Who can match O’Driscoll in the noughties?

Brian O’Driscoll was named by Rugby World magazine as the player of the noughties and on their team of the decade.

Hard to disagree with this choice after O’Driscoll's consistency over the decade even though he never won the IRB player of the year. The consensus in the rugby world seems to be that O’Driscoll's only other contender would be Richie McCaw, who won the IRB award twice in the decade.

Least us not forget that Keith Wood was named the inaugural IRB player of the year in 2001.
