Four All Black stars make up the semi-final spots of World Rugby’s fans player of the decade vote.
There are two fly-halves and two back-rowers with Dan Carter and Beauden Barrett battling for a final spot, while former captains Richie McCaw and Kieran Read contest the other semi-final.
The vote has been taking place with a total of 16 players nominated by World Rugby as they split it into eight forwards and eight backs to compete on either side of a table.
All Blacks leading points scorer and the top points scorer in test rugby history with 1598 points, Carter, is arguably the greatest player of all-time and saw off Owen Farrell in the quarter-final stage despite not playing as much rugby this decade.
Carter boasts an impressive record however over the past decade with two Rugby World Cups to his name as well as making 112 appearances for the All Blacks, winning two World Rugby Player of the Year awards and impressing at club-level too.
He faces Barrett in the last-four, who is the star of the current All Blacks team, also has two Player of the Year awards to his name, along with a World Cup winners medal and playing well in Super Rugby.
He saw off All Blacks centre Ma’a Nonu in the last-eight and will fancy his chances in the battle of the 10’s having played for longer in the decade and continuing to be a top-class fly-half.
On the other side of the draw McCaw and Read came out of quarter-finals against Italian legend Sergio Parisse and Wallabies great David Pocock respectively.
Between the two they have 276 international caps with McCaw holding the test-cap record with his 148. The pair both have two World Cup medals to their name, while Read also has also been a part of the Crusaders team that has won three Super Rugby titles on the bounce.
Some will point out that like Carter, McCaw retired from international rugby in 2015 whereas the others played on, which you could argue makes them stronger candidates for this decade.
It will be interesting to see who comes out on top, but one thing is certain, an All Black will be named fans’ Player of the Decade.
