To think about one third of that team will be playing on the pitch in a couple of weeks in Dublin . Belter of a match.
The lack of Southern Hemisphere players in this squad shows how SA, Aus, NZ and Argentina are all very underrated and I think one of these teams will win the cup
Yeah the bias in some of these selections are laughable.
@@lazy_explorer I wouldn't say it's bias it's going on current form as they said and Ireland and France are both ranked 1 and 2 in the world hard to argue there hard to argue with the autumn tests ether and the North just playing 6 nations. It will change again after the world Cup am frm the North and for years it's been full of southern hemisphere players and thts coz they have been better for manny years and u can't argue u with tht but right now for the 1st time ever I think the North is stronger but will it last I don't know.
I think South Africa teams playing over here in the untied champions leauge and in the European Cup has also helped make the North stronger playing against the top South African players. I also think thts a good think coz it's gave fiji dura and moans pisific a great chance to improve . I can't get over how well Fijian drua are doing and the home support they have . Only the 2nd year running and they have arguably beaten the best rugby team in history in the crusaders at home. For me thts the rugby story of the year.
@@lazy_explorer
It doesn't matter who they pick they ain't the SA, NZ, AUS or Argentina that team will never play anyone.
Or it's northern hemisphere people picking 😡
good predictions ahead of semis
Etzebeth is injured, Ryan had a better year than Rettalick.
Retallick is on fire atm. How about that hurricanes game??
@@harveysowerbutts3414 Should have retired years ago
Ryan is way beyond Retallick now, who's a shadow of his former self.
Good man Goodie! See ya in Coppers!
Imagine that backline playing together, holy moses they'd literally be unstoppable
I think that's the point of a world 15
@@louisscott6214 not everyone would pick the same players but I like the look of this one
If Tadhg Beirne was fit he'd be a fair shout also
Best prop ever. Ever.
@@MACCA0405 😂😂
Danty at 12 I think
JVF
Won best player , then adds a slam and still not in team ??
What kind of world are we living in, where the 2 greatest rugby nations ever, are underrated. When South Africa and New Zealand meet in the final this year, maybe then they’ll actually realise what rugby is. Because apparently Europe needs to be reminded every year.
SA and NZ simply cannot meet in the final. You understood how draws work?
@@foxyboiiyt3332 Yes they can. If SA and NZ both top their groups, they can meet in the final. SA would play France in the quarters, and NZ play Ireland. Then based on the likely outcomes it would be SA vs Wales or Australia in the semis, and NZ against England again. Do you understand how the draw works
But Ireland beat both I don't understand your logic...
@@Irish780 I can’t wait for you to get your reminder. Ireland were very lucky to win the series against NZ, a red card in the second test in the cost NZ the win, and then in the third test Ireland should have gotten a red because they literally did the same thing. In the last 2 years of the six nations Ireland have played multiple teams who got red cards. In any case the 6 nations means nothing, because England, Italy, Wales and Scotland are all terrible.
A ridiculous amount of injuries cost South Africa last year against Ireland and France (not to mention poor officiating), but nobody seems to acknowledge that. Get ready for your lesson in rugby my friend.
@@jameswyatt4443 Jesus no south africa put out there best team against Ireland and lost sorry for your troubles 😂
Mighty south Africa being slept on, the moghty all blacks being slept on, Australia will shock some, and Argentina will be strong
Very enjoyable, lighthearted repartee.
Nice! ABs are coming into this RWC as VERY UNDERESTIMATED....at least our best AB is on the list....not even a sniff in da Backline 😊😊 .... their not going to believe the STORM that's going to hit RWC2023.
Good hindsight !!
Malcolm Marx best forward in the world when he is on it.
yep totally agree, when.
@@Mojo16011973 he is gonna turn it on at RWC
Not better than Dan Sheehan though
@@dairet1945 on overall form right now maybe not but if you ask who is the better hooker at their best it is Marx without a doubt.
Perhaps but it's based on this year so far and Dan Sheehan is just on fire this year as is Marchand. Marx will be playing in the rugny championship soon so we will get a better idea then where his form for 2023 is.
to pick this team they should announce which playing style they are going for EG big and power and flair etc! that would be biggest influence
Fact of the matter is nz is happy ro be underdogs this world cup, pressure is off they have a fantastic squad , i didnt rate them a chance of winning last year , but this year there serious contenters .
that back row is wicked !
So many difficult choices across every position...
And then there's the number 9 shirt. 🤣 Man, Dupont really is something else.
Also, the sheer number of French player in that top XV is crazy! I don't disagree, but damn. These guys are good, at the moment.
1. Baille
2. Sheehan
3. Furlong
4. Etzebeth
5. Flament
6. Doris
7. Van Der Flier
8. Savea
9. Dupont
10. Sexton
11. Jordan
12. Danty
13. Am
14. Penaud
15. Ramos
Doris not over du toit, Flament is not playing rugby on the level of Scott Barrett. Jordie not being your number 12 is crazy, he’s revolutionised the ABs ever since moving there. Am definitely not at 13, I would prefer fickou or ringrose over Am. Sheehan isn’t better than Marx
Russell & McKenzie are above Sexton right now and I'm saying that as an Irish person. It is what it is.
I think you need glasses sexton played out of his skin at 37
@@Irish780 Did he though? He gets an armchair ride behind that pack and hardly every gets any try assists or tries. I know that's not necessarily his game but surely your ten should offer some attacking threat and not just kick penalties or kick from hand etc. He offers almost no running threat.
I think if Sexton plays for any other side he isn't even in the conversation. It's just because he plays for the best side in the world. Russell or Ntamack would improve Irelands backline and offer a much greater running threat.
CURRENT FORM
Ryan, Danty & Lowe in
Eben, Botia & Kolbe out
Hahahahah 😂
Eben out he says. Hilarious.
if any of us on here were to choose our World XVs there would be some form of bias.
So I personally take these with a pinch of salt & see it for what it is....just 2 rugby guys talking.
I'm a South African but these guys talking down the ABs is going to look silly come RWC playoff stage.
Great team. You could easily name an entirely different XV and it would also be superb just because there is so much talent out there at the moment.
Nobody asked but my team would have been: Baille, Sheehan, Malherbe, Etzebeth, Ryan, Ollivon, Van de Flier, Savea, Dupont, Russell, Penaud, Esterhuizen, Ioane, Capuozzo, Ramos.
I'd go, for the backs at least: Dupont, Mo'unga, Kolbe, Ringrose, Ioane, Zammit, Beauden. Three play-makers and they all have the gas to absolutely annihilate anyone.
No Josh Van Der Flier?
He was sensational in Six Nations too
James Ryan... I mean sorry but ffs lads also picking a lad that's injured and not played regardless I don't get because if you are going to do that how do you leave out Furlong who is by a country mile the best front rower in the world for how many years?
@@joelyons886Malherbe is better
@@KickingTeeRugby Frans is a quality player for sure but Furlong is better head to head against Malherbe who's the better record or come out on top...
You blokes need to watch more super rugby pacific. There's players in nz that you've never heard of that would really test the lot you've said. The talent is in nz but it's not organized on field at international level when it comes time to perform. Individual talent is very high though
Josh Vdf has to be there. No questions asked.
Best back row player ever.
@@MACCA0405 he's unbelievable. The problem with this is they don't want to put too many Irish players in for some reason. If that Irish team was called the All Blacks they'd all be creaming themselves
The duel between him and Ollivon is tight. Both are complete and flawless.
Dan Sheehan & Tadhg Furlong are just too good to leave out. Porter has actually been better than Baille too. JVDF, Doris, Sexton, Ringrose & Keenan all in for sure. And if he didn’t get injured during the 6 nations I’d have Tadhg Beirne in the team. On form he is currently in the top 3 second rows in world rugby. Just pick the whole irish team sure why not! 😂
HAHAHA no need to say where you're from, little green cheerleader
TF had a poor six nations .. only back from injury I’d say was the reason
@@mahasamatman12 Had to make sure you people at the back heard it. 🇮🇪💪🏻
Personally I think best just pick the Irish 23 clearly the best players in the world in all positions. Always have been really.
@@harryocallaghan8082 good luck making the semi’s this year…
man the french props got domimated by the Saffas at the end of year tour mate.
It's based on current form January onwards they explained that and it's on their fun based team it's jot possible to pick a team of the year without criticism.
@@ciaranbrk if that was the case explain how Ireland destroyed France and won a GS yet there are only 2 in the pack? And leaving out JVDF is about as ridiculous as it gets.
@@joelyons886 Wait, there's only one game and two nations in the 6 nations tournament? And there's no game played outside that?
Shit, I didn't know.
@@DeMerdeEncule eh tell me who has beat Ireland in the past 2 years? you'll find that's a wee bit bigger than your window mate then tell me ANY team that can match that and come back and tell me, 🙄
And we played with 14 man for 20 mins .

