!

[@njg5942]

Kind of showing off to know all this, bro. Congrats!

Love the Malherbe pick!! He’s my favourite bokke

[@bok500]

And he can braai

[@charlottescott7150]

I love this Mark. Love the way you do it and all your knowledge. Thank you for doing these videos for your fans for when you are away!

[@gdd2959]

This is cool stuff!

[@iamnutty8471]

lifting will skelton at line out is done a bunch by la rochelle!

[@jbmboy]

I did this format on the good the bad and rugby Facebook group first. Very happy to see your take on it!

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Ah wow is that right? Man yeah I did it once before at the end of the 2019 RWC group stage - I can't remember much but I remember my Georgian was a forward 😅

[@jbmboy]

@@TwoCentsRugby I remember the video. Big fan of the content and congrats on the deserved longevity.

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Damn man cheers for sticking around that long 🍻

[@marcschulze6290]

Love this channel...

[@Camcolito]

Hell of a team! Good format.

[@mikescudder4621]

Good team! It would be great if world rugby put something like this together and tour a few countries BUT, of course, the calendar is already full.

[@aluncurtis6124]

Malherbe is appreciated!

[@jimfletcher789]

Great to see lower ranked teams getting a mention

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

Interesting Mark TC ! Enjoy China Pse do a video of your visit, (up close and personal out there) will you⁉️ Thanks kindly 🪖

[@ilmarlatti]

well done young man

[@TheKing129129]

Good idea to build up content like this in advance so you can actually have some time off for travel/holiday/personal stuff whilst still keeping channel going. And the content was still relevant :)

[@Sineadhawk]

Tbf he’s usually very consistent

[@Burninglash]

Your method does yield a really powerful team. I noticed your focus is on attacking. World cups are won on defense. I think you.missing balance as a result

[@thetrickster42]

Really nice format, you get a different list of players than normal. Your Le Garrec pick makes me think a fun team would be the 15 best second choice players at their position.

[@jameswyatt4443]

That would be all South Africa and New Zealand. They have unreal depth.

[@filthymutt6029]

​@@jameswyatt4443Since Roigard is now 1st choice, neither country has a better 2nd choice scrumhalf than le Garrec. In fact, New Zealand's depth in general has taken a big hit from their post-WC exodus. Honestly, I wouldn't pick many springboks for a world 15, but they alone would totally dominate the 2nd best 15 team.

[@jameswyatt4443]

@@filthymutt6029 Reinach is better than le Garrec.

[@filthymutt6029]

@@jameswyatt4443 No, I don't think he is. Le Garrec was more impactful in this year's 6N than Reinach has been for the boks in a long time. If you had to pick one player who was largely responsible for France's turnaround, it was le Garrec. And he's much better for Racing 92 than Reinach has been for Montpellier in a long time.

[@jameswyatt4443]

@@filthymutt6029 Le Garrec wouldn’t even be in the Springbok squad. Hendrikse and Grant Williams are both better. Why does everyone bring up the 6 Nations? Low level comp, is and always has been.

[@RRTNZ]

Good choices, can't argue with most of that, and very glad Tommy Turnover made it in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. I would take James Lowe before Telea and definitely Jaminet at fullback, probably take Etzebeth from the Boks though.....maybe Roigard or MacKenzie from the ABs. Cheers.

[@tommasoc.9450]

Malherbe never makes a step back at the contact, never seen something like that. He and Nche are unique

[@aidandinneen9149]

Do a reverse just to show what would change and then do a head v head analysis

[@Driver2616]

My top international 15 as follows - Keenan, Larmour, Ringrose, Henshaw, Lowe, Byrne R, Gibson Park, Conan, Van der Flier, Doris, Ryan J, McCarthy, Furlong, Sheehan, Porter… There. Easy…

[@carlfischer7940]

That team would never get out of the quarter-finals.

[@chrisdutoit8843]

​@@carlfischer7940..😂 will not even make P1 or P2 in the log

[@daddynoah6210]

The line out would be a massive problem here, only really one option as Skelton to heavy and all 3 of the back row are below 6ft 2

[@Bwk-mj4pm]

Damn. This starting 15 was insane till you got to France 😔

[@winstonwiggill2824]

Interesting way to pick. I liked the outcome, except maybe Gibson Park missing at 9

[@kerrylass2]

Tagdh Furlong tackeled dumped Will Skelton several times today in the LeinstervsLaRochelle match today. Just sayin'...😁😁

[@jasonwall5012]

You mean yesterday.

@@speak_your_truth. Sorry for the confusion...not commenting on the selection but just a humerous(apparently not) response to him saying he(Shelton) is a big lump of a guy and yer probably not gonna want to lift him in a lineout.

Hey mate, you watching the U20 rugby championship coming up?

[@iamnutty8471]

can you do a video to pick 15 of each club league regardless of nationality EG top 14 best players vs just picking french players!

[@Samizouza]

Ideally unique team without all the attention on the top tier teams.

[@antonphelan964]

Why no comments on the champions cup ?

[@iansinclair7581]

All great picks. I like the way you have done this. Enjoy yourself in China.

[@interestedbystander196]

Big Frans is the man! Rugby people know a real one.

[@zworm2]

Like your selection routine. Makes sense. I wouldn't pick Porter, not great technique and gives away too many penalties. He is like marler who thinks it is all brute strength. In the Six Nations there is not much competition in the scrums now. I would pick another prop who is starting to monster up like Malherbe - Fletcher Newell. He is very young and has great technique and dominating power.

[@randyviper388]

Skelton overhyped would be Angus Bell

[@UNCLE401]

It feels like ardies having a holiday

[@Natedawg38]

No review on yesterday bra?

[@29seline]

Think he said he's away in April

[@LloydRobert]

Does this mean because you're away you won't be doing a super rugby video for this week mate?

[@GiantsBeauceronsRugby]

Should do a 2nd team of this, not allowed to pick ones from this team

[@waldobonthuys_za9875]

If we are talking 2024,Frans has barely played.I personally would nominate Arendse,Willemse,Papier or even a Pollard.Fair play tho.

[@jameswyatt4443]

Malherbe is the best tighthead of all time.

[@alexanderhouser4802]

This would be a fun side to see play for the BaaBaa’s 😊

[@letsgo8814]

Dear South Africans Let it go, its not 2027... Yet

[@johnmcdonald-6196]

Hahaha this should be controversial…

Dupont is playing more XV than 7 this year

[@rogerpillay8644]

Peter steph du Toit all day

[@user-kj8lq7mo2s]

Frans Malherbe BUD SPENCER to his team mates.

[@user-tm5hr6co2f]

I thought Angus bell was an easy pick

[@IzingaI]

This was so good. How about next time doing an NZ Super Rugby team of the year but only picking three players from each NZ club?

[@Laurentus]

Only one South African. Shit list (But in all seriousness, thanks for the love. We love Malherbe)

[@ChristopherFawbert]

I would pick 2/3 from each of the top 6/7 countries and best 1/2 from others and then look at the positions covered and where there is no cover, easy choice.. leaving options for the other positions..

[@rossd6809]

This looks like a UN team.?

Having good props is why Ireland couldn't dominate the All Blacks in that quarterfinal 🤣
