The 50 most influential figures in rugby named as three Welsh people make the cut but Wayne Pivac's players are snubbed

Wales is represented three times among Rugby World's top 50 most Influential people in rugby.

The magazine publishes their list every two years but none of Wayne Pivac's current crop of players make the cut, though one Welsh player does: Jasmine Joyce.

The Welsh speedster is one of just six current players to feature in the top 50, coming in at 29, which puts her above the likes of Johnny Sexton, Marcus Smith and Maro Itoje. The only players ranked higher than her are South Africa's inspirational leader Siya Kolisi and Antoine Dupont, largely regarded as the best player in the world over the last two seasons.
