Campo pics his best XV
The legendary Wallaby winger, David Campese, chooses his best international XV (excluding South Africans) he has played against in his long and illustrious career. Campese played 101 Tests for Australia from 1982 to 1996 and still holds the world record for most Test tries (64).
It's a little over 36 hours since WRU Chief Executive Steve Lewis ruined most of Britain's Rugby journalists' Valentine's dinners by announcing the departure of Mike Ruddock.

Typically Campese, he opts for former Welsh fly-half Jonathan Davies at inside centre.
“This is the team that I would gladly sit in the grandstands and watch week after week for the rest of my life. It’s a team to entertain, to marvel at, to surprise and thrill you,” he says.
