“McCaw only third” – Nigel Owens ranks the five best captains he refereed

#1. Thierry Dusautoir (France)

Owens said: “My choice as the best skipper I encountered may raise a few eyebrows, but what a captain Dusautoir was. He unfailingly put his body on the line throughout his career — recall the 38 tackles he made when France knocked the All Blacks out of the 2007 World Cup — led by example and understood the game very well.”
