Best player you've ever played against: Tim Horan (Australia)
"It's so hard, I've played against Lomu and McCaw and Carter. But, for me, a hero of mine growing up - and I got my first cap against him - centre for Australia, Tim Horan. He's a two-time World Cup winner and he was an exceptional player. He played 10, 12, 13 and he played full back - he just had the full skill set.
"I played against him as a kid in the winter of his career and I got schooled by him a few times. It's nearly nice when your heroes prove that they should be on that mantle."
The guy who'd most bend the rules and get away with it: Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
"Every seven in the world!
"Richie obviously got lots of stick in his 148 test matches but it says an awful lot that I think he was only sin-binned once in that. He really pushed the boundaries.
"I think it worked in his favour that he was captain for such a long time - it was a very smart play having the New Zealand captain as their open-side because he's most likely to be their biggest cheat. But Richie knew how to just play on that line.
"I always enjoyed playing against him because you knew you had to play your best game."
The worst player to tour with: Gavin Henson (British and Irish Lions)
"I roomed with Gavin Henson in 2005...
"On the morning of a game, if you didn't get into the bathroom for a whizz before him, you'd have to wait three hours. There was shaving of legs, there was fake tan, it was heavy on the moisturiser and heavy on the hair gel. He felt that, if he looked good, he played good and... sometimes it worked. Other times, questionable."

Peter O’Mahony open to Munster role after huge criticism of province
Fascinating insights from POM. Peter O’Mahony became the latest ex-player to criticise the management of Munster rugby; first in extracts from his new autobiography, All In, and now from a revealing chat with the Irish Independent. Last year, former scrum-half Conor Murray made headlines when he lambasted the Munster hierarchy. When asked whether he felt […]

Ex-England star in frame for Ireland squad after superb Munster debut
A quality signing it seems! The signing of Kieran Brookes was met with scepticism by some Munster supporters, earlier this year; and, indeed, the signing of a 36-year-old, who hadn’t played international rugby since 2016 – bar an appearance for the Barbarians – didn’t seem on par with the signing of hooker, and South Africa […]
