Legendary England number 8 Lawrence Dallaglio has named three Englishmen in an immense all-time forward pack.
A solid all around player with bullish strength, Dallaglio is worthy of his place as one of the greatest back-rowers of all time.
His line-up includes five New Zealanders and three of England’s 2003 Rugby World Cup heroes.
Lawrence Dallaglio’s All-time Pack:
1 JASON LEONARD (ENG): People might say, ‘ah, Lawrence liked Leonard and put him in his World team’ but how can you get 115 caps, play in three decades, two World Cup finals and not be a pretty extraordinary player?
2 SEAN FITZPATRICK (NZ): To do it for as long as he did it, in a country where the scrutiny is intense and every mistakes is seized upon, that takes something special. Defined the role of the modern hooker
3 OLO BROWN (NZ): When the All Blacks had Dowd, Fitzpatrick and Brown in their front, they only ever went in one direction, forward. Brown was an awesome player, a truly brilliant scrummager
