The time has come for fans to begin selecting the inaugural Super Rugby Legends XV – a celebration of the legendary players who helped define the first 30 years of Super Rugby.
The first phase of voting has now wrapped up, with fans from each of the 11 Super Rugby Pacific clubs selecting the best-ever XV to have pulled on their respective club colours.
From today, the second phase of voting begins as these club legends go head-to-head, one position every week, to earn a place in the Super Rugby Legends XV.
The first position in contention is Loosehead Prop, with voting opening at 5pm AEDT / 7pm NZT today, closing on Saturday night and the inductee announced on competition social media channels on Sunday.
For each position a wildcard player representing the clubs that helped shape Super Rugby but are no longer part of the competition will be added to the list of nominees.
Os du Randt from the Cheetahs is the wildcard player at Loosehead Prop and will join the likes of Wyatt Crockett, Matt Dunning and Tony Woodcock in the vote.
In a quirk of the Club Legends XV, several players were selected by two of the clubs they played for, so this week fans have the chance to vote for James Slipper for his time at the Queensland Reds, or in recognition of his contribution at the ACT Brumbies.
Fans can vote at the following website, with voting opening each Monday and closing on Saturdays at midnight AEDT.
Below are the confirmed Club Legends XVs, as chosen by fans.
