Hilda set to chase eggs for the very last time...

Though other noisier stars took most of the 2003 World Cup plaudits, Richard "Hilda" Hill was simply superb for England under Woodward. But now thanks to more knacks than even Jonny Wilks, he's set to lose his fight with injury and call it a day.

Sunday's Saracens Vs Munster semi final in Coventry could realistically be his last ever game. He has already announced he will retire at the end of the season and such is the state of his left knee that, if Saracens lose to the 2006 champions, he is not expected to play in their final two league games.
Hill is the ultimate unsung hero, hugely rated by close observers but liable to slip under the radar of casual fans.

Scrum-half Matt Dawson has described former team-mate Hill as "without question, the best rugby player England have ever had" on the BBC today. A bit over the top maybe, but he was certainly great enough to earn himself a free degree...
