Surname	First Name	Country	Pros	Cons
BOFELLI	Emiliano	ARG	Hugely positive influence for the teams he plays. Big boot.
KOROIBETE	Marika	AUS	Most impactful (both attack and defence) and important player to Australia. Very hard working. No fear.
MAPIMPI	Makazole	RSA	Quick. Fantastic step
Van der MERWE	Duhan	SCO	A monster.

Makazole Mapimpi

Quick and with a fantastic step.

Van der Merwe is the obvious choice IMO. This man is a monster.
But I must mention here that I don't understand why NZ allowed someone like Lowe go north. He would certainly walk in the present AB team with ease. He is a good finisher and has a massive left boot, which is something the ABs don't have. Each time they get a penalty in the right side of the pitch, their kick for touch does not win more than 10 meters. This is a pretty poor aspect of the ABs game.

Scots have had lots of huge wingers in the past 20 years, difference is this guy is really good.

Probably the only Wallaby with a case for this team... Marika Koroibete. Easily our most impactful and important player.

He's not just impactful on attack and defence, he's one of the hardest working wingers running around too.

Would get my vote with the Saffer not far behind

[Mackerzzzz]

Marika Koroibete. Absolutely no fear whatsoever. Will throw himself head long into a concrete wall if there is a chance it could help

[ARHS]

Emiliano Boffelli has had a hugely positive influence for the teams he plays for during 2022. More so than the other contenders in my view.

Go to poll in the OP to vote.

Koreibeti. Without him Aus are half the side. I’d love to see him playing in a consistently fully firing Aus team. As it is he is more often than not the point of difference between Aus being pretty ordinary and being competitive.
