Jonah Lomu picked Martin Johnson when he was asked to name his greatest ever XV in 2002

All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu revealed his all-time Dream Team for a magazine in 2002 – and it’s quite incredible.

We were sent a clipping from a magazine where the superstar named his dream selection of his favourite players.

Here’s how his phenomenal XV looked:

15. Christian Cullen (New Zealand)


14. Rory Underwood (England)


13. Tana Umaga (New Zealand)


12. Tim Horan (Australia)


11. Émile Ntamack (France)

“When your taught to defend against someone you’re told to watch his hips because it’s the one place on the body when you’re running that stays in one place.

“The problem with Émile was his whole body shifted, including his hips, meaning when he ran he swayed from side to side so I was always like what the the hell am I going to do here.”
