12 Jordie Barrett (New Zealand): OK, we’ll admit it – Ian Foster has pulled off a masterstroke to convey Jordie into the center. His means to energy the hit or distribute with the boot has remodeled the All Blacks midfield and has really given them a multi-faceted assault.

A fantastic entertainer
10 Discover Russell (Scotland): Contemplating that France’s Matthieu JalibertSouth African Damian Willemse and New Zealand Richie Mo’unga had been completely excellent all autumn, Russell’s efficiency needed to be particular to beat them – and it was! That is one other one the place we choose the participant who places essentially the most smiles on essentially the most faces and Russell is the consummate entertainer.
9 Aaron Smith (New Zealand): No competitors right here – Te Nug is nearly as good as some other half hill on this planet and earnings Antoine Dupont’s Crimson card. Faf de Klerk was the heartbeat of the Springboks once they had been match.

Franco Mostert was an unsung hero for the Springboks whereas Scotland’s Jamie Ritchie confirmed his management, with Wales Jack Morgan additionally spectacular.
A fearsome competitor

Etzebeth is essentially the most feared ahead in world rugby bar none and has subsequently been moved to quantity 5 to accommodate him alongside one other wonderful performer.

2 Julien Marchand (France): When selecting the most effective whore on this planet, the one certainty is that the participant’s final title begins with the letter “m” as one among Julian Montoya, Malcolm Marx or Marchand is a worthy choice. We simply really feel the Toulouse man is essentially the most full of the trio, though we would accept any one among them in our squad.
1 Andrew Porter (Eire): Eire’s scrum end is the most effective on this planet, statistically talking, and Porter is on the coronary heart of it.
