Mike Catt's, 42, from Port Elizabeth South Africa, the world's finest one-on-one defender and pacey centre with a penchant for "chucking it out wide" is back in the England team for "Le Crunch" on Saturday. This begs the question - has the rugby world ever seen a greater player than Catty?

I think he is the finest ever.
The only problem he has this weekend is that he has Toby Floodgate inside him.
Flood's only contribution to the England team so far has been handing the ball to the opposition on several occasions.
But back to the question Catty is the best ever and hasn't aged a bit

I think you may have got your facts slightly wrong there son. Catty was in fact born in 1942 so that makes him 63. But rest assured he is the greatest inside centre in world rugby and has been since 1972. Welcome back Captain Catty. Nice touch having his mascot console Johnny 'Horizontal Harry' Wilkinson at the weekend. He knew his time had come !!!