Interesting watching this on 4th August 2023 & seeing some of these players now out of contention.
Can't believe Jim was gonna pick Brodie and fatty thinks botia has been playing 12 recently 😮
Look at your profile picture my boy 😅
No specialist back-row jumper picked!
Olivin jumps allot
Kolbe ? I guess he doesn't watch Toulon's games...
🤣🤣🤣 spot on!
You guys must wait for the southern hemisphere rugby season to begin. Let the real men of rugby show their worth.
I think you’ll find your “real men” from SH lost more than they won against NH opponents in the Autumn International series.
@@Tellemore if happens every year and every wc SH takes the cup! You take the Autumn series and well take the world cup!
😂
Super Rugby is entertaning for sure. Great attack, but leaky defense.
@@Tellemore haha the North is so cocksure one of them are going to win the world cup. Underestimate the Springboks and All blacks at your peril....
fickou and danty not even getting a mention let alone a pick is criminal, fickou is currently the best center in the world
Finn Russel for 10. All day everyday. 🇿🇦
Not a single Englishman, sometimes the truth hurts
Not even a single one mentioned in a discussion
Pretty sure you could have 4 different XVs and none would make it. Overrated.
Jack Willis would deserve it. Amazing player!
Doris a better 8 than Savea. Savea is on my bench.
Doris is much better than Savea. Much.
Before watching they’re probably trying to get Farrell and Genge in.
Genge isn't worth his place in the England starting XV
@@powerbite92 He’s definitely not as good as he thinks he is.
Mateo Carreras has to be in there
Copper face jacks 😂😂😂😂
Jim was never in the top 5 in the world in his position. 😂😂😂
Malcolm Marx has been and still is the best hooker in World Rugby.
He is a shoe in.
Don't let the Sprigbok "Bomb Squad" setup fool you.
He is the best, and has been, and continues to be.
The two best 10 are french : Ntamack and Jalibert
McKenzie >
Coppers!!!🎉😅
Only 1 All Black
😢😢
Can't do Jonny at 10 because he's out for at least 12 weeks😂
What no Itoje! 😂

Jordan is the best winger in the world, it’s absolutely criminal to leave him out
@@rileyfreeman9726 I agree 100% just remember I posted this two weeks ago
Sexton wouldn't even be in the conversation for the best fly half if he played for any other team. It's just easy to look good behind Ireland's dominant pack. Sure he is a good kicking ten, but he has almost no creativity and rarely scores or assists tries. Ireland score the bulk of their tries through their forwards. Imagine how good Ireland could be if they had Russell or Ntamack at ten- players who can actually get a backline going and will score and assist tries. Instead of Sexton just kicking to the corner or doing the wraparound for the ten thousandth time in his career.
How the weather in Munster 😂
we shall see come September who is the best team in the world s stop trying to scud the Irish and lets wait and see
When Sam Simmonds was European player of the year You lot didnt even pick him in an England 15 , So why should the World Player of the year be in a World 15. Just shows how little you actually know . Yes you played the game at the highest level But sometimes, you can be too close to the coal face
A second team would beat that team.
Deluded 😂
Two Irish v 4 French forwards Jim? Right…and you were against Sexton, Ringrose and Keenan. Wa#kah
Who cares, they’re out at the quarters
Do a World XV now and it's made up of All Blacks and Springboks😂😂😂
james you wouldnt pick your nose
No Marx? Gtf outta here 😂
In what world is Flament better than James Ryan 💀
Jim I love you, but you need to leave this idea of Finn behind… head up champ
Nonsense. He's the best 10 to have in an exciting World 15. Maybe if it's a boring grind-out-the-win-on-a-rainy-tuesday sort of team then Sexton takes the cake but that's not what this is. Behind that pack Finn is the better choice.
@@alasdairduncan3 he’s great if you don’t want to win a game or a trophy or if you don’t want any consistency of preformance. But he has some pretty offloads
@Alasdair Duncan Leinster well known for just grinding out wins😂
@@HC-uf4tv you dont have a clue hahaha
@@aurionthelad7485 your right mate the man who has literally won nothing is the better
Crap picks mate - not even luke warm
Marx????
Doris isn't even the best 6 in Ireland let alone innthe world
Very biased and one eyed
“What, no Englishmen?” 😂
Jim you were part of the worse generation of Scottish rugby. You not even a mabye 😂😂
Why is the face red?
I hope Ireland can win the RWC in October. It's about time for a Northern Hemisphere team to win it all.
