Matt's selection for the Best Ever Wallaby Team

Like all selectors I have a bias of some degree so I make no apologies for the following decision. In nominating my team I have drawn only from those players I have seen play over the years. Therefore I have not considered the great Ken Catchpole or Cyril Towers, or Mark Loane or Paul McLean. I have also looked for consistency, those players who have put in over an extensive period of time. And of course it will be controversial, as these things always will be, but I think you would agree this team would be a tremendous outfit that could challenge the best of the World on any given day:

Matt Bourke David Campese Ben Tune Jason Little Tim Horan Mark Ella Nick Farr-Jones (Captain) Tim Gavin Simon Poidevin George Smith John Eales Steve Cutler Tony Daly Phil Kearns Richard Harry

Reserves: Tom Lawton, Justin Harrison, Peter FitzSimons, Michael Lynagh, Willie Ofenhenague, Roger Gould, George Gregan
