RANKED | Sir Ian McGeechan lists his top 10 rugby wingers of all time

7. Bryan Habana (South Africa)

“Equal record-holder with Lomu on number of RWC tries. Very powerful and if you get him to within 5m of the line, he probably scores more tries than anyone else.”


6. John Kirwan (New Zealand)

“Made such an impression at the first Rugby World Cup in 1987. He was one of the first big wingers but he could also score tries from 60m out. He maybe did not have a great sidestep but his running angles were superb.”


5. Jason Robinson (England)

“He made such an impact on the game when moving from rugby league. He had dazzling feet that meant he so often beat the first defender and, like most top wingers, you could play off him as well as him being such a devastating finisher.”


4. Jeff Wilson (New Zealand)

“Just a brilliant rugby player with vision and skill. I really enjoyed watching him. He played international cricket too and it backs up my belief that so many of the best players play different sports.”
