Join the Sky Sports Debate on the career of the England ace

After a long distinguished career, Richard Hill is set to hang up his boots after Saracens' clash with Bristol on Saturday. While the likes of Lawrence Dallaglio, Martin Johnson and Jonny Wilkinson grabbed the headlines for England in the past, Hill has been the unsung hero - willing to put his body on the line time and time again. His value to the England team was shown in the 2003 World Cup when Hill was given until the semi-finals to recover from injury when other players would have been sent home. And the tough-as-teak flanker repaid the coaches with two sensational displays to help England lift the Webb Ellis Trophy. At club level he has also been a key member of the Saracens squad, racking up nearly 300 appearances. Join the Sky Sports Debate by sending us your views and highlights on Hill's career.
