The penultimate part of our 100 Greatest Rugby World Cup players reveals the great names of the sport who just missed out on a spot in the top 20, with the countdown on the verge of revealing who is the greatest player in the history of the famous tournament.
After the likes of Shane Williams, Juan Martin Hernandez and Sonny Bill Williams featured in part three, even greater names start to appear in the next segment of the countdown.
Six All Blacks feature, with a few double-world champions included to boot, as well as seven Springboks across the 1995 and 2007 squads. Joining them are three Wallabies, two Englishmen and two Frenchmen, with the cream starting to rise to the top.
The southern hemisphere sides continue to dominate thanks to their Rugby World Cup success, but there is still space for one or two non-World Cup winners who did enough to leave their mark on the competition through special moments and performances.
