The most destructive outside back of the tournament so far would make any backline in the world. Radradra, the former rugby league player nicknamed “Semi-trailer”, won man of the match awards against Georgia and Wales, the latter of which Eddie Jones described as “a humbling experience to see him play with such, power, pace and guile. It was one of the best displays I have seen”. Statistically, against Georgia he scored two tries and set up three, running 177m with five clean breaks and beating 11 defenders. Against Wales he managed 148 metres from 15 runs, escaped five defenders and broke the line twice to set up scores.
