Danny Care And Ellis Genge Both Name Their Toughest Ever Opponent
Danny Care and Ellis Genge have both opened up about the toughest players they respectively faced during their illustrious playing careers so far.
Below, we look at a number of players that England internationals have deemed their toughest ever opponents.
#1. James Haskell: Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
Lifting the 2011 World Cup in his backyard was a fitting tribute to one of the greatest ever All Blacks, but he went on to secure true legendary status as he continued for four more years, breaking record after record and uniquely hoisting the Webb Ellis trophy for a second time.
Haskell said: “The thing that has stood out for me is his decision-making at the breakdown, knowing when to compete for the ball, to clear out or to get back in the line, he always makes the right decision and he’s been doing it for years.”
