The 2019 Rugby World Cup is all over, last night’s final between England and South Africa drawing the event to a close.
With all the matches now complete, it’s time to decide on The Roar’s team of the tournament – and as always, we want you to have your say on the matter.
We’ve put together some nominees for each spot in the hypothetical, with at least four options per position. While there are naturally plenty of players from the four semi-finalists, there are also a lot of Japan’s Brave Blossoms in the running after their first-ever quarter-final appearance, as well as a few options from the Wallabies, Ireland, France and Fiji.
And if we’ve missed someone who you think should make the side, then you can add in your own choice, too.
So get your picks in today, and we’ll have The Roar’s Rugby World Cup team of the tournament published early next week.

With all the frothing on the Roar by some posters, it's a wonder Pocock isn't there as the inspirational captain.

No Pieter-Steph du Toit in the options. Rugby World Player of the year with an outstanding tournament.

Are you looking for a D team with all the Aussies.

For me, Michael Leitch would have to be one of the players of the tournament. I don’t know whether it was his rugby smarts or his ability or his leadership on the field, but Japan seemed like genuine world-beaters when he was on and I became anxious for them whenever he was substituted. That’s the quality of captain I feel Australia has lacked for years, even pre-Hooper.
