Wallabies icon David Campese picks dream XV with Johnson as captain

15. ANDRÉ JOUBERT (South Africa) | Fantastic attacking player, who posed a threat to opposition defences every time he had the ball.

14. JOE ROFF (Australia) | Great finisher, who effortlessly covered fullback when he had to.

13. PHILIPPE SELLA (France) | Epitome of French flair. Excellent link between the inside and outside backs.

12. TIM HORAN (Australia) | Great runner and strong in defence. Wonderful anticipation.

11. NEMANI NADOLO (Fiji) | At full tilt, is nigh unstoppable, and his skills add another dimension to his powerful running game.

10. JOEL STRANSKY (South Africa) | There was nothing he couldn’t do under pressure. One of the best Springbok flyhalves.

9. NICK FARR-JONES (Australia) | Great visionary and very unselfish player. One of the great Wallabies captains.

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.

7. WILLIE OFAHENGAUE (Australia) | A tough player, who never took a backward step. His brute strength took the team forward.

6. MICHAEL JONES (New Zealand) | Rugby’s original ‘Iceman’. He was an unbelievable player.

5. IAN JONES (New Zealand) | Pretty smart for a lock forward and one of the greatest lineout exponents of our game.

4. MARTIN JOHNSON (c) (England) | Few players demanded respect on the field like him. A great leader and my team’s captain.

3. EWEN McKENZIE (Australia)| Solid in the scrums and good all-round player on the park. ‘Mr Reliable’ in his heyday.

2. TOM LAWTON (Australia) | Played for the Sharks for a couple of seasons. Had a big frame, but did what was required of him.

1. OS DU RANDT (South Africa) | His scrummaging technique would have complemented McKenzie and Lawton well.
