Stop the press… your all-time World Cup XV was shown.
More than 160,000 people voted on who should make the cutwith mythical New Zealand wing Jonah Lomu proving the candidate.
Lomu is among seven All Blacks at a side which also contains one player each, two Englishmen and three South Africans from Australia, France and Ireland.
However, there is no place for the tournamenthigh points scorer Jonny Wilkinson or fellow England World Cup winner Jason Robinson, with New Zealands Dan Carter carrying the number 10 jersey along with Frances Serge Blanco favored at full-back.
Lomu, Blanco and Ireland centre Brian ODriscoll would be the players to not have won a World Cup, while four New Zealanders are joined by Australias John Eales in winning it two.
There was a garbage for whod begin at tight-head prop, together with New Zealands Owen Franks trimming Welshman Adam Jones to join compatriot Sean Fitzpatrick and also Englands Jason Leonard at front.
There is no shortage of leaders at a forward pack that boasts four World Cup-winning captains at Eales, Englands Martin Johnson South Africas Francois Pienaar and Richie McCaw, who raised the trophy two with New Zealand.
And its a side blessed with try-scoring art using the Bryan Habana scorers on 15 try of South and also Lomu Africa, around the flanks.
Thus, without further ado, here is your all-time World Cup XV…
Martin Johnson: Despite looking for the under-21 side of New Zealand, the lock went on to become the very first, and thus far England captain to lift the Webb Ellis Cup in 2003. Well backed with over 100,000 votes.
Richie McCaw: Among the most well-known collections and the only person to have captained 2 World Cup-winning teams, McCaw is the all-time most-capped player in global Evaluation rugby, having played 148 times for New Zealand and made more tackles, 225, than any other participant in the competition.
Dan Carter: The most powerful fly-half scored 19 points as New Zealand beat Australia at the 2015 closing. Only imagine seeing him outside South Africas Joost van der Westhuizen at the half backs…
Brian ODriscoll: Second to McCaw at the amount of appearances ODriscoll went on 83 times and made his debut for Ireland aged 20 in 1999. The selection, behind Lomu and McCaw.
Jonah Lomu: The joint-top try-scorer at World Cup history, alongside South Africas Bryan Habana. Four of Lomus 15 tries came from England though the wing never won the championship.
