"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."
Ben and Tom Curry joined Will Greenwood on his podcast with the twins coming together to select a sensational all-time back-row.
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."
