Brits was the only one in the pack i would disagree with. But no Carter is a sin man. What a player. Can anyone think of any flyhalf that had it all like he did. Fast; break lines; great at tackling; offloading was insane and offcourse control of game with his kicking game. Oh and not to mention he is the highest test points scorer of all time. Otherwise apart of Care😅 very good selections.
Nonu I get as he didn't really come into his own at 12 until post 2007 when Evans had run off to England, but Larkham ahead of Carter? Maybe there's still a bitterness that he was never able to supplant him at 10 :D
One of my favourite rugby games was pulling Carter off who had been punishing England - with England breathing a tangible sigh of relief - only to have Nick come on and continue to decimate them.
My top 10s :- Carter, Evans, Larkham, Wilkinson, yes I remember that game, I remember the commentator saying Evans can't get a start in this team, he would be shoo in, in any other country
Jip good old Os du randt shits and giggles Burger and spies how can spies not be there along side the enforcer and instigator 😂😂😂😂😂 Burger need to be in that team and captain John Smith. Better solution just make is a all bok team save everyone time because 2007 team was incredibly
Its a nightmare because I would want Wilkinson but Carter was faster. Larkham was a NIGHTMARE for Ozzy-hating pomms and would beat Carter's Tolouse with this team of pacey nutters.
All Blackd 2011 to 2015 best ever dropped 3 games between 2010 - 2019 (pre semi final 2019). Put into perspective the greatest ever Bok team lost plenty b/w 2019 and 2023 and already lost 2 first year after 2023 final
Yeah we understand that but the Boks have only been to 8 rwc’s winning 4, whereas we (AB’s) have been to ten and only won 3. Let’s give the Boks their rightful flowers. ✌️
Theres only one player you can consider over DC as the GOAT of Rugby. And thats Richie McCaw. How DC isn't an automatic in All-time teams is beyond me. Carters worst game would be other's best.
Larkham was world class but he wasn't as good as Carter. Also if he put Larkham in why not put in T.Horan who was head and shoulders the best 12 in his time. Fourie was good but I think . Yannick Jauzion was better. As was Conrad smith and Brian o Driscoll.
I like the shout out, Tim Horan ranks as one of my favorite 12s, he would have been retired before Evan's time though. Evans is around 2004-2008 in NZ then harlequinns.
Best team of all time: 1.Os du rant 2.Keven Mealamu 3.Carl Hayman 4.Victor Matfield 5.Sam Whitelock 6.Sir Michael Jones 7.Ardie Savea 8.Jerome Kaino 9.Joost Van der westhuizen 10.Dan Carter 11.Jonah Lomu 12.Ma'a Nonu 13.Brian Lima 14.Rupeni Caucaunibuca 15.Christian Cullen
R u joking No Richie Mcaw and Brian O'Driscoll is outrageous, PSTD Mcaw Sergio Parisse in 6,7,8. Arron smith and DuPont way better than Joost, Also no Habana or Campese is outrageous.
No Dan Carter? Bruh come on is he not in the team cos he was the reason Nick left NZ rugby early? 😂😂😂 that feels like a very “hipster team” I mean the amount of great All Blacks not in their is CRAZY and he played in an era where the All Blacks had superstars EVERYWHERE.
15. Cullen 14. Kolbe 13. Brian O’driscoll 12. Tim Horan 11. Lomu 10. Carter 9. Joost 8. Zinzan Brooke 7. McCaw 6. Schalk Burger 5. Matfield 4. John Eales 3. Furlong 2. Sean Fitzpatrick 1. Os du rant
Just an interesting fact Larkham,in his own words, based his game on Henry Honniball. According to me Honniball was better than Larkham. Carter would be my choice. Os is the greatest loosehead of all time. Bismarck du Plessis must be the hooker. Joost van der Westhuizen should be the scrumhalf. Joost and Os inclusion is subject to them playing in Nick's era. Great team though.
What are you taking about? This team is based on who he played with and against. He says in the video he played against Lomu, but it was so late in his career he didn’t put him in. Os was old as well, Bismarck was so young when Nick was still playing Super Rugby, and he never played against Joost.
Heard Tony Brown say something similiar about been inspired by Honnibal. Good that he picked Jaques Fourie at 13. Underated player. Scored almost in every 2nd test he played and thats with carsh ball JDV at inside centre.
No Carter and Nonu feels like some click bait bull $hit. Sorry Nick love you bro, but feels like you’re trying to get a conversation going. McCaw, Carter,Nonu,Cheslin and Habana would be the first 5 to be named for me anyway. 5 🐐’s
Quite an interesting selection. All good players within their own right. Let's face it, as brilliant a player Richie was, he was officiated from a completely different set of rules altogether. He got away with murder.
6:25 great question. Everyone knew where the line was and we also knew Richie was well over the line and the refs favoured him. The biggest blight on him and his era of ABs is the simple fact he knew he was getting unfair advantage but he didn’t check himself. Like a kid whose folks cover for him when he steels from the local shop, it’s still stealing and dishonourable.
This whole comment absolutely reeks of copium! Richie pushed the boundaries as all good loosies should! He knew the game better than anyone else! There was no favouritism in the slightest! If he over stepped he got pinged he got carded! Pretending otherwise is just laughable! If he’d have been from any other country he would never be given the crap he cops from randos online! Christ mate genuinely go cry in a corner you are acting like Richie rooted your mrs on tour
It's players he played against. Brits is seen as one of if not the greatest import player to ever play in premiership so in reality, what the AF are you talking about. Go look at a highlights vid of Brits and and educate yourself. 😅
@@fomofud9479 I thought it was his greatest of all time team. Players he has played with and likes makes more sense. Mate Brits in his prime isn't even a top 5 player in his position for SA.
@dillynlakey6420 well, we'll never know will we. JS should have been a prop from the onset, with Bismark starting and Brits coming on as a super sub. Our results during that period weren't great and Brits would have provided the variation the Boks needed for that era. Instead he was smashing it up in the premiership.
"The team that cannot be named" Never doubt, Nick Evans is a true Harlequin!

