Aaron Smith. Best pass in the business. Huge engine for a little fella.

Faf deserves a nom for his hairdo alone, plus he has the best box kick in the business.

[Victor Meldrew]

Smith - best all round 9

Faf - better kicker than Smith, but that's it

Mention for Tate McDermott. Wobbles look a different team when he plays. A star in the making, I reckon.

Mention for Tate McDermott. Wobbles look a different tram when he plays. A star in the making, I reckon.

I still think the other wallaby half whose name currently escapes me is better and is vastly underrated

Not a patch on Smith and Dupont though.

@mariner4life Nic White?

@mariner4life Nic White?

Mo guy?

[Victor Meldrew]

@mariner4life Yep.

[mariner4life]

Yeah him, good player.

[MiketheSnow]

Will be a hemisphereal choice

Smith or Dupont

[Catogrande]

Seeing as it is for 2021 it has to be Dupont. Smith seems to have been absent too much to be a contender.

[sparky]

Dupont is an all-time great. Best player in the world at the moment by some distance.

[cgrant]

Dupont. Best player of the year.

@mariner4life Yep.

As a former lock, I would have to say I would of loved to play against this joker as you just know catching him in a ruck and working him over would make it a great game regardless of score.Just the look of him with that mo!!
