England legend Jonny Wilkinson picked his all-time rugby XV, except it’s not what you think. In fact, it's made up exclusively of male movie stars.
The team is quite heavy on brawny action stars whose acting skills are probably on a par with their rugby-playing abilities, but in terms of the physical requirements for each role, we feel Wilkinson did a pretty good job.
Check out his team for yourself below.

15. Chuck Norris
14. Vin Diesel

2. Sylvester Stallone
3. Michael Clarke Duncan
4. Dolph Lundgren
5. Will Smith
6. The Rock

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
