Dream Team: Jon Fisher – Northampton and former London Irish No.8

Jon Fisher1. Alex Corbisiero – Obviously! We're the same age and I grew up with Corbs at before linking up again this season at Saints. One of the best scrummaging looseheads in world rugby.
2. A ruthless competitor and a great captain at Northampton. He always leads from the front whether it's for Saints or .
3. Faan Rautenbach – The former London Irish and Springbok typified South African physicality. A huge man not to be messed with.
4. Courtney Lawes – He is one of the most laid back guys I know. But he goes to the dark side when he gets on the pitch and the next thing you know he is rearranging vertebrae on the opposition.
5. Jamie Cudmore – I faced the big Canadian lock only a few weeks ago when we went to in the quarter-finals. Someone who redefined the term ‘enforcer' over his long career.
6. Dan Lydiate – The Welsh star makes the leg tackle a thing of beauty. Put one on me a few years back when Irish took on the and it hurt a lot.
7. Declan Danaher – A true London Irish legend. The wisdom he handed out when I was in the academy made me the man I am today. Forever grateful.
8. Chris Hala'ufia – Always prone to a controversial tackle but when he was at his best for London Irish three or four seasons ago he was one of the best No.8s in the world
9. Pete Richards – Another London Irish legend in this team. Pete has a superb rugby brain and was very witty too.
10. Quade Cooper – He was part of the team at the 2008 Junior with Will Genia in . We took them on in our last pool game and he left me for dead during the game, a career highlight.
11. George North – He is still so young but he is already a world class finisher. Will do great things in years to come for Northampton and Wales alike.
12. Seilala Mapusua – The former London Irish and Samoa star could do it all on the pitch. He also drove the off-field culture at the club which is a fine art.
13. Elvis Seveali'i – I've picked him for his partnership with Maps' in midfield. Another Samoan with an unbelievable skills level.
14. Adam Thompstone – A player who combines speed and power to perfection. Steer well clear of his hand-off.
15. Tom Homer – He is often talked about purely for his kicking prowess but he has so much more to offer and we might see it in 's colour.
