Richard Hill
Bio:
One of the most understated back-row forwards in rugby history, Richard Hill was the ultimate team player.
With 71 England caps and a central role in the 2003 World Cup win, Hill’s influence was often felt more than it was seen — through work rate, defensive reads and tactical intelligence.
Johnson said:
“A quiet guy, very understated, was the pick. When he was with the Lions teams, if he didn’t play, we didn’t win. He would be embarrassed to be in this side, but he deserves it.”
Hill was never flashy, but Johnson knew exactly how vital he was — the kind of player teams miss the moment he’s not there.
