BACK ROW: Several judges have made the point that Australia's Anthony Laffranchi, Paul Gallen and Glenn Stewart are not quite up to the standards of previous Kangaroos legends.

Of course, we're talking in relative terms. Any player pulling on the green-and-gold jersey demands respect.

England's Gareth Hock bases his game around spectacular offloads and if they come off, it's edge-of-the-seat time.

Kevin Sinfield's kicking game will test any defence, and his passing vision is equally dangerous. Gareth Ellis is simply world-class - strong, quick and can tackle all day.
