James Hook (Wales)

Quality five-eighths used to roll off the production line in Wales, and Hook has revived an industry that was pretty much dormant after Phil Bennett hung up his boots the best part of 30 years ago.

Only 22, the Ospreys No.10 has astounded many experienced judges through his maturity in the high-octane Test environment and ability to handle pressure with ludicrous ease.

The Welsh look certain quarter-final material, but Hook could provide an extra touch of class to possibly take them further.
