When it comes to rugby, there's not much consensus on who is the best player ever. This sport is very different from other major sports. To be successful, players must be strong, agile and quick. But there are some dominant players who have made a big impact on the sport, and who deserve a spot on the list. Here are a few.
Jonah Lomu was the first real superstar of the sport. Jonah Lomu, who was 19 when he made his debut in New Zealand's rugby team, scored 7 tries in just five games. Lomu was such a good player that he made the switch to professional rugby winger.
Another superstar who made a huge impact on the sport was Antoine Dupont. Not only did he play a key role in France's historic victory over the All Blacks, but he also led his country to a perfect record in the Autumn Nations Series. His ability as a player to play big and run the ball has been an influence on many others.
Antoine Dupont, the Men's-15s Player of The Year award at World Rugby Awards has been a popular choice. His team and club have done well this year, and Dupont is in excellent form for both. He's a clear winner for the best player award, even though he may not win the trophy.
Scotland was a great team in the 80s. It was also one of the pleasures of watching the game. It was fun to see the teams of France, Ireland, England, and France. These countries still produce great players.
There are also Pacific Islanders who have made a big impact. Fiji's success includes defeating Wales to win their first World Cup. In recent years, Wallabies have seen some impressive players. However, Australia has not reached the same heights.
Wallabies captain Michael Hooper has made a significant impact on the team but is still not considered the best in the world. Hooper, while a good tackler and hard worker, also has an engine to support him when he isn't playing. If Hooper can improve his team, he'll be a top contender for the trophy.
Ox Nche, the last of the scouts. The Wallabies flanker has been a dominant scrummer in every match of the Autumn Nations Series. Among other things, he's made a few monster tackles.
South Africa has been home to one the greatest rugby teams ever. There are some outstanding players on the World Cup finalist list. They aren't alone in having top-notch international teams. New Zealand and England are other examples.
Although no one player can be called the "best player of the world", there are some individuals who have the combination of skill, physicality, and creativity that allows them to make an impact. These are only a few names on the top ten list of the greatest players in the world.
