The Telegraph doing it's "100 Best Rugby Players" list pre RWC. It's an absolute hoot with Tawera Kerr-Barlow at no. 33 ahead of Faf De Klerk and Mark Telea at no. 91 and 92 respectively.

Danty a doubt for France against NZ opener.

One of theirs for one of ours Danty - Lomax. Danty would be a big loss for them though. They would be giving away serious bulk in the midfield.

@Daffy-Jaffy ARN are great for doing this every Cup to rub it into the faces of the NH tossers
@Machpants Their reasons are not that though. They do it to show how home grown the American teams are in comparison to other nations. They were also very much against the latest WR eligibility rule change that allowed players to change to the country of their or their (grand)parent's birth, because in their view that gives too much advantage to the Pacific Nations.

@Stargazer Yeah I realise, my wording was wrong. I love pointing this out to the 'poachers' callers from NH. NZ is the most poached, and if you include country produced, it is even higher
