All time best Wallabies XV

1. Tony Daly

We start off with Tony Daly who was a World Cup winner with the Wallabies in 1991. Australia’s scrum in the 90’s was a force to be reckoned with and Daly was one of their most impressive Loosehead Props in the last 20 years.

2. Phil Kearns

Stephen Moore has had a fine career for the Wallabies but Kearns is picked ahead of him as we select another member of the front row who started the 1991 World Cup final. Kearns was not all about scrums and lineouts, he was also a fine ball carrier and we saw plenty of that in his 65 appearances for the Wallabies

3.Ewen McKenzie

The former Australia coach had an excellent winning percentage for the Wallabies in his half century of games and his power in the scrum was key to Australia’s World Cup win in 1991.

4. John Eales

Will we ever see a side with their second-row as their goalkicker i highly doubt it. Eales will go down as one of the greatest Rugby players Australia has ever seen. He was a fantastic leader on the field and ended his career with two World Cup winners medals.

5. Nathan Sharpe

Nathan Sharpe partners John Eales in the second row after ending his career with 116 appearances for the Wallabies. He was also a great leader on the field which included 10 appearances as captain.

6. Rocky Elsom

Australia have had some fantastic World Cup winning flankers but in the end they can not compete with the magnificent Elsom. Elsom went on to make 75 appearances for the Wallabies which included a hat-trick of tries in his World Cup debut against Japan in 2007.

7. George Smith

Was Eligible for this year's World Cup but in the end was not selected, but that should take away from a fantastic International career George Smith had for the Wallabies. He played in 111 games but in the end will finish his career without a World Cup medal.

8. Toatai Kefu

Kefu was a big game player and always gave it is all for the Wallabies and will be remembered for his last-minute try against New Zealand in 2001 which secured the Tri-Nations championship for the Wallabies.

9. George Gregan

One of the most talented scrum-halfs in the last 20 years, Gregan racked up 139 appearances in a Wallabies jersey. He Started in the World Cup final in 1999 and so nearly won a second World Cup in 2003 but we all know how that ended.

10. Stephen Larkham

The current Australia backs coach takes up his role at 10 ahead of Michael Lynagh. Despite a career that was at times plagued by injuries, Larkham played in 102 tests for the Wallabies winning the World Cup in 1999 which included an important drop-goal against the Springboks in the semis.

11.David Campese

64 tries in 101 appearances says it all about Campese’s career for the Wallabies. Lote Tuquiri was another player with a fantastic try record for the Wallabies but Campese’s World Cup medal in 1991 gives him the nod.

12. Tim Horan

One of the best 12’s to have played the beautiful game finishing his career with two World Cup winners medals. Horan had it all troubling defenders with his pace and trickery and also his power in defence.

13. Stirling Mortlock

Despite playing a lot of games on the wing for the Wallabies, there was no way we were going to leave Mortlock out of the side. Will be best remembered for his intercept try against New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final in 2003 and he also captained the side in 29 of his 80 appearances for the Wallabies.

14. Adam Ashley-Cooper

Names like Joe Roff and Ben Tune come to mind but we are giving the number 14 jersey to mr. Versatile, Adam Ashley-Cooper. Ashley-Cooper’s ability to play nearly everywhere across the backline has made him one of the most important players for the Wallabies in the last 10 years and he will look to end his Wallabies career with a World Cup winners medal on Saturday.

15. Chris Latham

Chris Latham takes his position after a very successful career with the Wallabies. Making his debut in 1998, Latham went on to play 78 games for the Wallabies scoring 40 tries before retiring in 2007.
