Four All Blacks have made it to the last four of the fans’ vote for the World Rugby player of the decade.
Dan Carter, Beauden Barrett, Richie McCaw and Kieran Read make a list of World Cup winners and World Rugby player of the year winners over the past ten years.
Carter faces Barrett in the penultimate round of voting after the former fly-half beat Owen Farrell and Barrett narrowly edged Ma’a Nonu.
Both players have been named the player of the year twice this past decade, but Carter has an extra World Cup winners medal from 2011 as well as 112 caps and the most points in Test history with 1,598.
This will be a close battle between New Zealand’s two great fly-halves this decade.
The two All Blacks captains over the past ten years, McCaw and Read, also overcame Sergio Parisse and David Pocock respectively.
