Or should it be a XV. Blokes who played Rugby and Cricket internationally...

Martin Donnelly (NZC, EngRU)
Otto Nothling (Aus)
Maurice Turnbull (EngC, WalesRU)
Jimmy Sinclair (SAfC, SAF&EngRU)

There's a start.

It could have been Herschelle Gibbs. In fact many people say he was a better rugby player than a cricketer.

Peter Kirsten was a useful flyhal til he buggered his knee.

I was actually at the game where he played against the 1974 Lions

Likewise George Gregan was a pretty handy cricketer as a kid before going on to captain the Wallabies.

Nick Mallett had Oxford Blues at rugby and cricket and another sport which would make a good trivia question.

Half of the Namibian cricket team at the cricket world cup in 2003 also represented Namibia at the rugby world cup in Australia later that year.

David Rathie (QLD) and Graham Hughes (NSW) come to mind, from the 70's.

I hope Rathie was better at rugby than cricket.

Tony Lock could fit nicely into your second row.

Even though I'm unsure he ever got hold of any oval balls.
