Dalziel Rugby Club

Jason Campbell came up with a good idea for a bit of fun. You have to choose your best XV from two categories,

1) Best team you ever played with. In this team you select yourself in your favourite position and then select the other 14 players who, in your opinion were the best you ever played with. You have to have played in the same team as them at some point in your career.

2) Best team to go on tour with. Same as above, pick yourself but this time you can choose anyone from any era that you would want to tour with. The emphasis is more on the "social" side of touring.

Post your teams to this thread. Just for fun.

The only position that the S2s have vacant is water boy.
