All Blacks great Richie McCaw and Rugby World Cup title‑winning coach Sir Graham Henry will be inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame.
Others to be inducted include Shiggy Konno (Japan), Os du Randt (South Africa), Peter Fatialofa (Samoa), and Diego Ormaechea (Uruguay).
McCaw captained New Zealand in 110 of his 148 tests and skippered the All Blacks to World Cup triumphs in 2011 and 2015.
He was a three‑time recipient of the World Rugby Player of the Year award, a record he shares with long‑time team‑mate Dan Carter.
Henry guided the All Blacks to their first World Cup title since 1987 during the 2011 tournament on home soil. He was named World Rugby Coach of the Year in 2005 after his 3‑0 series win over the Lions in 2005.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks will face South Africa at 9.45pm next Saturday in the Rugby World Cup.
