Top 10 Best Rugby Players Ever

A 6-foot-5, 260-pound winger who ran the 100m in 10.8 seconds — Lomu's four tries against England in the 1995 World Cup semi-final changed rugby forever and made it a global sport.

The highest point-scorer in Test history with 1,598 points, Carter controlled games from fly-half with a boot and a brain that made him the complete number 10.

The Welsh scrum-half scored "that try" for the Barbarians against the All Blacks in 1973 — widely regarded as the greatest try ever scored and the defining moment of a peerless career.

South Africa's first Black captain lifted two consecutive World Cups, rising from a township in the Eastern Cape to become the most symbolically powerful figure in rugby history.

Sixty-seven tries in 124 Tests made the Springbok winger the most lethal finisher of his generation — his hat-trick against Samoa in the 2007 World Cup matched Lomu's tournament record.

The Venezuelan-born French fullback played with a cigarette-smoking insouciance and scored one of the great World Cup tries against Australia in 1987 — 93 caps of flair and unpredictability.

Campo's goose-step and outrageous attacking instincts produced 64 tries in 101 Tests for Australia — infuriating to opponents, occasionally to teammates, and the most entertaining player of his era.

England's towering lock captained the 2003 World Cup winners, led the Lions, and ruled every lineout and collision area with an intimidating physicality that demanded respect from every opponent.

At 5-foot-7 and 80 kilograms, the Springbok wing plays like a video game glitch — his sidestep against England in the 2019 World Cup final sealed a dynasty and defied physics.
