Dream Team: Ross Chisholm – Harlequins full-back

Ross Chisholm1. I grew up playing with Joe at Haywards Heath where I was a year below him. He's very good all-around whether that's at the set piece or ball in hand.
2. Schalk Brits – The hooker is very good in the loose. He's got great footwork and   is devastating in attack. Tough man to get your hands on even if he's a front rower.
3. Carl Hayman – I played against him when he was at and he is a world-class scrummager. Tightheads are crucial to hold the scrum and they don't come much better than him.
4. Victor Matfield – Another world-class player I was lucky to play against last season when he came to . What a great lineout caller he was.
5. James Horwill – He is a formidable leader with a huge physical presence around the pitch. He was an instant hit when he arrived at Quins last season.
6. Maurie Fa'asavalu – He was a really aggressive ball carrier with an imposing presence on the field. That's why he was a big leader in our pack over the years.
7. Luke Wallace – I've got to put my mate ‘Mr Nasty' in there. He was with me and Joe growing up at Haywards Heath. Very underrated still, but a true workhorse.
8. The and Saracens No.8 is a powerful ball carrier. It looks like he reached a new level last season with club and country.
9. He is our captain at Quins and he is so electrifying around the breakdown. Give him an inch and he's gone.
10. Nick Evans – Having played with him for a few years now, It's easy to see why he won All Black caps. He is one of the best ball-playing fly-halves in the world and has done so much for Quins over the years.
11. Ugo Monye – In his pomp, he was such a physical and explosive winger. A true club legend who we missed a lot last season.
12. Jamie Roberts – The Welsh centre is a world-class defender and an unbelievable ball carrier. More often than not he puts our attack on the front foot.
13. Another hugely physical presence in midfield. He has been unlucky with injuries but when fit he is almost impossible to stop.
14. Alesana Tuilagi – Like his baby brother Manu, he is a huge Samoan. He hit me hard a couple of times but luckily I was a bit quicker and managed to avoid him most of the time!
15. I've learnt a lot from him my whole career and there's a reason why he's the most capped full-back in England. I still want his shirt though!
