Jonny Wilkinson ranks his THREE best No.10's - with Carter missing out on top spot

Rugby union has been graced with some legendary fly-halves over the years, and Jonny WIlkinson is certainly one of those.

The legendary fly-half is the second highest points scorer in history with 1,246 in 97 caps.

Wilkinson was also a great allrounder who had an incredible influence on his side, with England winning 67 of the 91 games that they played with him at fly half. He also remains the record points scorer at World Cups, scoring 277 overall.

His stellar moment came in 2003, when his injury time drop goal secured a thrilling World Cup victory for England against Australia.

Below, see who he rated in his top three players of all-time to don the famous No.10 jersey.

Fly-half Stransky cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the nation by kicking the drop goal that saw South Africa claim the sport's biggest prize in 1995.

He also wrote his name in the history books in the opening match of the tournament when he became the first Springbok to score a try, a conversion, a penalty and a drop goal in the same game - a 27-18 win over defending champions, Australia.

The double World Cup-winner has established himself as one of the greatest players in history, being near faultless in every department: he can attack, break the line and kick accurately tactically or at goal.

He was named the World Player of the Year in 2005, 2012 and 2015 and has won three Super Rugby titles with the Crusaders, and nine Tri-Nations and Rugby Championships with the All Blacks.

Carter averaged almost 15 points a Test, the highest of any player in history who has scored more than 500 points. One of his greatest performances came in the second Test against the Lions in 2005, when he outshone Wilkinson in their fly-half battle to lead New Zealand to an emphatic 48-18 triumph in Wellington.

He scored two tries, five penalties, and four conversions and ended the match with 33 points, easily eclipsing the previous record of 18.

Did you know: In 2008, American Cable Channel E! judged Carter to be 11th on its list of the world’s sexiest men.

A former Wallabies captain, Lynagh is the highest points scorer in his countries history, with 911. When he retired, that total was also a World record points tally, but it is now fifth on the all-time list.

A member of the 1984 Grand Slam winning team, Lynagh played for his country for 11 years, winning 72 caps for his country.

He also played a pivotal role as Australia won the World Cup in England back in 1991, although he retired due to injury following a defeat against the same opponents in the 1995 quarter-final.
