Fans in the Reddit have spent the weekend viscously debating both categories.
UNDERRATED:
#5. Tadhg Beirne (Ireland)
“He is one of the best players in the world right now – imo underrated despite the fact people think he’s great”

“Has been immense defensively for the last few years and has evolved into a really effective ball carry. Quietly one of the best flankers around”
Embed from Getty Images#3. Ali Price (Scotland)
“Underrated is Ali Price, that guy is honestly amazing, and if Dupont didn’t exist, people would be calling him the best scrum half in the Northern Hemisphere”
“How have Glasgow managed to hang on to Price for so long. Seems like someone who should have been offered a big pay day in France/England by now”.

“is a test lion that I barely see anyone talk up outside Ireland. I think the guy’s incredible.”

“In an England backline that basically played like shit for 5 weekends, Marchant actually looked decent whenever he got the ball.”

#5. Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
“Jones only had 60 mins total, but I don’t see what he brought that was so much better than Will Rowlands that the latter had to be dropped.”
