After a fair amount of research, I’ve whipped up my own personal opinion as to what the 2010/2011 World XV team should be. Who would you pick?

I’ll let my squad do the talking. The props positions are hotly contested, so I thought I’d just throw two of rugby’s biggest boys in!

So, here is my team:

1. Soana Tonga’uiha (TONGA)
2. Keven Mealamu (NEW ZEALAND)
3. Cencus Johnston (SAMOA)
4. Brad Thorn (NEW ZEALAND)
5. Victor Matfield (SOUTH AFRICA)
6. Jerome Kaino (NEW ZEALAND)
7. Richie McCaw (NEW ZEALAND)
8. Pierre Spies (SOUTH AFRICA)
9. Fourie du Preez (SOUTH AFRICA)
10. Dan Carter (NEW ZEALAND)
11. Hosea Gear (NEW ZEALAND)
12. Sonny Bill Williams (NEW ZEALAND)
13. Robbie Fruean (NEW ZEALAND)
14. James O’Connor (AUSTRALIA)
15. Mils Muliaina (NEW ZEALAND)

I know there are a few positions that could go either way with possibly a few changes, but what are your thoughts?
