Rugby’s greatest ever XV named as David Campese picks Englishman as captain

SECOND-ROW:

• 4. MARTIN JOHNSON (c) (England) – Few players demanded respect on the field like him. A great leader and my team’s captain
• 5. IAN JONES (New Zealand) – Pretty smart for a lock forward and one of the greatest lineout exponents of our game

BACK-ROW:

• 6. MICHAEL JONES (New Zealand) | Rugby’s original ‘Iceman’. He was an unbelievable player
• 7. WILLIE OFAHENGAUE (Australia) | A tough player, who never took a backward step. His brute strength took the team forward
• 8. KIERAN READ (New Zealand) | Silky skills, but his work rate off the ball and hard graft in the trenches make him the best in this position
