Dan Carter: Our trophy’s in the post…

1. Dan
Carter. There aren’t enough superlatives for rugby’s No. 1 superstar. Prides
himself on being the best in every department. And who are we to argue? A tactical
genius, strong runner and dynamite defender, Carter is Mr. Perfect!

2. Shane
Williams. Wales’ little guy with a huge reputation. The pocket rocket crowned
a record-breaking year – becoming Wales’ all-time top scorer – by lifting the IRB
World Player of the Year.

3. Richie
McCaw. The talisman in all-black. A modern day miracle man appearing in nine
games in under eight weeks at the end of 2008. It’s enough to make the PRA choke on
their Coco Pops.

4. Lee Byrne. Five years ago, the Ospreys and Wales full-back was as likely
to be coal mining as he was scoring crucial tries against England and Australia.

5. Conrad Smith. The unsung hero in the All-Blacks back-line. His pivotal role
has rejuvenated Ma’a Nonu’s career as well as giving a dangerously sublime balance
to New Zealand.
