EXV: Proposed Best XVs and Predictions

[Nige]

Okay, so this is a bit of an idea based off a comment JB made, an idea I had and also something Zip has done in the past.

What we'd like to do hear is to get all 14 best XVs posted here if possible. If a coach doesn't post their best XV, we'll go through their team list and roughly put together what we reckon their best XV would be.

From there we'll use the 2014 averages of the players in the XVs to get a team score (like the weekly ones) and maybe form a ladder out of it to see how much has changed in the offseason so far and if any teams have gone up or down since with trading.

People can also post their predictions if they like.

I think it will be a good idea to revisit this thread after the rookie draft too in case that changes anything.

Hopefully this generates some good discussion and banter.

Go for it!  8)

Hungary a few years away, but hoping for finals.
