England legend and Rugby World Cup winners Martin Johnson and Jonny Wilkinson have ranked his five toughest opponents from his incredible rugby career.
5. Wilkinson – Brian O’Driscoll (Ireland)
A veteran of four World Cups, Brian O’Driscoll made a name for himself on the World Stage for his unwavering consistency in defence and dazzling skills in attack.
O’Driscoll is the all-time Irish try scorer and has led his country more times than any other player.
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.”
5. Johnson – Sean Fitzpatrick (New Zealand)
Johnson said: ” “Played for the All Blacks for ten years, a fantastic competitor and a great captain.”
