Dream Team: Bradley Davies – Wasps, Wales and former Cardiff Blues lock

1. Gethin Jenkins – Mr Grumpy! He pretty much did my job for me when I played with him. He used to run behind me telling what to do or what not to do. A phenomenal player.
2. Matthew Rees – A good player with an old head on him. His most famous quote as a captain was: “No 50-50 calls unless it’s on.”
3. Taufa’ao Filise – The most capped Blues player of all time is the strongest man I’ve ever seen in the gym. A strong, fast and powerful Tongan beast.
4. Bakkies Botha – Hero of mine growing up watching him smashing everybody. I’ve been told I look like him and it was great to play against him.
5. Daniel Jones – Unbelievable warrior. A 20 carries, 20 tackles a game type – underrated player in Wales.
6. Nathan Hughes – I know he plays No.8 for Wasps but I put him at blindside just because of what he can do. He’ll be world-class once he grows into his huge body.
7. Francois Louw – Phenomenal over the ball. A very aggressive player who’s very hard to move once he’s got his head in there.
8. Xavier Rush – At times he was just un-defendable and he won us a few games at Cardiff Blues single handedly. A great player.
9. Will Genia – When I was thinking about this team I thought who’s dangerous around the ruck, and as a guard, I can tell you that you’d be worried if you saw him running at you. Very quick indeed.
10. Rhys Priestland – I played with him for all age-groups with Wales and on his day he’s the best attacking fly-half around.
11. Sinoti Sinoti – We don’t know much about him but his steps are incredible. On top of that he’s very strong and powerful. The kind of player you dread being one on one against.
12. Sonny Bill Williams – I remember playing against him in the Amlin Cup final in 2010 when he was at Toulon. He was just unbelievable in that game which he started by smashing our blindside flanker.
13. Casey Laulala – At Racing Metro now but we didn’t know him when he turned up at the Blues with his All Black cap.  What a player! He’s very strong with amazing feet.
14. Christian Wade – Very difficult to leave him out of this team because he can do things on the field that no one else can. The most laid-back man off the field always being late to team meetings but give him the ball in space and you know he’ll score.
15. Ben Blair – Would still be on the training field hours after we all went home when I was at the Blues. Everyone remembers us losing to Leicester at the penalty shoot-out a few years ago but Ben was the reason we even drew the game with two sensational touchline-conversions late on.
