Will Carling, the former England rugby captain, has revealed his dream team comprising the best players from five different decades in his country’s rugby history.
The centre, who earned 72 caps for England from 1988 to 1997 and led the team in 59 of those matches, played alongside several outstanding players during his career.
He captained England to three Grand Slam victories in the Five Nations and led them to the 1991 Rugby World Cup final.
Despite his long history with the sport, Carling’s dream team features several current players, five of whom are still active in international rugby.
England Rugby’s Twitter page shared Carling’s selections.
