Easy one, Ardie Savea. Best player in the world and deservedly so. He's been consistently world-class for the last three seasons.

Yes, easy to pick : Savea, of course. Alldritt is bubbling under. Actually, before the RWC, I think it was Alldritt who was the best Nr.8 in the world.

[sparky]

Ardie of course.

Ardie is a genuine AB great.

Without taking anything away from him he is helped by not too many standing out worldwide at the moment ?

[foobaNZ]

Ardie. I really hope he does get the Cup next time. Too good a player not to have one on his CV.

Vaea Fifita.

Some typically storming runs and a lovely try against Ireland.

I really think Savea has grown into the No8 role over the last year. He’s always been a very good loose forward but is now more rounded as an 8 for me. Last year I’d have had Aldritt top, not so sure this year.

Gotta be Alldritt. Ardie wasn't up to the same standard as last year and a couple of strong performances against Ireland and South Africa have made people forget he was a bit average earlier in the campaign.

[W32]

Yeah Savea
