Our panel of experts, rugby union legends Matthew Burke, Brian O'Driscoll, Simon Poidevin, Andrew Mehrtens and Bob Dwyer, have chosen their ultimate rugby team – now it's your turn. Choose your Gods of Rugby Heaven and, if your picks match our experts', you could win a dream home entertainment package worth more than $10,000.
Game specifics
Pick your ultimate fifteen from a shortlist of 75 players. The players on the list had to be involved in a World Cup - starting from the first competition in 1987. The players have been hand-picked by Fairfax rugby union journalists, chief rugby reporter Georgina Robinson, columnist Paul Cully, RugbyHeaven editor Steve Samuelson and Channel 10 chief rugby commentator Gordon Bray. Each position has a shortlist of five players, with the exception of second rowers and wingers. For the second rowers and wingers the panel decided as the positions were interchangeable there would be a list of 10 to choose from for the two slots.
When you log on to the competition page simply click on each player to determine your selection. Each player has the number of points they've scored and the number of Test caps plus a popularity rating as determined by users. The more people that choose that player, the higher their rating is.
Articles for each position are available to read to help you make an informed decision.
Once you've filled all positions, submit your team for consideration. You can edit your selections right up the competition closes on September 25.
How is the experts' team chosen?
Matthew Burke, Brian O'Driscoll, Simon Poidevin, Andrew Mehrtens and Bob Dwyer were given the shortlist selected by the Fairfax panel. Each legend then chose their best 15 - ranking each player from 1 to 5, and in the case of second rowers and wingers 1 to 10. Their scores were then combined to produce the ultimate team. As Burke and O'Driscoll were included in the shortlist, they both decided to rate themselves in fifth place - something you may want to take into consideration when selecting your team. After the numbers have been crunched we will reveal their ultimate team - The Gods of Rugby Heaven on Monday, September 28, 2015.
How will the winner be selected?
The person who matches the experts' panel selection exactly wins.
If more than one person picks the same team a random draw of those entries will determine the winner.
If no-one matches the team, the person with the highest number of same players as the expert panel wins. If there is more than one person in this instance, a random draw of those entries will select the winner.
