3. Ramiro Herrera – Argentina
Ramiro Herrera established himself as one of the world’s most destructive scrummagers at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The Telegraph‘s Steve James named him in his team of the tournament, describing him as an “absolute beast.”
The 26-year-old is also a powerful ball-carrier and a major weapon for the Pumas and has made a major impact for the Argentine Super Rugby side in 2017.
