3 Michael Jones
Michael Jones is a New Zealand former rugby union player and coach. He was anointed by Rugby World magazine as the third best All Black of the 20th century after Colin Meads and Sean Fitzpatrick.
John Hart, who first picked him for Auckland, called him “almost the perfect rugby player”. Jones’s career was blighted by injuries, notably two serious knee injuries (in 1989 and 1997) and a broken jaw in 1993.
Due to this he only played 55 international games. Michael Jones is number 3 on our list of the top 10 greatest rugby players of all time
