1. Émile Ntamack (France)
The former French winger Émile Ntamack was known for his dazzling footwork and unorthodox style. A vital member of the French team in the late 1990s, Ntamack’s elusive running posed unique challenges for defenders.
JONAH LOMU SAID:
“He’s my toughest opponent for sure. When you’re taught to defend against someone, you’re told to watch their hips because that’s the one place on the body that stays in one place when running. The problem with Émile was his whole body shifted, including his hips, meaning when he ran, he swayed from side to side.”

Ntamack played a crucial role in France’s journey to the 1999 Rugby World Cup final.
