“Monsters” – Martin Johnson picks his all-time dream forward pack

BACK-ROW:

  • 6. Richard Hill, England: “It was a difficult choice but Hill, a quiet guy, very understated, was the pick. When he was with the Lions teams, if he didn’t play, we didn’t win. He would be embarrassed to be in this side, but he deserves it.”
  • 7. Michael Jones, New Zealand: “Sean Fitzpatrick says he was the greatest player he ever played against, a mythical figure.”
  • 8. Wayne Shelford, New Zealand: “Buck was at his peak for the World Cup final in 1987. I remember watching him as a 16-year-old on the terraces at Leicester a year earlier and saw him charge down the flank, chip the ball over the wing and score a try. Not bad for a back row.”
