World Rugby Museum Wall of Fame

The Twickenham Wall of Fame (or World Rugby Museum Wall of Fame), not to be confused with the IRB Hall of Fame, was opened at the World Rugby Museum by Martin Johnson on 3 June 2005 as a celebration of the best players from all over the world that have played at Twickenham Stadium. Inductees are unveiled on the date of England international fixtures at Twickenham.

The criteria for any inducted player is:

  • To have appeared at Twickenham in a full international match
  • To have been retired from the international game
  • To have achieved ‘greatness’ in their international career

As well as the wall inside the Museum, the players are remembered around Twickenham Stadium on blue plaques.
