Halfbacks: Command and Control<\/p>\n
10. Dan Carter (New Zealand)
Arguably the best fly-half in rugby history, Carter scored over 1,500 test points and guided New Zealand to World Cup glory in 2015.<\/p>\n
9. Aaron Smith (New Zealand)
A master tactician and one of the game\u2019s most accurate passers, Smith revolutionized the halfback role with his speed and decision-making.<\/p>\n
McCaw on Carter:
\u201cThere are a lot of good players, but Dan Carter stands out because of how long he was great. In the final, he was sensational. To have played alongside him for so many years was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Front Row: The Engines<\/p>\n
1. Tony Woodcock (New Zealand)
Scorer of the only try in the 2011 Rugby World Cup final, Woodcock was a cornerstone of the All Blacks\u2019 scrum for over a decade.<\/p>\n
2. Dane Coles (New Zealand)
One of rugby\u2019s most dynamic hookers, Coles brought an explosive running game to the All Blacks\u2019 forward pack.<\/p>\n
3. Olo Brown (New Zealand)
A rock-solid tighthead prop, Brown was renowned for his scrummaging prowess and played 69 tests for the All Blacks in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
McCaw on Woodcock:
\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a night out, stay away from Tony\u2014or make sure you\u2019re ready for one. We\u2019ve played together since age-grade rugby, and he\u2019s always been a beast on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
