To coincide with our countdown of Rugby's Most Influential People, we thought we would offer up some additional rankings in the form of a series of 'Top 5s'. Next up is our pick of the trophies contested around the globe - cricket can keep its little urn - we believe big is best. What do you think? 1. Bledisloe Cup - Big enough for Aaron Cruden to have a bath in and can also hold enough beer for the whole team to indulge in. 2. Heineken Cup - Sharp styling reflects its European pedigree and a secure lid to to ensure no embarrasing trophy presentation fumbles. 3. Premiership Trophy - A little too similar to the Heineken Cup but perfect proportions that allow you to remain in total control while placing on your head. 4. Currie Cup - The holy grail of South African rugby. Not quite Stanley Cup in terms of size but requires sure footing before lifting. 5. Asian Five Nations Trophy - Fire-breathing dragons, dragon-heads forming the handles and a tiger standing majestically on top. Enough said. Agree? Disagree? What are your favourites?
