"And you watch certain teams do it - that Leinster team and the Saracens boys - and you know how special it is. That's why I still go down to my local, Level 5 rugby club. Because if you surround yourself with good people, you can still have good fun. "My overriding memory is remarkably good people, achieving something no-one had done before and no-one has done since. But I don't remember it for that. I remember if for the fact that if Johnno rang up this week and said, 'There's a game. It's three o'clock Saturday'. Or he sent that email out. We'd all be there. "And we'd all there there with our boots on. And we might not be very good, and we might be old and we might get our heads kicked in, but we'd go down scrapping."[caption id="attachment_241309" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

Current England head coach has a higher win percentage of anyone that has had the job in the past 50 years. Woodward rates fourth on the all-time list [71.1%] behind Geoff Cooke and Jack Rowell, but losing five of his final six Tests - before taking the Lions job - hurt the %, if not the legacy.
"That's the beauty of that team," Will Greenwood added. "And the quote sounds aggressive when I start it, not one of this [current] England team would get in that [2003] team. "And people might say, 'Wow, that's a bit punchy'. But not one of us would get in their team. 100%. "If you asked Maro Itoje if he wanted to swap anyone, he'd say, 'I do not. That lot are rubbish. This is my pack. These are my boys. This is my team. this is what we're going to do'. "And if you can find yourself in a team like that... I'm sure the Saracens boys would say the same thing. If you can find yourself in that environment, I'm not saying the results don't matter, but the process of building and finding that way to win... finding your own solutions to problems, that don't always necessarily result in victories, and knowing that on occasions you've been beaten, on the day, by a better team - shit happens, move on and deal with it. "But you're putting yourself in a position where a good team has to play at their absolute peak to beat you, that's what you're striving for in sport."So it is a matter of, I'll stick my my guys, thanks. The real debate is how both sides in their prime would fare against each other. It is one for computer simulations and pure pub-talk. Will Greenwood's book, World Class: How to Lead, Learn and Grow like a Champion, is out now. WATCH THAT FULL EPISODE HERE:
