Published on June 1, 2021

England and British & Irish Lions great Jonny Wilkinson has revealed the five players he ranks as the greatest flyhalves of all time.

The 42-year-old Wilkinson amassed 97 Test caps (91 for England and six for the British & Irish Lions) during which he accumulated 1,246 points in his 14-year international career from 1998 to 2011.

Regarded in some parts as the greatest flyhalf, ‘Wilko’ – as he is affectionately known – has in an interview with Sky Sports listed the five players he rates as the greatest No 10s to ever play the game.

He selected two Wallabies, two All Blacks and a Springbok.

Wilkinson’s top five flyhalves:

1. Michael Lynach (Australia)
2. Dan Carter (New Zealand)
3. Joel Stransky (South Africa)
4. Stephen Larkham (Australia)
5. Grant Fox (New Zealand)
