#3 Richard Hill
England’s Silent Assassin and the one man Clive Woodward refused to drop. His former team-mates will line up to tell you that Hill’s true value was only recognised when he was not on the pitch.

#2 Jonny Wilkinson
It seems incredible that for all his injury problems, Wilkinson made it to four World Cups while no one has scored more points in the tournament. Cemented his place as an English national treasure with the winning drop goal against Australia in 2003.

#1 Martin Johnson
The Leicester lock played in three World Cups and never took a backward step in any of them. By the time he retired from Test rugby he had won 84 caps for England, as well as playing 362 times for the Tigers.
