Here is a look at top players who have made an impression at the Rugby World Cup.

#1. Cheslin Kolbe- South Africa
Cheslin Kolbe is probably the best player at the Rugby World Cup. He has been nicknamed “Magic Feet” He impressed a lot of fans when South Africa beat Italy 49-3.

Last year the twenty-five-year-old helped his club the Springboks win 57-3 a during their campaign against Namibia. This was quite impressive, considering he only made his international debut last year. At 80kgs, he has proven to be a dangerous player, even with his unique running style.

#2. Beauden Barrett- New Zealand
Beauden Barrett has got the speed, ability, and agility on the field. He has been named the best player by the World Rugby Series twice. Currently, he is playing as a fullback at World Rugby. He has shown impressive teamwork with Richie Mo'unga, which has alleviated New Zealand’s standings.

The twenty-eight-year-old has been named as the best attacker at the tournament. He and the other Barret brothers are a force to be reckoned with in rugby.

#3. Micheal Leitch- Japan
Japan is currently in eighth place in the world's standings. This can all be attributed to the agility of the nation’s captain; Michael Leitch. During the 2015 World Cup, Japan did not make it to the quarter-finals. It seems that in this edition, Leitch is back for vengeance.

During the opening match against Russia, Leitch showed his prowess, and they walked away as winners. They beat their opponents 30-10. However, during their game against Ireland, the captain was put on the bench. Yet after thirty minutes, he was out back on the pitch, and he ultimately became the man of the match.

#4. Jonathan Sexton- Ireland
Jonathan Sexton is the current World Player of the Year. He missed the first game against Japan, which cost them. But he was the captain during their match against Russia. He is an authoritative player who knows what he wants.
