Hi Alun,

Unfortunately we were after the replica shirt from 1995. What you would have seen on other site was the training shirt. Only a small demand were made.

Hi - really good web site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed working with computers and am attempting to learn computer code in my free time (which there is never enough of lol).

Hi Guys,

Good shout, including players that have played well in club comps this season. Not debating Hayman is not best prop in the world, but hasn’t played Heineken cup even this season so on just League Rugby didn’t get the nod.

Tagicakibau is a fantatic player but Habanna has had a massive year and Corey Jane has scored in some big test matches. Muliana was close as is such a good attacking full back, good choice.

Mark, good pick. Although have to disagree on Steyn, if you look at the year he has had, have to argue he is not a ltd fly half, not all the great fly halfs were the best attackers Andrew Merhtens, (Wilkinson in his pomp) Agree on Mccaw should be in, but wanted to give Brussow a chance as had such an impressive debut season and shows size is not always key.

Cheers
Ben

we al have our preferences but to pick a team of the year, you have to pick across all competitions and all round consistent performaces during the year . for that reason i feel the xv above best represents this , shaw played maybe 4/5 quality games rest were well below par . picking morne steyn is a joke imo, he is so limited as a fly half all he has is a boot and was found out in the northern hemisphere as being a high veldt player/kicker. players unlucky not to be included are mils muliania,richie mccaw, brussow,and benn robinson
