Post season positional rankings are always fun and create a plethora or discussion.
Today we look at the best wide forwards in the competition.
Typically one of the more difficult to rank due to the different types of second rowers.
Some are attacking, wrecking balls, other are defensive specialists while others are workhorses.
Again, this list is based purely off of 2024 performances and aren't necessarily just the ten best second rowers in the game.
Below are the top ten second rowers from 2024:
3. Briton Nikora
For the second straight season, the Sharks second-rower misses out on the top two spots by the slimmest of margins.
Nikora had a monster year that would have seen him force a fearsome second row combo for the Kiwis, if not for his wedding and reported post season surgery.
Nikora ran out 25 times for the Sharks for a return of ten tries, 11 line-breaks, 12 line-break assists, 25 offloads, 89 run metres per game and a tackle percentage of just under 91%.
Reports that the Sharks are in serious talks to extend Nikora's time at the Sharks make this Sharks fan very happy.
