David Campese Ranks the 5 Rugby Legends He Admired Most — #1 Isn't a Winger

David Campese ​spent his career making world-class defenders look like amateurs — so who on earth made him ​stop and ​stare? The answer ​isn't ​a winger, and ​it isn't the name most fans ​expect. In this rugby documentary, Campese ​names the five players he admired most, ranked from deeply respected to ​untouchable. From John Kirwan's ​brute power in the brutal 1988 Bledisloe series against the All Blacks, to ​Philippe Sella's ​relentless ​French control, to ​Michael Lynagh's ​calm ​that made Campese's chaos actually work on the way to the 1991 World Cup title, to ​Serge Blanco's attacking imagination that mirrored his own. But the ​number one spot goes to Mark Ella — ​the ​man Campese called ​the best rugby ​player he had ever known ​or seen, the genius behind the 1984 Grand Slam tour and the Randwick philosophy that quietly reshaped Australian ​rugby forever. Would Mark Ella top ​your ​list too, or is there a name here you'd rank even higher?
