Fijian flyer Semi Radradra and Springboks sensation Cheslin Kolbe are the last two players standing in a worldwide fan vote to determine the planet's best wing.

Punters worldwide hit the polls on Rugbypass's Facebook and Instagram account as part of the Straight 8 Fan Vote campaign to decide the best players on the globe on each position, as voted by fans.

After easily defeating Japan's hero Kenki Fukuoka in the first round of knockouts, Radradra face-off with Springboks try-scoring machine, Makazole Mapimpi in the semifinals.

Radradra ran away with a tie accumulating an impressive 72 percent of the vote.

Kolbe dominated Welsh wing Josh Adams in the quarterfinals and thumped England try-scoring machine Johnny May in the semifinals.

Radradra's impressive play in the Rugby World Cup led him to become the Flying Fijians Player of the Year.
