Os picks his Best XV
Os du Randt is arguably the best loosehead South Africa has ever produced. He played his first Test in 1994 and has been around for 12 seasons. Os selects the best XV from the international stars he has played against during his long international career. As you will see the New Zealanders have made the biggest impression.
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.
