In the latest instalment of the WRP mini-lockdown series, the latest legend to select their greatest ever side, is Fiona Stockley but this episode has a slight twist.

When the Barbarians Women side was founded Fiona was at the heart of it and has remained there ever since. "Stockers" chooses her All Time Barbarians team, for on and off the field attributes............who makes the cut? Why not have a look at previous episodes where other legends, such as Rocky Clark, Liza Burgess, Lynne Cantwell, Sarah Hunter, Catherine Spencer and the like select their greatest ever sides.
