4. Owen Franks, New Zealand, 68 caps
“Another All Black and while Owen Franks wasn’t in Hayman’s league as a scrummager, although technically he is still very solid. He’s given the All Blacks set-piece stability/solidity over many years. As a player, he’s comfortable with the ball-in-hand, he’ll throw a miss pass if he want to, and he gets through his work in the loose. A genuine all-court tighthead.”
