“Leonard and Johnson” – Sean Fitzpatrick picks his all-time dream team

11. Jason Robinson (England)

10. Dan Carter (New Zealand) - "Perhaps the best of all-time."

9. Gareth Edwards (Wales) - “Gareth Edwards was my hero.

“My first rugby heroes weren’t All Blacks but British Lions — members of the 1971 team who played so brilliantly in New Zealand.”

1. Jason Leonard (England) - "Jason was an iconic figure and has to be in. We’ll pick him at loose-head because I want Brown at tighthead."

4. Martin Johnson (England) - "he is an obvious second-row choice. He was a phenomenal leader.

5. Colin Meads (New Zealand) - "My hero growing up. He has to be in their two. That would be a proper second-row."
