#4. Johnny Sexton (Ireland)
At 36, Sexton’s place on this list of rugby’s best fly-halves is open to dispute.
But if his efforts in last season’s Six Nations and Autumn Internationals are anything to go by, there’s no argument to be had.
Yes, he is old and prone to injury. But the wily Dubliner is still the top dog for Ireland and Leinster.
Did you know? Sexton was the winner of World Rugby Player of the Year in 2018, having previously been a nominee for the award in 2014
#3. Michael Lynagh (Australia)
For a decade from his debut in 1984 to his international retirement in 1995, former Wallaby Skipper Lynagh was one of the most distinguishable players in World Rugby.
After 72 internationals, he had set a new point-scoring record of 911, which is still an Australia record.
He was an important member of the side that won the 1991 World Cup in England, but retired from International Rugby after Australia’s loss to England in the quarter-final of the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
Did you know? After quitting the game he maintained close links as a TV pundit in the UK with both Sky Sports and ITV as well as working with World Rugby
