Dream Team: Ben Mosses – Bristol and former Bath centre

1. Mako Vunipola – I played with him at Millfield and he was a massive force running over and around people. He actually came over much bigger than he is now and our coach John Mallett didn't pick him for a while until he got into shape.
2. Schalk Brits – Mako's teammate at Saracens is a great player. I played against him only once but that was enough to see how good he is. Incredible skills.
3. Davey Wilson – A seasoned England player with an unbelievable set-piece. A great bloke but you don't want to get on the wrong side of him. Tried to avoid him in training.
4. Roy Winters – A Bristol legend who retired last year. A true workhorse who gets on with the dirty and gritty work. Someone I looked up to when I joined Bristol last season.
5. Joe Launchbury – I played at age-group level with him and he's gone on to become one of the best second-rows in the country. A quiet guy but got on with his job very effectively on the pitch.
6. Maurie Fa'asavalu – The former Harlequins star is just massive. A big hitter who was horrible to play against.
7. Jack Lam – A powerhouse who smokes people at every opportunity. Even in training, if he catches you he makes you stay down.
8. Mitch Eadie – A young player coming through but he's been arguably Bristol's best player this season. Lightning pace for a No.8 with all the attributes to become something special if he gets the exposure he deserves in the Premiership.
9. Michael Claassens – Outstanding player and even better bloke. Spent three seasons at Bath without missing a single game. A true ironman who made things happen.
10. Owen Farrell – I played against him a couple of times and he always delivers under pressure. Good from the tee, too, putting the points over constantly.
11. David Lemi – Can create something out of nothing with his electric feet. Has great passion for the club and always leads by example on or off the pitch.
12. Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu – I faced him a few times in the A-League when he was at Gloucester. A massive player who can carry or pass. A nightmare to play against.
13. Jonathan Joseph – I played in midfield with JJ at Millfield, England age-group level and Bath and it was brilliant fun. An outstanding player with a great outside break and quick feet. It was great to see him light up the Six Nations.
14. Marland Yarde – Another one from my age group. Electric pace and very strong. Unfortunate he hasn't played for England much this season as he was one of their best players in New Zealand last summer.
15. Nick Abendanon – Incredible how he hasn't been recognised earlier for how good he is. He was that good for Bath before he went to Clermont.
