5 James O’Connor (Leicester Tigers)
James O’Connor’s time at Leicester Tigers has been frustratingly disjointed. Touted by some as a potential successor to Handre Pollard, his season has been repeatedly interrupted by international call-ups.
After joining Leicester in the summer, O’Connor was recalled to Australia for back-to-back Bledisloe Cup Tests against New Zealand, before returning home again for the Wallabies’ final two Rugby Championship matches.
With Billy Searle now in outstanding form, O’Connor has found himself effectively surplus to requirements at Welford Road, a situation that contrasts sharply with the excitement that greeted his arrival.
