#2 Will Greenwood and Mike Tindall
Ever since the days of Carling and Guscott England had struggled to find a centre combination that worked so effectively together, that is until Clive Woodward combined the brilliant rugby brain of Leicester and Harlequins inside centre Greenwood and the ferocious physical power of Bath and Gloucester outside centre Mike Tindall.
Together they were at the heart of everything good about England’s most glorious of periods and were both central to the World Cup triumph of 2003.
