Loosehead-prop: Jason Leonard (England) – “Solid as a rock, was regularly asked to play on both sides of the scrum and never moaned. His record of four World Cups and two finals says it all.”
Hooker: Sean Fitzpatrick (New Zealand) – “Played for the All Blacks for ten years, a fantastic competitor and a great captain.”
Tighthead-prop: Jean-Pierre Garuet (France) – “From the old school of scrummagers, played in the 1987 final, a nuggety, fierce-looking guy.”
