The Cult: Sonny Bill Williams
There was a time when Sonny Bill Williams contributed to rugby's booze-soaked image. Not anymore. The multi-talented Kiwi converted to Islam in 2008, becoming the sport's only high-profile Muslim.
The Cult: Brian O'Driscoll
Brian O'Driscoll was a blessing to rugby union, but also a man who survived by being blessed.
The Cult: Matt Dawson
Between rugby's amateur and professional eras came the brief heyday of the semis. No one better exemplifies them than school coach turned World Cup winner Matt Dawson.
