Harlequins’s greatest players: Is this Quins greatest all-time XV?

Lock: OLLY KOHN 

Wales international Kohn scored four tries in 139 appearances for Quins after joining from Bristol in 2006. He was a key part of the Harlequins squad that won the Amlin Challenge Cup in 2011 and the Aviva Premiership in 2012.


Lock: GEORGE ROBSON

The powerhouse second-row spent 11 seasons at The Stoop after progressing through the academy, making almost 200 appearances. He was a key part of the Harlequins side which won the European Challenge Cup in 2011 and the Premiership title a year later. Robson has also represented England Saxons and captained the England senior midweek side on the tour of South Africa in 2012.


Flanker: CHRIS ROBSHAW

After developing through the Harlequins Academy, Robshaw made his first club appearance in 2005 and has made more than 250 appearances in the Harlequins jersey.

In 2010, the flanker was named skipper of Harlequins and two years later was named the captain of his country for the 2012 Six Nations in just his second Test (one which came two and a half years after his International debut).

The flanker captained England to their historic victory over the All Blacks in December 2012 as well as the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England. As Quins captain, he led the side to both the Amlin Challenge Cup title in 2011 as well as the Premiership title the following season.

Flanker: PETER WINTERBOTTOM 

Harlequins legend Winterbottom was known for his work rate, durability, hard tackling and courage.  He was selected on two British and Irish Lions tours in 1983 and 1993, both to New Zealand, where he impressed the locals with his fine play, albeit on losing sides. He was the second England player to reach 50 caps, after Rory Underwood, and was inducted onto the Twickenham “Wall of Fame” in November 2005.


Number 8: ZINZAN BROOKE 

After finishing a stellar career with the All Blacks, winning 58 caps, rugby legend Brooke arrived at Quins in 1987 and stayed at the club for four years before later coaching them.
