"Remarkable" - England legend Jonny Wilkinson picks his all-time backline

Wilkinson wrote: "Serge Blanco typified French rugby at its best with his audacity, ambition and flair. He was most famous for his scintillating counter-attacks, frequently running the ball out of seemingly impossible situations."

Wilkinson wrote:“His opportunism, his flair, his game reading, his sheer explosivity to really change a game is something that sticks in my memory”

Wilkinson wrote:“The ability to change the game in a second, a heartbeat, with his movement, with his skill, his game reading but also his leadership.”

Wilkinson wrote: “A guy that knew how to win, knew how to play the game. His body language suggested he didn’t really know how to fail or what mistakes were, what under performance was.”

Wilkinson wrote: “The guy is quite a remarkable rugby legend and deserves to be so. No Rugby World cup team would be complete without him.”

Wilkinson wrote: “This is the key position for any World Cup winning team. You need guys that are going to lead and continue to do so right to the final seconds when it gets very, very tough. I can't just pick one."

Wilkinson wrote: “The sheer aggression and resilience of the guy, his sheer character meant that anything, any ball that wasn’t good enough to go out to the number ten was never going to go out to the number ten. He would deal with everything himself and that meant control of the game”
