Sir Ian McGeechan ranks his 5 best wonderkids in world rugby

Almost every league and every nation has such players, and this is especially the case among the top international rugby nations in the world.

This list of Sir Ian McGeechan's top 5 wonderkids all come from Europe due to his expertease in this field.

Check out who made his selection below:

McGeechan said: "Obviously, I know his father well, so I have followed Cameron’s career fairly closely. I like what I see. Tall, rangy, more of a centre than a 10.

"He was part of the West Brom football academy for two years, which means he has a top-quality skill set and vision off the ball."

McGeechan said: "A player who could be the future of a very exciting France back row. Already part of the Racing 92 1st XV.

"Not yet capped at senior international level, but a crucial cog of the France teams who won the World Rugby Under-20 Championships in 2018 and 2019."

McGeechan said: "It is one thing coming through so young, but another to do it at Leinster, where the competition is so fierce. His ball-carrying, physicality and handling mark him out as a special talent.

"I would expect him to go on to win many Ireland caps."

McGeechan said: "You cannot put a price on outright pace. Rees-Zammit has it in abundance, and, combined with his finishing ability, you begin to understand why the hype surrounding him has been so intense."

McGeechan said: "Smith’s progression from Brighton College 1st XV to the Harlequins 1st XV was rapid and well-timed, with Nick Evans stepping back to coach.

"I have watched a lot of him. He never looks flustered on the ball, which is the hallmark of a great player and he has been in and around the England squad without yet being capped. But one to watch, certainly."
