Dan Carter.
This a definite and bet most of the people who answer this question will agree with me.
Fot the record this is what I think the best team in world rugby would look like
15.C.Poitrenaud(france) 14. J.Rockocoko(NewZealand) 13.B.O'Driscoll(ireland) 12.Y.Jauzion(fr) 11. B.Habana(SthAfrica) 10.D.Carter(NZ) 9. D.Peel(wales) 8.S.Parisse(italy) 7. R.McCaw(NZ) 6.S.Burger(S.A) 5. P.O'Connell(Irl)
4.V.Matfield(S.A) 3. C.Haymans(NZ) 2.J.Smit(S.A)
1.A.Sheridan(England)
Unlike the best player I imagine most people would not agree with me.
some of the players who just missed ot included F.contepomi(argentina) K.Meleamu(NZ) Siviautua (NZ) M.Muliania(NZ) J.Collins (NZ) G.D'arcy (irl) J.Robinson (eng) S.Marconnet(Fra) and S.Chabal (Fra)

It's a toss up between McCaw and Carter. Other unsung modern-day greats include Carl Hayman (another Kiwi, hardly seen 'cos he's in front row underworld ), Felipe Contepomi and hooker Mario Ledesma (not enough exposure because they play for Argentina). Nice team picked by Kevin K. I like Parisse too,bold but exciting selection, great No.8, but John Smit as hooker?! He's never good enough to be picked for SA, never mind oust any of the top five country's hookers. Once SA's current coaching staff get axed, he'll be the first to go.
My team:
15 Chris Latham AUS
14 Lote Tuqiri AUS
13 Yannick Jauzion FRA
12 Felipe Contepomi ARG
11 Joe Rokocoko NZ
10 Dan Carter NZ
9 Byron Kelleher NZ
1 Marcos Ayerza ARG
2 Mario Ledesma ARG
3 Carl Hayman NZ
6 Jerry Collins NZ
4 Fabien Pelous FRA
5 Paul O'Connell IRE
7 Richie McCaw NZ
8 Denis Leamy IRE
SUBS:
12 B.O'Driscoll IRE
11 R.Caucaunibuca FIJI
9 F.Du Preez SA
6 Neil Best IRE
5 B.Botha SA
3 Pieter De Villiers FRA
2 K.Mealamu NZ
Not even room for stars like Lobbe (Arg), Wilkinson (Eng), Muliaina (NZ), Sivivatu (NZ), Harinordorquy (Fra), Mortlock (Aus), Jack (NZ),Simon Taylor (Sco), Waugh (Aus), George Smith (Aus), etc.

According to the majority: Richie McCaw
Personally, I would have a hard time choosing between Dan Carter and Richie McCaw - they are both amazing talents.

Richie McCaw won the IRB award for best player last year... it has to be between him and Dan Carter.
