November 1993 - Well done those clever selectors, eveyone shouted, as England beat the All Blacks at Twickenham and Will Carling was deemed to be the best captain, ever, at anything. It wasn't a fantastic game but all around the ground was an electric excitement. In those days Southern Hemisphere sides only toured every few years so these matches felt like important tests, as big as Lions games, a rare chance to see how good we really were against the best.
Many people felt that Will should be knighted - or at least be on first name terms with one of the royal family.
Plus he had an amazing bum chin.
