Fantasy Rugby: Countries XV

Diplomacy has been put aside by Alex Cook for this XV. Packs don’t come much mightier than this, although finding a suitable language for line-out calls may prove difficult. Perhaps not the most politically correct XV but where’s the harm in a bit of stereotyping?

Countries XV

1. Russia - big, mean, and cold

2. Holland - low centre of gravity & a hotbed of talented hookers

3. USA - super-sized, imposing powerhouse with a short fuse

4. Tibet - a dominant force in the lineout, composure and temperament to balance out second-row partner

5. North Korea - big guns & won’t take any shit

6. Kenya - wild & will run all day

7. Australia - a thieving nation by origin & will do anything to win

8. Brazil - large but skillful, good footwork

9. Germany - organised & efficient service, but don’t expect a smile

10. Cuba - the general, Latino flair and a master at deceiving and avoiding much larger opposition

11. France - adds a certain I don’t know what

12. China - ambitious, growing in strength with potential to conquer all before him

13. England - organised in defense, and good foil out wide for a powerful pack

14. Greece - a slippery customer

15. Afghanistan - resilient under attack & stealthy penetration behind the opposition line

Interesting that Wales and New Zealand both don’t make the cut…as ever, suggestions are welcome.
