Over the coming weeks, we’ll focus on 50 top players who have made a lasting impact on the tournament with their all-round brilliance, their try-scoring prowess, their leadership or with their sheer durability over a number of seasons.

Legendary figures such as the Toulouse try-machine, Vincent Clerc, Leinster Rugby’s talismanic Brian O’Driscoll, Jonny Wilkinson who was at the heart of RC Toulon’s period of dominance, the great Thierry Dusautoir, and the freakishly talented Maro Itoje who continues to raise the performance bar, will all feature.

We have chosen video clips of five legends for each of the 10 positions – full-back, wing, centre, fly-half, scrum-half, prop, hooker, second row, flanker and No 8 – all in action during the tournament, so you can feast your eyes on a whole series of riveting moments from the archives.

We’ll be kicking off this afternoon with the five legendary full-backs featuring classic contributions from Brive’s Sébastien Viars, Clément Poitrenaud of Toulouse, the Leinster pair of Rob Kearney and Isa Nacewa, as well Saracens’ Alex Goode.
