This is my greatest England team. They aren't a team I support or care about particularly but these players are ones that rise above anybodies antipathy towards the English rugby nation.

Pick your least favourite nation and then pick their best ever team. It's actually an interesting exercise because although i couldn't stand some of these players when they were still playing (Carling, Mooro and Johnson for example) they are definitely up there as great players.

This is not meant as a slagging exercise. It's meant as an exercise to show respect so bear that in mind

Found it hard to leave Richard Hill out but have that back row for me is pretty special.

By the way this isn't meant for just England but for anyone to name a best team from the opposition so to speak

You did say "Pick your least favourite nation" which for most people seems to be England Maybe you need to change the title?

well it's open to everyone so why don't you have a go at picking your least favourite nation and their best team?
