Wallaby Team of the Decade

To celebrate 10 years of professional rugby union, Australian Rugby celebrated the occasion with the announcement in 2005 of the Wallaby Team of the Decade. A Judging panel of 30 journalists and commentators voted on a starting XV and a bench, with 6 players (in italics below) being unanimous selections, the rest being selected in their respective positions.

The only five Australian players to have won 2 Rugby World Cups (1991 & 1999) have all been selected: Phil Kearns, John Eales, Tim Horan, Jason Little and Dan Crowley.

As of August 2015, George Smith is the only player still active.

gollark: Hmm, that seems like a more sensible way to do it than my check-every-10-minutes idea, actually.

gollark: Oh, that's okay then.

gollark: Running an individual process for all of them sounds really inefficient.

gollark: I would just have a process check the database for 4-hour-old ones every 10 minutes or something.

gollark: Isn't that a problem?
