Campo was very quick, an X-factor player and a great playmaker.

13. DANIE GERBER
In his prime, he was one of the best centres in the world and one any wing would love to have on his inside.

An exceptionally gifted loose forward with pace, skills and an excellent work rate.

5. JOHN EALES (c)
A great lineout forward, good captain and true team player.

Big, strong, mobile and skilful.