Yip. Agree. No Carter , unbelievable really , especially for a kiwi

"Your old"
*says the 37 year old scrum half* 🤣. What an opening line!
Loving the content lads!
Carter, Umaga, Collins should definitely be there
Interesting selection. And what a gentleman to pick his host. In real life, it would have been George "4 more years" Gregan.
Ox Nche. D Coles. T. Furlong
E Etzebeth. P Steph Dutoit
S Burger A Savea. R McCaw
A DuPont
D Carter
M Nonu
J Lomu B Odriscoll. C Kolbe
I Folau
Mauger ahead of Umaga is wild.
50 Test All Black at the time and asks to turn the TV on,Mealamu the legend
As a Falcons fan, I always found it odd Hayman was here.
But we also had Matt Burke at roughly the same time. weird
Jerry Collins was an insane miss out but Jerome Kaino more so. I guess he didn’t play with him much.
The team that shall not be named😂😂 SARACENS!!
W team W opinions from nick evans despite his last podcast where he was downplaying our 2nd team
No Dan Carter is absolutely CRIMINAL :)
Care to Larkham to Mauger to Fourie to Rupeni/Habana and all coached by W.Smith.
That's scary good
Geez that's a power team. greetings from SAFFA land ;-)
As a South African, that's not a bad team at all tbh
charles piutau best import to eng from nz
Did he not play against Bismarck du Plessis at hooker?
Interesting picks... who would be the place kicker..?
I'd have picked Nick Evans over Mills at 15...
I would say Os Du rant would make the front row. Two world cups too.
Jip good old Os du randt shits and giggles Burger and spies how can spies not be there along side the enforcer and instigator 😂😂😂😂😂 Burger need to be in that team and captain John Smith. Better solution just make is a all bok team save everyone time because 2007 team was incredibly
No Carter is criminal!
Who's your place kicker?
Its a nightmare because I would want Wilkinson but Carter was faster. Larkham was a NIGHTMARE for Ozzy-hating pomms and would beat Carter's Tolouse with this team of pacey nutters.
Interesting and good side
Very nice team
Loved the team that Nick put out , bit of a different perspective and so nice to see someone put down something different for a change .
All Blackd 2011 to 2015 best ever dropped 3 games between 2010 - 2019 (pre semi final 2019). Put into perspective the greatest ever Bok team lost plenty b/w 2019 and 2023 and already lost 2 first year after 2023 final

R u joking No Richie Mcaw and Brian O'Driscoll is outrageous, PSTD Mcaw Sergio Parisse in 6,7,8. Arron smith and DuPont way better than Joost, Also no Habana or Campese is outrageous.
Also Eben has surpassed Matfield
On Second thought I would Pick Dwayne Vermulen over Sergio Parisse
How many of those did you play against?
This is honestly one of the best ultimate picks I've seen! Love Larkham at 10 and Mauger at 12
#EnglandBless 🏴 🇬🇧 🏉

Did he get away with a lot? You could put together an hour long "highlight" reel just of Richie McCaw hitting rucks from the side.
In your biased opinion - refs and opposition watched him closely - still hardly penalized - make up your own decision
15. Cullen
14. Kolbe
13. Brian O’driscoll
12. Tim Horan
11. Lomu
10. Carter
9. Joost

6. Schalk Burger
5. Matfield
4. John Eales
3. Furlong
2. Sean Fitzpatrick
1. Os du rant
I actually don't mind the selections of Brits and Larkham but Burger over Juan who was amazing but Aaron Mauger, you smoking crack Nick
I subscribed when I checked three Springboks 🤣
nick no carter whats wrong with u i wouldnt care if u named no kiwis except for him and mcaw.might have to revoke the nz passport mate.lol
Stephen Larkham good shout

@ That’s true. A lot of great players really loved how Honiball played.
Danny Care over Fourie Du Preez haha😂
❤❤
Picks a great team and then leaves out the greatest first 5 of all time 🤦🏽😂 Christ
No Carter and Nonu feels like some click bait bull $hit. Sorry Nick love you bro, but feels like you’re trying to get a conversation going. McCaw, Carter,Nonu,Cheslin and Habana would be the first 5 to be named for me anyway. 5 🐐’s

but he was never charged!!!!
@@robstrickland166 🤣. So much for fair play hey!
Your tripping Nick
Front row is spot on - hatman was way flatter in the scum and way bigger than any Bok front row yet - check it out
😂 chalk over Mealamu wake up mate
No Reade?
not sure they would have ever played together as Reid broke through once nick Evans moved to Quins

average
Your aggressive response and ungentlemanly behavior are inappropriate and derogatory. If you do wish to respond, do it with self-control and respect.
Nick Evans DIDN'T SELECT CARTER CAUSE EVANS IS JEALOUS OF CARTERS' STYLE OF PLAY. AND CARTER WAS BETTER THAN EVANS.
Brits? As a Boks supporter What the Actual Fuck is that choice lol.
It's players he played against. Brits is seen as one of if not the greatest import player to ever play in premiership so in reality, what the AF are you talking about. Go look at a highlights vid of Brits and and educate yourself. 😅

@@fomofud9479 you have a point, but thanks for clearing my misunderstanding. Have a good one bro, and good luck to our boys' end of year tour.
His actual playing window in NZ isn't very big, like 2004-2007 in NZ and super rugby then whoever he played at Harlequins for forever after that.
