Fraser McReight was the turnover king in 2025, almost doubling the number of turnovers of his closest rival in international rugby.<\/p>\n
The Australian flanker was on red-hot form during the 14 Test matches he\u2019s been involved in this calendar year, making a remarkable 24 turnovers.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy role\u2026 as a number seven, is to be a good defender, be a pest, have a high work rate, that\u2019s what I try to do,\u201d McRieight said in August, just before he became the 91st captain of the Wallabies<\/a> for their match at the DHL Stadium against the Springboks.<\/p>\n OptaJonny \u2013 a page on X dedicated to highlighting the best stats in rugby union, claimed: \u201cFive players won 10+ turnovers in men\u2019s Tier 1 international rugby in 2025, with Wallabies back-rower Fraser McReight winning 10 more than anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n Sitting well down in second place, Manuel Zuliani<\/a>, the Italian backrower, still made an impressive 14 turnover wins. Tied in third place was England\u2019s Maro Itoje, Argentina\u2019s Pablo Matera and New Zealand\u2019s Ardie Savea with a respectable 11 each.<\/p>\n Fraser McReight \u2013 24 24 \u2013 Five players won 10+ turnovers in men\u2019s Tier 1 international rugby in 2025, with @Wallabies<\/a> back-rower Fraser McReight winning 10 more than anyone else.<\/p>\n Fraser McReight \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa \u2013 24 Pilferers.<\/p>\n \u2014 OptaJonny (@OptaJonny) December 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n
