Some British rugby internationals have anointed Beauden Barrett as the best player at the Rugby World Cup and the man to guide the All Blacks to another title.

Three Daily Telegraph expert analysts unanimously tipped the All Blacks playmaker as the most influential player at the Japan tournament.

Former Wales and British and Irish Lions midfielder Jamie Roberts claimed Barett "does not have a weakness".

Danny Care, omitted from England's World Cup squad after 84 caps, said Barrett was "the complete package".

World Rugby Hall of Famer and former England flanker Maggie Alphonsi said Barrett was "a key reason why he was still backing the All Blacks to win the World Cup".

There are two Rugby World Cup matches tonight.

Italy will face Canada at 7.45pm while England clash with USA at 10.45pm.
