All Blacks star Beauden Barrett has been judged as the world's second-best rugby player with Wales' captain Alun Wyn Jones taking top spot in Rugby World's Best 100 players poll.
The English magazine ranked three All Blacks in the top 10 - with second-ranked Barrett joined by lock Brodie
Retallick (fourth) and outside back Ben Smith (seventh).
All Black flanker Ardie Savea came in at 15th in the Best 100 list as the only other All Black to make the top 20.
It's not the first time Barrett, who was crowned World Rugby player of the year back-to-back in 2016 and 2017, has had to settle for second place either.
The 28-year-old All Blacks star trailed England's Owen Farrell in Rugby World's 2018 survey.
