Now this was a hard one, Tallis was an automatic pick for me, outstanding in the secondrow and its a damn shame about that neck injury because he would have ended his career just as strong, still considering he did well to carry on even if his confidence took a beating. Out of the rest it came down to Thorn, Gillmeister and Cann and that was such a hard choice but in the end I believe Thorn deserves the other secondrow spot, this was probably the hardest choice for me as both Gillmeister and Cann had their right to the position as well but I feel Thorn always delivered when he played there.
Tallis as my #1 pick along with most others here, and he's also going to be my choice for the captain of this team.
The other spot was tough to pick, but I went with Gilly JUST shaving out Thorn. In saying that, though, Thorn will be one of my first bench spots picked if he misses out here.
I wasn't ever really a big Tallis fan but he is definately the first picked here. The other one was hard and in the end I went for Alan Cann. Somebody stop him! He'll run out of the stadium!
