#4. Martin Johnson (England)
Johnson, the towering figure of English rugby, possessed a blend of skill and ferocity that made him a formidable opponent.
As the only English captain to lift the Rugby World Cup, Johnson’s leadership was matched only by his willingness to get stuck into the physical battles on the field.
His confrontational style often landed him in the sin-bin, but it also earned him respect as one of the toughest locks of his generation.
