Gregan and Eales for mine.

Round Two
Apologies for the delay; the perils of lunchtime drinking at my age. Anyway, Serge Blanco edges out Gregan by the odd point & Eales joins him in Round Two with a comfortable win. All of which means we now have our sixteen qualifiers for that second round:
David Campese
John Eales
Nick Farr-Jones
Tim Horan
Stephen Larkham
Michael Lynagh
Sean Fitzpatrick
Doug Howlett
Michael Jones
Jonah Lomu
Andrew Mehrtens
Martin Johnson
Jonny Wilkinson
Joost van der Westhuizen
Serge Blanco
Brian O’Driscoll
The draw has, as ever, been made at random & first up are:
Battle 1
Joost van der Westhuizen (South Africa)
vs
Stephen Larkham (Australia)
Battle 2
Michael Jones (New Zealand)
vs
Serge Blanco (France)
South Africa's last remaining standard-bearer, the ever-sniping and thrusting Joost faces the fella who made it all tick for the triumphant Aussies in 1999 & the All-Blacks prince of the back row faces the epitome of Gallic flair.

Ok, well the winner won't be a Saffie or a Frenchman as Larkham & Jones advance. Van der Westhuizen slightly hard done by for mine, but given the voting constituency on here I guess it's not the biggest surprise.
Next:
Battle 3
Sean Fitzpatrick (New Zealand)
vs
Andrew Mehrtens (New Zealand)
Battle 4
John Eales (Australia)
vs
Martin Johnson (England)
Two clashes fitting of the occasion: an all All-Black clash sees the mighty Fitzy go head-to-head with Mehrts & the last two captains to lift the cup meet for the right to be considered the best lock of the last 20 years.
