Jonny Wilkinson picks his dream backline - and includes himself, obviously

And in our time, we have seen some very good and very bizarre selections in equal measure.

Confirming that he knows more about rugby than the average player, WIlkinson picked VERY WELL, as you can see in the selection below

It's not particularly defensively-minded, but with the attacking talents on offer, we don't think that matters much.

Wilkinson said: "Blanco typified French rugby at its best with his audacity, ambition and flair. He was most famous for his scintillating counter-attacks, frequently running the ball out of seemingly impossible situations."

Wilkinson said: “His opportunism, his flair, his game reading, his sheer explosivity to really change a game is something that sticks in my memory”

Wilkinson said: “The ability to change the game in a second, a heartbeat, with his movement, with his skill, his game reading but also his leadership.”

Wilkinson said: “A guy that knew how to win, knew how to play the game. His body language suggested he didn’t really know how to fail or what mistakes were, what under performance was.”

Wilkinson said: “The guy is quite a remarkable rugby legend and deserves to be so. No Rugby World cup team would be complete without him.”

Wilkinson said: “The sheer aggression and resilience of the guy, his sheer character meant that anything, any ball that wasn’t good enough to go out to the number ten was never going to go out to the number ten. He would deal with everything himself and that meant control of the game”
