2. Malakai Fekitoa (New Zealand to Tonga)
- Current number of caps: 41
- Age at the start of RWC 2023: 32
- Did you know: He won 24 caps for the All Blacks between 2014 and 2017
Different to the other players on this list, the former All Blacks centre has already taken advantage of a loophole in the rules to make the international switch. He qualified to swap his allegiance to Tonga by playing in last June’s Olympic sevens qualifying event in Monaco.
