I see you have left out Naas & Darius Botha and am really surprised that you do not realise that there were 3 du Plessis brothers:
Willie, Carel & Michael.

Neil Boobyer Welsh centre late 90′s ,Ian Boobyer his twin a flanker for Llanelli and others never capped but a right pain in the a**e to play against instrumental in getting Dallagio yellow carded in a Heineken game once and their other brother Roddy also handy in the centre .

It may be a leap of faith to put Mauro Bergamasco at scrum half but to put his brother Mirco, a centre/wing, in Mauro’s position at openside is just rubbing salt in the poor chap’s wounds. Graeme Bachop would be a good alternative at 9 with brother Stephen covering 10 allowing Mauro to slot back in at 7.

Also any Scot (I’m not one) would probably want to see the Calder brothers in there. Jim scored their Grand Slam-winning try in 1984 and Finlay captained the Lions in 1989 and played in the 1990 Grand Slam-winning team.

The Brew brothers Aled who just played in the Sevens World cup and is on loan to the Dragons from Pontypridd and Nathan who I think may be with Bristol now ?Both wingers and with a cap or two each .

A bit of special license to put Derek Quinnell in with his lads but I’d like to see them all on the same field so I’ll go for it. In fact it’s easier if you include sons and dads as well in which case I’d nominate Tom Shanklin and his dad Jim who got 4 caps on the wing for Wales in the 70′s.
