Rugby writers Stephen Jones and Stuart Barnes are back with another ‘all-time’ list – this time looking at the ten greatest centres of all-time.
Interestingly, former Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll fails to top either man’s list with the legendary outside centre coming in at second on both lists.
