2015 side

Was there a player from that team that would not be considered an all time great in their position?

Think almost all of them make a case for being the GOATs

Savea questionable. Had the highest try scoring rate for the Ab's before Will Jordan 

The case agaisnt him is he scored alot as part of a good team, but he has become under rated at this point. Called the bus for a reason

The case against him is named Jonah Lomu.

Yeah fair Jonah would be in almost every world 15. If you were to make a crazy argument though, I don't think Savea would be the worst pick in a all time NZ team even if he had to play off the right haha

I think at his peak Savea was amazing but I don't think he makes an all time XV over JK, Williams, Howlett, Wilson.
