PLAYER POWER RANKINGS | 14. RIGHT WING

Position by position, ranking the best players on Earth. Tracking how the list changes over time. Now, the Speedsters. The second installment of the try scoring gas men out wide, here's the Right Wingers.

Tim! You should be on television mate. You know way more than pundits who trade on their time in their respective national teams...

[_Justin_Case]

It dropped as I was watching the Left Wing video.😂😂 I'm feasting tonight.

[Zveebo]

I’m glad to see you including Storti – he’s been pretty easy to miss unless you’re keeping a pretty close eye on Pro D2, but he’s outrageously talented. It’s gonna be great to see him up in the Top 14 next year.

[joaofigueiras]

Storti might be the best at scoring tries alone. He may not be the fastest or the strongest, but he broke the ProD2 try scoring record with like 5 games in advance.

Even at the world cup, he scored tries with pace alone. Hope all the best for him in Paris!

Edit: fun fact, both storti and Jerónimo Portela played with Santiago Arata at Penarol. They were supposed to play a full season but then COVID happened

[WillemHorne]

Absolutely loving these videos. Proud of my South African players. Respect and good luck to all the other international teams.

[Richie-jp]

Mack Hanson is a once in generation player. Every time he plays you are watching what will become legendary. Add to all this the fact that he is a really positive genuinely honest human

[michaelcollier]

Canaan Moodie must be pushing this list, or the 13 list, but understandable he’s not on given who he’s behind in the Springbok pecking order. Certainly talented enough to go all the way up this list in the future. Edwill van der Merwe another with the potential to climb.

I was also very impressed by Tommy Freeman against the AB’s, so he may be one to watch on the left wing.

Josh Adams was probably my most surprising omission across the two wing positions. I know we’re in 2024 but as a South African, his performances for Wales in the World Cup 2019 semi-final and for the B&I Lions in 2021 carry so much weight his goodwill would keep him in the top 10 for the rest of his career.

Chuffed to see Kyle Steyn rated so highly!

Thanks for these videos Tim! Love your content and looking forward to having you back in SA 🇿🇦

[Camcolito]

Damien Penaud is such an incredible player for a guy whose fingers are stuck to his head.

[Oscar-dc]

Immanuel is my favorite northern hemisphere player rn

[RoyBattyLives]

Yep, that about covers it alright. Unreal top 3, I was expecting Jordan to be in 2nd spot but having not played recently I got to agree. Loving these Tim.

[Camcolito]

So disappointed when Hansen got a bad injury. I was skeptical of him before but now think he's an incredibly gifted player, hope he gets back to the level he was at, does a lot within the Ireland playing style. (and he never should have played still injured in the WC quarter, huge mistake)

[olivierarnaud-freaud]

Thanks for another great video.
Penaud is so weird, he is the most nonchalant winger one could conceive of, the Gustavo Kuerten of rugby, with the joker’s 🃏uncanny and playful smile. And something of a hyena. And the legs of an antilope.

[Stefaans]

Sevu Reece is very underrated imo. Big fan if him!! See he is starting for the Abs too this weekend!

[JohnMacLean]

Pleased to see Kyle Steyn get some appreciation. Might not necessarily have the attacking X-factor that Duhan or Graham have but he does possess such a well-rounded skillset. Better defensively and in the air imo, brilliant rugby IQ, and, above all, consistently reliable. I can hardly recall him having a bad game even when Glasgow or Scotland were overall poor. I was shocked he wasn't in the 23 for either South Africa or Ireland games in the WC - surely he gets the nod in games that call for a bit of pragmatism from here on.

[calusher]

I would suggest Tabudzadze is in the running for top 10 too. What do you think?

[PhillipDawson]

The Portugese back 3 is one of the best there is and will challenge most Tier-1 back 3. Really liking you including them and definitely here on merit.

Kyle Steyn also deserves his position, and with attack, defense and captaincy behind him, very underrated.

Top 3 will walk into any team. Penaud's defense is not always the best, but what he does on the other side of the coions more than makes up for it.

Thanks Tim

[Thudsrayz]

Oh you've completely underated sevu reece there. Fantastic rwc, fantastic SR in a woeful team. Of the entire 2024 AB squad, he'd be one of 3 or 4 whose name was in ink a month before the finals. Proof will be in the pudding i guess, but I'd put him top 5

[glenallen]

Can't argue with the top 3..
Love the inclusion of the Portuguese lad.

[Caledon]

Just on Steyn he is obviously not as flashy as most on the list but his fundamentals are excellent. Can slot in comfortably at 13, decent book, great captain, excellent defensively and solid under the high ball. Best 'safe' winger in the game.

[russellfulton]

Hey Tim, ever considered doing a list of under appreciated players? Flamont comes to mind just in the background smashing rucks all day
