The World Rugby Hall of Fame was officially launched in 2006 – and today they have announced the six inductees for 2021.
The six inductees excel within two themes selected by the Hall of Fame panel for 2021, rugby sevens and the Olympic Games in a big Olympic year, and the 150th anniversary of the first international match between Scotland and England in March 1871.
