#2. Tim Horan (Australia)
Australian rugby icon revered for his remarkable skills and tactical brilliance on the field. Horan’s illustrious career spans multiple Rugby World Cup victories and numerous accolades, establishing him as one of the sport’s most accomplished midfielders.
Guscott said: “Winning two World Cups tells it all. He was a pocket battleship with electric pace, and very tough. He tackled extremely hard for a small man, and in terms of pound-for-pound strength was like Scott Gibbs. One of the best, and in 1999 came back from a knee reconstruction to be the player of the tournament.”
DID YOU KNOW? As well as inside centre, Horan also played fly-half and earned one international cap on the wing.
