Voting procedure
The IRB Hall of Fame public voting for the 2009 inductions is now open.
The fourth induction to the IRB Hall of Fame will take place during this year's British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa, following the completion of the induction process. The IRB Hall of Fame Induction Panel has compiled a list of candidates for the 2009 Induction.
Once public voting closes on 8 May 2009, the Induction Panel will examine the votes and will nominate a shortlist of candidates for the 2009 Induction - the semi-finalists of the Class of 2009.
The candidates are divided into three sections: 19th Century, 20th Century and 21st Century.
