Cunningham in World XIII

Keiron Cunningham is the only Welshman in this year's World XIII.

He is one of three of Great Britain's Tri-Nations line-up have been named in the mythical team.

Stuart Fielden and Jamie Pea**** were also both included in the side unveiled in the December issue of Rugby League World magazine.

There are just two New Zealanders in the side - Lesley Vainikolo and Ruben Wiki - despite their Tri-Nations win.

Australia make up the majority of the team even after losing their status as the world's best after their 24-0 defeat to the Kiwis in the Tri-Nations final.

The World XIII is selected by journalists from all the major league-playing nations.

Rugby league World XIII 2005:
A Minichiello (Australia); B Tate (Australia), M Gasnier (Australia), M Cooper (Australia); L Vainikolo (New Zealand); D Lockyer (Australia), A Johns (Australia); S Fielden (Great Britain), K Cunningham (Great Britain), R Wiki (New Zealand), C Fitzgibbon (Australia), J Pea**** (Great Britain), B Kennedy (Australia).

I have no issue with KC in any World XIII - though Jamie Pea****? I think Nathan Hindmarsh, David Kidwell, David Solomona and Luke O'Donnell are better options for a World XIII.
