FL: Rocky Elsom (Australia) – “Difficult but I put the Australia captain a short head in front of the Springbok Schalk Burger, because of his heroics during Leinster’s winning Heineken Cup campaign. He’d knock at Balboa, he’s that strong.”
FL: Richie McCaw (New Zealand) – “You can’t look past the All Black captain but George Smith and Serge Betsen have their followers.”
N8: Lawrence Dallaglio (England) – “Simply the best captain I have ever known and one of those guys who was in at the start of my coaching career. Two World Cup finals, two Heineken Cups, four Premiership championships and a couple of Anglo‑Welsh cups says it all.”
