Danny Care And Ellis Genge Both Name Their Toughest Ever Opponent

Below, we look at a number of players that England internationals have deemed their toughest ever opponents.

Lifting the 2011 World Cup in his backyard was a fitting tribute to one of the greatest ever All Blacks, but he went on to secure true legendary status as he continued for four more years, breaking record after record and uniquely hoisting the Webb Ellis trophy for a second time.

Haskell said: “The thing that has stood out for me is his decision-making at the breakdown,  knowing when to compete for the ball, to clear out or to get back in the line, he always makes the right decision and he’s been doing it for years.”

CARE SAID: "I’ve played against Ma’a quite a few times. Firstly, he’s such a handful to rein in. Just look at him, he's 17 odd-stone and unbelievably powerful but he’s so much more than just a crash ball merchant.

"He really worked on his offloading game and he reads the ball well. He’s a real specimen and will happily run over you all day but off the pitch, he’s really nice guy, the first to shake your hand and buy you a beer. He’s a great lad.

"I’d love to be his size for a couple of games, it would be a lot of fun.”

Robshaw said: "The best flanker there's been full stop."

Sinckler said: "Number one would have to be the beast. He's a strong boy and has over 100 caps for South Africa for a reason. He was somebody I really looked up to as a kid. He was the real deal...world-class."
