I'm bored of the same old, same old, so if cars were a rugby team, here's The Allstars:

1: Range Rover Sport
2: ?
3: Porsche Cayenne Turbo
4: Hummer
5: ?
6: AMG E63
7: BMW M5
8: Audi RS6

9: Focus RS
10: Mitsubishi Evo
11: Koeniggseg
12: Aston Martin DBS
13: Ferrari 458
14: Lamborgini Murchellago
15: Bugatti Veyron

So:
Is this the best team possible?
Who would go in at 2 and 5?
What would the 'Classic' team look like? (F40, Countach, Lotus Carlton etc)
What would national teams look like?

A bugatti veyron is to fat and heavy for a 15, should be something like an aerial atom

The Atom is a bit skinny though. Not sure it would be good under a high ball, or capable of a strong tackle.

A scooby on the wing? Nah, it wouldn't have the pace. Maybe replace the Ford at 9?

I was thinking about agility also. May not have total pace but is more agile?

Put the Focus RS at 11 and how about A Seat Leon cupra R at 9?

Welky, it's not lost on me that you're waiting for me to bite back. I was at Twickers, I had great tickets, it was a great game but it was a hard game to watch for an Aussie, I digress, Ungland played very well. We were out-muscled at the breakdown and pushed off with counter rucking at least three times (just shouldn't happen). I thought Flood had an awesome game, Mark Cueto was so scary with ball in hand.
Mike Tindall was Australia's second best player, why MJ insists on putting a prop in the back line is a complete mystery. Sack that fat, old, slow and skill-less dolt.
Australia need to wake up, we can't play an international test without a scrum or a kicker. We lost 12 points by not nailing penalty kicks, woeful. Our scrummages look like they'd put their legs on backwards in the Wales game and we were very lucky you get to turn us inside out at the scrum, pitiful and weak.
Well played, we were out-gunned and Ungland were very cohesive and brilliant with support play, I doth thy off.

Now, my car team:

1: Audi Q7 V12TDi
2: The original Hummer military spec
3: VW ToeRag V10TDi
4: Bowler Wildcat
5: BMW X6M

6: CLS63 AMG
7: BMW M5
8: Audi RS6

9: Atom V8

10: 998 GT3
11: AMG SLS
12: Porsche Carrera GT
13: Ferrari 458
14: Ferrari 599 GTB
15: Kurtley Beale

Done.

Or Christian Cullen at fifteen, he has to be THE best attacking full-back the world has ever seen. Who else could run it from their own try line and swerve around the whole opposing team?
