This book has selected the 25 greatest rugby players of all time. It will take you on a step-by-step guide through their illustrious careers, starting with their childhood, and then taking you through their playing days, making sure to highlight all of the countless records that they set along the way.
Being called one of the GOAT’s (Greatest of All Time) is a very big claim to make and there are many factors that must be ticked for a player to even be considered in this bracket. It is not just about the number of tries scored over their careers, or the number of trophies won, but it is also about their ability to be a great leader in the team, to step up in the big games, and to leave a legacy upon the great sport of rugby.
All of these factors have been carefully analysed to select 25 players who have shone above the rest, ranging from players of the 1960’s, to players who are still playing today.
Learning about the best of the best is crucial to becoming a better rugby player yourself. Who knows, maybe in the future you will be replacing one of these players as a legend in this book.
