4. Conrad Smith (New Zealand)<\/p>\n
Nicknamed The Snake because of his ability to slither through the smallest of gaps and strike with a sudden burst of speed. Brought fluidity to the All Blacks midfield with his intelligent passing and vision.<\/p>\n
Brian O\u2019Driscoll SAID:<\/strong> \u201cI thought Conrad Smith was always one of the really difficult ones. He was nicknamed \u2018Snake\u2019 I think because of his hips and it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s going that fast but jeez, he can travel.\u201d<\/p>\n 3. Richard Hill (England)<\/strong><\/p>\n The ultimate players\u2019 player. Did all the unseen, grafting work and just got on with his job in unassuming fashion, putting his body on the line. Able to excel right across the back row, he was a pivotal figure on two Lions trips and an England World Cup winner.<\/p>\n Brian O\u2019Driscoll SAID:<\/strong> \u201cRichard Hill, England No.6 that\u00a0won the World Cup in 2003. He was a brilliant teammate but he made that team tick, he was the unsung hero in that world cup win. He was hard! I always liked playing with guys that were nails in the team, that really stood up and never took a backwards step.\u201d<\/p>\n CONTINUES ON PAGE THREE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Like this:<\/p>\n Like Loading…<\/p>\n
