Jonah Lomu: Launched onto the world scene as a superstar in South Africa in 1995.

At the end of this year's tournament in France, we will compile a list of the most popular players as voted by you.

The inaugural event in 1987 featured star names such as New Zealand's John Kirwan, Philippe Sella of France and Australia's record try-scorer David Campese.

In 1991, goalkickers Michael Lynagh and Rob Andrew were to the fore in a hard-fought tournament often dominated by forward packs.

All Blacks winger Jonah Lomu changed all that in South Africa in 1995, becoming a superstar after his four-try heroics in the semi-final against England.

John Eales led Australia to success in Wales in 1999, where the giant lock's future successor as skipper George Gregan also emerged as one of the world's biggest talents.

The Wallabies hosted it in 2003, where Jonny Wilkinson became a household name after kicking England to glory in the final.

These are just a few of the names who have graced rugby's biggest stage in the past 20 years, now we would like to hear from you.
