Loving the die hard call….but surely, Christmas without star wars isn’t Christmas!!!!!!???? I would have Yoda at 9, small, agile, tackles anything and has an amazing ability to spot the tiniest of gaps in any defensive line!!!!

Would John McLain play without boots though? Sorry, watched Die Hard the other day. Amazing film.

Hugh LOL but good shout John Maclain is a shoe in at 6 surely! Talk about putting your body on the line! Makes Moody look like a little girl.

Or you could have Animal or cookie monster from Muppets Christmas Carrol at 6&7??

Why did you pick Jesus at 10? Was Barry John unavailable?

Your selection at 10’s a pretty controversal one, seeing that there’s a whole song about how he can’t play rugby. Tends to wear illegal headgear, for one thing.

If you shift Blitzen to full back, there’s room for any two out of Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present and Ghost of Christmas Future.

Not ones to shy away from confrontation, they can ghost through gaps and play impressive mind games with the oppo.

Donner and Blitzen @ 12 and 13 surely? Perfect telepathic combo with pace and power.

Downside of the reindeers is if they played @ Rosslyn park,or on any field, they might get distracted by the food source under their hooves and deer brothers in the woods.

Santas elf @ 2 is too nice and lightweight for me. Id have Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo from South Park who is from the Mark Regan school of hookers.

im so glad to see Snowman/Waldrom in the side.

You know what’s a Christmas film? Die Hard. Enough said. Let’s see Richie McCaw take HIM on.

Two mentions for Home Alone’s Kevin…maybe he deserves a call up. A bit on the small side for a 7 perhaps, but could make a good 9. There might be a few other contenders from Christmas films actually…

I would have had Kevin McCallister from Home Alone in at 7, his resources to repel men and never fall foul of the law (even when maiming them) are key skills
