World XV - With a twist

Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher recently did one of the mind-numbingly boring Coronavirus sports interviews. One thing that did come out was a World XI devised from players that never played for the same club or country. It's harder to do in rugby terms but it did get me thinking about a XV made up of the top 15 sides in the world. Not the most riveting thing in the world but something to do to whittle away the Covid hours.

Here's my stab at it:

1. Nariashvili (Georgia)
2. Bigi (Italy)
3. Sinckler (England)
4. Jones (Wales)
5. Ryan (Ireland)
6. Matera (Argentina)
7. Du Toit (South Africa)
8. Hooper (Australia)
9. Fotu'Ali (Samoa)
10. Barratt (New Zealand)
11. Matsushima (Japan)
12. Ntamack (France)
13. Radradra (Fiji)
14. Veainu (Tonga)
15. Hogg (Scotland)

1.Mikheil Nariashvili (Georgia)
2.German Kessler (Uruguay)
3.Tadhg Furlong (Ireland)
4.Tyler Ardron (Canada)
5.Guido Petti (Argentina)
6.Jake Polledri (Italy)
7.Hamish Watson (Scotland)
8.Toby Faletau (Wales)

9.Yutaka Nagara (Japan)
10.Beaudan Barrett (New Zealand)

11.Semi Radrada (Fiji)
12.Romain Ntamack (France)
13.Manu Tuilagi (England)
14.Cheslin Kolbe (South Africa)
15.Telusa Veainu (Tonga)

For those that haven't guessed I've predominantly picked a side to play running rugby....
