Legends Jonny Wilkinson And Brian O'Driscoll Amongst 12 Hall Of Fame Inductees

A Hall of Fame is a tricky thing to get right. The WWE's version has Donald Trump, Drew Carey and worst of all Koko B. Ware. Rugby on the other hand has a history of very worthy inductees to its own version and this years 12 are as deserving as any.

Today World Rugby announced 12 players who will be inducted into the hall of fame for 2016. Amongst the names are three English World Cup winners and a whole host of legendary players.

The headline acts are Jonny Wilkinson, who famously kicked the winning points at the 2003 final, and Six Nations record try scorer Brian O'Driscoll. The pair are joined by two more World Cup winners, Lawrence Dallaglio and Maggie Alphonsi.

Shane Williams, Jeremy Guscott, Heather Moyse, John Dawes, GPS Macpherson, Arthur Gould, Daniel Carroll and Daisuke Ohata finish off the 12 person list:

Wilkinson joins Sir Clive Woodward, Martin Johnson and Jason Leonard from the 2003 triumph in Australia in the Hall of Fame.
