"I'd agree with that. The only other option would be Sebastien Chabal. He was probably the first person we idolised as Sale supporters when we moved to the North West. I think Tom is trying to emulate his hair at the minute actually."

Curry twins pick their sensational all-time back-row
Ben and Tom Curry joined Will Greenwood on his podcast with the twins coming together to select a sensational all-time back-row.
Listen here: https://trib.al/66WfENA
Blindside-flanker: Richard Hill (England)
The flanker was “first on the team-sheet,” according to Martin Johnson and Sir Clive Woodward. Praised by Jeremy Guscott for his “work rate”, it is no wonder the forward scored so many points.
TC:
"I have to go Hilly. As a mentor growing up from 15 he has to be in our team. His reputation and how good he was as a player, I think he'd be really fun to play with."Openside-flanker: David Pocock (Australia)
The Zimbabwe-born flanker, who was capped 83 times over an 11-year period, hung up his boots earlier this year following a stellar career.
BC: "Watching him a lot, he's probably the person I've tried to emulate most. Also not just as a player, I'd love to have been around him as a bloke during his training regime. It always looked intense."
TC: "An incredible player."
Number 8: Lawrence Dallaglio (England)
An integral part of the World Cup-winning squad 13 years ago. His commitment to the badge is also shown at club level, with 227 appearances for Wasps.
TC: "Dallaglio was a big player for us growing up and our Dad loved him. His ability at eight and his physical carrying I think would make this back-row really exciting. Probably a bit of a boring answer."
BC:

- 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
