  1. 160 international Rugby caps and still going – Alun Wyn Jones of Wales is a behemoth in the sport. He has over 160 international caps to his name and he’s still going. He’s played at 4 world cups (2007-2019) which is a record, has played in 4 Lions Tours (2009-2021), which is also a record, and has clocked up over 225 appearances for the Ospreys too. Someone needs to check in his loft for a portrait of himself, because this guy just keeps going and going.

  2. Dan Carter, a former All Blacks fly-half, is regarded as one of the greatest players in rugby history. He is the highest point scorer in test rugby, with 1,598 points, and has won the World Rugby Player of the Year award twice (2005 and 2012).
