FRONT-ROW:
Loosehead-prop: Joe Marler – A hell of a character. A great player and a great person to have in your changing room.
Hooker: Jamie George – Again a fantastic player.
Tighthead-prop: Dan Cole – He was my roommate every time we toured together or with England, so I don’t know who else I’d share with.

SECOND-ROW:
Lock: Martin Johnson (Captain) – A good enforcer. Our captain for sure.
Lock: Maro Itoje – The best second-row I played with. I think he’s just going to get better and better.
BACK-ROW:
Blindside-flanker: Schalk Burger (South Africa) – He’s a player I was lucky enough to play against when he was at Sarries. As a young lad I actually grew my hair to look like him.
Openside-flanker: Richie McCaw (New Zealand) – The best flanker there’s been full stop.
Number 8: Lawrence Dallaglio (England) – A phenomenal player for England and a phenomenal character from when I met him.
