Jonny Wilkinson overtook the Welshman Neil Jenkins in the 2008 RBS 6 Nations match between England and Scotland on Saturday the 8th March, 2008. He now has 1098 points.
Dan Carter overtook Johnny Wilkinson's tally by scoring 12 points against Wales on the 2010 All Black tour of the Home Nations. His total international points are now 1,188 (before the 2011 season).
Neil Jenkins, of Wales, is currently the player with the highest points total in an international rugby union career. Hold on a little longer and England's Johnny Wilkinson will probably surpass Jenkins' tally, though.
Wilkinson has passed Jenkins' tally.
Dan Carter is also likely to pass that tally.
This is my opinion: 1: James Hook - Fly Half (WALES) 2: Shane Williams - Wing (WALES) 3: Ryan Jones - Number 8 (WALES) 4: Mike Blair - Scrum Half (SCOTLAND) 5: Sergio Parisse - Flanker (Italy) 6: Jean-Baptise Ellisalde - Scrum Half (France) 7: Yannick Jauzion - Centre (FRANCE) 8: Brian O'Driscoll - Centre (Ireland) 9: Phil Vickery - Prop (ENGLAND) 10: Ronan O'Gara - Fly Half (IRELAND)
