The best XV in the world right NOW – including Antoine Dupont, Maro Itoje, Semi Radradra

SECOND-ROW

4. Maro Itoje (England) & Patrick Tuipulotu (New Zealand)

 There is not much Itoje cannot do on the rugby field and he does all of it with incredible proficiency – better than most. Meanwhile, Tuipulotu has long been punted for greatness on New Zealand shores and with every vigorous carry, lineout poach and crunching tackle the world has seen that this year.

Honourable mentions: James Ryan (Ireland) & Eben Etzebeth (South Africa)


BACK-ROW

6. Tom Curry (England), Pieter Steph-du Toit (South Africa) & 8. CJ Stander (Ireland)

 Curry is, to put it simply, a wrecking ball – he has incredible stopping power, disruptive at the breakdown, a work rate second to none. Du Toit remains heads and should above any flanker in the game right now while consistently Stander puts in man of the match worthy performances weekly for Munster and Ireland.

Honourable mentions: Ardie Savea (New Zealand), Charles Ollivon (France), Duane Vermaelen (South Africa)
