The best player for every Tier One nation this Autumn

The new captain has been the Pumas most consistent performer during a very tough European tour. He's been a tough tackler, strong carrier and was relentless at the breakdown, winning an incredible amount of turnovers.

Back at fullback, Folau looks threatening every time he touches the ball. Very much one of the best in world rugby.

You can't keep him down. His galvanising presence and cool goalkicking make England a really tough team to beat. He also kicks spectacularly. Maro Itoje is a close second.

Underlined his sparkling form this season with a brace of tries against Argentina. One of the most dangerous finishers in the game. It's been a poor series for the French, but captain Guilhem Guirado has also impressed.

The Leinster fly-half combines beady competitive instinct with hard-earned tactical awareness and both were in full effect as he guided his side to a historic victory against the All Blacks. Next in line are Rory Best, Tadhg Furlong, James Ryan, Peter O'Mahony and Jacob Stockdale in no particular order.

The best of a rather bad bunch. Has kicked effectively throughout the series and made the most metres. A very decent playmaker

The mobile ball-playing giant was singled out for special attention from both England and Ireland but is still the very best line-out poacher in World Rugby. His second-half performance will live long in the memory of All Blacks fans. Other players considered includes Ryan Crotty, Damien McKenzie, Owen Franks and Ben Smith.

Has grown as an internationalist over this series. Scotland’s best performer against Argentina - in the middle of everything from start to finish. Tackled hard, carried hard, competed hard at the breakdown and was a useful line-out option throughout the month. Sean Maitland has also been impressive in the four matches.

Not the best loosehead prop in the world yet, but he's heading in the right direction fast. The dynamic Springbok scrummager is also a good carrier. Also considered were Duane Vermeulen and Handre Pollard.

His versatility and dynamism have shone throughout the Autumn as Warren Gatland continues to experiment ahead of the Rugby World Cup next year. Sees off the challenge from the very impressive Ken Owens to be named RUCK's best Welsh player this month.
