If there were a combined southern hemisphere side who would you pick to play and coach from the current crop of players in the rugby championship?

Lions wouldn't get within 50 of such a side

Confused me a bit there, Buddha, having both du Plessis and Moore on the bench; I presume you mean the bench is Jannie du Plessis.
Not sure about Slipper in Guru's starting XV, but maybe having the Beast coming on at 60 would be an awesome sub.
Either Buddha's or Guru's team would trounce the Lions; there's a reason why the Lions tour each country in turn! :)
Not a bad team!
