1985: Johnny Sexton (Ireland)
The main man behind Ireland’s international success in recent seasons and Leinster’s stranglehold on the European Champions Cup and Guinness PRO14 double in 2018. Puts his body on the line time and time again for the Irish and Leinster cause and as well as 76 caps in the famous green jersey, the 33-year-old has played six times for the Lions on their 2013 and ’17 tours.
