5. Pieter de Villiers, France, 69 caps
“I watched Pieter de Villiers from afar, playing for Stade Francais and France for many years. I think he grew up in South Africa but played for France he was in a really powerful front-row that dominated. If you looked closely, he would set up in a funny angle and looked really awkward to prop against. I remember him going over to South Africa with France and destroying the Springbok scrum over there, which doesn’t happen often. He was a formidable unit.”
