20. JPR Williams (Full-back, Wales, 55 caps) When I was growing up he was the embodiment of competitiveness. Brave, attacking full back and a rock in defence. 
19. Willie John McBride (No 8, Ireland, 63 caps) Pipe-smoking legend, the definitive Lion.
18. Sean Fitzpatrick (Hooker, New Zealand, 92 caps) Nasty, ultra-competitive winner.
17. Peter Winterbottom (Openside, England, 58 caps) Respected in New Zealand, adored in South Africa, worshipped by me.
16. Jean-Pierre Rives (Openside, France, 59 caps) Hardest and bravest man I have seen on a rugby pitch, and he had all the skills.
15. David Duckham (Wing, England, 36 caps) His talent and sidestepping ability shone through though he was starved of ball.
14. Colin Meads (Second row, New Zealand, 55 caps) ‘Pinetree’ – this hard man was the foundation which the success of the All Blacks was built around.
13. Mike Gibson (Centre, Ireland, 69 caps) Almost the complete centre. Balance, vision, ball skills, temperament.
12. George Gregan (Scrum-half, Australia, 132 caps) Most capped player of all time – that says it all.
11. Philippe Sella (Centre, France, 111 caps) Prince of French centres, at his best untouchable.
