Let the arguments commence… For Rugby World magazine’s latest issue, on sale from 28 December, we have put together a men’s World XV and women’s World XV right now. And we know these will spark a bit of debate. So have at it!

So hear from Italy’s flying Garbisi brothers, hear all about Darcy Graham, catch up with Peato Mauvaka or Christ Tshiunza, get the inside track on Jack van Poortvliet, or sit down with reigning World Rugby men’s player of the year, Josh van der Flier…
