Leicester Tigers flyhalf Handre Pollard (third) is hailed for his ice-cool mentality and winning pedigree, with distribution skills adding finesse to his pragmatic game.
Benhard Janse van Rensburg (fifth) continues to impress for the Bristol Bears, blending incisive attacking and ferocious defence to become one of the English Premiership’s standout centres. At Edinburgh, powerhouse duo Pierre Schoeman (14th) and Duhan van der Merwe (15th) deliver consistent performances.
