Wouldn't mind seeing that team play a Premiership select...

How many regular season games did Brian O'Driscoll actually play in last year?

Is the team about who is the best players or who played best in the league?

looking at the stats on the magners league site it would appear the BOD played in 8 games last season which is more than half the possible games he could of played in if exclude the games missed due to international call up

and rather surprisingly it is his joint highest total since the magners league began.

Whatever the reason, he still played less than 1/2 the games in the League! Also his ML performances in general were in general not that great, as most Leinster fans would agree with.

I wonder how many games BOD actually played outside Ireland in the ML last year?

Firstly, well done Al for being named as ML Dream Team Captain and John Barclay (and Parks) for also making it into the team.

Disco - to see this dream team take on a premiership select would be interesting and a crowd puller, but there's already too much rugby for these top guys to play.

The amount of rugby is a factor but perhaps every four years it could be done? I'd suggest about six months before the Lions tour to get some debate/exposure going on. I would most certainly buy a ticket!

How did Paterson get the Golden Boot award - surely Parks should've got that?
Good to see the team recognised for what was a great campaign.
